James Lipham Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Martin & Hightower Funeral Home - Carrollton on Oct. 2, 2025.
James Randolph "Randy" Lipham, age 71, of Carrollton, Georgia, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. He was born on January 17, 1954, in Carrollton, Georgia, to the late Burnell Lipham and Geneva Scantlin Lipham.
A loving husband, proud father, and grandfather, Randy took great pride in his role as caretaker for his home and family. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and gardener. His fulfillment came with sharing his bounty with his neighbors and his family members.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 52 years, Mary Jo Willis Lipham; his children, Chris & Pam Lipham and Michelle Lipham; his sister, Brenda Wilson; and his grandchildren, Mackenzie Lipham, Chandon Seese, A.J. Lipham, Gracie Lipham, Jaxon Puckett, Caleb Lipham, Brantley Lipham, and Breyce Puckett.
In addition to his parents, Randy is preceded in death by his brothers, Larry Brown, Roger Lipham, and Wally Lipham.
Those who knew Randy will remember his humor, compassion, and unwavering devotion to his family and friends. Though he will be deeply missed, his memory will live on in the love he shared and the lives he touched.
The family will receive friends at Martin & Hightower Funeral Home on Friday, October 3, 2025, from 5:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. and on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 12:00 P.M. until 1:30 P.M.
A funeral service to honor and celebrate Randy's life will be held in the Chapel of Martin & Hightower Funeral Home on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 2 P.M. with Rev. Keith Jiles and Rev.
