James Nutting Obituary
Born in Rome on March 3, 1957, to Marilyn Webster and Charles Nutting, Jim was a lifelong resident of the community. He attended Rome schools and earned his nursing degree from MVCC in 1996. A proud veteran of the U.S. Navy, Jim served his country honorably until his discharge in 1977.
Jim's true passion was nursing. He was deeply dedicated to advocating for his patients and ensuring they received the highest quality care. Beyond his professional life, Jim was known for his vibrant personality and his many contributions to the community. Whether entertaining as a DJ, sharing his signature cookies, or enjoying coffee and conversation with friends throughout Rome, he brought joy to those around him. Jim and his beloved wife also shared a love for ballroom dancing and were active participants in the ballroom dance community.
Jim is survived by his devoted wife, Sue (Hall); his children, Ryan (Tara) Nutting, Lindsay (Caleb) Blair, and Tyler (Jennifer) Nutting; and his father, Charles. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren: Skylar, Kristopher, Natalie, Paisley, Chase, Callie, and two twin Nutting boys soon to arrive. Additionally, he is survived by his brother, Scott Nutting; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles, including his especially close Uncle Bill and Aunt Joyce Nesfeder. Jim was predeceased by his mother, Marilyn.

I had the privilege of knowing Jim during my time as an LPN. As a single mother navigating the challenges of agency nursing, Jim went above and beyond to ensure I had opportunities that worked with my schedule, always keeping my family´s well-being in mind. On my days off, I often found myself visiting the office-not just for work, but for the warm company and genuine conversations. I´ll never forget when Jim showed up to my graduation when I earned my RN degree and he surprised me with flowers that perfectly captured his thoughtfulness and support! You will be missed Jimbo!

James, Jim, or Jimmy as we sometimes called him was a special person, a special relative, a special cousin...though we began somewhat distanced over the years, occasionally meeting for a wedding or some other family event, my memories of knowing, growing up with, ocassionally hanging out with my older cousin include memories of going to see Saturday Night Fever with him at the theatre, single screen, in Skaneateles probably my first time seeing a film in a theatre that was not a kid film, and I think with my brother Kevin went as well...and like I said my first, but Jimmy had seen the film like a half dozen times before and he wore the clothes to match the spirit of Tony Manero/John Travolta. I also remember the, I think 1970, white Corvette Stingray T-Top, and given Jim's height, the T-Top no doubt came in handy; and along the same lines we went to see him play hockey at the coleseum at the NYS Fairgrounds and of course his 6'5", 6'6" self was the goalie. Always nice, always smiling, always seemed and am sure was happy, taken oddly, and all too soon, rest in piece cousin Jim.
