James E. ‘Jim’ Ball

James E. “Jim” Ball, 53, Marysville, went to be with his Lord and Sav­ior Tues­day morn­ing May 1, 2012, at Mill­crest Nurs­ing Home in Marysville.

He was born on Decem­ber 26, 1958, to Eugene Ball of Sun­bury and the late Mar­ilu (Arring­ton) Ball. He was a 1977 grad­u­ate of Big Wal­nut High School and attended Genoa Bap­tist Church. He had lived in the Marysville area since 1995 and worked in assem­bly at Honda since 1989.

Jim loved his wife and daugh­ter with all of his heart. He loved the Lord and was bap­tized in his par­ents back­yard. Jim marched to the beat of his own drum­mer liv­ing for the present and not wor­ry­ing about the future. Jim and his daugh­ter went to cruise-ins around the area, at the Marysville Burger King, Earth Angel in Lan­caster or any other place they were being held. He was proud of his 1972 and 1965 Chevy Novas and the work he had put into them. Another pas­time was going to fairs with Jamie and work­ing on his cars in his garage.

He is sur­vived by his wife of 22 years: Yan (Liu) Ball, whom he were mar­ried July 2, 1989, in a back­yard cer­e­mony; daugh­ter: Jamie Lee Ball at home; father: Eugene and Crys­tal Ball of Sun­bury; broth­ers: Chris (Mar­cia Hieber) of Sun­bury and Gene of Columbus.
