Jimmie H. Whitfield, loving husband, father, papaw, brother and friend passed away on Wednesday, December 28, 2022 surrounded by family.

Jimmie was born to Bernice Sanders and Howard Whitfield on Monday, August 29, 1938 in Pineville, AR and was the eldest sibling of three children, including Max and Charles. At 18 years of age, he married the love of his life, Donnie Decker and they began their family with two daughters, Cindy and Tammy. Jimmie and Donnie built a beautiful marriage of 66 years. Jimmie and Donnie's family grew to include two son-in-laws, Mike Owens and Kevin Polczynski; Grandchildren, Nick, Ben, Zac, Jonna and Great-grandchildren, Phoenix, Sydney, Jaxon, Sayer and Elyse. He is also survived by loving nieces, nephews and a host of long-time friends.

While Jimmie was most proud of his family, he was also a successful businessman. After many years at ARKLA, his accomplishments include area supervisor for AR, LA, TX and OK. He worked tirelessly to advocate for safety and public utilities as a registered lobbyist, both locally and in Washington, D.C. Jimmie was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Mountain View, Arkansas.

Jimmie enjoyed combining his hobbies of golfing, fishing, watching the Razorbacks and Cardinals with family and friends. His faith and love of life will be exemplified by those he leaves behind.

A celebration of Jimmie's life is planned for Saturday, December 31, 2022 at 10:30 a.m. at Flatwoods Baptist Church in Mountain View, AR. Services will be under the direction of his nephew, Rodney Whitfield.
