SEARCY — Jimmy L. Humphrey,

84, of Searcy, peacefully went to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 30, 2020. He was born in Newport, Ark., on February 17, 1936, to Walter and Evalina Hubert Humphrey. He proudly served in the US Army, through which he completed a two-year tour in Germany. After 23 years and almost two million miles, Jimmy retired as a bus driver from Trailways Bus Line. He was a devoted member of Souls Harbor Church for over 20 years and most recently, he faithfully attended Pentecostal Church of God in Searcy. Jimmy was committed to mission work and always gave a helping hand to those in need. He was a supporter of St. Jude Hospital among other charities. His greatest joy was working in his yard, but his greatest love was his family.
