Jim Musser (James Franklin) passed away in Aurora, Colorado, on November 14, 2021, after a short fight with Leukemia. He was born west of Diamond, Missouri, on January 10, 1938 and was the oldest of the three boys born to Frank and Bea (Cole) Musser.
Jim worked for Atlas Powder Company for many years until 1978 when he and his wife Carlene (Lockart Musser) started All Seasons Florist in Joplin. Carlene was the love of his life. The two of them owned and operated the florist for 22 years.
Jim was severely injured in an accident that took Carleen’s life in 2001. However, he was resilient and managed to live a quality life for the next 20 years. He was also preceded in death by his parents.
He loved to travel and spent the last 11 years traveling and enjoying life with his companion, Bonnie Young.
Jim is survived by his three children and their spouses - Janet Garman and husband Sonny, Jerry Musser and wife Mechelle, Julie Hannon and husband Pete; seven grandchildren - Aaron Garman and wife Erin, Andrew Garman and wife Samantha, Casey Sturdy and husband Ryan, Jamie Hatfield, Taylor Hannon and wife Ashton, Jordan Musser and Darci Musser; five great grandchildren - Colby Garman, Madison Garman, Aleigha Hatfield, Molly Hannon and Carter Hannon; and his brothers Wayne Musser and wife Robbie and John Musser and wife Donna.
A private remembrance of life will be held at a later date.
