James Bemiller worked for Richland County Children Services

Posted by Paula Scott on June 12, 2023 - 4:15pm

Volunteer work included serving as Bluffton Lions Club president

James "Jim" Bemiller, beloved son, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, passed away on Friday, June 9, 2023. He grew up in the farm country of north central Ohio and lived in Mansfield for 47 years, before moving to Bluffton in 2010.

Jim was born on April 26, 1937, in Johnsville, Ohio, to the late Lee and Lucille (VanBuren) Bemiller. He was a 1955 Honors Graduate of Fredericktown High School and he enjoyed serving as an officer in Future Farmers of America, and working the family farm with his parents and siblings. He was a proud graduate of The Ohio State University and earned his B.S. in Agricultural Economics in 1959. He went on to earn his M.S. in Rural Sociology in 1961, and an M.S. in Social Work in 1963, both from Ohio State.

While in graduate school he met and married the love of his life, Joan L. (Pence) Bemiller, in 1961, and together they built a strong and caring family. They were a loving team and enjoyed traveling, camping, supporting their children and grandchildren in their pursuits, and visiting with family and friends. Jim and Joan shared 52 wonderful years together until her passing on April 22, 2013.
