James Ross Willsey

James earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Accounting from Arizona State University and built a long and successful career in banking. He was a devout parishioner of St. Stevens Catholic Church and a proud 30-year resident of IronOaks in Sun Lakes, Arizona. James was actively involved and generously gave his time by serving on the IronOaks Board of Directors.

Outside of his profession, James embraced life’s simple pleasures. He loved fly fishing and golf and was an avid reader. He will be deeply missed by all who were lucky to have known him.

James is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 65 years, Carole Willsey; his daughters, Robyn Paulyne Nicholson, and Susan Amelia Hollaar; his sons, Michael Ross Willsey and Kirk James Willsey; and grandchildren, Mallory Walters, Jacob Nicholson, R.J. Hollaar, Ashleigh Buchanan, Kate Willsey, Braden Willsey, Audra Willsey, Caleb Willsey, Yvee Willsey, and Dean Willsey.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Dobson Home Hospice of the Valley, who the family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to.

Services for James will be held at a later date.
