James William Joseph Sanderlin

passed away on December 3, 2025, surrounded by the love of his

family. Born on December 27, 1950, Jim was the beloved son of

Mavis Mozell Garner and William Asa Sanderlin.

In 1980, Jim married, Georgia Dutton. Jim was a proud father to

his daughters Nicole Womble (husband Adam) and Miranda

Sanderlin, who were the greatest joys of his life. He was also a

deeply cherished grandfather to Hayden, Allison, Addison, and

Harrison Womble, each of whom brought him immense pride

and happiness.

Jim is survived by his brother Anthony Wayne Sanderlin, and

his sister Mary Louise McClave. He is preceded in death by his

parents, his brothers William Thel Woodard and Dale Worth

Woodard, and his sisters Dorthia Anne Bonnin and Carlita

Yvonne Woodard Wheeler.

Jim honorably served his country in the United States Marine

Corps, a commitment that shaped his character and instilled in

him the values of discipline, loyalty, and quiet strength. He went

on to dedicate more than 40 years to an accomplished career with

Raytheon, Washington Group, Bechtel, and ultimately retired

from Shell in 2020.

Outside of work, Jim found joy in the simple but meaningful

pleasures of life. He loved playing the drums, riding motorcycles

on open Texas roads, and spending cherished time with his

daughters and grandchildren.

His presence—steady, kind, and full of heart—was a source of

comfort and love to everyone who knew him.

Jim leaves behind a legacy of devotion, hard work, and deep love

for his family. His laughter, his stories, and his unwavering

generosity will be remembered always.

He will be profoundly missed
