Timothy Jolly

Tim attended Linden-McKinley High School. After school, he began working for Krieger Ford as an automobile mechanic. He worked there for 44 years and was very proud of his strong work ethic and dedication. He retired in 2024 after many years of hard work. He could fix anything and everything. Tim loved racing, especially dirt track racing and NASCAR. He enjoyed going to races and even drove his own racecar #21, that he built himself, for several years. Racing was something he truly loved and was a big part of his life. He also loved camping, fishing, gambling, and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Most of all, Tim loved his family. He was selfless and caring, always putting others before himself and doing whatever he could to help the people he loved. He is survived by his daughter, Yvonne (Jason) Stanley; grandchildren, Ava, Addyson, and Alivia Stanley; mother, Marjorie Ann (DeBolt) Jolly; siblings, Don (Mary) Jolly, Roger (Dawn) Jolly, Linda Hoskinson, and Dave (Brenda) Jolly; nieces and nephews, lifelong friends, and his beloved cat, Gus, and dog, Bella.

He was preceded in death by his father, Orum Price Jolly, and his brother-in-law, Randy Hoskinson.
