James “Jim” Hollinger passed away Oct. 20, 2018, at the age of 58. Jim was born in Des Moines, Iowa, but made his home in the Ozarks of Southwest Missouri. He graduated from Reeds Spring High School in 1979 where he excelled at football.

During the 1980’s he served in the US Navy as an air traffic controller. Jim loved the outdoors, was always up for an adventure, and always happy to lend a helping hand to friends.

He is survived by sisters Barbara Coughennower, St. Joseph, MO, Janice Roland (Gary) New Market, IA, Kathleen (Richard) Labertew, Indianola, IA, Christine (Danny) Porter, Indianola, IA, Teresa (Richard) Sinn, Indianola, IA, Jacqueline (Jeffrey) Kleymann, Eureka Springs, AR, and multiple nieces and nephews.

He will be greatly missed, and never forgotten. Graveside services are scheduled for a later date.


Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is Hatred, let me sow Love.
Where there is Injury, Pardon.
Where there is Doubt, Faith.
Where there is Despair, Hope.
Where there is Darkness, Light, and
Where there is Sadness, Joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

St. Francis of Assisi
