Jahue Roosevelt Walters

Jahue Roosevelt Walters, age 88, of Anderson Township, Ohio, peacefully passed away on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. Born in Bell County, Kentucky, on November 7, 1936, to Laura (Cox) Walters and Hobert Walters. 

Jahue was the beloved husband of Gloria R. Walters (nee Johnson), who preceded him in death. Their enduring love spanned 63 years, a testament to their deep bond and commitment to one another.

Jahue dedicated much of his professional life to the Ford Motor Company, where he not only excelled in his work but also forged lasting friendships. He cherished sharing stories from his time there, often recounting the camaraderie and experiences that shaped his career. After retiring in 1999, he embraced the freedom that came with this new chapter, allowing him to enjoy more than 25 years of retirement.

 During these years, Jahue poured his heart into helping family and friends with various projects, always ready to lend a hand or offer his expertise. He found great joy in spending time with his mother and maintaining strong connections with his loved ones. His unwavering commitment to service extended beyond his family; Jahue was deeply involved in his church. He dedicated countless hours to its upkeep and improvements. Jahue and Gloria had a deep relationship with Christ and were lifelong friends with Pastor John Bruce whose friendship and prayerful support was a great comfort throughout their lifetimes. 

Jahue's legacy is one of love, service, and dedication. He leaves behind a family who will forever cherish his memory and the values he instilled in them. He will be greatly missed but lovingly remembered by all whose lives he touched.
