Charles Heffley Obituary
Jan 31, 1940 - Jan 17, 2026
Willard
Charles James "Jim" Heffley, 85, longtime resident of Willard, passed away Saturday, January 17, 2026, at Embassy Nursing Home in Willard. He was born January 31, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York, to the late Charles and Alice Heffley.
Jim worked for CSX Railroad for 44 years and retired after dedicating his career to the railroad. He was also a member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Willard. An avid sports fan who cheered for many teams, Jim lived and breathed the 12 weeks in the fall when The Ohio State University football team was playing. While his job and sports were two main joys in his life, being a loving husband and father were his most prestigious titles.
Jim is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Sandra (McKee) Heffley; two sons, John Heffley (Amanda Rose) and Chris (Heidi) Heffley; and two grandchildren, Tyler Heffley and Jersey Heffley.
In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his stepmother, Anna Heffley and brother, John Heffley.
Family and friends may visit from noon -2 p.m. Friday, January 23, 2026, at Secor Funeral Home in Willard. Jim's funeral service will begin at 2 p.m. with Father Eric Mueller officiating. Burial will be at a later date at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Willard.
Memorial contribu-tions can be made to Buckeye Hospice, as Jim's family appreciates all the kindness and care they have given to their family.
