James (J.B.) Allen Braughton passed from this world on May 23, 2020. He was born to his late parents, Benjamin Sr. and LaFrenda Braughton on July 8, 1939.
He was a quiet and reserved man who had a unique laugh that made anyone around him chuckle. He loved his family and friends deeply while enjoying life to the fullest.
He worked at Eli Lilly for 36 years, retiring as a supervisor. He was also a member of the Jubilee Mason Lodge 746.
He is survived by his best friend and partner in life: Sherri Ardelean; five children: Marsheila G. Braughton-Tidwell, James E. Braughton, Douglas A. Braughton, David A. Braughton, and Michael A. Braughton; three brothers: the late Richard (Dick) Braughton, John (Bud) Braughton, and Benjamin Braughton, Jr.; twelve grandchildren; and fourteen great-grandchildren. All surviving family members will miss him every day.
To honor J.B.’s final wishes, no service will be held. Arrangements are in the care of Simplicity Funeral & Cremation Care, Indianapolis.
