Jimmy T. "Billy" Underwood, Sr.
Mr. Jimmy T. "Billy" Underwood, Sr., 78, of Americus, GA, passed away on 
Thursday, April 25, 2024, at Magnolia Manor in Buena Vista, GA. A graveside 
funeral service will be held at 2:00PM on Sunday, April 28, 2024, at Oak Grove 
Cemetery with Rev. David Chapman officiating. The family will greet friends at

Mr. Underwood was born in Buena Vista, GA, on September 15, 1945, to William 
Dudley Underwood and Lois Barrett Underwood Cardin. He was a hard worker and 
began his career at the Marlette Mobile Home plant and then worked at Magnolia 
Manor in Americus as the Director of Maintenance for twelve years. He eventually 
opened his own business, Jimmy Underwood Home Improvements. Mr. Underwood 
enjoyed driving, riding his tractor and reminiscing.  As a young man, he burned 
up the streets of Buena Vista usually giving the local police a run for their 
money. There’s even a story about his car ending up in Heard’s Lake.  He loved 
NASCAR and was a devoted Dale Earnhardt fan.  Mr. Underwood loved his family and 
enjoyed fishing with his children and looking after his hogs, rabbits, and dogs.  
He also enjoyed watching the Andy Griffith show.  Once he moved to Magnolia 
Manor, the staff enjoyed his humor and he was often found up front acting as the 
greeting committee. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a 
brother, Grady Underwood, and by two sisters, Linda Anthony and Louise Jones.

He is survived by his son, Jimmy Underwood, Jr. (Robin); by a daughter, Monica 
Andrews (JR); a sister, Grace Allen; a grandson, Christopher Underwood; a great-
granddaughter, Alyssa Underwood; his Uncle Bobby Underwood (Brenda) and numerous 
nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Gentiva Hospice, Magnolia Manor of Marion County, 
and their loving and compassionate staff for taking such excellent care of Mr. 
Underwood.

Flowers are accepted or memorials may be made to Gentiva Hospice, 700 Brookstone 
Center Pkwy, Columbus, GA, 31904, or Magnolia Manor of Marion County, P. O. Box
