2015 journal 295 X. HISTORICAL MATERIAL A. HISTORICAL SKETCH The Western North Carolina Conference shall include all North Carolina west of the North Carolina Conference, except Savannah Church, in Alleghany County, North Carolina; and also that part of North Carolina lying north of the New River, and including that part of Virginia lying south of that river in the loop in Grayson County, Virginia; including all the territory in Carroll and Patrick Counties, Virginia, south of the crest of the Blue Ridge, and west of the Dan River. (Discipline, 1948, ¶ 1957) This territory is identical with that of the Western North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, South. All three branches of Methodism forming The Methodist Church were included in this new conference. From the Blue Ridge-Atlantic Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church came 39 ministers and 11,901 church members. The North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Protestant Church contributed 74 ministers and 22,361 church members. The Western North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, South, added 377 ministers and 167,028 church members. This gave the new conference 490 members, with 28 others on trial, and 201,290 church members. The Blue Ridge-Atlantic Conference has held 62 sessions; the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, 112; and the Western North Carolina, 50 (see Journal, 1939, pp. 115, 169). The Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church was formed on June 5, 1968, by the merger of the Western North Carolina Conference and that portion of the North Carolina-Virginia Conference situated within the bounds of the Western North Carolina Conference (see Journal, 1968, p. 84). The North Carolina-Virginia Conference had been organized in Greensboro on Aug. 11, 1964, and, in addition to the organizational session, held four sessions prior to the 1968 merger. B.

MEMOIRS OF DECEASED CLERGY AND DIACONAL MINISTERS SHIRLEY MARGUERITE ALLCORN MAY 27, 1930 – MARCH 10, 2015 The Rev. Shirley Marguerite (Todd) Allcorn began her heavenly journey with the Lord on March 10, 2015, after living a full and spirit-filled life for 84 years. She was born May 27, 1930, in Pittsburgh, Pa. She was the oldest of two children of Frank and Edith Butler Todd. She was a loving wife for 58 years to the Rev. David Kuhl Allcorn and devoted mother to seven children: Ronald Clarence Allcorn, Doris Elizabeth Weir, Cathleen Marguerite Harbaugh, Ruth Diane Kapely, William Adam Allcorn, Rebecca Ann Evans, and Gloria Joy Allcorn. Their dedication was to raise their children in a Christian home surrounded by love, and in return received 17 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. After graduating high school, Shirley attended Indiana University, Shippensburg University, and Geneva College. She married David Allcorn on January 7, 1950, and could not have been better suited as the “pastor’s wife” when David shortly received the call to ministry and was appointed as a local pastor at Orbisonia Evangelical United Brethren Church in the coal-mining mountains of south-central Pennsylvania. Shirley and David returned to the Pittsburgh area after seven years in Orbisonia. They continued an interim ministry at the Immanuel Evangelical United Brethren Church, known as Immanuel United Methodist Church after a merger of denominations. Shortly after the interim position was undertaken, Salem EUB was added to the Immanuel Charge, and full-time ministry began in the impoverished North Side community of Pittsburgh. Over the course of 28 years, the struggling ministry at Immanuel became an Advance special mission under the Western Pennsylvania Conference and nationally under the General Board of Global Ministries. One building dedicated to worship became four buildings covering half a city block. This began with “Project Hole in the Wall,” where church members could donate money to take a sledge hammer to hit a hand-drawn picture of the devil to “open the new doorway.” There were programs to meet virtually all needs of the community, as well as guide recipients toward self-subsistence. 2015 journal 317 Shirley orchestrated a cupboard which provided clothing free, or at a reduced price, as well as a food cooperative offering perishable and non-perishable foods. She obtained clothing and food donations through speaking and singing engagements throughout Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Shirley participated in many programs at Immanuel United Methodist Church, such as Weight Watchers, a sewing club, a quilting club, and an afterschool program for children. The afterschool program also fed participants, and during the summer gave two meals a day to children from families unable to provide for their children. Shirley went beyond fulfilling the duties of a pastor’s wife. Visualizing a need for children to play in the area, she supervised the creation of a baseball field on an empty lot. Shirley found ways to get much-needed “transportation” vehicles for several churches so that “shut-ins” could come to church. Together, Shirley and David coordinated meeting spaces with Allegheny General Hospital and Allegheny County mental health and mentally handicapped agencies. Financial planning and education professionals were made available through Immanuel to address low-income and educational issues plaguing the North Side community and its residents. Shirley’s voice was God’s gift to all who would hear her sing. She played a vital role in the music ministry at Immanuel United Methodist Church. When Shirley sang alone, hairs would stand on end because of her heartwarming, deep-from-the-soul, angelic voice singing tributes and making joyful noise to her Lord and Savior – and with a sense of flair! In 1988, David and Shirley retired from Immanuel UMC and moved to Marion, N.C., to care for Shirley’s ailing parents. Shirley continued to be David’s right hand when he retired from the Western Pennsylvania Conference in 1989, and was appointed that same year to the Marion: Clinchfield-Concord charge in the Western North Carolina Conference. Beginning in 1988, Shirley served as the administrative assistant in the Marion District until 1995. After David became severely ill and could no longer share God’s Word, Shirley heard the Lord calling her to continue his ministry. In 2002, she became the Rev. Shirley Marguerite Allcorn, serving at Cross UMC in Marion until 2008. She warmed the hearts of many as she strived to grow an already beautiful congregation. Following Shirley’s death on March 10, 2015, a celebration of life service was conducted on March 13 at Concord United Methodist Church by Chester R. West, pastor, with interment in the church cemetery. Shirley’s life was marked by belief she shared with David: the impossible could be possible with faith, prayer, hard work, kindness, and love. Gloria Joy Allcorn WILLIAM ORMAND BIGHAM September 4, 1931 – March 29, 2015 The Rev. William O. Bigham, 83, a resident of Well-Spring Retirement Community, went to his heavenly home Sunday, March 29, 2015 with his loving family by his side. A celebration of life service was held Friday, April 3, 2015 at Tabernacle United Methodist Church, Greensboro, with the Rev. Dr. Mark Sills officiating. Bill was preceded in death by and now reunited with his wife Martha; his parents, James and Gladys Bigham; and children, James Alexander, David Reese, and Ana Connor Bigham. Carrying on his memory are his sons, Joseph Edward (Vera), Stephen Eury (Angie); daughter-in-law, Jacquelyn; eight grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren; in addition to his brother and two sisters-in-law. Bill was born Sept. 4, 1931 in Waxhaw, N.C., and as a child moved with his family to Greensboro where he graduated from Bessemer High School. Bill attended Brevard College, and in 1953 graduated with an Artium Baccalaureatus degree from High Point College, deciding to continue to Duke Divinity School where he earned his Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1956. Bill married Martha Ann Eury on August 20, 1955, a union that lasted through many years of love, laughter, sorrow and joy, and service to others. Bill faithfully served his Lord and Savior in the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church for over 35 years. During his ministry, he and his family were missionaries in Brazil from 1958-1969. Surrounding that time, he served: Mount Pleasant, 1955-56; Memorial (Kannapolis), 1969-72; in 1972-77, was the Director of The Greensboro Urban Ministry; Newlyn Street (Greensboro), 1978-82; First (Liberty), 1983-86; and finally, Liberty Grove-First (Liberty), 1986-93, retiring his position as a full-connection elder in 1993. Even after retirement Bill and his wife, Martha, continued to serve the church and local community. They served on numerous building mission trips to Mexico, worked tirelessly at Liberty Bargain Box, Randolph County Meals on Wheels, coordinated local CROP walks, were active in Bereaved Parents, and taught English to local Latin American residents. Bill has touched and impacted countless lives locally and abroad. During his last hours he spoke of his love for his family and his love of serving his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Bill lived a life reflective of the Apostle Paul, who in 2 Timothy 4:7 says, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.” The Bigham Family CARTER DENNIS BROWN JULY 22, 1944 – JANUARY 4, 2015 Dennis Brown went home to be with his Lord on January 4, 2015, after a brave journey through a rare form of Parkinson’s disease known as Progressive Supernuclear Palsy (PSP). Born July 22, 1944 in Leicester, N.C., to Godly parents, Carter and Christine Wilson Brown, Dennis grew up on a large farm, spending his after-school and summer hours helping his parents milk dairy cattle, tend the gardens, and drive the tractors. He loved the outdoors and maintained a large vegetable garden through his adult years. He also received the gift of musical talent from his mother, a gifted church pianist and organist who played by ear. Dennis sang in choirs and played both piano and organ, serving for many years as organist of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Asheville, N.C. After graduating from Leicester High School one year early due to his academic successes, Dennis briefly attended Mars Hill College (now Mars Hill University) before transferring to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He studied political science and education, graduating in 1965 with a Bachelor of Arts in education. He later completed a master’s degree in school administration at UNC-Chapel Hill, graduating in the summer of 1970, and an education specialist degree at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, N.C., graduating in 1987. 318 Western North Carolina Conference Dennis was an avid reader and history buff with a particular interest in U.S. presidential history. He could name all of the U.S. presidents and vice-presidents in order, a skill which served him well during his first job as an eighth-grade teacher at Oakley Elementary School in Asheville (1965-1971). After six years in the classroom, he became principal of West Buncombe Elementary School, serving this school of more than 700 children for 32 years. Upon his retirement from the state of North Carolina, Dennis had served a total of 38 years in the educational sector. During his time at Oakley Elementary, Dennis met his future wife, Linda Nix Brown, of Greer, S.C. They married June 4, 1967, and were together 47 years before his passing. They lived on the edge of the Brown family farm in Leicester during their years together. They have adult twin daughters, Kristi Ann Brown of Charlotte, N.C., and Dr. Lori Brown of Candler, N.C. The daughters were an early Christmas gift, born December 21, 1971. After growing up in the Methodist church at Grace United Methodist in Leicester, Dennis, Linda and the girls remained active members of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, where Dennis served as a deacon, Sunday school teacher, and committee member. After 38 years working in the public schools, Dennis retired and began a new journey as a lay Methodist minister at Little Sandy United Methodist Church in Leicester. He served faithfully from 2005 to 2010. During his time at Little Sandy, Brown remained active in the Western North Carolina Conference, attending trainings, meetings, etc. Dennis Brown’s life is a testimony to seven decades of selfless home-, school-, church-, and community-based service and leadership. Lori Brown RUSSELL NETTLES BURSON JR. OCTOBER 3, 1929 – APRIL 29, 2015 On October 3, 1929, in Selma, Ala., Russell Nettles Burson Jr.’s earthly life began, the son of the late Russell Nettles and Margaret Beveridge Burson. At an early age, he joined Church Street Methodist Episcopal Church South, where his parents were members. He graduated from Albert G. Parrish High School in 1948 and enrolled as a pre-law student at Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn University as of 1960). He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1952. Inspired by a group of local church members with whom he had become close friends, he answered a call to ministry and was licensed to preach in 1949. He earned his Bachelor of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University in 1955. Meanwhile, in Auburn, he met Margaret Cromwell Wade, a classmate from Prattville, Ala. The two fell in love and married on September 16, 1951, at the beginning of his senior year. In his journey of ministry, Russell was received on trial in the Alabama-West Florida Conference in 1953. While a student, Russell served a church in Kentucky, being appointed in 1954 to Bethel (Russellville). In 1954, he was ordained as a deacon and in 1955 as an elder, received in full connection in the Louisville Conference. He transferred to the Western North Carolina Conference on September 28, 1955; marking his first WNCC appointment: Jonesville in the Winston-Salem District. He and Margaret soon celebrated the birth of their first child, John Wade, born November 30, 1955. Their family continued to grow with the birth of their daughter, Catherine Dansby in 1957, followed by their second son, Martin Strickland in 1963. Russell was appointed to Cold Springs in the Salisbury District, 1959, and in 1960, First (Charlotte), as associate pastor. Other appointments included First (Conover), 1963-1967; Milford Hills (Salisbury), 1967-1969; Spruce Pine, 1969-1973; Cullowhee, 1973-1976; and Skyland, 1976, until he began sabbatical leave in 1981. Worship was a primary emphasis in his faithful ministry, and “dignity in worship” was the benchmark of his leadership in building projects within his churches. Designing a new church at Jonesville; re-designing the Milford Hills’ sanctuary; designing and construction of Conover’s new building; Russell also provided guidance in raising an education wing at Skyland. Church music, particularly in the context of worship services, was another of his favorite interests. Also noteworthy was the importance he placed on leading congregations toward reaching out in the community to people in need of special help. After an early retirement in 1982, Russell and Margaret purchased Hallcrest Inn in Waynesville, which they operated until 1992. While the inn was not an official ministry assignment, they counted it as a real ministry, as it offered a peaceful, restorative, and enjoyable haven for their guests. Until physically unable to attend, Russell was present at annual conference sessions, usually sitting at or near the front, where he was enriched by the worship services, engaged in the business affairs, and energized by personal encounters with conference members. At one time, he chaired the Rules Committee, and he served on the conference’s Board of Missions and the Committee on Communication. He was also a member of a special committee dealing with conference restructuring. Russell enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Throughout his ministry and retirement years, he loved opportunities for personal conversations with the people with whom he came in contact. He was an active member of the Waynesville Kiwanis Club, serving one term as the club’s president. He delivered “Meals on Wheels” for a number of years. He was a prolific reader, usually starting his day reading the newspaper and working the crossword puzzle. When it came time for vacations, he loved camping with his family. After a courageous struggle with persistent, lengthy illness, the Rev. Russell Nettles Burson Jr., 85, began his heavenly life at his home on Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Family members surrounded his bedside, enabling him to connect, however briefly, with each of them, joining in quiet singing together in the end. A memorial service was held at First United Methodist Church of Waynesville on May 2, 2015, with the Rev. Sanford L. Giles officiating. Remaining to celebrate and cherish his memory are his wife, Margaret; his children, John and husband Ken Wall, Catherine B. Mitchell and husband David, and Martin and wife Teresa; grandchildren, Michael R. Burson (Hayley), Lora A. Mitchell, and Elizabeth M. Burson; and his brothers, Bruce B. Burson (Jeanne) and Stuart A. Burson (Shirley). Kenneth A. Horn 2015 journal 319 JAMES JOEL CARTER OCTOBER 11, 1947 – DECEMBER 1, 2014 James Joel Carter was born October 11, 1947, in Asheville, N.C. to Fred James Carter and Mary Jo Carter. He died peacefully in his home December 1, 2014, of severe and chronic complications stemming from a bone marrow transplant he received in 1999. By his side were his daughters, Heather Cheri and Kelly Rhea, and the love of his life, Angela Stein. Joel grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina. After graduating from Enka High School, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1969, a Master of Divinity degree at Duke University in 1972. Joel ministered through the Western NC Conference for 20 years, beginning as a student pastor in Asheville, and moving to the West Macon Charge in 1973, under which appointment he was ordained as an elder in 1974, continuing until 1981. He then served Central (Denton), 1981-1985; Crews (Winston-Salem), 1985-1986; and Green Street (Winston-Salem), 1987-1991; at which point Joel fulfilled his childhood dream of moving to Alaska, retiring from the Western NC Conference. While in Alaska, he worked in the mental health field as a licensed professional counselor until 2007. In his retirement, Joel thoroughly enjoyed time on the golf course with his friends. He was an avid reader and always made sure that he had a discussion group to meet with. Every year he would visit North Carolina to reconnect with family, friends and the cabin he built in the mountains. He felt God’s presence in nature and so he lived in yurts, surrounded by Alaska’s nature, including three pet pygmy goats and two huskies. Joel’s passions led him to continuous community service, such as active membership in The Alaska Center for the Environment. He was instrumental in founding a local PFLAG chapter and a teen runaway shelter. He cofounded Dayspring Retreat Center and served as a Hospice volunteer. He has touched many lives and is greatly missed. Heather Carter, Kelly Carter, and Angela Stein WILLIAM DANIEL CLODFELTER NOVEMBER 3, 1933 – JANUARY 9, 2015 The Rev. William Daniel Clodfelter left this earthly life on Friday, January 9, 2015, at the age of 81, following several years of declining health. Born on November 3, 1933, in Davidson County, N.C., he was the only child of the late William Alpheus and Barbara Ethel Conrad Clodfelter and was a member of Fairview United Methodist Church in Thomasville. He served in the U.S. Army where he received a Good Conduct Medal and an Occupation-Germany Ribbon. He married the former Charlotte Waye Uldrick on November 10, 1950. Both of them were only 17 years old. They were the proud parents of daughter Melodie Waye Welborn, born June 27, 1956 (Ed); son William Daniel Clodfelter Jr., born September 5, 1958 (Brenda Moore); and the proud grandparents of Jesse Welborn (Laura) and Rebecca Welborn, all of whom he loved dearly. Before answering his call to preach, the Rev. Clodfelter was in sales. After a period of deep soul-searching and a lengthy conversation with the late Rev. Furman Wright, he entered the ministry in 1962. The Rev. Clodfelter received his bachelor’s degree from Western Carolina University in 1966, and was ordained a deacon in 1967. He earned his Master of Divinity degree from Duke University in 1970 and was ordained an elder and admitted into full connection that same year. He went on to serve a number of churches in the Western North Carolina and the North Carolina conferences. During his ministerial career, he served student minister appointments at North Davidson Methodist Church, Thomasville, 1962-1964, and the Sylva Circuit, Waynesville, 1964-1966. From 1966-1970 while attending Duke University, the Rev. Clodfelter served as a student pastor at Trinity Methodist Church, Louisburg, in the North Carolina Conference. At this point in his career, there was a desperate need for an Alcoholics Anonymous group in Franklin County. The Rev. Clodfelter began the first and only one at the time in that county. He also worked at the Murdoch Center for profoundly developmentally-challenged people. On occasion, he took his young daughter with him, which resulted in a seed being planted deep within her that eventually placed her in a career of teaching challenged students. After graduating from Duke, he returned to the Western NC Conference where he was appointed as associate minister, with a youth emphasis, at North Wilkesboro Methodist Church, North Wilkesboro, 1970-1972. He began his full-time ministry and served as the minister of Bryson City UMC, Waynesville, 1972-1977; Mount Mitchell UMC, Salisbury, 1977-1979; Mount Carmel UMC, Winston-Salem, 1980-1983; Lee’s Chapel UMC, Greensboro, 1983-1987; Trinity UMC, Asheville, 1987-1992; Moriah UMC, Greensboro, 1992-1993; and Drexel UMC, Drexel, 1993-1997. The Rev. Clodfelter retired from full-time ministry in 1997 and served Clark’s Chapel, Weaverville, 1997-2003. Deeply committed to the call to ministry, the Rev. Clodfelter took his vacation time to lead groups all over the world including 10 trips to the Holy Land where he studied under Dr. Jim Fleming on three occasions. He leaves behind a legacy of many high ideals – class, integrity, grace, humanity. He always treated everyone as equally important. He loved and was loved by his congregations and always left each appointment better than he found it. However, if you asked him of what accomplishment in his ministry he was the most proud, he would tell you that it was the opportunity to mentor seven ministerial candidates throughout their calling and ordination process. One of these was most special – the Rev. Robert Fuquay – who traveled from Indiana to be a eulogist at his mentor’s funeral service. Upon retirement, the Rev. and Mrs. Clodfelter returned to their beloved mountains of western North Carolina to a home they had built in Asheville 11 years before. A funeral service was held January 13, 2015, at Trinity United Methodist Church in Asheville, of which Clodfelter was a former pastor and where he assisted in many capacities during his retirement years. Interment with military honors followed at Green Hills Cemetery, also in Asheville. Without a doubt, the Rev. Clodfelter made a positive difference in the lives of all who knew him and much admiration is due this man who crossed the path of many. His light will forever shine. Jennie Lynn Krichbaum 320 Western North Carolina Conference FRANCIS BEAURY COOK MAY 15, 1927 – OCTOBER 22, 2014 The Rev. Frank B. Cook was called home to his eternal rest on October 22, 2014. At the time, he was a patient at Agapé Hospice in Columbia, S.C. Frank was the only child of Dr. Frank B. Cook Sr. and Oenone Allen Cook. Frank’s early childhood was spent in Andalusia, Ala., and was molded by a series of small-town, Depression-era events – events paralleling those so movingly chronicled by his contemporary, Harper Lee of nearby Monroeville, Ala. Frank’s mother was his biggest supporter and confidante throughout her earthly years. She was later joined by his own family, as well as Frank’s ministerial mentors: (chronologically) the Rev. Dr. Howard Powell, the Rev. Glenn Lackey, and Bishop Earl Hunt Jr. After graduating from Auburn High School in 1944, Frank boarded a train for Nashville, Tenn., and pursued his Artium Baccalaureatus degree at Vanderbilt University, which he received in 1947. From there, he followed his calling by enrolling at Duke University Divinity School, where he completed the requirements for his Master of Divinity degree in 1950. Before his final year at Duke, Frank was admitted to the Western North Carolina Conference. Upon graduation, he was appointed to the Warrensville Charge, where he served from 1950 to 1954. Subsequent appointments were: Robbinsville (Waynesville District), 1954-58; Trinity, WinstonSalem, 1958-62; Tryon (Asheville District) 1962-64, and the Tryon-Columbus Charge, 1964-66; Jamestown (High Point District) 1966-69; First, Rutherfordton,1969-73; Leaksville, Eden, 1973-77; Central, Mt. Airy, 1977-81; Maple Springs, Winston-Salem, 1981-85; and First, Lincolnton, 1985-89, retiring full-time service in 1989. A celebration of life service was held on Saturday, October 25, 2014, after which Frank was interred at Sharon Memorial Park, Charlotte, N.C. He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Jess Norman Cook; his daughter, the Rev. Evelyn Cook Middleton (Scott); his son, Allen Cook (Amy); and grandchildren Greg and Sara Middleton. He was preceded in death by Sara Reed Cook. Frank would want to be remembered as an imperfect man who loved and respected his calling, his family, his community, and his Savior, and as someone who shared and enjoyed sharing the community of the gospel. Allen Cook JOSEPH CHARLES DANIELS SR. AUGUST 28, 1926 – NOVEMBER 24, 2014 The Rev. Joseph Charles Daniels Sr., 88, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 24, 2014. The Rev. Daniels was born on Howard Street in Greensboro, N.C., on August 28, 1926, to William C. and Ethel S. Daniels. He was raised in Charlotte, N.C., and graduated from Thomasboro High School in 1943. He attended Mars Hill College for one year and then joined the U.S. Navy. The Rev. Daniels served as a bugler and sonar man on the destroyer escort DE-221. He was specially selected for this station because of his keen sense of pitch. At the end of World War II, the Rev. Daniels returned to Mars Hill to complete his associate’s degree in engineering. It was in the Mars Hill College Marching Band that he met his future wife, Della Rae Woodle Daniels, from Conway, S.C. Having married in 1947, the Rev. and Mrs. Daniels were married for 62 years before her death in 2009. The Rev. Daniels was employed first as a nurseryman, and then with the City of Charlotte for several years before taking a position with J.A. Jones Construction Company. He was sent to Greenland to build an air strip, and while there, served as Sunday school teacher and decided to enter the ministry. He attended Pfeiffer College in Misenheimer, N.C., completing his Bachelor of Arts degree in English, graduating first in his class in 1960. He received his Master of Divinity degree in 1963 at Duke University. While a student at Duke, he served First Methodist Church in Landis, and then a three-church charge in the Alamance County. He was the only divinity student assigned a pastorate as a first-year student, and he was chosen from students and faculty alike to preach at convocation. After graduating from Duke, the Rev. Daniels served in the Western NC Conference: Roberta (Harrisburg) 1963-67, Calvary (Asheboro) 196774, Montlieu Avenue (High Point) 1974-76, Central (Shelby) 1976-80, Faith (Gastonia) 1980-83, St. Timothy (Brevard) 1983-85, and Westview (Hickory) 1985-90. While at Calvary in Asheboro, the Rev. Daniels was president of the Asheboro Ministerial Association and was a major in the Civil Air Patrol. At Roberta, Calvary, Central, and Westview, he was minister of music in addition to pastor. He retired in 1990 from active ministry. He and Mrs. Daniels moved to Conway, S.C., and served as volunteers in mission to Medan, Indonesia, making their last trip in February 2009. While serving in Indonesia, the Rev. Daniels ministered to the congregation of Wesley Methodist Church in Medan, and he and Mrs. Daniels established 12 new churches on the island of Nias, Indonesia. The Rev. Daniels is survived by his children, Della Daniels Raines and husband Larry, Joseph C. Daniels Jr. and wife Monica, and Janet Daniels Lawrence and husband Tim; six grandchildren, Gregory Raines and Jennifer, Christopher Raines and Jessica, John Case and Ashlee, Jane Brooks and Greg, Christian Daniels, and Leanne Daniels; and six great-grandchildren, Austin, Aiden, Adam, Charlotte, Elias, and Adrianna; along with many members of his extended family and close personal friends. He baptized all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and confirmed his grandchildren into church membership. A service celebrating the Rev. Daniels’ life was held at First UMC, Conway, where he had been a member and Sunday school teacher since retirement, as well as at Wesley Methodist Church in Medan, Indonesia. The Rev. Daniels was a faithful and passionate child of God and a true mentor to our family and friends! We proudly remember his legacy of service. Janet Daniels Lawrence 2015 journal 321 SARAH LOU REYNOLDS DIXON NOVEMBER 26, 1933 – MARCH 25, 2014 Sarah Lou Reynolds Dixon departed this life on March 25, 2014, at Arbor Acres retirement home in Winston-Salem after a brave, seven-year fight with cancer. Born to William Mock Reynolds and Sarah Frances Alexander on November 26, 1933, Sarah Lou graduated from R.J. Reynolds High School, well known as a lead majorette. She was named Miss Winston-Salem and placed fifth in the Miss North Carolina pageant. She was an accomplished artist, teacher, and diaconal minister in The United Methodist Church, whose legacy of love and creative spirit continues to inspire family, friends, and her many students. After marrying Robert Kirkman Dixon and raising two sons, Kirk and Kent, Sarah returned to school, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree from Salem College in 1985, and in 1988, she received a Master of Religious Education degree from Duke Divinity School. She was a gifted writer, sculptor, and visual artist, whose award-winning work spanned decades and appeared in many prominent galleries. Generous with her time and talent, she taught and tutored art in many settings, including classes for Forsyth Tech, prisons, and at-risk youth with Step One. Her involvement with Step One Substance Abuse Services extended beyond teaching art, and was an extension of her diaconal ministry with the Western NC Conference from 1992 to 1996. Previously, she served as a director of Christian education at Maple Springs in Winston-Salem and retired in 1997. Sarah had many interests, including membership with AAWS and SECCA, and she was a docent at Reynolda House Museum. In her later years, she traveled extensively and served as a missionary to impoverished and dangerous locations in the United States and Eastern Europe. An open memorial service was held at Arbor Acres on April 26, followed by a reception and viewing of her artwork in the gallery. She is survived by her sons, Robert Kirkman Dixon Jr. (Lynn) and Kent Reynolds Dixon (Lisa), and five grandchildren, Megan, Morgan, Nikki, Ryan, and William. Known for her courage and fearless individuality, she was a thoughtful and caring friend, and a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She took her teaching seriously. She wouldn’t let her students accept mediocrity and always encouraged improvement and growth. The words, “I can’t,” were not allowed in her classes. Sarah was a great role model and often showed how proud she was of her students. Her warm, beautiful spirit will continue to brighten many lives. Compiled by WNCC Staff RAYMOND OSCAR ENDICOTT FEBRUARY 16, 1924 – MAY 7, 2015 A great soul entered this life on February 16, 1924! Raymond O. Endicott was born to Donna Condon and Oscar J. Endicott in Evansville, Ind., where he spent his early childhood. He was confirmed into full membership of the St. John’s Evangelical Protestant Church on March 21, 1937. After the early demise of his parents, Raymond came south to live in Leaksville (Eden), N.C., with his aunt, Pansy Condon McIntosh, and her husband, Mac. There he joined the Leaksville Methodist Youth Fellowship. A robust youth, Raymond excelled in all sports and graduated from the Leaksville High School in 1942. Raymond answered the call of his country, serving six years in the U.S. Navy in World War II, as a radioman and aerial gunner in Douglas Dive Bomber SDB-3’s and torpedo planes. He participated in many naval air and sea engagements and campaigns in the European-African (Northwest Africa and Algeria-Morocco) and Asiatic-Pacific theaters. He was awarded the Navy Distinguished Flying Cross, the Navy Air Medal with two gold stars, the European-African-Middle Eastern- and Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medals, the Aircrew Badge “Wings” with three stars, the Navy Good Conduct Ribbon, and other citations and campaign clasps. He was honorably discharged in January 1947. While on leave in 1944, Raymond married his high school sweetheart, Iva Louise Campbell, on December 22. She was in her senior year at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, training for her teaching career in the Eden City Schools. Their daughter, Donna Lee, was born in October 1946, and their son, David Carlisle in September 1950. Raymond returned home to Eden after his service and embarked on a 41-year career with Fieldcrest Cannon, eventually rising to division vice-president of Industrial Engineering, Traffic, and Distribution. He retired in 1988, but continued to consult on special projects. But early in his career, his churchmanship and enthusiasm came to the attention of Dr. J. Clay Madison and Bishop Nolan B. Harmon. With their encouragement and tutelage, Ray entered the Course of Study, was licensed to preach in January 1960, and was ordained deacon in 1963. Before and during this time, he served as a lay preacher for two years at the Eagle Falls Methodist Church and two years at the Meadow View Methodist Church before an official appointment through the Western NC Conference to Meadow View from 1960-1966. He was appointed associate pastor of Leaksville (Eden) from 1970-1973, and again 1976-77. Raymond was a life-long athlete, rising before the sun to swim or play tennis. He was active in many service clubs and organizations, and was a member of Leaksville UMC for many years. He was a Master Mason, a Shriner, and was also a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International. Raymond was “all in” for life, never doing anything half way. In June 1994, he and Iva “retired” to the Givens Estates in Asheville. In Asheville, his services included volunteering in the Chaplain’s Program at the Asheville VA Medical Center; and in the Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministries (ABCCM), he served as a counselor, assisted with food preparations in the Feeding Program, and aided the Medical Ministry. He served four years in the Senior Tar Heel Legislature in Raleigh. In 1999, he received the Kathleen Godwin Cole Award as Outstanding Older Adult Volunteer, presented by the Land-Of-Sky Regional Council Area Agency on Aging. Raymond served as treasurer and president of the Givens Estates Resident Council, and on the Givens Estates Board of Directors. He was a member of Central United Methodist Church and a Sunday school teacher of the Covenant Class. In December 2014, Raymond and Iva celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary, along with their children, Donna, and her husband, William Hailey, and David, a Commander in the U.S. Navy, now retired. Their grandchildren include Jennifer (Andy Strader), Scott Shively, Sara (John Smith), Leslie (Dr. Thomas Salinas), Allison Endicott, and Kate Thomsen. Great-grandchildren are Bethany, Alexandra, and Andrew Strader; Felicity and Ethan Smith; David and Charlotte Salinas; Campbell Endicott; and Julia Thomsen. 322 Western North Carolina Conference Raymond died May 7, 2015 at John F. Keever Jr., Solace Center in Asheville. A memorial service was held at Givens Estates, on May 16, 2015 in the Norma F. Pulliam Chapel. His graveside memorial and interment service at Lawson Cemetery, Eden, N.C. on May 30, 2015. Raymond’s life will stand as a testimony to living life to the fullest, serving God and God’s children faithfully all of our days! Ed Hillman and the Endicott Family FRED FALLS JR. MARCH 26, 1937 – JULY 28, 2014 The Rev. Fred Falls Jr., 77, was placed into the arms of God and reunited with the love of his life, Derice, on July 28, 2014. He was surrounded and cared for by his son and daughter during his illness and death. Fred was born on March 26, 1937, in Kings Mountain, N.C., to the late Fred Falls Sr. and Lula Martin Falls. He was a 1960 graduate of Pfeiffer University and then graduated from Duke University Divinity School. Fred was much more than a minister to so many. He was never afraid to become deeply involved in a person’s life and had the rare gift of being able to meet people where they were to spread the love of Christ. Many can never repay what Fred did for them, but he would never want them to feel indebted. He was truly a special man of God. His sense of humor, his laugh, his love, and his ministry are greatly missed. During his more than 45-year tenure in ministry, he and his wife, Derice, served churches in Fayetteville, Garner, Hamlet, Burlington (Front Street), Raleigh (Edenton Street), Gastonia (First United Methodist Church), and Crouse (Crouse United Methodist and Pleasant Grove). While in Gastonia at First UMC, he was instrumental in building the current Family Life Center. Falls served on numerous committees and boards within the Western North Carolina and North Carolina conferences of The United Methodist Church. Falls enjoyed playing golf, but more than that, he enjoyed the relationships formed through the sport. In addition to his parents, Falls was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Margie “Derice” Weir Falls. He is survived by a son, Christopher Brian Falls; a daughter and son-in-law, Theresa and Mark McIntosh; granddaughters Hope and Holly McIntosh; sister-in-law and husband, Marlene and Art Allen; numerous nieces and nephews; and special friends, the No No’s Supper Club. A Celebration of Life service was held on Thursday, July 31, 2014, at First United Methodist Church in Gastonia, conducted by the Rev. Jim Westmoreland and the Rev. David Christy. As Fred’s son-in-law, I was privileged to have him as a role model. There is no way to express the impact he had in the lives of others. I watched as he befriended so many, but more than that, as he made a huge difference in people’s lives. Fred never shied away from putting his faith and ministry into action. He even went so far as to “adopt” a neighboring family, helped them learn English, helped them find jobs, helped put them through school, and helped them become U.S. citizens. His involvement with this family has to be the most shining example of being the body of Christ I have ever witnessed. He spent much of his time being a devoted husband to Derice, caring for her, and being there for her when she needed him. He was a loving father to Theresa and Chris, and a wonderful grandfather to Hope and Holly. We dearly miss him from our lives. Yet, he is not gone because he still lives in our hearts and in the hearts of all who were privileged to know him. Thanks be to God for sharing His servant with us. Mark McIntosh DONALD LAGARY FISHER OCTOBER 29, 1923 – NOVEMBER 22, 2014 The Rev. Donald Lagary Fisher of Iron Station, N.C., was called to his eternal home on November 22, 2014, after a brief stay at the Levine-Dickison Hospice House in Huntersville, N.C. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Mary Cloninger Fisher, grandson Chris Dockins, three brothers, and four sisters, in addition to his parents. A funeral was held November 25, 2014, at Asbury United Methodist Church in Lincolnton, where he had been honored as a minister emeritus. The Rev. Keys Pendleton, the Rev. Hubert Clinard, the Rev. Jackie H. Taylor, and the Rev. Anita Sain officiated. Burial followed in the church cemetery. Donald Lagary was born October 29, 1923 in Iron Station to the late Joel A. and Cora Hendricks Fisher. The Rev. Fisher graduated from Rock Springs High School in Denver, N.C., afterwards working in the textile industry, where he met Mary Cloninger. On September 9, 1944, they began a marriage that was blessed with four children, Barbara Anne Dockins, Rebecca F. Pendleton, David W. Fisher, and Joy F. Andrews. They also enjoyed nine grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. After Mary passed away in 1997, the Rev. Fisher renewed an old friendship with Kathleen Goodson, and they were married October 1, 2000. Shortly after his marriage to Mary, the Rev. Fisher was called to serve in the U.S. Army. He proudly served in Germany and Europe during World War II. It was during this time that the Rev. Fisher first felt the call to the ministry. He received his license to preach on April 9, 1951, at Boger City Methodist Church in Lincolnton. In preparation for his ministry, the Rev. Fisher graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne College in 1955 and continued his education with the Course of Studies at Duke University. He was ordained as a deacon in the Western North Carolina Conference in 1957 and as an elder in 1959. The Rev. Fisher’s first appointment was a student to Martin Street in Shelby, 1951-1952. He continued his ministry, serving these appointments: Vale, 1952-1954; Concord-Mary’s Grove, 1954-1958; West Forsyth, 1958-1959; Mount Pleasant-Tabernacle, 1959-1962; Level Cross, 1962-1968; Lawndale-Double Shoals, 1968-1972; Asbury, 1972-1977; Fairview, 1977-1982; Mount Pleasant, 1982-1984; and Thrift, 1984-1988. The Rev. Fisher retired from 38 years of active ministry in 1988, but later returned to the pulpit to serve Mary’s Grove for a short time in 2000-2001. Donald was born on a farm and never lost his love of rural life. This influenced his longtime participation in the United Methodist Rural Fellowship. Some of his happiest times were spent on a tractor or working to restore his childhood home. He felt that the rebirth of spring was symbolic of the rebirth in God’s Love. One of the most important aspects of the Rev. Fisher’s ministry was his ever-present smile and his engaging personality. Through his love and caring, he was able the share the Good News. David W. Fisher 2015 journal 323 JAMES CHALMUS GROSE JR. APRIL 12, 1930 – APRIL 22, 2015 The Rev. Dr. James Chalmus “J.C.” Grose Jr., 85, of Lake Junaluska, N.C., passed away on Wednesday, April 22, 2015, at The Homestead (Hospice of Haywood County). A native of Belmont, N.C., he was the son of the late James Chalmus and Ethel Robinson Grose. His mother called him their “little preacher boy.” J.C.’s life forever changed at age 16, when he attended a retreat at Lake Junaluska. He felt the call to ministry, and never looked back, delivering his first sermon at age 17. After receiving undergraduate degrees from Brevard and High Point colleges, J.C. received his Bachelor of Divinity degree from Duke University in 1956, and went on to earn his Doctorate of Ministry at Drew University in 1983. From the first, he was compassionate, generous, loving, and a caring pastor, a true servant of God, even beyond the members of his church. Licensed to preach in the Western NC Conference in 1948, J.C. was ordained as a deacon in 1955, and as an elder in 1956. His appointments included Sherwood, 1951-56; Oakley (Asheville), in 1956; Stokesdale-Glencoe, 1956-58; Stokesdale, 1958-62; Mt. Pleasant, 1962-67; Stanley, 1967-73; Main Street (Kernersville), 1973-81; Guilford College, 1981-89; and First (Asheboro), 1989-96. He retired in 1996, yet took on additional posts in his retirement, including: the Crabtree-Davis Chapel charge in 1997; Davis Chapel, 1998-99; Davis Chapel-Fines Creek, 1999-2001; Bethel (Haywood County), 2003-2008, and again in 2012, until his passing. A great communicator, J.C. was responsible for getting the North Carolina and Western North Carolina Conferences’ happenings into the newspapers and The Christian Advocate. Between 1978 and 1994, he submitted conference articles to The Bridge. In 1991, he received a certificate of appreciation for extraordinary accomplishments in Christian communication. In 1994, he received the John Louis Borchert Communication Award for outstanding efforts in spreading written Christian truth. J.C. was a devoted son, a good husband, a great father. He taught about Jesus, and he showed Jesus by the life he lived. Those he served would hear his old Ford and say, “The preacher’s here! Make him a place on the sofa! Get him a Pepsi!” J.C. shared God’s amazing love, a generous love which kept going over the course of his 63 years in ministry. He would do just about anything for those he served. When transporting a sick man to Duke University Hospital and finding the door locked, J.C. politely climbed in a window. In the last hours of a former parishioner, the father of a current church member, J.C. drove three hours to be with the family, joining in a circle around his bed, helping each of them as this friend drew his last breath. While recovering himself in 2014 at Brian Center in Winston-Salem, J.C. preached on Easter Sunday – from his wheel chair. This beloved man was the “fun” minister, playing, joking, and showing that a minister could be as down-to-earth as his church members. During one Sunday at Stokesdale, when the teenage boys were sitting in the back of the sanctuary, playing around loudly during his sermon, J.C. stopped preaching, waited for them to realize only they were talking, then made them march down the center aisle to sit in the front pews. Needless to say, they learned how to act in church that day! Also at Stokesdale, he initiated a Sunday when the youth led an entire worship service, including a talk on “How to Be a Teenager and A Christian.” Though she was terrified, J.C. gave young Nancy the confidence to stand proud and share her belief. Even a preacher of the Word might become fearful when waiting to pass between worlds. When J.C. could no longer speak, he gestured, and received words of assurance from his family that he could cross without fear. At 5:10 a.m. on April 22, J.C. cast aside his pain and suffering for a pain-free life of joy in Eternal Glory, joining his daughter Jennifer who preceded him in death. He was laid to rest April 25, 2015 at Main Street UMC in Kernersville by the Rev. Dr. Terry Matthews and the Rev. Claude Kayler, the latter of whom presented to Methodist Clergy Medallion to Ann during the graveside service. The Rev. Dr. Grose is survived by his wife of 59 years, Ann Hicks Grose; two sons, James C. Grose III and his wife Xinia, and Joseph Stanley Grose; two sisters, Reita Cockrell and Mary Bobis; and several nieces and nephews. His favorite hymn was “My Times Are in Thy Hands,” based on Psalm 31 and written by William F. Lloyd in 1824: “My times are in Thy hand, “Jesus, the Crucified! “Those hands my cruel sins had pierced “Are now my guard and guide.” He shepherded thousands of parishioners with a grace and peace which passes our understanding. How do you say “thank you” to a man like this? He was a gentle soul, showed his care and love, and a sense of peace came over those with whom he spoke. J.C., we thank God for the privilege of knowing you! Joseph Stanley Grose, Ann Grose, and Nancy P. Vanstory GENE EDWIN GRUBB JANUARY 5, 1941 – JULY 11, 2014 Gene Edwin Grubb was cured of all bodily ailments on July 11, 2014, when he was called home by the Master Healer. Born on January 5, 1941, in the family’s home in Todd, N.C. to Lloyd Winford Grubb and Ola Victoria Houck Grubb, Gene’s family included five brothers and sisters: Gwyn Grubb, Gelene Ham, George Grubb, Gloria Walters, and Glenda Binkley. Gene’s education began at Mill Creek Elementary School in Todd when he was six years old, attending through fifth grade, at 10 years old. He then attended Elkland School, also in Todd, through the eighth grade. Gene attended Beaver Creek High School in West Jefferson, N.C., beginning in the ninth grade, graduating at age 17. Gene lived up the road from Zion Methodist Church where his family attended, joining in 1953. Prior to being called to the ministry, Gene worked as a carpenter. He loved working with his hands and loved building. Gene was called to be a minister and licensed in 1983. He attended Duke University, becoming a deacon in 1994. Gene began his ministry in the Creston/Green Valley Charge, where he served from 1984-1991. He was then appointed to the Alleghany/Grayson Charge, 1991-1999. Gene became disabled in 1999, but continued to fill in as needed at his home church, Zion United Methodist, as his health would allow. 324 Western North Carolina Conference Gene loved his parishioners. One story that he often told concerned an elderly member of his church. She was very ill and would often call him to her bedside with one request – for Gene to pray for the Lord to take her home. He became so burdened by her request that he began a prayer chain, asking for others to begin to pray for the Lord to take her home. He was so touched by her love of the Lord and the fact that she longed to be with Him. He continually shared that we should all feel that way. We should all attain a love of the Lord Jesus Christ so fierce that it would be our hearts’ desire to be with Him forever and wait anxiously for His return. Gene’s disabilities in his later years hindered him doing some of the things he enjoyed. He loved going to auctions, constructing, collecting, and fishing. Though weak in body, he would visit elderly neighbors, teach Sunday school, and help others as he could. He would even take people into his home and help them until they could get back on their feet. Gene was admitted to Ashe Memorial Hospital on the morning of July 10, 2014, where doctors determined he had suffered a stroke, but felt he would recover completely. That night, he became unresponsive, and his family was called to the hospital. He had suffered an abdominal aortic aneurism. He was taken to be with the Lord at age 73, on July 11, 2014, 3:19 a.m. I have known Gene since I was a child. He has been a family friend for many years. Gene loved the Lord and was always ready and willing to assist others in need. I feel sure that he is walking with Jesus right now. Perhaps they are discussing carpentry or how Noah built the ark, but I’m sure of one thing, he is waiting for his friends and loved ones to come home. Vickie Moore JAMES ROBERT HAMILTON OCTOBER 1, 1926 – NOVEMBER 6, 2014 The Rev. James “Jim” Robert Hamilton’s life began miraculously in New Bern, N.C., on October 1, 1926, when he was born 12 weeks premature and nursed to health by his soon-to-be adoptive mother and father, the Rev. Guy and Bertie May Hamilton. Guy and Bertie built a home at Lake Junaluska when James was very young, and it was there that his faith and calling to ministry began to take shape. Jim and Bertie lived at the lake while Guy continued to serve in the North Carolina Conference until his death in 1951. Jim had an interesting life and began his career as a photographer when he took over the photography store that was once housed at Lake Junaluska. After graduating from Brevard College with an associate’s degree in 1947 and obtaining an Artium Baccalaureatus degree at High Point College in 1949, he continued to pursue photography, contributing to two local newspapers, The Canton Enterprise and The Mountaineer, as a photographer and lithographer. Jim would go on to sell life insurance and served as the vice-president of Cecil’s Business College in Asheville. He met his wife, Mary (also a “pastor’s kid”), at Lake Junaluska, where they were married in August 1954. After the birth of their children, Elizabeth May Medlin, Roberta June Bost, Laura Lynne Palmer, and Susan Speight Hamilton, Jim continued to wrestle with the call to parish ministry. In 1971 he entered Emory University and went on to receive his Master of Divinity degree from Candler School of Theology in 1974. James was licensed to preach in 1972 and served the Whittier Circuit while a student at Emory. He was admitted to the Western North Carolina Conference as a deacon in 1973 and admitted as an elder in 1976. Over the course of his ministry, James faithfully served the Whittier Circuit, 1972-1974; Peachland (Albemarle,) 1974-1977; Old Fort-Ebenezer, 1977 to December 31, 1979; Mount Mitchell, January 1, 1980-1982; Lincoln Circuit, 1982-1987; Emma-Green Memorial, 1987-1990; and Pleasant Hill, 1990-1992. Upon retirement in 1992, Jim and Mary moved back to their home at Lake Junaluska, He continued to serve the church as a Sunday school teacher at Clyde Central UMC until failing health no longer permitted his active participation. Jim’s love for the church never wavered, and he always enjoyed visits on his front porch or singing with the shut-in singers. Jim didn’t need a hymnal; he knew the words of our faith by heart. His favorite verse from “Amazing Grace” was one that summed up his life – from his unlikely survival as a premature baby in the 1920s to his death 88 years later. That third verse reads: “Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; ‘tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.” In addition to his father and mother, Jim was preceded in death by his wife of 49 years, Mary Moore Hamilton, who passed away on September 17, 2003. After a period of declining health, Jim was called home to be with the Lord on November 6, 2014, at Homestead Hospice in Clyde, N.C. He is survived by his daughters, four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Funeral services were held on Sunday, November 9, in the Memorial Chapel at Lake Junaluska. The Rev. Daniel Gaddy and the Rev. Dr. James Hart officiated, with burial at Bon-A-Venture Cemetery in Clyde. Thanks be to God for the life, friendship, and faithful ministry of our dear brother in Christ. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 (NRSV) Daniel W. Gaddy and James Hart JOSEPH J. HAUSER OCTOBER 22, 1924 – DECEMBER 8, 2014 The Rev. Joseph J. Hauser entered into eternal life on December 8, 2014, passing away peacefully at home at age 90. He was born in Pfafftown, N.C., on October 22, 1924, the fourth of five children born to Pinkney Evan Hauser and Sally Doub Hauser. Growing up in Forsyth County, Joe’s home church was Brookstown Methodist Church, directly across the road from his parents’ small farm. In high school, he lettered in every sport, and he briefly enrolled at High Point College on a football scholarship in 1943. He left college to join the military, and in October 1944, he celebrated his 20th birthday on a troop ship sailing to Europe. During the war, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge and later was appointed to serve as a guard at the Nuremberg War Trials, held after the war. As a result of his wartime experiences, Joe came home a changed man in 1946, and the rest of his life was devoted to fulfilling a call to the ministry received on the battlefield. 2015 journal 325 Velma Pauline Shropshire wed Joe on September 4, 1948, creating a union of love and friendship that would last 66 years. Together, they set out on the path to ministry when Joe returned to college to complete his education. Joe graduated from High Point College in 1952 with an Artium Baccalaureatus, and received a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Candler School of Theology at Emory University in July 1954. Joe joined the Western NC Conference on September 28, 1952, and began his ministry serving the Franklin Circuit, 1953-1955, as a student pastor. He was ordained as a deacon in 1954 and ordained as an elder in 1955, when he was appointed to Bryson City, serving until 1958. Joe and Velma had two children during their early years of ministry: Joseph Mark Hauser, born 1952, and Susan Elizabeth Hauser, born 1958. After Bryson City, Joe served the following appointments: Morning Star, Canton, 1958-1961; Bessemer, Greensboro, 1961-1965; St. Luke’s, Hickory, 1965-1969; Main Street, Reidsville, 1969-1974; Centenary, Greensboro, 1974-1979; Central, Albemarle, 1979-1982; Mount Tabor, Winston-Salem, 1982-1985; Oakview, High Point, 1985-1986; and First, China Grove, 1986-1988. Joe retired in 1988, and he and Velma moved to Burlington, N.C., to be close to their granddaughters, Catherine and Rebecca. He was actively involved in visitation through First UMC in Graham from 1990-1997. Joe had a fine sense of humor and loved his family, golf, and Duke University basketball. He was a deeply spiritual man who lived his faith every day. As a preacher, he was a craftsman, spending each Saturday night perfecting the sermon he would deliver on Sunday morning, from memory and without notes. In his counseling ministry, he was patient and caring, with more than one person remarking after his death that he was the kindest man whom they had ever known. His greatest joy was his family. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were all welcomed with pride and loved unconditionally. In all aspects of his life and ministry, Joe exemplified what it means to live a life of love and service. A memorial service was held on December 12, 2014, at First United Methodist Church of Graham. The Rev. Kevin Baker and the Rev. Ray Wittman officiated. Burial followed at Magnolia Cemetery in Elon, N.C. Susan Elizabeth Hauser SIDNEY ALEXANDER HEAD III JUNE 6, 1932 – JULY 13, 2014 Sidney “Sid” Alexander Head III, 82, of Charlotte, N.C., died in the comfort of his home after courageously undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. He was born in Columbia, Miss., son of Sidney Alexander Head Jr. and Coma Ball Head. Sid was a retired United Methodist minister and marriage and family therapist. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Sue Greenwood Head. They met at Duke University, where Sid was in Divinity School and Sue was in the School of Nursing. Sid is also survived by four daughters: Julie Sloop (Mike), Suzanna Head, Cathy Head (Martha Brinsko), Jane Bolt (Fred); six grandchildren: Will Sloop (Aubree), Maggie Sloop, Jon Plott, Suzanna Plott, Sally Bolt, Mary Louise Bolt; one brother, Bobby Head (Marie); and a niece, Katrina Guerrero (Ralph). Sid knew he wanted to become a Methodist minister early in life and received his license to preach for the Methodist Church while in the eighth grade. This began Sid’s lifelong pattern of being a constant student with a desire for learning and sharing his expertise. He attended Millsaps College, where he received a bachelor’s degree in religion and philosophy in 1954. Sid chose to attend Duke University Divinity School, and while a senior, served as associate pastor in Reidsville, N.C., under the Rev. Dr. James C. Stokes. Sid received his Master of Divinity degree in 1957 and served an internship at The Institute of Religion at Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas. He returned to Summit, Miss., to serve as minister for Johnston Chapel Methodist Church. In 1959, he was appointed the first chaplain at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas, and it was there that Sid began his lifelong mission for the ministry through pastoral care and counseling. He furthered his clinical training as a pastoral counselor while studying at the Menninger Clinic and Topeka State Hospital. At Stokes’ request, he returned to the Western NC Conference and served a year at Rocky Ridge Methodist Church in Concord, N.C., in 1964. Marriage and family therapy became Sid’s true ministry because of his love for working with people. In 1965, Sid was appointed chaplain of the Methodist Counseling Center, then known as the Charlotte District Hospital Ministry, subsequently serving as director 1970-1974. The Rev. Dr. Harlan Creech, then Charlotte District Superintendent, became a close mentor to Sid. During this time, Sid also received his Master of Education degree at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, a certification in the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, and a licensed certification in pastoral care and counseling. He then became a clinical supervisor, the highest level of achievement in American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). From 1971-1977, Sid was a clinical supervisor for the Students-In-Ministry at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia. In 1974, Sid went into private practice as a therapist, providing individual, group, family, and marriage therapy until his retirement in 2005. Sid also served as an adjunct faculty member at UNCC, teaching and supervising in the counseling department with the late Dr. Mary Thomas Burke. As an AAMFT supervisor, Sid continued to monitor and teach therapists, counselors, and graduate students of marriage and family therapy. He had many gifts for understanding the dynamics involved in relationships and teaching people how to communicate. Sid was an avid reader and was especially interested in books related to health research, car technology, and spiritual growth. He appreciated good food and dining out and was always trying to find the best key lime pie. He had a calm energy, a warm smile, and a tenacious spirit. Not a man of small talk, he always wanted to meet and connect with people at the deepest level. A service celebrating the life of Sid Head was held on Thursday, July 17, 2014, at Myers Park United Methodist Church in Charlotte, N.C., conducted by the Rev. Dr. James Howell. “My soul is from elsewhere, I am sure of that. “I didn’t come here of my own accord, and I can’t leave that way. “Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.” – Rumi Sue Head, Julie, Susan, Cathy, and Jane 326 Western North Carolina Conference JAMES FRANKLIN HERMAN AUGUST 7, 1938 – AUGUST 3, 2014 The Rev. James Franklin Herman answered God’s call two times in his life. The first was the call to minister God’s greatness behind the pulpit of The United Methodist Church. He left the small town of Bessemer City, N.C., taking his wife, Betty Lutz, and his first-born daughter, Terry Lynn (affectionately known as Teri), and began his journey at Matton’s Grove-Zion (Gold Hill), 1962-63. Living on-campus while he studied at Pfeiffer College, he received an Artium Baccalaureatus degree in 1963. After the birth of his second child, Zachary Lee, Herman transferred to Duke Divinity School and completed his education in 1967 with a Master of Divinity degree. His first full-time position was in 1967 in the western North Carolina mountains in the Creston-Green Valley charge. His third child and second daughter, Amanda Paige, was born. In 1969, the family moved to North Wilkesboro, N.C., where Herman ministered until 1977 at Arbor Grove and Union United Methodist churches. After his long ministry there, he moved to Charlotte, N.C., to serve at Spencer Memorial. In January 1981, he gave Teri’s hand in marriage to George Bledsoe, while he joined them in holy matrimony. This same year, son Zach married Peggy Mulvaney, and Herman was also an intricate part of their ceremony. In 1982, he took wife Betty and Amanda, his only child left at home, and moved to Jackson Park UMC, Kannapolis. He left in 1983 to move back to his native area, Gastonia, N.C., to serve at Trinity United Methodist Church for two years, simultaneously serving at Lowell the first year. After Amanda graduated high school in 1985, Herman retired from the pulpit and took on a different kind of ministering. He became a case worker for the Department of Social Services in McDowell County, specializing in working with abused children. Although he helped many children in crises, he still felt the need to minister to the people. His retirement from the Western NC Conference lasted only a short time, and in 1986 he took a small charge in Nebo, N.C. until 1991. He retired from the ministry again and moved back to Gaston County where he worked full-time as a supervisor for social services, working again with abused children. He retired from his position in 1992 and took a part-time ministering job at Ivey Memorial in Lincolnton, N.C. He served this church and community until 2005, including a brief stint at Bethea (Bessemer City) in 2000, then became part-time pastor of Landers Chapel in Lincolnton. Not only was Landers Chapel close to his home on Mountain View Road, it was also close to his heart. So, when God called him the second time, to his heavenly home, Herman was laid to rest at Landers Chapel. He died on August 3, 2014, and was buried on August 7, the day he was born in 1938. He was the firstborn son of Judson and Frances Herman. He was survived by his loving and loyal wife, Betty, by only six days. She was laid to rest by his side two days after their 58th wedding anniversary. Their three children remain behind: Teri and husband George, Zach and wife Peggy, and Amanda and husband Anthony. His grandchildren – Nathan, Lindsey, Danny and wife Bethany, Mike and wife Whitney – also remember him with fond memories of love and fun times with Paw-Paw. Before his death, Herman also got to experience the birth of his two great-grandsons, Nolan James and Kody Maximus. All who knew “Big Frank” were the better for it. Everyone he came to know, he touched in some way, whether it was through his faith and love of God or by touching a suffering child’s hand. All who knew him will remember him as a great man, but know he is now ministering with his Heavenly Father. Teri Bledsoe EMMETT ERNEST HIATT JR. MARCH 19, 1928 – FEBRUARY 26, 2015 For United Methodist ministers, every year, there is talk of Moving Day – that dreaded and terrible day when pastors and their families move from one church to another. It is a day feared by many. It’s a time (usually) filled with sadness and grief, but also a time filled with a sense of anticipation of the newness to come. In early 2015, the Rev. Emmett Ernest Hiatt Jr. found himself at one last “Moving Day” when he moved from the Church Militant to the Church Triumphant. Emmett moved to his new and final home, prepared by Jesus Christ himself, not made by human hands, but eternal in the heavens. Born in Davidson County to the late Emmett Ernest and Cornelia Fishel Hiatt, Emmett Jr. is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Mary Augusta Hudson Hiatt; two sons, David (Judy) Hiatt and Emmett (Evelyn) Hiatt III; granddaughter Megan (Travis) Smith; brother Ray (Leona) Hiatt; and brother-in-law John Berrier. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Hubert, Chester, and Lester, and sisters Doris Smith, Clevell Holmes, and Kaye Berrier. Raised on the strong preaching of camp meetings and the Ten Commandments, Emmett felt a keen call on his spirit as a young man. He began his ministry early in life, receiving his Methodist Church Local Preachers License in 1947, while still a teenager. He preached his first sermon at his home church, Midway Methodist Church in Davidson County. An untiring worker, Emmett could grip a congregation’s attention with his pithy preaching. His deep, booming voice and sense of God’s divine appointment helped everyone present understand that he had a strong word from the Lord others needed to hear. After his graduation from High Point College, where he received a bachelor’s degree in 1951, he entered seminary at Duke University Divinity School, graduating in 1955, and gained a life-long following for Duke men’s basketball. Ordained in the Western North Carolina Conference as a deacon in 1953 and as an elder in 1955, his 44 years of pastoral ministry began with his first appointment to Ruffin UMC in Greensboro. Over the span of his career, Emmett served Ruffin, 1954-58; Table Rock (Marion), 1958-63; Mount Pleasant Circuit (Greensboro), 1963-67; Brookstown, 1967-68; Brookstown-Old Town, 1968-70; Oakdale-Vickrey, 1970-74; Summerfield-Center (Greensboro), 1974-81; Bethlehem (Statesville), 1981-83; Good Hope, 1983-86; Pelham-Hickory Grove, 1986-88; and Bethel (Hickory), 1988-91. The circle was completed as Emmett retired and returned with Mary to Midway UMC (Lexington), the church he dearly loved and from which he was initially licensed to preach. Retirement found him enjoying the daily breakfast company of other retired ministers, including his good friend, the Rev. Bobby Beck, and working in his vegetable garden. For 66 years, Emmett was married to his sweetheart, Mary, in whom he found a partner who could support and encourage him, give a keen appraisal of his sermons, and serve as a pressure valve and sounding board for the most recent bone-headed church board decision. Together, they raised two children, David and Ernie, in that unique environment of a minister’s home, where Saturday night was family bulletin-folding, 2015 journal 327 gardening supplemented a pastor’s salary, and half-eaten meals left on the table because of a crisis are normal. Their home was a place of love, devotion, and prayer. Emmett’s commitment to the fundamentals of the Christian faith, his devotion to The United Methodist Church, and his faithful preaching opened many hearts to the good news of Jesus Christ. After a stay of several months at Shannon Gray Rehabilitation and Recovery Center, Emmett Hiatt died on February 26, 2015. Emmett has gone to claim his inheritance, one “incorruptible and undefiled, that fadeth not away.” “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7:12, KJV) John Woods BOYCE HUFFSTETLER NOVEMBER 11, 1930 – FEBRUARY 9, 2015 The Rev. Dr. Boyce Huffstetler, after a very fulfilled, rich and abundant life, was taken from the mere “shadow of death” into the fullness of everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord on February 9, 2015. He was born November 11, 1930 in Kings Mountain, N.C., the only child to the late William Leonard Huffstetler and Cornelia McWhirter Huffstetler. In his early years, he was influenced by the deep faith and fervent prayers that he witnessed in his mother. On September 6, 1949, at age 18, he was licensed to preach. Upon graduating from Kings Mountain High School, he attended Wofford College and graduated in 1953. He proceeded to Candler School of Theology at Emory University, graduating in 1958. In 1977, he earned and was awarded his Doctor of Theology degree from Southern Bible Seminary. He was ordained as a deacon in 1955 and as an elder in 1958. Faithfully, he served 44 years in the Western NC Conference, retiring in June 1997. He was honored to serve the following appointments: El Bethel, 1953-55; Shooting Creek Circuit, 1955-59; Salem-Barnardsville, 1959-63; East Marion, 1963-66; East Marion-Ebenezer, 1966-69; East Marion-West Marion, 1969-71; Tabernacle (Greensboro), 1971-75; St. Paul (Charlotte), 1975-80; Ardmore (Winston-Salem), 1980-84; First (Newton), 1984-89; First (Sylva), 1989-92; and Pleasant Grove (Charlotte), 1992-97. In retirement, he led numerous building teams and mission trips to Mexico, Haiti and to various disaster areas within the United States. He served for years as a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police chaplain. Up until several months before his death, he taught weekly Disciple Bible Study at the Dallas, N.C., prison. In addition, he enjoyed immensely teaching an adult Sunday school class at Davidson United Methodist Church. As a young seminarian, my father’s theology was heavily influenced and formed by the late Bishop William Ragsdale Cannon with his emphasis on Christian education, evangelism, and Wesleyan orthodoxy. The late Rev. Dr. Robert G. Tuttle was an instrumental presence in dad’s spiritual formation and understanding of the work and the function of the Holy Spirit. During the years when dad served the rural Church, the late Rev. Dr. Alton Glenn Lackey was a mentor and a constant voice of encouragement to my father. Dad married his high school sweetheart, Rose Marie Humphreys, sharing 64 wonderful and fulfilling years. Mom was an academicallyaccomplished student, however, she sacrificed her college education in support of dad’s college education and call to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They were truly a ministry team. The Church is stronger, and the world is certainly a better place, because they were compelled to serve. He is survived by his wife, Rose Marie, and three sons, William Martin, Kenneth Franklin, and David Boyce. He is also survived by two daughtersin-law, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held on February 11, 2015, at Davidson United Methodist Church, with the Rev. Dr. Jody Seymour delivering a beautiful, meaningful service; the interment at Mountain Rest Cemetery in Kings Mountain, N.C. Affectionately, he was known as “Boyce the Builder.” He assisted in building and renovating numerous sanctuaries, and parsonages, as well as educational and administrative wings during his years of service. Dad was a skilled carpenter, roofer, plumber, electrician, and block mason. His parishioners knew him as a servant-leader devoted to the integrity of the Gospel, the highest ideals of the ministerial office and a heart filled with love for “the least, the last, and the lost.” His family knew him as a devoted husband, a giving father, and a loving grandfather and great-grandfather. He will never be replaced, and his legacy remains written within the fabric of every heart that knew him and every life that was touched by his love and service for Jesus Christ our Lord. All honor and glory with thanksgiving be given to God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. David Boyce Huffstetler GARY WILLARD LEONARD OCTOBER 22, 1944 – DECEMBER 26, 2014 The Rev. Gary Willard Leonard went to be with the Lord on December 26, 2014, at his home in Morganton, N.C. He was born October 22, 1944, in Greensboro, N.C., the son of Robie Wilbur Leonard and Cora Clark Leonard. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by siblings Helen Godfrey, Rachel Swails Turner, Douglas Darrell Leonard, A. Conrad Leonard, and Clarke Wayne Leonard. The Rev. Leonard was a graduate of Page High School in Greensboro. In 1966-1967, he attended Southern Pilgrim College in Kernersville, N.C., and after one year, transferred to Olivet Nazarene University in Kankakee, Ill., where he received his bachelor’s degree in religion in 1971. He also attended the Five-Year Course of Study and the Four-Year Advanced Course of Study at Duke Divinity School in Durham, N.C. Surviving the Rev. Leonard is his wife of 48 years, Marilynn Jennings Leonard, and their three children, Lisa Leonard Holt and her husband, Eric, Timothy Willard Leonard, and Jacqueline Zoe Leonard. They have five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He is also survived by siblings Shirley Corinne Cox and Dorothy Thomas. Beginning his ministry in the Nazarene denomination, the Rev. Leonard served the Church of the Nazarene in Warsaw, Mo., Excelsior Springs, Mo., and Have Lock, (Concord and Asheboro), in North Carolina. He was ordained in 1977, while in the Nazarene Church. He was licensed to preach in the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church in 1984 and served faithfully at the following appointments: Denton Circuit, 328 Western North Carolina Conference 1984-88; West Yadkin, 1988-93; New Hope (Rutherfordton), 1993-95; East Bend, 1995-97; Rockford Street-Oak Grove (Mt. Airy), 1997-03; and Nebo-Snow Hill (Morganton), 2003 to 2010, at which point he retired. Possessing a “pastor’s heart,” the Rev. Leonard was always concerned with the welfare of all his congregations. Two of his churches, while in the Nazarene Church, were on the verge of being closed due to multiple problems. Under the Rev. Leonard’s leadership, these two churches continued to grow and are still vibrant churches today. Funeral services for the Rev. Leonard were conducted Tuesday, December 30, 2014, at Zion Memorial UMC in Morganton with the Revs. George Williams and David Hawkins officiating. Burial followed at Snow Hill United Methodist Church cemetery. I first met Gary while we were attending the Course of Study at Duke Divinity School. We became great friends, and over the years of our ministry, exchanged our pulpits through revival meetings. We had many discussions about Scripture, exchanged advice about mutual problems within our ministries, as well as other issues that helped us both along the way. He was a very close friend and brother in Christ and will be greatly missed. George Williams ROBERT WAYNE LITTLE APRIL 25, 1938 – JANUARY 8, 2015 The Rev. Robert Wayne Little was born in Charlotte, N.C., on April 25, 1938. He died January 8, 2015. These dates form the bookends of a life well lived and a ministry of faithful service. Bob grew up in a home with three sisters, Betty, Jane and Linda (deceased). His parents, Floyd G. and Maybell Maudlin Little, taught their children how to love and share this love. Bob often spoke of his family and its influence on his life. In 1956, Bob graduated from East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte. He attended Brevard College, receiving an Associate of Arts degree in 1958, then transferred to High Point University for his Artium Baccalaureatus degree, earned in 1960. Bob’s goal was to become a teacher, but God had other plans for his life. Bob attended the Divinity School at Duke University, where he received the Master of Divinity degree in 1963. The journey as a traveling clergy in the Western NC Conference began for Bob with his license to preach in 1957. He was ordained deacon in 1961 and elder in 1964, at which point he was also received into full connection. With love, faithfulness and unsurpassed dedication, Bob served the following appointments: Tuckaseegee Road, Charlotte, 1963-65; First, High Point, 1965-69; Bethesda, Gastonia District, 1969-71 and BethesdaSmyre, 1971-73; Rocky Ridge, Concord, 1973-77; Pleasant Grove, Thomasville, 1977-83; Fletcher, Asheville District, 1983-89; Central, Kings Mountain, 1989-93. From 1993 to 1998, Bob served at Covenant, Charlotte, a church formed by the merging of Tuckaseegee Road and Wesley Heights, allowing a return to his first pastorship. Bob concluded his service at First, Belmont, 1998-01. In 2001, Bob entered the retired relationship. Bob was dearly loved by each congregation. Not only was he an excellent preacher and good pastor, his congregations never knew what Bob would do or say next. Come to think about it, neither did Bob. The incoming local pastors of our conference found, when they attended the local pastor’s school, a caring friend in Bob Little. He used his teaching abilities to serve for years as the instructor of Christian Education at the school. Bob also loved all kinds of music and was especially appreciative of the Lake Junaluska Singers. During the last month of his life, the Lake Junaluska Singers came to his residence and gave Bob a special concert. This was their way of saying, “thank you,” for the time and effort Bob gave to them. Unknown to all but a few, Bob played the piano. His repertoire was limited to just a few hymns. Many of his friends called on Bob to teach a Bible study or some other class, but few, maybe only one, ever asked him to play for a Sunday evening service. On November 14, 1969, at First Methodist Church, High Point, N.C., Bob married Diana Joyce Esau. To this union, a son, Sean Paul (Hope), and a daughter, Kimberly Nichole (Eric Bolden), were born. Bob also survives granddaughters Kailey and Leighann. Diana was always the great love of his life. Her caring love for Bob during his declining health was an inspiration to us all. Bob and I were best friends for more than 50 years. We laughed, cried, argued, and drank a lot of coffee. We were always brothers no matter where the conference sent us. Bob sometimes wondered what impact his life had been for others. At his memorial service on January 17, 2015, at Clyde’s Central United Methodist Church, where Bob attended in retirement, his pastor, the Rev. Dan Gaddy, told of Bob’s willingness to serve on various committees, teach Sunday school classes and be a friend to his minister. Through letters and personal memories, the Rev. Gaddy shared Bob’s work with the Hospital Auxiliary and of the many Divinity School interns Bob and Diana hosted in their home over the years. The Rev. David Baxter shared some of the humor and great witness Bob brought to his ministry. As we sat there, laity and clergy from across our conference, I found myself thinking, “Well done, my brother, now you know what a good and faithful servant we knew you to be.” For those of us who knew and loved Bob, it was an honor to be his colleague and a blessing to be his friend. John E. Davis Jr. JOE EDWARD LUTHER JR. JUNE 19, 1943 – SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 The Rev. Joe Edward Luther Jr. was born on June 19, 1943, and died at age 71 on September 8, 2014. During the last few weeks of his life, Joe was tended to by his wife, Mem, Hospice of Cabarrus County, and numerous other family, friends, and church members. A man well-loved and devoted to the welfare of others, Joe was thoughtful, caring, and faithful to the end. Joe was born to Joe Edward Luther Sr. and Rebecca Davis Luther in Charlotte, N.C. At age 10, he and his family moved to the Lassiter Mill Community in Randolph County. He was educated at Farmer School where he made lifelong friends. After graduation in 1961, Joe spent two years at N.C. State College where he studied poultry science and experienced his call to ministry. He graduated from High Point College in 1966 with an Artium Baccalaureatus degree in religion, and subsequently enrolled at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology in Atlanta, Ga., where he graduated with a divinity degree in 1969. It was there that Joe met his wife, Mary “Mem” Powell Luther, and they were married in 1968. They were later blessed with two 2015 journal 329 sons, four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Deciding to pursue a focus in pastoral counseling, Joe studied at N.C. Baptist Hospital and earned a Master of Science degree from Wake Forest University in 1978. Joe’s vocational career was rich and varied. He blended his ministry of pastoral care with a true love of art, storytelling, humor, and creativity. Prior to his career as a pastoral counselor, he served the Prospect-Pleasant Hill Charge (Thomasville) 1969-1972. In 1974, Joe, Mem, and their three-year-old son, Jay, moved to Concord, N.C. when Joe began his service at the Cabarrus Co. Mental Health Clinic. Granted chaplaincy in 1978, Joe remained at the Mental Health Clinic until 1982. Their second child, Michael, was born during this time. In 1982, Joe became one of the first pastoral counselors at the Methodist Counseling Center in Charlotte. He worked there for 20 years to strengthen the presence of pastoral counseling in five districts serving the Piedmont area of the Western NC Conference; 2002-04, he also served St. Paul-Center Grove (Cabarrus County). In 2003, Joe realized a dream when he opened the Center for Growth and Healing, a non-profit ministry in Concord, where he spent his time as director until retirement in 2011. Through the ministry of healing and reconciliation, Joe touched the lives of countless individuals and families, of both laity and clergy alike. His depth of caring and wisdom made him a wonderful colleague, teacher, and friend. In addition to his local ministry, Joe was certified as a Diplomat of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, where he served in a number of leadership positions over the many years of his professional career. A memorial service was held Saturday, September 13, at Central United Methodist Church in Concord, officiated by the Revs. Andy Langford, Susannah Pittman, and Wes Judy. Joe was laid to rest in the Oak Grove cemetery in Asheboro. An artist, wood turner, painter, photographer, writer, storyteller, jack-of-all-trades, gardener, and outdoorsman, Joe loved his ministry, his family, and the multi-faceted life given to him. During his final days, Joe shared a number of personal reflections on his journal with “Caring Bridge” (www.caringbridge.org). His thoughts, both poignant and at times humorous, gave a brief glimpse into the soul of this wonderful man as he said his goodbyes and, in a sense, chronicled his death. In one of his last journal entries, Joe expressed these words of gratitude: “Thank you to all the people over the years who have shared their pain and stories and helped me understand life more deeply. Many have allowed me to walk on very holy ground and I am eternally grateful.” Thank you, Joe, for sharing your life with us and for walking among and with us. John V. Arey Jr. and John B. Rowe KELLY BRYAN OTTINGER JANUARY 21, 1959 – JANUARY 22, 2015 “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.” (Mark 16:15) Kelly Ottinger was born on January 21, 1959 to Doris Brown and the late Burnett L. Ottinger in Gastonia. Kelly grew up actively attending Cramer Memorial UMC, Cramerton, where he was active in the UMYF. He was graduated from East Gaston High School in 1977, where his best friend was John Barden, a son of the Rev. Larry Barden, who was pastor of First UMC, Stanley at that time. Larry had a significant influence on Kelly’s life during those formative years, and counseled him as he first sensed the call to ministry. Kelly was graduated from UNC-Charlotte in 1981 with a B.A. in Psychology and Religion. He married the love of his life, Carol Roberts Ottinger, on April 7, 1984. They were blessed with one child, Hannah Elizabeth Ottinger, who was born on November 2, 2000. Kelly is also survived by a brother, Eric Keith Ottinger and his wife, Wiebke. Kelly struggled with the call to ministry throughout his college years, but chose not to pursue it at that time. Yet, he served in ministry in many ways, through his work in foster care, protective services, Department of Social Services, Group Home Director for troubled youth, addictions counselor, Assistant Director of a Juvenile Detention Center, and other similar positions. For some years Kelly and Carol were part of Assemblies of God and Baptist congregations, until in 1998 they joined Carol’s home church, Maylo UMC in Ranlo, where Carol served as Director of Music and Kelly served as Youth Pastor. It was while serving as Youth Pastor at Maylo with the Rev. Steve Phillippi that Kelly began to struggle once more with the call to ministry. Kelly discussed his calling at length with Steve, who saw in him his love for youth, his passion for the Gospel, and his compassion for others. It was while Kelly was working through his call to ministry that this writer came to know him, for I was asked to serve as his mentor through the candidacy process. As we worked through the process, it was evident to me that God had been calling Kelly into ministry for years, but he had taken a detour through other helping ministries. Kelly was licensed to preach at the 2001 WNC Annual Conference and served the following appointments: Hopewell-Rehobeth (Gastonia District) 2001-2003; Rehobeth-Mt. Moriah (Gastonia District) 2003-2006; New Hope (Asheboro) 2006-2010; Bethel (Rowan) 2010-2012; Bethel (Rowan)-Yadkin (Spencer) 2012-2013; Grace (Salisbury)-Bethel (Rowan) 2014; Medical Leave 2014-2015. During the Time of Sharing and Remembrance at Kelly’s funeral, many people shared how they were blessed by his ministry at their church, most especially by the insights which he shared in Bible studies. It was Kelly’s goal to complete his seminary education and eventually become an elder in full connection, but at the time of his death, he was still a student at Hood Theological Seminary, working toward the M.Div. degree. (Kelly Ottinger was awarded an honorary M.Div. degree posthumously by Hood Theological Seminary on May 16, 2015.) Tragically, Kelly suffered a stroke following his Ash Wednesday service on Wednesday, March 5, 2014. He confessed to Carol that coming home from the service he did not feel well, he did not see well, and he did not drive well. Soon after he arrived home that evening, he received a call about a parishioner who had fallen and broken her wrist. In spite of the way he felt, Kelly wanted to go and visit this woman at the hospital. Kelly did end up at the hospital that evening, but as a patient, eventually being admitted to the ICU at Novant Health in Winston-Salem following a stroke. This began a long and difficult struggle for him. On multiple occasions the doctors gave Carol little hope for Kelly surviving the night, but each time Kelly would rally and prove the doctors wrong. As he grew in strength, he would ask his doctors, “When can I preach again?” He finally gained enough strength that he was transferred to Brian Center in Salisbury. While a patient there, the nurses would come to him with questions they had about the Bible, or when they needed pastoral counseling. Kelly was always glad to provide ministry, even while he was lying in bed. While a patient at Presbyterian Hospital, Charlotte, Kelly was transferred into the Harris Hospice Unit, where he entered the Church Triumphant on January 22, 2015. A Service of Death and Resurrection was celebrated on January 31, 2015 at Maylo UMC, Ranlo, with the Rev. Laura Hubbard Auten and the Rev. Steve Phillippi officiating. Interment was at Hillcrest Gardens, Mount Holly. 330 Western North Carolina Conference It was quite fitting that the closing hymn at Kelly’s funeral service was his favorite hymn, “Blessed Assurance,” for he would want us to remember him by Fanny Crosby’s words to the chorus of that hymn: This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long. James L. Pyatt DANIEL KING OUTEN SEPTEMBER 7, 1940 – MARCH 25, 2015 The Rev. Daniel “Danny” King Outen entered the Church triumphant after a stroke on March 25, 2015, at the Randolph Hospice House in Asheboro, N.C. The life of the Rev. Daniel King Outen was celebrated at Central United Methodist Church in Asheboro, with the Rev. Dr. Terry L. Matthews officiating. Burial was in Randolph Memorial Park. Danny was born September 7, 1940, to Wilson and Fairy King Outen in Asheboro. He grew up in a home that included three brothers, Jake, Bobby, Phil, as well as a sister, Eleanor. He made his profession of faith at Russell’s Grove Baptist Church in Randolph County and later was a member at Crestview Wesleyan Church in Asheboro. Educated at Seagrove High School, the Rev. Outen married his sweetheart, Hilda McNeill, in November 1964. Their marriage would last 50 years, and his love for Hilda remained strong and unwavering, bringing a beloved daughter into the world, Tina Elliott. The Rev. Outen worked for a number of years for the State of North Carolina and Union Carbide before answering the call to ordained ministry. The Rev. Outen returned to school at Central Wesleyan College (now Southern Wesleyan University) in Central, S.C., where he earned his undergraduate degree in 1977. Upon graduation, he entered into the ministry of The Wesleyan Church as an elder and served two appointments. Following his second appointment, God’s prevenient grace brought the Rev. Outen to Central UMC in Asheboro, where he met the Rev. William H. Pheagan Jr., who encouraged him to consider ministry in The United Methodist Church. After much prayer, the Rev. Outen answered God’s leading and was appointed to Legend Park (Asheboro) in 1986 through the Western NC Conference. He enrolled in the Course of Study at Duke Divinity School and received his license to preach in 1989. Over the span of his career, the Rev. Outen served: Legend Park, 19861989; Pisgah-Seagrove, 1989-1991; Old Union-Worthville, 1991-1995; Warrensville, 1995-1998; West Yadkin, 1998-2003; and Bethlehem, 2003-2005. He was retired in 2005, then served West Chapel while in retirement, 2009-2013. He returned to fully-retired status in 2013. The Rev. Outen was a man of quiet faith who lived out his faith in ways that were both simple and profound. Transformed by the amazing grace of God as a young man, his life was a constant reflection of that grace. The Rev. Outen was a wonderful husband to Hilda, a wise and loving dad to Tina, and a caring shepherd to the congregations whom he served faithfully and well. This servant was a man after God’s own heart, and it showed on a daily basis. He knew that God was his “refuge and strength, a present help in times of trouble.” He did not labor for a reward that was financial. He labored for that city whose builder and maker is God. He did not receive all the things promised, but saw them from afar. And yet, he always remained faithful. What kept the Rev. Outen faithful? In one word, “love.” It was his love for God. It was his love for his wife, Hilda, for his daughter, Tina, and especially, his love for his grandsons, Blake and Owen. Despite the demands of serving multiple churches, he always found time for his grandsons. When he was serving in Statesville and Yadkinville, he made sure he was always at their ball games. He found the time to teach them how to cook, how to drive a tractor, how to fix something that is broken. And he didn’t mind getting out and playing with them so enthusiastically that their friends would ask, “Is your grandpa really a preacher?” In short, he taught them how to be men, in the very best sense of that word, who love God and who love the people God has placed in their lives. That is the kind of epitaph that isn’t always written on a gravestone, but it is one that needs to be shared and celebrated! Terry L. Matthews JACKSON KENT OUTLAW JR. JUNE 29, 1928 – DECEMBER 24, 2014 The Rev. Dr. Jackson Kent Outlaw Jr. died on Wednesday, December 24, 2014, at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center due to complications suffered from an automobile accident. Kent was born in Albemarle, N.C., on June 29, 1928, a son to the late Dr. Jackson Kent Outlaw Sr. and the late Isabel Zurbrick Outlaw. He and his wife, Leslie, were married October 15, 1955. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Leslie Robertson Outlaw, and his sister Isabel Bryan Schulz. He is survived by three children: sons Jackson Kent Outlaw III and Robert Leslie Outlaw and his wife, Janice, and daughter Julia Gray Outlaw and her husband, Vincent O’Boyle. He is also survived by a granddaughter, Anna Marie Outlaw. Kent’s education included studies at several academic institutions. He graduated from Albemarle High School and attended The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. He then went to Wake Forest College and, in 1949, graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences degree. After service in the United States Army, Kent received a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University. Always interested in education, Kent later received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Drew Theological School and a Master of Liberal Arts from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He was ordained as an elder in the Western NC Conference in 1962. Kent was admitted on trial in the Tennessee Conference on June 27, 1959. While studying at Vanderbilt, Kent had two appointments: Little Lot Circuit, 1958-1959, and Scottsboro, 1959-1960, in the Tennessee Conference. He transferred to the Western NC Conference in 1960 and served a number of churches until his retirement in 1992. His appointments included: Leicester, Mineral Springs, Pisgah, Pisgah-Hiatt, Draper-First (Eden), Stokesburg-Pine Hall, Oak Summit, Dobson-Stony Knoll, Shiloh (Granite Quarry), and Bethesda (Lexington). During a sabbatical leave in 1986-1987, he worked for Bread for the World as the North Carolina state director. His doctoral thesis involved helping three churches to study and discover ways to become involved in solving issues of hunger. 2015 journal 331 My relationship with Kent dates from the early ‘60s when we both served in the Winston-Salem District. We were active in challenges surrounding the Vietnam War. Kent had strong feelings that churches should be more actively involved in discussing issues of war and peace as well as racism. He felt his call to ministry included encouraging his parishioners to apply Christ’s teachings to these issues. Kent retired in 1992. His ministry, however, continued in a variety of ways, one of which was to volunteer with the North Carolina School of the Arts Listening Post. This is a cooperative ministry of United Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Episcopalians, and Roman Catholics. He met weekly, talking with high school and college students about their lives and the pressures they felt working on their particular art. He also served several years as treasurer for the Winston-Salem Wesley Foundation’s Board of Directors, which oversaw campus ministries at Winston-Salem State University, Salem College, the North Carolina School of the Arts, and Wake Forest University. Kent never stopped learning, whether in an academic setting working on a degree or in conversation with others. He had an abiding curiosity about the Christian faith and worked at understanding how his life meshed with his faith. He had an extensive library of books dating from seminary years as well as contemporary theological volumes. In addition to reading his theological books, Kent was an avid reader of historical books, especially of World War II. Kent was also a prolific writer, reflecting on his own faith journey and sharing these thoughts with friends who engaged him in thoughtful discussions. Kent’s son, Robert, shared: “To him, WWII, the evil of Hitler, the evil of the Holocaust against the allies as the force for good, was a morality play he could never stop watching. Writing on a spiritual level, he seemed to want to alert his reader that the blessings and gifts of God available to all are something which, if accepted casually, are wasted. The gifts of God are of great consequence and much of the fear and suffering of this world are the result of many taking these gifts of God for granted. If we recognized the value of God’s gifts, we would live happier lives and make the world better for those around us. If we valued and used God’s gifts, we could live up to the ideals from the ‘Sermon on the Mount’ and make the Kingdom of God real.” During his military time as an Army intelligence officer with cryptography clearance, Kent was stationed near Paris. He made a number of trips to the city and fell in love with it, learning to speak French fluently. His first home with Leslie was in France, and over the years, they returned to Paris every four or five years. Kent felt he learned the French language well enough that he could be considered a Frenchman! Kent’s funeral was officiated by the Rev. Paula Northrup on December 29, 2014, at Clemmons United Methodist Church. Burial followed at Fairview Cemetery in Albemarle. Many friends and colleagues gathered to pay homage to this dedicated servant of Jesus Christ. His death has left a void in our lives that will be difficult to fill. Shalom to you, friend Kent. David Riffe MELITA BAUCOM PADILLA JANUARY 1, 1946 – JANUARY 24, 2015 The Rev. Melita Baucom Padilla entered the Church triumphant on January 24, 2015, after a brief, gutsy bout with cardiac failure. But there was never any failure of the true heart of this diminutive but larger-than-life servant of God. Melita was born to Lewis and BarDee Baucom in Salisbury, N.C., on New Year’s Day, 1946, the first New Year’s Day after the war, and fittingly, the 152nd anniversary of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. The signature of her life and ministry was a setting free of the oppressed, and a relentless crusade for justice. She earned her Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Belmont University in 1992, her Master of Arts degree from Baylor University in 1993, and her Master of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University in 1997 at age 50. Admitted as a probationary member in the Tennessee Conference in 1998, and into full connection in 2000, she blessed us by transferring into the Western NC Conference, where she served the Norwood Circuit from 2002 until 2006, then Calvary in Charlotte from 2006 to 2013, and finally Park Avenue in Mooresville from 2013 until her death. She is survived by one daughter, Brandi Cartee. A memorial service was held at noon on January 31, 2015, at Park Avenue. Shakespeare’s words in A Midsummer Night’s Dream come to mind: “Oh, when you get her angry, she’s a good fighter, and vicious too. She was a hellcat in school. And she’s fierce, even though she’s little.” Height-challenged, Melita towered above others in her zeal for learning, in her compassion for the hurting, in her skill in teaching, and in her single-minded devotion to God’s church. Not many clergy have Bob Marley songs posted to their Facebook page within hours of death. She was feisty, subversive, outspoken, always with a devilish smile and immense love. Melita felt and expressed hurt and frustration over the Methodist “system,” as have most clergy, but then she had always railed against flawed systems in pursuit of blessing for all people. Homelessness, hunger, loneliness, depression, hopelessness, and injustice in any form bugged the daylights out of her, and she refused to rest until we got busy doing something about whatever was awry with the world. She loved the Church, the Scriptures, other pastors, her parishioners, total strangers, and her beloved daughter and sisters. The prophet Micah asked, “With what shall I come before the Lord?” We know the answer: “What does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Requirements fulfilled, Melita. James C. Howell JAMES OAKLEY PRICHARD SR. FEBRUARY 10, 1921 – OCTOBER 25, 2014 The Rev. James “Jim” Oakley Prichard Sr., like the Apostle Nathanael, was a man without guile. The authenticity of Jim being a true follower of the One who came not to be served but to serve is unquestioned. He joined Liberty Methodist Church in 1933. He served as a sergeant in the United States Army during World War II. After working as a carpenter, the Carpenter from Galilee called him to serve in the Methodist Church. Jim completed an Associate of Arts degree at Lees-McRae in 1959 and theological preparation at Duke Divinity School. He was licensed to preach in 1956, came into full connection in 1964, and retired in 1986 after eight appointments in five districts, returning home to Hiddenite, N.C., and Liberty UMC. His appointments included Linville Falls, 1956-60; the Todd Charge, 1960-64; Mount Carmel-Bethany, 1964-68; Cross Mills, Marion, 1968-69; St. Matthews, Morganton, 1969-74; West End, 332 Western North Carolina Conference Thomasville, 1974-76; Good Hope, 1976-83; and Bethlehem, Statesville, 1983-86. In retirement, he served the Thurmond Charge twice and also served Carson’s Chapel and Rocky Springs. Jim was born February 10, 1921, in Hiddenite, Alexander County, to the late Rev. Jennings William Prichard and Katie Mayberry Prichard. Jim was married to Zettie Ethelyne Crouch on May 31, 1947. She died on February 5, 1997, four months shy of their 50th wedding anniversary. Their union produced six children: Barbara Prichard Chappell (Joe), Madge Prichard Johnson (Steve), Jamie Lynn Prichard Sr. (Phecy), Lisa Prichard, Donna Prichard Bone (Tom), and the Rev. James O. Prichard Jr. (Sonia), who is also a full-time local pastor in the Western North Carolina Conference. Jim’s family continued to expand in following generations, with 17 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren. The memorial service and burial with full military rites took place October 29, 2014, at Liberty United Methodist Church. The Rev. Prichard began life anew in the presence of the One he so faithfully followed, leaving behind a legacy of loving-kindness and a sterling example of faithful, humble service. Alan Rice JERRY LEE REID SR. MAY 24, 1950 – APRIL 8, 2015 The Rev. Jerry Lee Reid Sr. began his eternal rest on the morning of April 8, 2015, after complications from intestinal surgery. He was born on May 24, 1950, to the late Elizabeth Horton Reid and the late Theodore Roosevelt Reid Sr. He grew up in the Freedman community of Lenoir, N.C., raised in the Methodist faith. As a youth, he was an active member of Smith Memorial United Methodist Church in Lenoir and served in numerous roles there, including Methodist Youth Fellowship president and treasurer, youth choir member, and youth Sunday school leader. Jerry attended Freedman High School in Lenoir and graduated from Lenoir High School in 1968. He furthered his education at Caldwell Community College, where he studied drafting. From 1969 to 1972, Jerry served with in the U.S. Army, spending 30 months in combat as a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War. Jerry received several medals for bravery and service, including the Purple Heart. He later joined the National Guard. Following his military tour, Jerry answered the call to ministry. Jerry was ordained in the Baptist church in 1973 and received his license with The United Methodist Church in 2003. He continued his education at Hood Theological Seminary and the Course of Study at Duke Divinity School, which he completed in 2010. Through the years, Jerry led many congregations, most recently serving as pastor at three United Methodist churches: Burgess Chapel in Granite Falls, 2002-2009, 2014-2015; Green Hill of Lenoir, 2002-2015; and Beaver Creek of Ferguson, 2009-2015. In addition to his ministerial role in the community, Jerry devoted more than three decades to working as a community organizer and activist. He served on many leadership, domestic violence, and school task forces, including Caldwell County Smart Start, Parents as Teachers, and Friends of the Library. He served as a mentor and adviser to schools. He served with Dulatown Outreach Center and as personnel director of Freedman Community Action Team. He served with the Lenoir-Caldwell County Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance; NAACP; Democratic Party of Caldwell County; Caldwell County Prison Ministry Board; and the City of Lenoir’s Planning Board; Pride of Caldwell Lodge #713; Ruth Chapter Order of the Eastern Star #571; IH Clayborn Consistory #365; and the Harper-Witherspoon American Legion Post 231. The Rev. Reid was employed for 28 years with the N.C. Department of Correction’s Western Correctional Institution and the Caldwell Corrections Center, where he attained the rank of sergeant. On December 25, 1974, Jerry wed Pamela Inez Wilson, and they were happily married until his death. They had two sons: Jerry Lee Reid Jr. and Perrin Isaac Reid, and two grandsons, Simon and Oliver. A service was held April 12, 2015 at Smith Memorial UMC. Jerry Reid Jr. TRACIE CHRISTIAN ROSE AUGUST 21, 1954 – MAY 13, 2015 On May 13, 2015, in Matthews, N.C., the Rev. Tracie Christian Rose won her courageous battle with pancreatic cancer and died surrounded by her family to be raised with Christ. Tracie was born on August 21, 1954, in South Charleston, W.Va., to Rose and Donald Christian. A life-long Methodist, Tracie grew up, was confirmed in, and attended UMYF at First Methodist Church of South Charleston. Tracie graduated high school in 1972, and from the Nursing Department of Morris Harvey College in 1974. A week later, Tracie married her high school sweetheart, Stuart Rose, on May 18. Theirs was a marriage filled with love and joy for 41 years, and blessed beyond measure by the births of Diane, Daniel, and Rachel after their move to Matthews, N.C. in 1979. Tracie enjoyed a 30-year career as an operating room nurse, working in hospitals in Blacksburg, Va., Hartford, Conn., and Charlotte, N.C. She was known by her colleagues as a compassionate and dedicated nurse, and as a caring friend. Tracie retired from her first career in 2004. She and her family were active members of Matthews United Methodist Church for almost 20 years. In 2005, Tracie and Stuart transferred their membership to First United Methodist Church, Charlotte. After a faith-sharing moment in which Tracie said she had long thought her son might have an unanswered call to ministry, the Rev. Jim Trollinger prophetically said to her, “I think you have it backward, Tracie. God is calling you.” In 2010, Tracie answered her call to ministry, was licensed as a local pastor, and was appointed to serve as assistant pastor at First UMC in Charlotte, where she continued to serve until her death. Tracie was enrolled in the Course of Study at Duke Divinity School. In 2014, Tracie taught the Pastoral Care topic at the WNCC Licensing School at Lake Junaluska. “The participants appreciated having the leadership of a fellow local pastor,” said the Rev. Kim Ingram. “They connected to her experiences and identified with the role she played in the church. It gave them confidence to know that they, too, might be effective in ministry, and spoke highly of the skills they learned and the tools that Tracie added to their toolbox.” Tracie’s illness prevented her from continuing in this role. At First Church, Pastor Tracie was uniquely prepared by her nursing and life experiences to lead Pastoral Care ministries, bringing to many the assurances of faith, comfort, and healing as she proclaimed the Good News boldly and inclusively – using words when necessary. Her clergy colleagues describe her life and ministry very well: 2015 journal 333 “The first memory I have of Tracie is her testimony in church, when she shared about her work as a nurse and the nudges she began to feel into ministry … Tracie’s life was defined with compassion, as I knew she would never turn anyone away who needed care.” – Rev. Eddie Ingram “Even as she was defining and living into her own call, she encouraged and strengthened (us). She was always affirming us in our work and in our ministry.” – Rev. Ashley Anne Lloyd “Tracie’s gifts were many … she seemed to know what to say in any given situation and how to pray for any given moment. Her prayers for worship quickly became legend.” – Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Coppedge-Henley “Tracie always sought to bring people together and she always put herself to roles that cared for people … I can’t forget those times watching her calm people’s nerves, praying for healing, telling people to trust grace, or watching her step to the pulpit to proclaim how she knew grace was so strong. Tracie represents living proof of how God’s love seeks us out even in the darkest of times.” – Rev. Jonathan Coppedge-Henley “Tracie saw beauty in the broken. Like the pieces of colorful stained glass that she used to create art, Tracie had the ability to take the broken pieces of life and create something beautiful and useful, something that reflected the Light of Life.” – Rev. Ann Self “Tracie Rose paid attention to people in pain better than anyone I’ve ever known. She was so fully present to them, using only a few words. She was a powerful listening presence and a remarkable source of hope and encouragement to broken people.” – Rev. Dr. Charles Wilson A Service of Death and Resurrection to celebrate the life of the Rev. Tracie Christian Rose was held on Monday, May 18, at First Church, Charlotte with the Rev. Jonathan Coppedge-Henley and the Rev. Dr. Charles Wilson officiating. As daughter, wife, mother, nurse, pastor, and friend, Tracie lived a courageous and passionate life, guided by the words of her favorite scripture, Micah 6:8 “… seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.” Tracie believed that every person she met was a unique creation of God and someone who gave her a new opportunity to share the love of Christ. Acknowledging her own brokenness, Tracie accepted everyone as they are, where they are, and who they are with unconditional love and respect. Tracie believed that her life was filled with God’s grace, and she tried to share that grace as often as she could. “Theology was more than words, it was life. Tracie was a living, breathing exploration of what it means to be God’s person in the world – gifted and called with all that involves,” said the Rev. Mary Koon. Stuart Rose JOHN MATHIAS RUFTY JANUARY 14, 1934 – APRIL 28, 2014 The source and focus of John Mathias Rufty’s life and faith – God as revealed in Jesus Christ – carried him through life and eventually through sickness and death with a sense of purpose and conviction. John was born in Salisbury, N.C., on January 14, 1934, to loving and dedicated Christian parents, Frank and Beulah Caudle Rufty, who claimed the love and saving grace of God for John in baptism and brought him up in that relationship. John concluded his sojourn on this earth on April 28, 2014, in that same relationship, cultivated by years of faithful Christian service. John was one of five children, one of whom survives him – Edith Oakley of Badin Lake. Two of his siblings, Franklin G. Rufty Jr. and Evelyn Rufty Hammett, preceded John in death, while Grace Rufty Osborne died about eight months after John’s death. The Rufty family, when John was a small boy, moved from Salisbury to Laurinburg, N.C., and then, when John was eight or nine years old, moved to Kannapolis, N.C. In Kannapolis, the family joined Trinity United Methodist Church. It was from Trinity UMC that John initiated the process of becoming an ordained minister. Those of us who knew John as a youngster will remember him as a person who had a strong arm, a strong faith, and a creative touch. He knew how to pitch a softball, had a knack for drawing, and a strong faith that led him, during a Billy Graham crusade, to respond to a call from God to preach the Gospel. John took that call as a call to prepare, leading him, after graduating from A.L. Brown High School in Kannapolis, to pursue degrees at High Point University and Candler School of Theology of Emory University. He received his bachelor’s degree from High Point in 1957 and his Master of Divinity degree from Candler in 1960. He was licensed to preach in 1953 during the Salisbury District Conference. He was ordained as a deacon in 1958 and as an elder in 1961 during annual sessions of the Western NC Conference. While in seminary, John combined his gifts and passion for sports and his belief in developing the whole person by managing and participating in the school’s intramural teams. John married his high school sweetheart, Doris Brigman, on July 1, 1956, never wavering in his commitment to her, his love for her, and his appreciation for her partnership in ministry. They enjoyed 57 years of marriage and partnered in giving birth to one daughter and two sons, all of whom survive John. They are Arey Rufty Rash of Asheboro, Mark Rufty of Franklinville, and Michael Rufty of Statesville. John is also survived by a son-in-law and two daughters-in-law whom he embraced as his own – Dennis, Lyn, and Donna respectively – and three grandchildren, Joseph, Amanda, and Ashleigh. They found in John a loving, supportive, and faithful husband, father, father-in-law, and grandfather, one who considered it both a responsibility and a joy to share in their endeavors and to celebrate their accomplishments. John’s pastoral ministry spanned 42 years (1956 to 1998), resulting in many people joining the churches he served by profession of faith and by transfer of membership. He began in 1956 as a student pastor, serving the Rowan Mills Charge in the Salisbury District for eight months before departing for seminary. His first full-time pastorate began with the Stanfield congregation of the Albemarle District in 1960, where he served until 1964. John concluded his pastoral ministry at Central Terrace in Winston-Salem in 1998, where he served ten years, 1988-1998. Between his first and final full-time appointments, John served Oak Ridge - Morehead (Greensboro District) 1964-1968; Bethel (Thomasville) 1968-1975; Bethany (High Point District) 1975-1979; First (Bessemer City) and Puett (Gastonia District) 1979-1981; First (Troutman) and St. John’s (Statesville District) 1981-1986; and Highlands (Waynesville District) 1986-1988. John’s involvements beyond the local church included service on a district Committee on Ordained Ministry, where he enjoyed assisting persons discerning a call to ministry and giving guidance in pursuing ordained ministry or being licensed to preach. John entered the retired relationship 334 Western North Carolina Conference with the Western NC Conference in June 1998. He and Doris made their home in Franklinville where he had once served as pastor and where they had children nearby. John’s ministry focused on winning persons to Christ, visiting and caring for his flock in sickness and in health, confronting issues or situations he considered to be injurious to persons and society, and “being there” for those in need. John suffered a stroke shortly after retiring which had lingering crippling effects, but he never allowed his misfortune to wither his spirit or his concern for others. When John entered his eternal home, he had carried the designation “Reverend” just shy of 61 years. A Service of Celebration and Remembrance of John Rufty’s life was held in the Pugh Funeral Home Chapel in Asheboro on May 2, 2014, with Chaplain Tim Pheagin and the Rev. Burton King officiating. The words that come to mind when thinking of John Rufty include: authentic, consistent, committed, conscientious, and sincere. Billy Graham, under whose preaching John felt the call to preach, once responded, when a certain person was mentioned to him, “I like that man. He is always the same.” Graham was affirming the man as one whose character was consistent, whose Christian commitment never wavered, who could be counted on through “thick and thin,” and whose compassion for others never flagged. One could also say that about John Rufty. Those who were his family, friends, and parishioners, and those of us who were his colleagues in pastoral ministry, give thanks for having shared his life. T. Paul Starnes Jr. HARRY RUSSELL SELLERS JR. JULY 3, 1935 – NOVEMBER 14, 2014 Born July 3, 1935 in Brevard, N.C., Harry was the son of Harry Russell Sellers Sr. and Margaret Pearce Sellers. As a young man, Harry learned the meaning of hard work when he began working in his father’s A&P Grocery Store. While attending Brevard High School, Harry played on the football team. Harry joined the United States Army and served his country during the Korean War. While serving in the Army, Harry was able to travel to Japan where he climbed to the summit of Mt. Fujiyama, a feat that his children and grandchildren continue to brag about today. Harry was licensed to preach in April 1954. While serving as a student in the Mt. Airy circuit, Harry met and married his partner in ministry and in life, Margaret Emelyn (Lyna) Baker, on December 26, 1960. In 1962, Harry completed the Bachelor of Divinity program at Duke Divinity School and was ordained an elder in 1963. Harry served God faithfully in ministry for more than 40 years, and even after retiring in 2001, continued to touch many lives. A man of exceptional wisdom and quiet strength, Harry invested his life in the lives of others. His first appointment was at Hot Springs, where he served from 1962-1967. Both of Harry and Lyna’s children, William Russell Sellers and Katie Sue Holmes, were born during this appointment. During the remainder of his ministry and service, Harry and Lyna served: Avery’s Creek, 1967-1969; Andrews, 1969-1973; Wesley Parish, 1973-1980; Jefferson, 1980-1988; Wilkesboro, 1988-1998; and Midway, 1998-2001. In 2001, Harry retired, and he and Lyna moved to Ardenwoods retirement community where they lived until 2010. In 2010, Harry and Lyna moved to Heritage Hills retirement community in Hendersonville, N.C., where they lived until Lyna passed away August 14, 2013. Harry remained there until February 2014, when he moved to Columbus and lived in the Laurel Hurst-Laurel Woods assisted living campus until November 2014 when he went home to be with his Lord and Savior. After the severe fall that ultimately took his life, one of the last statements Harry spoke was, “I’ve got to get dressed.” Harry R. Sellers Jr. knew where he was going. He had prepared for that day and was ready to go home. On that November afternoon, Harry “finished the race.” Harry was cremated through the services of Groce Funeral home in Arden, N.C. The memorial services was held at Balfour United Methodist Church in Hendersonville on Monday, November 17, 2014, after which the family honored the wishes of both Harry and Lyna, and spread his ashes on the Blue Ridge Parkway at a mile marker that he and Lyna had chosen. It is an honor to count myself (his son) as one whose life was touched by this man. W. Russell Sellers DORIS PAYNE SMOTHERMAN JR. SEPTEMBER 4, 1931 – NOVEMBER 29, 2014 The Rev. Dr. Doris Payne Smotherman Jr. (D.P.) was born September 4, 1931, in Murfreesboro, Tenn., to Roberta Rowland and Doris Payne Smotherman. He lived a full life, passing away November 29, 2014. Surviving him is his wife of 58 years, Arlene O’Connor; sons, Stephen Allen, his wife Sue, and Michael Lee, his wife Lisa; and four grandchildren. After high school, he received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Middle Tennessee State College and a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University in 1957. In 1988, he earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from Drew University. D.P. was license to preach in 1954 through the Tennessee Conference, serving in Summertown and Pelham, transferring into the Western North Carolina Conference in 1957. While in this conference, he served as an associate at Central UMC, Asheville, beginning in 1957. He then served Andrews, 1959-1962; Mount Mitchell, Kannapolis, 1962-1966; First Church, Reidsville, 1966-1971; Muir’s Chapel, Greensboro, 1971-1975; and Central, Shelby, 1975-1979. In 1979, he was named superintendent of the Northeast District, where he served until 1982, when he became superintendent of the Thomasville District. In 1984, he moved to Christ Church, Greensboro, where he served until moving to First Church, Hendersonville, in 1990. He retired in 1995. D.P. was an avid reader. We often compared books and recommended them to each other, especially books we found helpful in our spiritual growth or that would enrich our preaching. I will miss his referrals. He was a good preacher, learning from his own experiences as well as his reading. D.P. had a pastor’s heart, but his family was central to his life. He was a faithful friend, a devoted pastor, and shepherd to his parishioners. To his peers, he was a brother in Christ. Pastors like him make the Brotherhood/Sisterhood a reality. O God, we are grateful for all our good memories of D.P. For good times we had together, for the help we received from him, and for the inspiration of his life. May these experiences continue to bless us. Amen. Paul D. Lowder 2015 journal 335 WILLARD LESLIE STEVENS AUGUST 6, 1917 – MAY 31, 2014 The Rev. Willard L. Stevens, 96, of Snow Hill, Md., passed away May 31, 2014, while living at Davey’s Assisted Living. He was born on August 6, 1917, in Greenbackville, Va., son of Arthur L. Stevens and Helen Marsh Stevens. Willard graduated from Snow Hill High School as the winner of the “Old Home Prize,” the equivalent of today’s valedictorian. He earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Salisbury College. After graduation, he took a job teaching at Colora Friends School, where he taught from 1938 to 1940. In 1940, he taught in a one-room schoolhouse on Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay. In 1941, Willard joined the U.S. Army, and in 1943 he entered the Army Air Corps. After receiving an honorable discharge, he began the next chapter of his life by entering Wesleyan Seminary in Westminster, Md. He became an ordained Methodist minister in 1948. During his years as a pastor, he served at Methodist churches in Chance, Sharptown, and Stockton, Md., 1948-53; Hayward, Mo., 1954-58. He served in United Church of Christ churches in Jefferson, Md., 1958-63, and WinstonSalem, N.C., 1963-69. Through the Methodist church in North Carolina, he served the East Bend charge, 1969-71; Elbaton, 1971-77; Gideon Grove-Palestine, 1977-78; and Shiloh-Olivet, 1977-81. In 1943, while in Officers Training School in Miami, Fla., he met a young lady from Missouri with a beautiful singing voice, Laura Alexander. He referred to that meeting as an exciting, stupendous, beautiful event. On April 4, 1944, they married, and proceeded to have three children, Deitra Kay, Richard Leslie, and Robin Renee (Brown). They also have five grandchildren. A Biblical scholar, Willard studied all the passages to the point that his Bible was filled with notations in all the margins. He always promoted equality of all people. He loved visiting his church members, sitting in their kitchens while having long discussions over a good cup of coffee. After his retirement, he wrote a book, “Walking Short,” which detailed the adventures and blessings of his life. He loved music, especially his wife’s and his son’s singing. He had a very dry sense of humor and was always making jokes that sometimes only he understood. The last paragraph of his book shows his love of family, church, and Jesus Christ: “Laura and our three children accepted every community in which we lived. They loved the people and Sunday after Sunday, year after year, they listened to their daddy preach. Not once did I ever hear them wish their father had a more lucrative career. What more could a man wish for. That and to believe in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.” The Rev. Stevens was laid to rest with military honors at Bates Memorial Cemetery in Snow Hill, Md., on June 4, 2014. Deitra Stevens RUSSELL HAROLD STRADER SR. OCTOBER 18, 1924 – DECEMBER 29, 2014 The Rev. Russell Harold Strader Sr. entered into the eternal rest of his savior, Jesus Christ, on December 29, 2014, at Givens Health Center, Asheville, N.C. A man of the mountains, his earthly life was about living prayerfully in God’s presence. Born October, 18, 1924, to Thomas Benton Strader and Annie Hopper Strader, Harold is survived by a sister, Sarah Hill, and a brother, Bill Strader of Rockingham County. He is also survived by his loving wife and companion of 62 years, Carolyn. He and Carolyn together raised and loved their four children, Lynn Strader Wilson, Russell Harold Jr., Philip Mark, and David Thomas in a household that emphasized not just love, but service to others. He adored his 13 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, many of whom now own a small wooden critter carved by this tender, loving man. Harold came from a sturdy farming family who helped build one of the structures of Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church. He described his call to ministry as “a still small voice” of God into what was to be a radically faithful following of Jesus Christ in actively loving people of all races, persuasions and beliefs. Upon graduation from Ruffin High School in 1942, Harold attended King’s Business College, Greensboro, and worked for a police department and in accounting for a textile factory. He earned an Associate of Arts degree at Pfeiffer Junior College, and in 1952, he graduated from Duke University. Following his call to divinity school, Harold attended Candler School of Theology at Emory University, where he met fellow student Carolyn McCullough of Columbia, S.C. They grew in their love for each other and were married on November 27, 1952, by Carolyn’s brother, the Rev. Earle McCullough. Harold graduated with a Master of Divinity degree from Emory University in 1954. The committed couple worked together as youth program directors at Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Ga., after marriage. Harold was ordained as a deacon in the Western North Carolina Conference in 1954 and became an elder in 1955. During his ministerial career, he served: Swannanoa Circuit, 1954-55; Bethel-Azalea Charge, 1955-58; May’s Chapel, 1958-61; Whitnel, 1961-65; Pineville, 1965-69; Lafayette Street (Shelby), 1969-70; Bethlehem (Albemarle), 1970-74; First Church (Franklin), 1974-79; First (Dallas), 1979-83; Bryson City, 1983-86; and the West Macon Charge, 1986 until he retired in 1988 from parish ministry. In the course of his ministry, Harold lived out his commitment to Christ by standing with the dispossessed and the outcast of society. His effort to calm racial tensions during the most segregated period for ministry in the 1960s and ‘70s resulted in personal threats made toward him and his family and bombs planted on his property. Harold became deeply involved in prison ministry, sharing time and eating with many inmates. John Boggs said of Harold, “He was on the leading edge of social justice ministries in Western North Carolina.” In 2006, the Macon County Human Relations Council awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to the Rev. Harold and Carolyn Strader for “exemplifying excellence in leadership and demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” Harold was truly a pastor and a peacemaker in that he not only tried to help people find their voice but he knew how to listen, believing that each person has a voice worth listening to. It was this listening spirit which helped many a young person in ministry (including myself) experience what being a “pastor” looked like. After retiring from parish ministry, Harold enjoyed 10 years of ministry as chaplain of Angel Hospital in Franklin, N.C. He worked with the Macon Program for Progress, the Cultural Arts Council, Habitat for Humanity, the Land Trust for the Little Tennessee, and a support group for persons with AIDS. In 1996, he was Franklin Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year. Harold lived up to what Carlyle Marney called a “New Breed” of man who was not afraid to be compassionate and committed to the call of Christ for service to the “least of these” in the world. He entered his elder years still seeking, learning and listening. He passed on to his final home with 336 Western North Carolina Conference his Lord on December 29, 2014, from pneumonia, still sharing a room with Carolyn, his wife of 62 years. Memorial services were held at First United Methodist Church in Franklin on Sunday, January 4, 2015, and at the Givens Estate Center on Monday, January 5. Gary L. Kling DANIEL DEWAYNE TAPP JANUARY 13, 1965 – SEPTEMBER 5, 2014 The Rev. Daniel “Danny” Dewayne Tapp was called to be with his Lord and Savior on September 5, 2014. He was born to Dewell Dewayne Tapp and Brenda Kirby Tapp Gallman on January 13, 1965, in Spartanburg, S.C. In addition to his parents, Danny was the older brother to two sisters, Tammy Jackson and Tana Tapp Lee. On March 31, 2012, Danny and Kelly Renee Sill were joined in holy matrimony at the cross at Lake Junaluska. They then became a blended family who had a passion and desire to serve the Lord. Danny is survived by his wife, Kelly Tapp of Hickory, N.C.; two sons, Alex Tapp of Phoenix, Ariz., and Niles Tapp of Kernersville, N.C.; one stepson, Christopher Sill of Hickory, N.C.; and their beautiful dog, Abby. Danny graduated from Dorman High School in 1983 in Spartanburg, S.C. He then began his career in the automotive industry and would later become one of the top sales managers in the region in automotive parts. Danny was the store manager for a major automotive retailer for more than 10 years, winning numerous awards for his sales achievements. But deep in Danny’s heart, he knew that the Lord was calling him to something different, something better. Danny became very active in his home church, Bethlehem United Methodist Church in Mill Springs, N.C. He served on numerous boards and committees and later was nominated as the charge lay speaker/lay leader. Danny also served as president of the United Methodist Men. It was then that Danny began his candidacy for ministry in The United Methodist Church. Danny completed Licensing School for Local Pastors in June 2008 and was licensed for pastoral ministry in 2009. Danny accepted his first appointment in 2009 at Bethlehem United Methodist Church and Grays Chapel United Methodist Church in Rutherford County, where he served until his second appointment in 2012, which would take him to Hickory. There, he served the Burke Chapel - Mt. Harmony charge until his passing in 2014. Danny was a member of Phi Theta Kappa while attending Isothermal Community College from 2009-2012 and was enrolled at Appalachian State University in 2013 working toward his associate’s degree in social work. Danny was also enrolled and attending Duke Divinity Course of Study at the time of his passing. Danny had a passion to share the Lord with those who are less fortunate and with the homeless in the community where he lived. In 2013, Danny started a program that provided hot dog bag lunches to those attending the local food pantry every other Saturday. Danny was always excited to meet and greet those who were there and to share the love of Christ with them. Danny was also active in the missional network and enjoyed participating in the Blessing of the Animals in 2013 and 2014 in his community. Danny was a dog lover and enjoyed witnessing and praying with other animal lovers as well. Danny had many health problems the last year of his life, which resulted in multiple back surgeries and a diagnosis of lung cancer that later resulted in surgery. Yet, he never allowed that to stop him from serving the Lord and sharing the Gospel. Danny would witness to and pray for the hospital staff around him during his hospital admissions and never let his health defeat him. In 2013, Danny was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer that resulted in surgery to remove the cancer and part of his lung. In recognition of overcoming cancer and as a means to give God the glory, Danny participated in his first 5K, the Imagine No Malaria 5K at Lake Junaluska during annual conference in 2014. He completed the race with his wife by his side. Danny passed away unexpectedly on September 5, 2014, in Hickory. Receiving of friends and the funeral service were held at Mt. Harmony United Methodist Church in Connelly Springs, N.C., on Tuesday, September 9, and a graveside service was held at Danny’s home church, Bethlehem UMC in Mill Springs, on Wednesday, September 10. Both services were officiated by the Rev. Ed Stephenson and the Rev. Philip Cole. Danny is buried next to his stepfather, Leroy Gallman, whom Danny cherished deeply. Danny’s favorite quote was, “If I go or if I stay, I’m a winner either way.” Danny has won the battle and has finished the race. He is now home with the Lord where he always longed to be!

Gloria Simmons, Suzanne Berry, and Marybeth Pitman SUSAN ELAINE NORMAN VICKERS OCTOBER 9, 1957 – AUGUST 22, 2014 The Rev. Susan Elaine Norman Vickers entered into the great company of the saints in light on Friday, August 22, 2014, after a valiant four-year battle with breast cancer. Susan was born, October 9, 1957, in Winston-Salem, N.C., to Vernon G. and the late Betty Troutman Norman. Growing up in Winston-Salem, Susan attended Mt. Tabor United Methodist Church. She graduated from R.J. Reynolds High School and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she earned a varsity letter in women’s field hockey. Susan attended the Divinity School at Duke University, earning the Master of Divinity degree in 1984. She was ordained as a deacon in 1983 and was ordained as an elder in 1986. Susan served as associate pastor at First UMC, Hickory, from 1984-1988. Susan was appointed as associate pastor at Blair Road UMC, Mint Hill, where she served from 1988-1992. In 1992, she was appointed to Christ UMC, Greensboro, where she served as senior associate pastor for 23 years. Susan and her husband, the Rev. Mark Norman Vickers, were married on September 7, 1985, at Mt. Tabor UMC in Winston-Salem. They have one son, Thompson Gray Vickers, born November 20, 1996. Susan is also survived by her father, Vernon G. Norman, and his wife, Tommie, of Winston-Salem, and her loving sisters, Cindy Wilhoit and her husband, Tom, of Albemarle, N.C., and Carla Morgan of Summerfield, N.C. A service of worship celebrating Susan’s life and witness was held on Saturday, August 30, 2014, at Christ United Methodist Church with worshippers filling rooms throughout the church and hundreds more worshipping online. The outpouring of love was indeed a witness to the countless number of lives Susan touched in the name of our Lord. Susan was a daughter, sister, aunt, competitor, mentor, colleague, teacher, guide, Tarheel, Scrabble champion, sinner, saint, pastor, shepherd, fighter, joyful servant, mother, wife, beloved child of God, and friend. Vocationally, she was one of the last of the breed of elders who specialized in ministry with youth. She dedicated her life to guiding youths and young adults in becoming faithful disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, and today, there are countless young disciples who are now reaching others with the good news of God’s love because of Susan’s ministry. Susan lived a beautiful life, and it was beautiful because it radiated the glory, the grace, the love, and the beauty of God. Her life was beautiful because she did what we are all called to do – reflect the image of Christ to others. She had the rare ability to move from a youth gathering, to a council meeting, to a Disciple class, to Stephen Ministry, and on to a youth retreat without missing a step. She was equally adept at ministry with the youngest member to the oldest member because she genuinely loved each and every person as a unique child of God. Susan was a gifted preacher, inhabiting the text in ways that were like putting on your favorite shirt. Her sermons were at once eminently accessible and yet profound, having grown out of the crucible of her own experience. Most especially, Susan was a friend. She was a friend of Christ, a friend to sinners, a friend to anyone whom Christ placed in her path. Even in the midst of fighting the disease that was slowly taking her life, she had the grace to put others first, to listen, and to share God’s love. Susan was fond of saying, “It’s all good.” For her, this was not some sentimental, greeting-card slogan. This was and is an affirmation of faith. Susan lived and died in the confidence that in life, in death, and in life beyond death, God is with us. It was to that hope that she gave her very best. Well done, my friend. Well done. David C. Hockett 338 Western North Carolina Conference MILES MARION WORKMAN JANUARY 25, 1925 – JANUARY 8, 2015 On a Sabbath day, January 25, 1925, Miles Marion Workman was born into the family of Miles Madison Workman and Dora Frances Warner Workman in Thomasville, N.C. Upon completion of his high school education and one year at High Point College, Marion served in the United States Navy. After the Navy, he completed his undergraduate studies at High Point College, receiving his bachelor’s degree in 1948. Subsequently, Marion attended the divinity school at Duke University and received his Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1952. He was ordained as a deacon in the Western North Carolina Conference in 1951 and as an elder in 1953. Marion began his pastorate in 1951 on the Swannanoa Circuit at Bethel and Azalea, until 1954. He then served the following appointments: Mills River, 1954-1958; Tryon, 1958-1962; Mt. Pisgah, 1962-1969; Purcell (Charlotte), 19691971; Pleasant Garden, 1971-1978; Aldersgate (Shelby), 1978-1980; and Centenary (Greensboro), from 1986 until retirement in 1989. Prior to his last church appointment, Marion was Statesville district superintendent, 1980-1986. While attending Duke Divinity School, Marion met Mary Alice Sanders, an undergraduate student. Mary, an astute individual, decided the first time they met that he would be her husband. They had planned their wedding for June 1953; however, during Mary’s visit in Advent 1952, they changed their plans and were married December 27, 1952. Into this sacred union were born their daughter, Marcia Marie, and their son, Miles Jr. Marion was predeceased by his faithful, beloved wife, Mary, on June 15, 2009, as well as his parents, three brothers, and his sister. Marion is survived by his daughter, Marcia Guffey, and her husband, David; his son, Miles Workman, and his wife, Ju-Young; granddaughter Laura (John McGinniss), and great-grandson Luke; brother-in-law Dewitt A. Sanders Jr.; and sisters-in-law Dorcas Workman and Bea Curtis. He is also survived by his colleagues in ministry, his former parishioners, and beloved friends throughout the Western NC Conference of The United Methodist Church. While attending a doctor’s appointment on January 8, 2015, Marion suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and went to heaven. This writer makes a distinction, because Marion always referred to his beloved wife’s passing as, “when Mary went to heaven.” The word, “death,” was not in his vocabulary. On a Sabbath afternoon, January 18, 2015, a celebration of life service for Marion was held in the warm, beautiful sanctuary of Pleasant Garden United Methodist Church. Marion and Mary moved to this bucolic community upon their retirement. This church, as with all appointments, was very dear and close to their hearts. The Rev. Mark Weekley officiated, with assistance from the Rev. Dr. Steve Martin, the Rev. Dr. Charles Adams, and the Rev. James Pyatt. The holy Scriptures were: Psalm 23, Micah 6:8, and I Corinthians 13 with reference to Luke 2:25-35. Marion had preselected the sacred hymns, which were played by Peggy Matthews for this worship service: “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee,” “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus,” and “Alleluia.” Julee Marshall, soloist, sang “His Eye Is On the Sparrow.” On Monday, after the worship service, Marion’s remains were placed to rest beside his loving wife, Mary, in the cemetery of Pleasant Garden. The Rev. Weekley, his minister, officiated with personal comments from beloved children, Marcia and Miles. Marion’s life is tantamount to that of Simeon, of Luke’s Gospel, made complete as Jesus the Christ became his reality. Each of us has been lifted to a greater dimension in this reality by knowing this good and faithful servant, and we will always be thankful that God, providentially, sent Marion our way. Charles L. Adams A special thank you to the Rev. G. Craig Allen and to Marsha Bradley for their work in editing the memoirs. 2015 journal 339 G.
