65 Mabel Victoria Waye August 21, 1931 April 10, 2016 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 Mabel Victoria Waye was born May 13, 1946, to Willie and Ruthie Walthour, who both preceded her in death. Mabel attended public school in Yulee, Florida. Later she moved to Camden County where she married Napoleon Waye, Sr., who also preceded her in death. They had four children: one girl, Tonja Williams; and three boys, Napoleon Waye, Jr., Raleigh Waye (Nadine), and Allen Waye (Denise). Mabel grew up working in the Carnegie United Methodist Church as a Sunday school teacher and president of the choir. Mabel answered her call to the ministry in the nineties and completed the Course of Study at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. She pastored King Solomon United Methodist Church in Waycross and Scott s Chapel United Methodist Church in Blackshear. She served the Nahunta Circuit from 2003 until her retirement in Mabel once said, Napoleon is always supportive of me and my ministry with complete devotion. We are in ministry together. Mabel reached out to others with a caring heart; she met them with a smile and an encouraging word. Mabel fought a long and courageous battle with her health, but she was not intimidated either by life or death, and she was ready to go to be with the Lord in peace. She is remembered by her family as a special, unique person for whom we will be forever grateful. She was caring, warm, and tender and at the same time spirited and stimulating. She instilled in them a love of life and, in particular, an appreciation of music. Mabel was a gifted pianist and soloist. She shared her talents to bless others in our churches and communities. She loved to sing Can t Nobody Do Me Like Jesus. She will remain in our memory with deep love and affection as an outstanding example not only of womanhood and motherhood but also of dedication to Christ and the Church. Mabel Victoria Waye died on May 5, 2017, at the Hospice of the Golden Isles in Brunswick, Georgia. The funeral service was held at Greater Trinity United Methodist Church in St. Mary s, Georgia, on Saturday, May 13, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. The Reverend Eddie Conaway, Jr., Pastor, and Reverend Doreen Smalls officiated, and Reverend Denise Walton was the eulogist.

Ross Freeman was born in Stillmore, Georgia, to Lester and Ollie Ross Freeman. He grew up in Tennille and accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior during those days. Dr. Freeman was under appointment by a Bishop from the South Georgia Conference for 52 years before his retirement in June During this time he had significant responsibilities at Emory University and Lake Junaluska, the two major institutions which belong to the Southeastern Jurisdiction, and leadership in the General Church for 24 years.

Williams in Jacksonville, Florida. The son of Thomas Jefferson Williams and Daisy Ervin Williams, Thomas grew strong in his youth and, upon graduation, joined the United States Army at the end of WWII. Trained as a paratrooper, Williams served in the occupational forces in Japan. 510

67 Returning home to Jacksonville after his tour, young Williams met a beautiful young lady named Sarah, who went by Frances. Frances and Williams sister had been classmates, and introductions were made. The matchmaking was successful, and soon Thomas and Frances were married in Jacksonville s Hogan Baptist Church. As newlyweds, they together attended Southside Estates Baptist, Frances family church. Just as Thomas had begun his earthly life in Jacksonville, he also began his eternal life. Coming to Southside s altar, Thomas gave his heart, soul, and strength to our Lord. Like the Biblical Timothy, Thomas became an example among the believers with his faith and courage. He was appointed Chair of the Board of Deacons then the youngest man to ever hold that title in his church. But God wasn t finished. Shortly after that, Thomas began occasional preaching at Southside Estates and was rapidly called into the ministry. Thomas impressive faith and knowledge led not just to the pulpit but to plant a new church as his very first assignment. Armed with neighborhood surveys and a five-hundred-dollar project loan from Southside, Thomas and Frances began Jacksonville s Hogan Heights Baptist Church. The plant was a success, and the loan was returned within a year. The Williamses were then assigned to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church in Pine Grove, Louisiana. There, even in 1956, almost all the homes in the area still relied on outhouses for sanitation. Realizing this was an impediment to the area s growth, Thomas preached a sermon titled, The Christian Home Should Be the Best It Can Be. Within a few weeks nearly every outhouse in town was torn down as homes and churches rapidly installed indoor plumbing. Their next church was Mississippi s East Fork Baptist, the family church of famous comedian Jerry Clower. Thomas was delighted to share the pulpit with Jerry when the star returned home to visit and preach. After East Fork, the Williamses returned to Louisiana to pastor in Livingston. While there, Frances parents were involved in a serious automobile accident. The family came home to Jacksonville so Frances could assist in her parents long, but successful, recovery. Thomas became the pastor of Normandy Park Baptist Church. While later serving nearby Springfield Park, Thomas was invited to consider the United Methodist Church to continue his ministry. Thomas, Frances, and children joined the newly-renamed denomination, and Thomas was appointed to Jacksonville s Avondale Park UMC. During his first Methodist appointment, Thomas met a pastor from the South Georgia Conference who asked him to consider filling a need for pastors to the north. The family relocated yet again as they began a new life at Gethsemane UMC in East Dublin. Several more South Georgia appointments followed, including Tennille/Bay Springs, Sardis, Ludowici, and South Columbus. In those days, it was easier for pastors to cross Conference lines, and South Carolina came calling for Thomas. There, he served the Allendale and Estill charges. Alabama-West Florida followed, with the Watua and Crawford charges. When retirement in Alabama finally arrived, Thomas had pastored for over fifty years. Even in retirement, he kept up the studious life of a minister, constantly studying the Bible and nearly any Christian literature he could find. He also remained well-versed in current events. But life wasn t all books and sermons. Thomas and Frances raised seven children and were blessed with sixteen grandchildren and twenty-one great-grandchildren, and he spent many days hunting and fishing with his growing family. Thomas final transition into eternal life happened on August 5, 2017, at Columbus Hospice House in Columbus, Georgia. Waiting to receive him in Glory were his son and granddaughter, John Robert and Sarah Ellen Williams. Thomas F. Williams was buried with honors appropriate for a hero of God and Country on Thursday, August 10, 2017, in Fort Mitchell National Cemetery befittingly the former site of a 19th century Methodist school and mission.

Mike Benson September 27, August 9, 2017 While working as a civil servant at Robins Air Logistics Center in Warner Robins, God called C. Mike Benson into pastoral ministry. An undergraduate from Mercer University in Macon, he prepared himself for ministry by graduating from Candler School of Theology in Atlanta. He graduated in 1994 with the degree Master of Theology. Mike entered into the life of the connection as a Deacon in 1993 and was ordained Elder in

68 Sharing and participating in his ministry was his wife of 30 years, Terri K. Benson, and their two sons, Stephen and Daniel. Together they lived and served as the parsonage family at the Marion County Circuit, which included Union, Brantley, Tazewell, and Bethel United Methodist churches. The ensuing parishes were New Harvest UMC in Valdosta, Striplin Terrace in Columbus, First UMC of Sylvania, and Central UMC in Fitzgerald. After a courageous battle against cancer, Mike passed into the fullness of God s Kingdom on August 9, A native of Forsyth, Georgia, he was deeply loved by his parents, Charles and Betty Benson. Mike was known to his parish and peers as a humble, kind, devoted servant of Christ for twenty years. Services to celebrate his life and ministry were held August 12 at 11:30 a.m. at Central UMC in Fitzgerald. Rev. Dr. Derek McAleer officiated and was assisted by Rev. Henry Bass, Rev. Rich Wright, and Rev. B.J. Funk. He now joins the company of the faithful exclaiming, I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify your name forevermore. Psalm 86:12 Submitted by Rev. Craig Rikard, a member of the Committee on Memoirs. Helen Berenthien September 3, August 25, 2017 A Shetland pony walked into a convenience store, went up to the counter, and told the clerk he wanted to buy 50 gallons of water. The clerk said, Wow, you must really be thirsty. The Shetland pony said, No, I m just a little hoarse. Helen Berenthien loved to tell jokes, the cornier the better. Her colleagues at St. Luke United Methodist Church in Columbus, Georgia, the only pastoral appointment she ever served, believe this is because Helen understood joy and loved sharing joy with others. Helen s parents, Theodor Christian Berenthien and Marian Stubbs Berenthien of Savannah, instilled in all their children a love for education. Helen graduated from Miller High School in Macon, Georgia as valedictorian in She received her Associate of Arts degree from Del Mar Junior College in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1950; her Bachelor of Laws degree from Mercer University in 1968, and her Juris Doctor degree from Mercer s Walter F. George School of Law in On October 19, 1970, she passed the Georgia Bar Exam and was admitted to practice law. She was the Appointed Clerk of Court, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Georgia in In 1985, she resigned to enter full-time volunteer ministry at Covenant House in Houston, Texas. While there, Helen heeded God s call into full-time pastoral ministry. She entered Candler School of Theology, Emory University, in Atlanta in September 1988, graduating in 1991 with a Master of Divinity degree. She became a Probationary Elder in the South Georgia Conference in 1990 and was ordained as an Elder in The United Methodist Church in After completing Candler, she was appointed to St. Luke in 1991 as Evangelism Minister. She took the retired relation in 2001 but continued at St. Luke until 2012 as Minister of Older Adults and Pastoral Care. Helen was a friend to the poor, a sister to the lonely, and a pastor to the broken-hearted. She oversaw the development of St. Luke s Respite Ministry for Memory-Impaired Adults and the expansion of the Prayer Ministry and Prayer Room. Helen loved her cats, but she also loved all of God s creatures. She would remind us of the wisdom of the psalmist: God saves mortals and animals alike (Psalm 36:6). Helen died on August 25, 2017, at her home. A Memorial Service was held at St. Luke on September 2, with Rev. Robert Beckum officiating and participation by colleagues and family. Burial was in Parkhill Cemetery in Columbus; arrangements were handled by McMullen Funeral Home. Helen was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Betty Berenthien Wilson, and brothers-in-law, Robert Leroy Wilson and George Platt. Survivors include siblings Barbara Berenthien Deaver (Bascom S. Deaver, Jr.) of Charlottesville, Virginia; Theodor Christian Berenthien, Jr., (Wilma Quinley Berenthien) of Baltimore, Maryland, 512

69 and Marian Berenthien Platt of Wake Forest, North Carolina; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and greatnephews. Helen perfected walking daily with Jesus Christ. We might see Helen from time to time eating at Burger King at a table by herself. She may have been by herself, but she was not alone. Helen had a deep, deep faith, and she walked every moment with Jesus Christ. So when she was called home, she may have been by herself, but she was escorted into the kingdom by the One with whom she walked daily. Her colleagues and friends are grateful for her witness and inspired by her faith. Submitted by Mr. Mitch Watts and Rev. Cindy Cox Garrard at the request of the Committee on Memoirs. William R. Billy Key December 18, August 27, 2017 Rev. Dr. William R.

Billy married Mildred Sites, Sunshine, on September 12, She was indeed the sunshine and helpmate of his life and his ministry! Five children blessed their union-- Brenda, Danny, Todd, Scott, and Betsy. His family knew him as a fruitful pastor and lover of Jesus and scripture, a person who exuded a positive spirit of faith and love, and a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, whose example of Christian character, faith, hope, and love will continue to inspire generations to follow.

70 William Benjamin Bennie Dowdy August 27, 1936 November 14, 2017 Rev. William Benjamin Dowdy was born August 27, 1936, in Cordele to Tarlton and Emma Statham Dowdy. His mother called him Bennie. Family and friends followed, with that same spelling. Raised in Midway United Methodist Church, Bennie graduated from East Crisp High School in He entered the business world, first with the Greyhound Bus System and then as a furniture salesperson. One of the pastors of Midway and Cordele First UMC was Rev. Claude Fullerton, who later retired to Cordele and continued as a mentor in Bennie s life. Under his influence, Bennie answered the call to pastoral ministry, at first as a bivocational pastor. He became a local pastor in 1968 and continued his education while serving appointments, receiving an Associate of Arts degree from Mercer University and his theological education from Candler School of Theology. He became an Associate Member of the South Georgia Conference in 1979, retiring in His pastorates over the 31 years included Salem/Shiloh, Parrott, Byromville/Lilly, Pitts Chapel, Guyton/Marlow, Unadilla, Salem, and Leslie. A loving and faithful pastor, Bennie was always concerned about the welfare of his members and was in return loved by all of them. He preached the Gospel, visited his flock, and ministered to the sick and shut-ins, while laboring intentionally to nurture his churches spiritually. Community-minded, he was greatly appreciated and loved beyond his congregations in the communities to which he was assigned. In the Conference, he sought out and benefited from friendship with older pastors, including Rev. Hoke Hatcher. He had a wide circle of friends within the Annual Conference. In retirement, he was an active part of Midway UMC, when able. He married Arlene Sanders on February 1, She was at his side as a loving, faithful partner through their pastorates and in his days of retirement and illness. Besides his ministry, he was gifted at woodworking and carpentry. He used his skills in their various parsonages and in their retirement home in Cordele, as well as in the churches and communities where they lived.

James Duke, Jr., a member of the Committee on Memoirs. William Homer Billy McCoy November 1, 1942 November 27, 2017 William Homer Billy McCoy lived a life dedicated to the elevation of others. The simplicity of that sentence belies the depth and weight of his convictions and actions. Born on November 1, 1942, to John F. McCoy, Sr., and Margaret Brasington McCoy Dethman, Billy began his life and Christian faith in Waycross, Georgia. Though only fully manifested decades later, his call to preach was first heard as a child. At just twelve years old, Billy preached at his home church, Trinity Baptist. High school graduation came, and the military called. After three years of honorable service to the United States Army, Billy returned home to attend Georgia Military College and Valdosta State College (now Valdosta State University). A strong career in education followed. Billy taught high school science, biology, and Spanish in several Georgia counties. Administration was also a talent, and he became Assistant Principal in the city of Quitman and eventually Principal of the high school in Lakeland, Georgia. Billy stayed connected to his early Christian calling and his love of sports by serving as an advisor to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Among his many other accomplishments, he worked as a high school baseball umpire and football referee, the latter for forty years. Billy, inspired by his ability to grow a long, full, white beard, became well known for his Christmas 514

71 portrayals of Santa Claus. In 2002, Billy met and married Michelle Davidson of Moultrie. After a wedding in Monticello, Florida, she would stand and serve with him as God fulfilled His calling in Billy s life. While living and teaching in Moultrie, Billy taught Sunday School at each of the city s three fire stations. A man of ecumenical theology, Billy attended both Baptist and United Methodist churches throughout his fourdecade teaching career. His call to preach began in a Baptist church, and it was fully realized in a United Methodist church. While teaching in Newton County in his final years before retirement, Billy attended the Red Oak United Methodist Church in Covington. After serving in several capacities including SPRC Chair he was hired as the Assistant and began some of the duties of the ministry for himself. In 2006, Billy was appointed as Lay Supply at Lovejoy United Methodist Church. In 2007, his time as Lay Supply was over, and Billy and Michelle returned to Moultrie to retire from teaching but not the ministry. The McCoy s were soon appointed to nearby Lenox United Methodist Church, where Billy would serve until his death. One of the lasting memories of Billy was his habit of giving out two-dollar bills, which he would specially request from the US Mint through his local bank. Connecting the value of two dollars in one note, Billy would give out the money and tell recipients that their lives had value because Jesus was in their hearts. This led to the preacher gaining the nickname Two Dollar Bill. At weddings, Billy would ask the bride and groom to each give him a dollar bill. He would return a two-dollar bill, symbolizing two becoming one in marriage. On November 27, 2017, the old teacher and preacher was removed from the pulpit by the Hand of God and welcomed to an eternal reward beyond his imagination. In addition to his loving wife, survivors include two sons, William Brasington Bo McCoy of Orange, Texas, and Alexander Morrison Alex McCoy and Patty of New Castle, Pennsylvania; step-son, Joseph Davidson Fowler and Cassidy of Moultrie; step-grandson, Jax Davidson Fowler; brothers, John McCoy, Jr., and Barbara of Winston Salem, North Carolina, and Rev. Robert McCoy and Toni of Moultrie; sister, Ann Lindell and Ollie of Jesup; grandson Hudson Frank McCoy; several nieces and nephews and other family members. He was also mourned by the people of Lenox, whom he had quickly come to know and love. On November 29, 2017, Billy experienced his final worship service in God s earthly Church. Presiding were his brother, Rev. Robert McCoy, Jr., and Rev. Steven Grantham, pastor of Moultrie First United Methodist Church. His earthly shell was cremated, and his ashes are held by his family.

Thomas Miram Jack Key July 2, December 8, 1917 Thomas Miram Jack Key was born in Adrian, Georgia, in 1922 to Morris and Bertha Key. They called him Jack after the death of an Uncle Jack shortly after his birth. All his life he loved fishing, basketball, and baseball. Early he came to faith in Jesus Christ and soon after felt called into Christian ministry. In the summer of 1939 at the age of seventeen, he was first licensed to preach. Once his moral and spiritual compass was set, he set out on life s journey and never once looked back. While attending Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky, he met Ruthanne Shockley (Miss Blue Eyes), the love of his life, to whom he was happily married for 67 years. After graduating from Asbury Theological Seminary in 1947, Jack served as an ordained pastor for the next five decades in the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. Pastoring churches in Washington County, Macon, Nashville, Cordele, Albany, Columbus, and Dublin, Jack and Ruthanne were loved deeply wherever they served. 515

72 Their ministry touched the lives of thousands of people with the faith, hope, and love that are found only in Jesus Christ. Retiring in 1988, rather than slowing down, Jack and Ruthanne were more active than ever, serving in various capacities in China, Mongolia, Mozambique, Russia, and Ecuador. In recent years, Brother Jack pastored Evergreen United Methodist Church (1495 Old Toomsboro Road, Dublin, Georgia). He frequently filled the pulpits of many different denominations in Dublin and throughout the region. Visiting the sick, comforting the hurting, sharing the Good News with the lost, and spreading the love of Christ in restaurants, stores, hospitals, and nursing homes made Jack and Ruthanne well-known personalities throughout Dublin. Some referred to Jack as the unofficial archbishop of Dublin. The city recognized Jack and Ruthanne s contribution to the community by naming them both Citizen of the Year recently. Brother Jack would readily concede that he was no one special, but he was grateful for certain precious gifts (like caring and wisdom) he had been given. At somewhere around 1300 funerals and up, Jack Key had officiated at more funerals than most ministers in the Dublin area. Jack stepped peacefully into heaven early Friday morning, December 8, 2017, at the age of 95. He is survived by three children: Evangeline Walmsley (Montgomery, Alabama), Stanley (Katy) Key (Wilmore, Kentucky), and Christina (John) Whitworth (Griffin, Georgia). He delighted in his 12 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. Jack s beloved Ruthanne preceded him in death, as did his four siblings: Woodruff (Woody) D. Key, Marjorie L.

Born with a love for music, Charles started his life as a radio broadcaster in Louisville, Georgia, and was named Mr. Dee Jay USA by the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. He recorded over 200 songs, and one of the great joys of his life was singing with his friends in the Solid Rock Group in Columbus, Georgia. He never left the music, but he did add preaching to his resume. He always believed his music was an integral part of his preaching and ministry. I first met him as the singing preacher from South Georgia! After joining the South Georgia Annual Conference in 1964, Charles preached and sang at Brewton Charge UMC, Newington UMC, Bloomingdale UMC, Butler UMC, Friendship UMC in Donalsonville, Reynolds Chapel UMC 517

He was President of the National Association of United Methodist Evangelists and awarded the prestigious Phillips Award. A few years later, he presented the Phillips Award to Franklin Graham. But his true love for over twentyfive years was the Navajo people who live in Arizona. He preached revivals, provided vehicles for Navajo ministers, sent students to school, built and repaired churches and homes, led mission teams, and trained the next generation for that ministry.

William Kenneth Bill York November 28, 1955 January 27, 2018 William Kenneth (Bill-Daddy-Papa) York was 62 when he passed away on Saturday, January 27, A true Hahira son at heart, Bill was born on November 28, 1955, in Albany, Georgia, to the late James O. and Melba Young York. Bill was survived by his wife, Margaret York, and two daughters and their husbands: Kristie and Lawrence Wiggins and Kassie and Jacob Dasher, along with four grandchildren: Jackson and Jonathan Wiggins and Conly and Aimee Dasher. There are several other beloved family members, countless friends, disciples, and a Super-Bud, Gary West, all of whom feel that life with Bill was an adventure, because you never knew whom you would meet or where you would go when hanging out with him. Bill worked tirelessly to support his family at Waller Heating and Air, faithfully served his King Jesus through various ministries including Kairos Prison Ministries and the Walk to Emmaus and through constant acts of love and service to all he met. Bill also joyfully led services and ministered as lay pastor of Naylor United Methodist Church. He was an avid Lowndes Viking football fan and a record-collecting music fanatic, and he boldly served God by serving others. He is best described by his daughter Kassie, Daddy was someone who truly tried to exemplify our Heavenly Father in a broken world. He lived, made mistakes, asked for forgiveness, had fun, made us laugh a lot, and pointed us to Jesus. I can only hope to have a disciple-turned-apostle story half as good as his. One of Bill s favorite phrases was Listen, Listen...Love, Love. He energetically listened, loved, lived, and served up to his last breath. His father called him home as his finished serving Communion at a boys Journey walk at Camp Tygart. There is not a more fitting way for this vivacious man to have entered Heaven. He was doing what he loved most, serving God by serving others. He called it J.O.Y. (Jesus first, Others next, Yourself last). Bill York s legacy of planting seeds of hope, love, and forgiveness continues. In September 2000 a designated fund was conceived for Bill; it is the Hahira United Methodist L.U.K.E. Fund. This fund was created to confirm his and 518

The family asks that condolences be conveyed at the McLane Funeral Home website or, if led, donations be sent to the L.U.K.E. Fund at Hahira United Methodist in honor of God s works through a willing servant. Submitted by Rev. Charles Whatley, a member of the Committee on Memoirs. Harold Bratton Smith, Jr. January 25, February 23, 2018 Harold B. Smith, Jr., was born on January 25, 1936, in Venton, Maryland, to hardworking parents who understood what life was like during the depression. They raised Harold to work and made sure that he always had everything he needed. They also taught him that surrendering his life to the Lord was the most important step he could ever take in life. Upon completion of high school, Harold joined the Air Force. He served four years and considered it a privilege to serve his country. The military service helped shape him in ways that he would later see as God s hand at work in his life. He spent 14 months in Korea and saw firsthand the poverty and hunger of those who needed help. It was difficult for him to see the children running in the snow barefooted. This was a world he had never known or experienced before and one that he would never forget. When Harold returned home from Korea, he was stationed in Texas, and it was there that he met Norma, a lady who stole his heart and agreed to spend the rest of her life as his bride. Soon after, they were blessed with a baby girl, Bernette and a son, Kevin. They were married for 60 years. He always gave her seven yellow roses as a symbol of her being his perfect bride. After earning a degree in Economics from the University of Maryland, Harold and Norma moved to Spokane, Washington, where Harold worked for the Rural Electrification Administration. They truly enjoyed living in such a beautiful area among wonderful people. From Spokane, they moved to Pennsylvania, where he continued to work in the rural electric program. In 1978, they grew tired of the winters in Pennsylvania and moved to Albany, Georgia, for Harold to work as a CEO for Flint Electric. But working for Flint Electric was not the real reason they moved to Albany. They moved to be near their first granddaughter, Karoline. It was not long before they found a home church, Avalon UMC, and fell in love with the warm and friendly people. Harold became involved in Bible study, teaching Sunday school, serving as Sunday School Superintendent, and working with missions. After his first mission trip to Kenya, he traveled to France, Panama, Chile, Belize, and Mexico to share Christian love and to be a helping hand for others. One of his last joys in later life was to serve as lay supply for Wenona UMC. While serving the church, he continued to do the Lord s work in a weekly jail ministry in the Albany area. He joyfully offered himself to share the love and grace of his Lord and Savior. Harold was amazed how God worked in the lives of the inmates, both young and old, as he shared the gospel. Harold died at the age of 82 on Friday, February 23, 2018, at Wilson Hospice House. Graveside services were held Tuesday, February 27, 2018, at 12:00 p.m. at Andersonville National Cemetery in Andersonville, Georgia. Rev. Debbie Cone officiated. Survivors include his wife, Norma Smith, of Leesburg; a daughter, Bernette Holt, and her husband, Stuart, of Macon; a daughter-in-law, Kristie Smith, of Leesburg; and a grandchild, Karoline Smith. Harold was preceded in death by his parents, Bratton and Helen Smith, and a son, Kevin D. Smith. Submitted by Rev. Debbie Cone at the request of the Committee on Memoirs. 519

After retiring from the United States Army, he became a high school principal, a social worker, and a mental health professional before answering God s call to the ministry. He attended Candler School of Theology, where he earned a Master of Divinity degree and became the much beloved Brother Beau, a full time ordained minister serving numerous congregations in the South Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church.

James Emlon Houseal, 87, of Moultrie, Georgia, died Friday, March 9, 2018, at Colquitt Regional Medical Center. He was preceded in death by his parents, William B. Houseal and Mary Sessions Houseal. Survivors include his wife of 57 years, Estelle Mary Palmer Houseal, of Moultrie, Georgia. Reverend Houseal was born October 12, 1930, in Birmingham, Alabama. He graduated from Battle Ground Academy in Franklin, Tennessee, in He joined the U.S. Army in 1950 and went to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, for Infantry Basic Training and then to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. In the latter part of 1952 he received orders to the Republic of Korea where he joined an outfit in or around The Reservoir. He recalled it didn t have any water but plenty of snow and ice. Jim served as a Forward Observer in direct support of the 7th Infantry Regiment around Pork Chop Hill. On one given day the hill was overrun, and the regiment won it back 16 times in hand-to-hand combat. The First Sergeant and Jim were captured by the Chinese and North Koreans but escaped 4 days later. Staff Sergeant Houseal rotated back to the states in 1953 and was honorably discharged in Fort Breckenridge, Kentucky. 520

77 He then returned to Alabama where he attended Auburn University from 1954 to 1955, transferring to Birmingham Southern College from 1955 to In June 1956 he joined the U.S. Navy, was stationed in Charleston, South Carolina, from 1956 to 1970 and served on board four different destroyers all out of Newport, Rhode Island. He was in Danang, Vietnam, from 1966 to 1967 working Shore Patrol. After two months he rode shotgun taking supplies to the Rock Pile. He stayed at sea nearly 14 years before going to the Naval Reserve Center in Columbus, Georgia, in the latter part of 1970, where he stayed until his retirement in 1975 as a Chief Boatswains Mate. From 1950 to 1975 he received the following 12 medals and unit citations: Navy Good Conduct with a Star, National Defense with Star, Korean Service Ribbon Four Stars, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with Star, United Nations Korean Service, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Korean War Service Medal, Army Presidential Unit Citation, Korean Presidential Unit Citation, Vietnam Presidential Unit Citation, and a Navy Combat Ribbon. Reverend Houseal said, Of all the places I have been, there is nothing like coming into port and seeing the American flag waving in the breeze and your wife waiting on the pier. He worked at TRW in Columbus, Georgia, eight years. The Lord called Jim to preach in 1984, and he preached for 34 years, serving many churches in South Georgia, especially in the Valdosta District. He was very active in the Emmaus Community, serving on many walks. Jim had a passion for helping young men know and follow Christ. Many of the Emmaus events at which he served were especially for young men in the formative years of their life. He was greatly loved and respected by them. Jim had a booming voice with which to preach the gospel and a heart just as big. Jim also helped the rural church and farming community dear to his heart, often walking into the field to pray with his parishioners. At his passing Rev. Houseal served at Tyson Memorial United Methodist Church. Funeral services were held at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 13, 2018, at Cobb Funeral Chapel with The Rev. Jimmy Voyles and The Rev.

Donald Willard Northrip September 9, 1931 March 11, 2018 To understand Dr. Donald Northrip s dedication to God and Country, look upon his father, Rev. Dwight O. Northrip. The elder Northrip was a Baptist minister and a Chaplain in the 659th Medical Clearing Company of the United States Army. He was responsible for the triage, battlefield treatment, spiritual care, and evacuation of the wounded in some of WWII s most horrible events including the Invasion of Normandy and the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp. After this brief introduction, it should not be a surprise to learn that young Donald was inspired to a life of service. His first career was the Security Service of the United States Air Force. As an intelligence officer, Donald would analyze the information sent in by his team of field communications specialists. (One of these field specialists would eventually trade in his Air Force Blues for a suit of black Johnny Cash.) After leaving the Air Force in 1958 after six years of service, Donald became a Professor of Music at United Methodist-related Oklahoma City University. Perhaps it was here that he first heard the Wesleyan message of God s incredible Grace. Or, perhaps, it was at one of the many Methodist churches where he served as a Minister of Music. Whether one or the other, God was beginning a new calling in Donald s life as the young musician continued to grow in education and love. His passion for learning would bring him to study at several institutions, including Oklahoma Baptist University, the University of Oklahoma, the University of Missouri, the University of Munich, and Candler School of Theology brought Donald to a new job at Georgia Southern University (then Georgia Southern College). Just four years later, he met Jonine Durrence. They would marry in 1974 and begin a life of ministry together. In the late 1970s, Donald would begin to discern the calling God had first placed on his heart some twenty years 521

78 before. He joined the newly-renamed United Methodist Church, attracted by John Wesley s classic teachings of God s transforming love. Others around Donald began to sense a call to the ministry, and a few, including his good friend Rev. Donald Sparks, helped him to nurture and develop that calling. In 1989, Donald answered and took a new place in God s Kingdom as a United Methodist pastor. Eleven years later, Jonine would answer her own message from God and would herself become a United Methodist minister. Donald served the Bethel/Surrency Charge, the Hagan/Daisy/Eason s Chapel Charge, and Newington. (His wife would later serve at Oliver, Blue Springs, and the Rocky Ford/Goloid/Oak Grove Charge.) After decades of powerful service through music and word, the Lord called Donald home on March 11, His Celebration of Life was held the next day at Statesboro s First United Methodist Church. The Rev. Jimmy Cason officiated this final service. His earthly remains were cremated, and his family holds the ashes alongside those of his beloved Jonine. At a future date, both will be scattered in the Frederica River off Epworth-by-the-Sea. Submitted by Rev. Chris Shoemaker, a member of the Committee on Memoirs. James Wheeler Jimmy Chester, Jr. September 20, 1925 March 13, 2018 James Wheeler Jimmy Chester, Jr., was born September 20, 1925, in Whigham, Georgia, to James Wheeler, Sr., and Pauline Sanders Chester. In the Great Depression he experienced the importance of family and faith. At age 17 Jimmy left the family farm to serve his country in World War II, eventually joining the Merchant Marine and experiencing the world, especially in the Pacific. After the war, he enrolled in Emory University, supported by the GI Bill, and worked in an Atlanta haberdashery. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy in 1951 and a Master of Divinity from Emory s Candler School of Theology in He was admitted to the South Georgia Annual Conference On Trial in 1953; ordination as Elder in Full Connection followed in He served appointments to Dixie-Pidcock; St. Mary s Road, Columbus; Whitefield, Savannah; Edgewood, Columbus; Hawkinsville; Sandersville; Waycross First; Isle of Hope, Savannah; Bloomfield, Macon; Hinesville; and Robert McIntire, Savannah. At Candler, Jimmy planned to enter the mission field in Asia, where he had seen a need for the Gospel. However, his aunt introduced him to Carolyn Bright Dixon of Thomasville; his plans redirected. They married in August Carolyn supported Jimmy in his ministry, as did their daughters, Rebecca and Cathie. Carolyn made it possible for Jimmy to enjoy a sabbatical year of study at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1964, along with travel in Europe, Russia, and the Holy Land. After Carolyn s untimely death in 1978, Jimmy completed training as a Pastoral Counselor at Emory University, followed by pastoral appointments. Retiring in 1992, he served as Pastoral Counselor at Candler Hospital in Savannah and often as guest minister at the Korean United Methodist Church. As a pastor, Jimmy was known as a personable, intelligent servant of the Lord. He drew on his wide experiences in his preaching. His winsome sense of humor stayed with him even during the last months of his life. He loved reading great theologians and seeking the Lord through arts, letters, and music. Keenly aware of the social changes taking place in the 1960s, he worked to preserve the future of the Church during those turbulent years. On September 15, 1983, he married Janet Groggans, a parishioner at Isle of Hope, Savannah. They enjoyed many years of mutual devotion. Jimmy continued his keen interest in current events, gardening, the coast, great preaching, and great music, plus lifelong charitable concern for Emory University, the United Methodist Church, and those he considered to be widows and orphans. At his residence at Marshview Senior Living by Kindred Hospice, Jimmy Chester peacefully entered heaven s rest on March 13, 2018, after a brief decline. A private family memorial service was held March 31, 2018, with Rev. Mike Ricker officiating. Ashes will be interred at Forest Lawn Memory Gardens in Savannah. Fox and Weeks of Savannah handled arrangements. 522

79 Jimmy is survived by his daughters, Rebecca Chester Hajiran (Dr. Homan), Wheeling, West Virginia; and Dr. Cathie L. Chester, Purchase, New York; 5 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson; his wife, Janet, her 3 children and 3 grandchildren; and his sister Helen Early of Clearwater, Florida, and her 2 children.

Terry was born January 1, 1933, in Stapleton, Georgia, the son of the late Eva Cato Terry and the late Clinton Sanders Terry, Sr. He graduated first from Asbury College, then received his Master s from Emory University and later his doctorate from San Francisco Theological Seminary. He was appointed to Asbury in 1955; Garfield, 1956; Northview, Warner Robins, 1960; Associate, First Albany, 1965; Butler, 1967; Quitman, 1970; First Swainsboro, 1976; Riverside, Macon, 1981; Wynnton, Columbus, 1987; and officially retired as District Superintendent for the Dublin District in Even after retiring, Frank continually filled in and served when called upon, including serving as senior pastor for two additional churches in an interim capacity. He loved God s people, and he loved the United Methodist Church. A celebration was held with a full crowd at Riverside United Methodist Church in Macon, Georgia, with his present minister, Rev. Chip Strickland, Rev. Lynn Martin, Dr. Laudis H. Rick Lanford, Rev. Steve Waldorf, and Bishop R. Lawson Bryan participating in his homegoing. Frank s mother and home church provided his early religious training, which he carried into various ministries he participated in during college. He spoke privately of his powerful conviction and call to serve during this time, and he never questioned the path of service God set before him. Frank and Charlotte, his first wife, raised a family of three boys, John, Doug, and Jeff, while in the ministry and gave themselves fully to the Christian education of children, youth, and adults as they ministered in the churches he was called to serve. He had a sly sense of humor (as his Emory roommates will attest), enjoyed a good story, and loved nothing more than to share a laugh with his family and friends. He was an accomplished cook, enjoyed gardening and flowers, had a deep appreciation for beauty in all forms, and had broad creative talents that he indulged over his lifetime that culminated in dozens of stained glass creations he shared with family and friends. Frank loved good music and was an accomplished pianist and strong vocalist who could be heard leading congregational singing with good courage as admonished by John Wesley. With his many talents, Frank remained throughout his life a humble servant of God and his fellow man who loved deeply and was unwavering in his faith, trust and confidence in his Savior. Always ready to preach and serve, he often preached revivals and filled the pulpit for young ministers when called upon. He was quiet but certain, softspoken but firm, especially when it came to standing up for the Methodist understanding of grace, forgiveness, and the power of the Holy Spirit. He married Hazel Webb Terry, and in their retirement years they were still just as busy in the life of the church visiting, teaching, and encouraging, especially those in their later years, and ever zealous for God.

80 Spouses of Clergy: As of March 31, 2018 Joel Bennett Avera September 7, 1960 April 17, 2017 Mr. Joel Bennett Avera was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to Bennett Howard and Shirley Haymon Avera of Wrens, Georgia, on Wednesday, September 7, 1960, and he was fifty-six years of age when he walked through heaven s gates on Monday, April 17, He graduated from Thomasville High School in 1979 and went to Thomas Technical Institute where he graduated in 1993 with a degree in electrical and mechanical drafting and design. He was an engineer draftsman for over forty years at U. S. Filter in Thomasville, Georgia, and at Savannah Tank and Manufacturing in Garden City, Georgia. But work was not his only passion. Joel loved his family, and he believed God gave us the example for, and the gift of, a faithful Father. He often said he came into the world with nothing and would leave with nothing. But he, as a brother, husband, dad, papa, uncle, cousin, nephew, friend, and faithful servant of God, actually left with quite a legacy of family and ministry. As he began his journey to heaven, he left behind a wife and Pastor, Donna Croley Avera; daughters Renia and Casey Hullander and Rachel Clements; granddaughters Kinsey, Kaitlynn and Clair Clements; a brother, Stephen and Catherine Avera; an uncle, Lester Avera; and cousins, Betsy and Charles Milburn. Joel also loved the Lord as a member of Corinth United Methodist Church where he served as a deacon, an R. A. Director, a Sunday school teacher, a choir member, and a praise band guitarist and by supporting his wife, who is a pastor. He also supported the Heritage Foundation and Focus on the Family, and his Biblical hero was the apostle Paul. And now he s marching through heaven, singing with his heavenly family a song of sweetest praise in glory land! Joel was not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the precious blood of Jesus shed for our freedom, and he was overwhelmed with the love of God. We might all remember his example of praise as he would raise his hands in adoration to our Heavenly Father. He often described himself as a patriot who loves, supports, and defends what he believes, a person who believes in and defends the truth found in faith, family, and freedom. Family and friends celebrated Joel s life on Thursday, April 20, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. at Corinth United Methodist Church on 1989 Meeks Road in Kite, Georgia. He was buried in the church cemetery, and the pallbearers were Wesley Croley, Wally Croley, Wade Croley, Rick Croley, D. J. Croley, and Jonathan Wright. Joel would want us to remember that the things that have happened to me have really helped the progress of the gospel My deep desire and hope is that I shall never fail in my duty, but that at all times, and especially right now, I shall be full of courage, so that with my whole being I shall bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. For what is life? To me, it is Christ. Death, then, will bring more. Philippians 1:12, (GNT) Submitted by Rev. Charles Whatley, a member of the Committee on Memoirs.

She was born on April 15, 1920, to John Henry and Donnie Mae Kight Marcum, although for 92 of her years she celebrated her birthday on April 14 until a doctor s receptionist asked her to get her birthday straightened out. It was causing problems with her insurance, and she then discovered an old original birth certificate with the April 15th date on it signed by the doctor. 524

Helen Waters Pulliam November 19, 1939 June 1, 2017 Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble. Psalm 119:165 (NRSV) Helen Waters was born into the tiny community of Bay Branch, Georgia. She began her education at the local Bay Branch School and continued through Screven County High School. She trained in telecommunications and became a career PBX operator managing in-house communications systems for Southern Bell and the early operations of Plant Vogel. Raised a dedicated Southern Baptist, Helen had an unquenchable thirst for the Word of God. Her longing to better know the Bible led her to return to school in her forties, majoring in Biblical Studies at Brewton Parker College. Then living and working in Vidalia, Helen caught the attention of a Baptist preacher named Lee Pulliam as the two were leaving Sunday morning service at Vidalia First Baptist Church. Lee caught sight of Helen s stunning green eyes and took notice. Uneventful months went by, but Lee couldn t forget those eyes or the lady possessing them. He finally invited Helen to a local fish fry only for the event to be cancelled at the last minute. Undaunted, Lee and Helen decided to turn the disappointment into the chance for a real date. Over a dinner of prime rib, shrimp, and key lime pie, they began to get to know each other. Six months later, on September 1, 1984, Helen and Lee were standing before the altar of Temple Hill Baptist Church. After honeymooning in Savannah, the couple resumed their lives together. After a long career in Baptist pulpits, God began to lead the Pulliams toward the United Methodist Church. Lee had retired from preaching before he met Helen to become an insurance agent, but God saw potential to return to the local church. Helen and Lee began a new work together in the North Georgia Conference at Deering United Methodist Church. Under the advice and mentoring of South Georgia Conference District Superintendent Frank Terry, the couple took an appointment on the Twin City/New Beulah Charge in Seven years of service as a 525

82 Part-Time Local Pastor followed across four South Georgia charges, until Lee officially retired from the pulpit in But the Pulliams were far from finished in ministry. In 2002, Lee was given a chance to serve in retirement, and he and Helen found a new church home at Sharpe s Chapel United Methodist Church. This appointment lasted sixteen wonderful years. Helen found a personal ministry in delivering home-cooked food to the elderly and sick and even preached for two Women s Sunday services. Her love for both the Bible and God s music led her to teach Sunday School and sing in the choir. She also amassed a substantial collection of Christian records, tapes, and CDs. But our earthly lives are temporary, and the believer must eventually make the transition to Glory. Helen had developed heart disease and was under treatment in Savannah. After open heart surgery there, the doctors could not restart Helen s heart. She was flown to Emory University Hospital, where the cardiac team got her heart beating again. But the stresses of surgery and infection were simply too much, and Helen made her eternal transition on June 1, Along with her beloved husband, surviving were her daughter, Diane Hinninger, and granddaughter, Lauren Hinninger, both of Buffalo, New York. She returned to be celebrated and buried at New Beulah United Methodist Church, just a few miles from the Pulliam home. Rev. David Donnan of Twin City United Methodist Church and Rev. Donna Ashworth Jordan retired former pastor of New Beulah officiated her final worship service. Helen s love for animals was recorded in a cat engraved on her tombstone. Her love for her church and community is engraved on the hearts of all who knew her. Submitted by Rev. Chris Shoemaker, a member of the Committee on Memoirs.

She was born in Cuthbert, Georgia, on September 25, 1925, to the late 526

83 Clarence and Emmie Thomas Atkins. She was a member of Wesley United Methodist Church at Frederica on St. Simons Island. Clarice Robertson s whole life was that of dedication to others. She was born into a Methodist family in Cuthbert. Educated in two Methodist colleges, Andrew and LaGrange, she married The Reverend Vernard Robertson, a United Methodist minister, on June 24, She served beside her husband in each of his pastoral appointments in South Georgia. Together they served Aldersgate UMC in Savannah, Claxton First UMC, Swainsboro First UMC, and Americus First UMC.

She served as a speaker for young adult conferences, district meetings, Day Apart retreats, and other church activities. For 18 years she served as official hostess of Epworth By The Sea. There were few occasions when guests visited Epworth that Mrs. Robertson was not present. She greeted people with a loving smile, a warm personality, and a sweet spirit. Clarice and her late husband Vernard had great love and passion for Epworth. Not only did they serve its visitors with sincere grace, they also helped to enlarge the grounds with new buildings. The Robertson Inn is named after them. It is inconceivable to think of Epworth without giving thought to the contributions made by the Robertsons. Clarice loved being Mema to her grandchildren and great-grands. They knew her as the one who made them feel special, the one who called their name in prayer, and the one who was always there for them.

Much of their free time was spent at Lake Junaluska, and in later years they enjoyed staying longer. Junaluska allowed them to see fellow Methodists and enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery in the south. Still, their hearts were always deeply rooted here in the conference. They were known and loved by many. Mary Eva was living in Louisville, Georgia, at the time of her death. Louisville UMC was but one of the many churches she and Ed served together.

Esther Elizabeth Williams Boggs February 20, 1944 October 27, 2017 My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. Psalm 84:2, 10 (NRSV) There is an art to being a Person of God. The brush is not ours, but in the hands of the Artist of All Creation. Through the believer, the disciple, the friend, He paints the landscape of Grace. And through His living art, souls are drawn to a love, a lightness, a purpose a place in the Masterpiece. Esther Elizabeth Williams Boggs was such a Person of God. Through her dedication and willingness, countless souls saw the beauty of the image of the Artist. Born in Waynesboro to a family living in nearby Vidette, Esther began life as a farmer s daughter. Her father, George Frank Williams, had come to Vidette an orphan, worked his way up to foreman of a local farm, and married Marie Shepherd. Through hard work and frugal living, the Williamses were able to buy 100 acres of land for a farm of their own. At the time of George s death, the Williamses owned and farmed more than thirty times the land of that original purchase. Young Esther learned the values of her parents by experience. She was a good student, strong worker (even driving pecan trucks to market at the illegally young age of thirteen), and a faithful member of the Vidette Methodist Church. Esther s success in education would carry her through Vidette Elementary School, Waynesboro High, and finally Augusta Technical College, where she majored in business. This led to jobs at Georgia Power, Webcot Gins 528

85 of Gough, Georgia, and eventually to a fourteen-year career as a Manager at Waynesboro s AGRO Corporation. In 1986, Esther was introduced to an industrial pipefitter and Marine Corps veteran named David Boggs. The couple quickly connected and were married on December 10, 1987, at Piney Grove Baptist Church of Gerard, Georgia, where Esther was a member. Like her, David was also a Methodist turned Baptist, and the call of their former denomination was strong. Together, they returned to their Wesleyan upbringings at Vidette United Methodist Church and soon transferred to Louisville UMC. It was at Louisville that a spirit of Christian service and ministry moved strongly through the couple. David sang in the choir and taught Sunday School, and Esther participated in every event and ministry she could. All of this was perhaps preparation for a tremendous step in their Christian lives in 2009, David was called into the ministry. For the rest of her life, Esther would serve beside David as the pastoral family of the Moxley, Bartow, and Parker s Chapel United Methodist churches. Among her many lasting contributions to the charge is a basket ministry bringing small baskets of personal items to those in the hospital or nursing homes. Esther s powerful faith and dedication to her Christ and church would sustain her even through the effects of a devastating stroke. Even as her health began its final decline, she would literally count her blessings out loud. On October 27, 2017, Esther Boggs saw her faith realized at the feet of her Savior. Awaiting in Glory were her parents and her granddaughter, Celsia Livingston. Her earthly form was laid to rest on October 30, 2017, in Burke Memorial Gardens in Waynesboro. The Celebration of Life preceded at the Louisville UMC, where her husband, David, and Dr. Peter Vermeulen presided over Esther s final worship service. Submitted by Rev. Chris Shoemaker, a member of the Committee on Memoirs.

There are also three grandchildren, Caroline Pharr, Jackson Conoley, and Dylan Conoley! H. L. was often asked, How did you & Vera stay happily married for 60 years? His standard response was, Vera and I decided before marriage that I would make ALL the Big Decisions and she would make ALL the Small Decisions. We have now purchased ten homes and thirty cars and raised four kids; but there has not been one single Big Decision to be made, as of yet! His daughter Lynn said, Vera was H.L. s EVERY NEED! PERIOD! But God has given us all a mountain to climb, and we are committed to making it over this mountain, just as Vera would want us to do. We are broken, but we know that ALL of us will be rejoicing with her again one day. Vera Turner Pharr was 80 years old when she died on Tuesday, November 21, 2017, in Thomasville, Georgia.

87 Eulalie Massee Woeltjen April 27, 1939 January 10, 2018 Eulalie Massee Woeltjen was born April 27, 1939, in Fitzgerald, Georgia. She moved her residence from earth to heaven on January 10, A celebration of her life was held at Central United Methodist Church in Fitzgerald, Georgia, on Sunday, January 14, Those officiating at her service were The Reverend Jim McClendon, The Reverend Dr. Richard Wright, and The Reverend B.J. Funk. Eulalie was 78 years old at the time of her death. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education from Georgia State College for Women and taught school in both music and first grade for 35 years. Music was her gift, and using it was her service. She sang her first solo in her home church, Central United Methodist in Fitzgerald, at age seven. Eulalie sang in or directed choirs for over seventy years. She was named Fitzgerald-Ben Hill County s Citizen of the Year in An active member of the Nathaniel Abney Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, she was also a member of chapter 1138 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Eulalie married the love of her life, The Reverend Donald Albert Woeltjen, on Friday, September 13, Together, they have five children Don, Jr., Betsy, Kevin, Massee, and William Duke. In the book of Ruth, Boaz says these beautiful words to Ruth: All my fellow townsmen know that you are a woman of noble character. These words fit Eulalie. Eulalie had no idea the influence she had on so many, many people, adults as well as her first-grade students. If she had a major in life, it was her gift of encouragement. She lifted people. She applauded people. She believed in the worth of each person she knew. She was indeed a woman of noble character. Eulalie mixed her magnetic personality with her kindness. She knew how to make someone feel special. One of our church members said of her, She was Jesus to me. Central United Methodist was blessed for many years by her beautiful dramatic soprano voice. But, it wasn t just her voice they loved. It was the spirit they saw in her as she sang; it was that smile that stayed with her throughout her solo; and it was her countenance that told them she believed the words she was singing. Jesus had been her Savior and Lord for many years, and when she stood to sing, they saw His presence. This past winter, Eulalie s health began to decline. Would she and her son, Massee, be able to sing their traditional Christmas duet? The people of Central UMC all prayed, and it was their great joy to witness their duet one last time. Ring The Bells has found a place of permanence in the hearts of Central s members, and all the time, but especially at Christmas time, they will remember Eulalie. Submitted by Rev. B.J. Funk at the request of the Committee on Memoirs.
