65 South Georgia Conference Memoirs Clergy: As of March 31, 2017 Edwin Bryan O Neil August 21, 1931 April 10, 2016 I d rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way. And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds, For to see good put in action is what everybody needs. Edgar Albert Guest, Sermons We See Edwin Bryan O Neil was truly one of those preachers best of all. For he lived a life of action, indeed action in courage, endurance, faithfulness, and love. Born in Lake, MS, the O Neils lived near Laurel in the small town of Sharon at the beginning of Edwin s childhood. After relocating a few times due to his father s job, Edwin graduated in 1950 from Pachuta High School. In 1953, he was drafted into the Army and sent into the last of the Korean War. Arriving in Korea just two weeks before the signing of the armistice, Edwin s combat training was redirected into communications, and he helped to set up command structure for the DMZ. After his Honorable Discharge, Edwin returned home to practice his considerable woodworking skills in a Pascagoula cabinet shop. During this time, he went to see the 1955 movie A Man Called Peter a biography of the late Scottish-American preacher Peter Marshall. During the movie, God called Edwin to the ministry; he became a Local Preacher in the Mississippi Conference. About this time, Edwin met and married Janelle Ann Ryder. The couple was first appointed to the Batson Charge, then to Edwards Street in Hattiesburg, the Waynesboro Circuit, and then the Seminary Charge just north of Hattiesburg. All the while Edwin was earning his degree in Elementary Education at William Carey College. While at the Seminary Charge, the young family s courage and faith would be severely tested. Janelle witnessed an abduction committed by notorious Klan leader Cecil Victor Sessum. Her decision to testify led to threats against the O Neils and a suspicious collision with a runaway car involving Janelle and their three-year old son, James. Coming to his family s rescue, Edwin tore the door off of their car with his bare hands to free his wife and son. Janelle was unbowed and testified against the Klansman. Yet God brought a blessing into this time of trial son Eric Patrick, born in After four years of service in their next charge of East Columbia, and more Klan threats due to Janelle s support of desegregation, the family decided in 1973 to move to Thomaston, GA closer to Candler School of Theology s Course of Study Program. Edwin and Janelle both served as teachers in Upson County, and Edwin transferred into the North Georgia Conference in At that Annual Conference he received an appointment to serve the then- Culloden/Rogers Charge. In 1976, he began his studies at Candler. In 1979, Edwin gave up teaching to minister full time in the South Georgia Conference serving the Faceville Charge near Bainbridge. Edwin was able to secure the connections and funding for a new parsonage during his time in Faceville. There, the family had one final experience with the Klan when Edwin was politely asked to say the invocation for a Klan rally in the field across the street from the parsonage. He declined. In 1985, his Course of Study completed, Edwin was ordained Elder and appointed to Omega. He would also serve the Twiggs County Charge, Cairo Circuit, Pavo, and the Trinity/Reynolds Chapel Charge near Donalsonville. Edwin retired in 1996, and he and Janelle returned home to Quitman, Mississippi. There he spent much time with his family, walked three miles a day, and operated a home woodshop. He returned to preaching at the Poplar Springs church near Waynesboro. Eventually, a declining voice and lymphoma took him from the pulpit. With God s help, Edwin defeated the cancer but his voice could not be repaired. Age and time took their inevitable toll, and Edwin stood before his Lord on April 10, He left on his final journey surrounded by his family. His Homegoing service was held on April 13 at Quitman First UMC. Revs. Hiram Coker and Mike Hollingsworth officiated. His mortal remains were interred in Quitman s Odd Fellow s Cemetery.

66 Samuel Matthias Clark, Jr. September 28, May 4, 2016 Samuel Matthias Clark, Jr., died on May 4, He was born in Gainesville, GA, on September 28, 1932, and was the son of the late Samuel Matthias Clark, Sr., and Mildred Palmour Clark. He is survived by his wife, Betty Claire Manning Clark, of Rabun Gap, GA, and a son, David Michael Clark, of Portland, OR. Always known as Sammy, he grew up in Macon and graduated from Lanier High School. He received his B.A. degree from Emory University in 1954, leaving a stellar academic and leadership record in which he was named to Phi Beta Kappa and the Senior Honor Society. He received a Master s degree in English at Princeton University and a Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary. Turning down many academic offers, Sammy returned to the South Georgia Conference in 1958 and was appointed to Brookfield, a three-church circuit in Tift County, where he earned the respect and love of the churches and community. In 1961 he married Betty Claire Manning. In 1962 they moved to Savannah where Sammy was appointed as the pastor of the newly formed Inner City Methodist Church. Their son, David, was born during this time. The congregation was meant to be a racially inclusive church in a very racially divided community, a difficult task. However, because of his effective 12-year ministry, Sammy received the highest honor a Savannah citizen can receive, the Oglethorpe Award. Feeling a call to a wider mission field, the Clark family was sent as missionaries to Peru in Living conditions were harsh, the political climate was threatening, and earthquakes were unsettling. However, Sammy had some moving and meaningful experiences that later became moving and meaningful illustrations in his remarkable sermon barrel. After three tough years the family returned home. Without Sammy s knowledge, Bishop Cannon transferred him to the North Georgia Conference and appointed him to Trinity UMC in downtown Atlanta. It was an urban traditional church with a stable congregation. Under Sammy s servant leadership, the congregation developed a ministry to street people, alcoholics, and drug addicts while conducting Sunday Services with unique, compelling, and relevant preaching. As always, creative new ministries emerged, and people who had previously had no champion found in Sammy a source of faith, hope and love. Sammy s final appointment was as pastor of Allen Memorial UMC at Oxford, GA, and as Campus Chaplain at Oxford College of Emory University. After three years, Sammy s campus ministry grew to the point that he became the full-time chaplain and a member of the faculty at Oxford. It turned out that this was the ministry for which all of his previous experiences had prepared him. Countless numbers of Oxford alums who saw Jesus in Sammy are today living changed lives because of the influence of his ministry during his 16 fruitful years as Chaplain. The funeral service was held at Allen Memorial UMC in Oxford, GA, on May 9, There Sammy was remembered as the epitome of a Servant Leader through the testimony of peers and former students. Burial was in the Oxford Historical Cemetery in Oxford. Submitted by Rev. Dr. Donald M. Kea at the request of the Committee on Memoirs Bernard Keith Henry August 16, May 6, 2016 Bernard Keith Henry was born on August 16, 1927, to Hugh Fred and Mabel Prince Henry in Augusta, GA. The family was active in St. Luke United Methodist Church where Bernard attended MYF and served as president. He felt the call to ministry at the age of 24 while recuperating from tuberculosis. He received an undergraduate degree from Mercer University, a Master of Divinity from Candler School of Theology and was ordained as an Elder in

67 He faithfully served Christ in the following appointments in North Georgia: South Lincoln, Milledgeville Circuit, Flippen, Cedar Grove, Danielsville, Dunson in LaGrange, and Gray. In South Georgia he served: Liberty in Macon, Reynolds/Crowell, Centerville, Soperton, Wadley, Wrightsville First, Harmony, Centenary/Dexter, and Alamo, retiring in He served Dexter 24 years in retirement. Bernard and his wife, Lois, worked as a team and were greatly loved. Bernard had a keen mind and a caring heart and loved to preach and sing. Lois was a dedicated school teacher, active in each church and the United Methodist Women. They have been dedicated also as parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Their lingering heartbreak was the early death of their daughter, Tina Henry Deloach. Their current family consists of Keith and Sarah Henry and Kaylee and Spencer Henry of Alpharetta, GA; and Melissa and Christopher Black, Alexis, Ethan, and Natalie Black of Newnan, GA. After retirement in 2015, Bernard related to the Pine Forest UMC Charge Conference, and Lois became a member. They were both regular in worship and rotated as teachers of the Ben F. Williams Sunday School Class. In 2016 he became seriously ill.

68 James Gaston Pollock July 9, August 10, 2016 Gaston was born July 9, 1931, in Mitchell County, GA. As a devoted young man, he attended and graduated from Young Harris College and Birmingham Southern College. In further preparation for his ministry, he earned his Master of Theology degree from Candler School of Theology at Emory University. Though he entered the retired status after his pastoral ministry, he continued serving on staff at St. Luke UMC, Columbus, as the Director of the Samaritan Fund Outreach. He served in this capacity for 18 years. Sharing his pastoral ministry was his dear wife of 62 years, Annette Sanders. He and Annette married in They first met as active church members at Hamp Stevens UMC, Columbus. Their love began in the church and continued through a beautiful, caring ministry of over 44 years. Gaston and Annette were blessed with two daughters, Angie and Jane. They also have four grandchildren and a great-grandson and great-granddaughter. The Pollock parsonage family served several churches, including the Marion Circuit, Brinson Circuit, Attapulgus, Jamestown in Waycross, Associate at Albany First, Whitfield in Savannah, St. John in Columbus, Byron, Ingleside in Macon, and Striplin Terrace, also in Columbus. He retired from serving Bloomfield UMC in Macon. Gaston and Annette immersed themselves in ministry following retirement. Active members of St. Luke UMC, they participated in many capacities and served through many ministries. Gaston also volunteered with Respite Care, Meals on Wheels, and the chaplaincy at Callaway Gardens Chapel for 18 years. Gaston and Annette loved the beauty of God s creation at Callaway Gardens. He believed in being a committed member of the community through the most active civic club in the town he served. These included the Lions Club, Kiwanis Club, and Exchange Club. He used his own physical adversity by volunteering to help with cancer research at the University of Arizona for 15 years. This selfless act was indicative of the kind of man he was. Gaston loved working outdoors, as was evident in his hobbies. He loved to garden and helped to create a large bird sanctuary in his large back yard. People were amazed at the number of hummingbirds he attracted to that sanctuary. One can t help but be reminded of St. Francis of Assisi s love of wildlife, especially the birds out of his love for God s creatures. He was also a great fan of America s pastime, baseball, especially of the Atlanta Braves. When Gaston passed, he was wearing a Braves cap. Those of us acquainted with Gaston remember him as a devoted Christian, a lover of the church, and a man with a great sense of humor. Laughter is its own form of courage, and Gaston never lost his contagious humor. Many will remember that humor in his retirement speech as he used his recent struggle with skin cancer to joyfully make us chuckle. He was a beloved pastor to his people. In the words of Annette, He never said an unkind word about anyone. Rev. Gaston Pollock passed into glory on August 10, 2016, at age 85. Among Gaston s final words just before passing into glory was his telling statement, My purpose on earth is over. Indeed, he would hear, Well done, my good and faithful servant. The celebration of his life was held on August 13 at St. Luke UMC in Columbus with Rev. Robert Beckum officiating. Burial followed at Park Hill Cemetery in Columbus. Submitted by Rev. Dr. Craig Rikard, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Annie Louise Johnson July 11, 1922 September 15, 2016 Annie Louise was born in Travelers Rest, SC, on July 11, She was the fifth child of James Elmer and Mattie Parker Clark. She grew up on a farm during the depression. Her family attended Jackson Grove Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which was part of the Travelers Rest Circuit. At an early age, she could be found teaching Sunday school, cleaning up the church, and attending special worship services when held. It is said that she received the call to preach at age six when her sisters found her preaching to the farm animals from a tree stump near the barn instead of chopping cotton with them. 529

69 Since it was before women had the right to be ordained in ministry, Annie Louise set her sights on being a Director of Christian Education. In pursuit of her desire to be a church worker, she attended Spartanburg Methodist College, Furman University, and Scarritt College for Christian Workers. In the summer of 1945, she traveled with the Southeastern Jurisdiction Youth Caravan visiting churches in Georgia and Florida leading youth week activities for local churches. In the fall of 1945 she was invited by Rev. G.N. Rainey to join the staff at Trinity Methodist Church in Waycross, GA, as the educational worker. It was while working at Trinity that she met B. Morris Johnson, a member of the church. They were married on August 29, Annie Louise went from being a paid staff member to being a volunteer worker in the church and remained a volunteer until In the fall of 1962 Rev. Bruce Wilson invited Annie Louise to join the staff at First Methodist Church in Waycross as the Director of Christian Education. As her son David was preparing to attend Garrett Theological Seminary, Annie Louise made the decision to get her license to preach. After she completed the course, mother and son were presented their licenses to preach by Bishops Moore, Smith, and Cannon during the service to dedicate the new sanctuary of Waycross First in In the fall of 1974 the death of the pastor at Gilchrist Park UMC created an opening of a charge that needed to be filled. Annie Louise was offered the opportunity to fill the pulpit until someone could be found. She refused the offer. Instead, she countered with staying until annual conference the next year. At that time, if the church did not want her to return, she would accept that decision. She served Gilchrist Park for seven years. Annie Louise was ordained a Deacon and admitted to the South Georgia Conference as an Associate Member in 1979, fulfilling a lifelong dream to be an ordained clergy person. She served on various conference committees and was a Trustee of Epworth by the Sea for a number of years. She served the West Green Circuit and Manor Circuit. She retired in 1989 and returned to First UMC in Waycross, serving as their retired associate pastor until Annie Louise was the first woman to serve a station church. She was also the first female Deacon to retire from the South GA Conference. Annie Louise died on September 15, 2016, in Charlotte, NC. At the time of her death, she was survived by her husband of 69 years, Morris; sons, Lem (Del) of Milledgeville, GA, David (Susan), of Charlotte, NC, Mark (Amy) of Kissimmee, FL, and Alan (Trish) of Mooresville, NC; six grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. On September 18, Rev. Barry Giddens and Rev. Bill Ebener, a nephew, officiated the service at Waycross First. Annie Louise is interred in the Oakland Cemetery in Waycross. Music Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements. Submitted by Rev. David C. Johnson at the request of the Committee on Memoirs David Keith Willett January 20, 1959 September 25, 2016 I try to increase the power God has given me to see the best in everything and everyone, and make that Best a part of my life. Helen Keller, Optimism David Keith Willett s memorial could have been written long ago. It would have been a short story of the brief life of a little boy born with two deformed and barelyfunctioning kidneys. It would have been recanted over a tiny coffin next to a tiny grave under, perhaps, a tiny stone. It would have. Except that it wasn t. For God had other plans. On January 20, 1959, David was born in Louisville, KY, into a medical nightmare. The many surgeries he endured six operations before he was three and near-constant medical supervision could have crushed his young spirit. But even at less than three years old, David showed a strength and courage that would define his life. He found a way to overcome the obstacles and find other paths to his goals. Medically barred from all contact sports, David became a student trainer and sports statistician, earning him a varsity jacket and letter. He developed his health and athleticism through weightlifting advancing enough to eventually work as a trainer. David became a drummer in the school band and rose through the ranks of the Boy Scouts. He made and kept friends easily. All of this David accomplished despite chronic pain. Along the way the 530

70 family lived in Bardstown, Danville, and Lexington all the time keeping connected to their devout faith through the Baptist Church. David s parents, Art and Sylvia, gave of themselves to David in a most literal way. His father donated a kidney to David when he was just fifteen. At thirty-two, his father s kidney failed, and his mother donated one of hers. That kidney would last David twenty-five years. With the love and total support of his parents and their kidneys David graduated from college in 1977 and enrolled in Pikeville College (now the University of Pikeville), earning a degree in Business. This led to jobs in banking and management, but David was unfulfilled. He had a passion for history and wanted to teach, so he returned to the college to gain a second degree, this time in teaching. And so, a new career began as a substitute history teacher, leading David to several area schools. It was during this time that David became a part of the United Methodist Church. Eventually, work took him to the high school in Nicholasville, KY very close to Asbury Theological Seminary. God used the proximity of the seminary and his long-time devoted involvement in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to call and attract David to yet another occupation this time, the job that God had made him for. Nearing the completion of his M.Div. degree, David encountered a visiting pastor from the South Georgia Conference. David Tart, the Senior Pastor of Wilmington Island United Methodist Church, was at Asbury interviewing potential Associate Pastors. The two Davids connected, and the now Rev. Willett made the move from Kentucky to Savannah, GA. Following seven years of service as the Associate Pastor of Wilmington Island, David was appointed to Folkston upon his ordination as Elder. Five years later, he was moved to Millen. He began a wonderful ministry there, but David s years of medical struggles had worn down his earthly body. In 2015, David was placed on medical leave, and on September 25, 2016, his pain and trials ended forever. Even the Mayo Clinic his caregivers since he was three years old could do no more for him. It was time to rest in the arms of our Savior. It was time, at last, for his memorial to be written. David Keith Willett s life was celebrated with laughter and music on September 1, 2016, in the church of his first appointment, Wilmington Island. The Revs. James Sapp and Jim Rush officiated. Celebrating together were his mother; brothers, Scott and Doug; and their families. David chose cremation for the disposition of his mortal frame, and his ashes were scattered in the grass in front of the Strickland Auditorium at Epworth by the Sea on St. Simons Island, GA. Submitted by Rev. Chris Shoemaker, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Ronald Joseph Burbank November 30, 1942 November 12, 2016 Ronald Joseph Burbank was born in Albany, NY, on November 30, 1942, to the late Wilfred C. Burbank and Ida Mae Bolus. Married to Nelly Visitacion Burbank, they lived in Waycross for several years before moving to Blackshear in Pierce County 16 years ago. Ron was retired from the US Army, and after serving his nation, he continued his life of service as a pastor for the Jamestown United Methodist Church in Jamestown, Hopewell United Methodist Church and Crosby Chapel in Baxley, Blythe Island United Methodist Church in Brunswick, and finally the Gilchrist Park United Methodist Church in Waycross. Along the way he was, as we all are, writing his own obituary. Friends and parishioners have written about his influence on their lives. James said, What a wonderful gentleman was Brother Ron. His life was a walking testimony to the greatness of God. A good, good friend and brother in the Lord, he will be missed but always remembered. Alicia said to Nelly, I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed our talks, laughs, and the stories that Mr. Burbank told me. I grew very attached to him and you as well. I will always carry a special place in my heart for him. He will be greatly missed and loved as well. Nobody will ever take his place in my heart. 531

71 Debbie said, Mr. Ron was a wonderful man; his compassion for his Lord was amazing. His love and caring was there when my in-laws passed away, and his singing voice was a gift. And Patricia said, Ronald was a gift to the people that knew him and sad for those that didn't have a chance. Ron and Nelly were a killer team together that couldn't be beat. Ron helped my husband, and I was helped just knowing that he was helping my husband. He will be missed and thought of always with a smile on my face and just a little pain in my heart. I KNOW he is up in Heaven keeping an eye on us all. But it was not all work; he also enjoyed reading, fishing, riding motorcycles, his coffee, cruises, and going on trips in his RV but his call to ministry was always his first priority. He was a happy man and will be missed by many of us who knew and loved him.

Dr. George Ross Freeman, Jr., at the request of the Committee on Memoirs Spouses of Clergy: As of March 31, 2017 Margaret Ione Pendleton Reid July 31, 1921 March 23, 2016 Born in Lloyd, FL, to Howard and Lelia Catolia Kidd Cooksey, Margaret was one of a large family. Her eight siblings were brothers Howard, Butler, and Cleve and sisters Lelia, twins Kathleen & Eileen, Betty, and Lillian. Kind Margaret would help her mother raise Lillian and in the end Margaret outlived her entire family. A big heart and a beautiful voice came quickly to young Margaret. Her singing ability even attracted RCA to offer her a chance for a record, but her father forbade her to go. But she would never stop singing. As a delightful young lady she caught the eye of Murray Arthur Pendleton, an Army Staff Sergeant. Soon she had a family of her own two sons, Howard and William, and a daughter, Betty Jean. Margaret and Murray would teach their children many wonderful and useful lessons, including If you start something, finish it. Ask for help if you need to, but finish it. Margaret would lead her children in singing and dancing whenever Murray was headed home from a deployment. Eventually, Murray lost a leg in combat and left the Armed Forces, and the family resided in former Army barracks in Columbus, GA. They attended Midway Methodist Church, with Carlton Reid as their pastor. No longer a soldier, Murray began a career in motorsports as an announcer. He also helped Howard become one of the youngest dirt track drivers in the country sometimes taking up the family dining table to build and repair motors, and also worrying mom by watching little Howard zip around the racetrack. Murray s voice was soon wellknown in the racing community, and he became an early NASCAR announcer. This required much travel and time away from home, which stressed their family and led to the end of the marriage in Margaret and the children then moved to Tallahassee, FL. She had enjoyed talking to her pastor and kept up a correspondence by mail. Carlton was a widower, having lost his wife in 1963, and had been relocated to Reidsville, near Statesboro, that same year. Their written relationship grew into much more, and the two were married at Tallahassee s Southside Methodist Church in Together, they would serve several South Georgia churches: Adrian, Richland, Arco in Brunswick, Morningside in Thomasville, Meldrim, Arlington, Tyson in Moultrie, Morven, Surrency/Bethel, and Jeffersonville. Margaret was very active in their churches, visiting with Carlton, supporting the UMW, and singing second soprano in the choir even singing duets with Betty Jean. She also enjoyed Bible studies, gardening, and sewing. Suffering from heart problems, Carlton took Medical Leave from and retired to the then-vacant parsonage on the Meigs/Ochlocknee Charge. However, Carlton had successful heart surgery in 1985 and returned to preaching for nine more years. He would permanently retire in 1994 and pass away in Margaret would then move to Apopka, FL, to be near her daughter, Betty Jean (nicknamed Ringo ). Her active life would continue for as long as her health allowed remaining in church and community, she especially enjoyed visiting the local yard sales. Eventually, Margaret moved in with her daughter. The last fifteen years of her life were fraught with medical challenges, with Betty Jean sleeping on the couch to stay within sight of her mother s home hospital bed. Margaret s little Chihuahua, Precious, was her constant companion and refused to leave her side. No illness could diminish Margaret s sweetness and love. Her life was marked by a genuine desire to help others and would give without hesitation, guided by her favorite verse: Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what 536

76 judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. (Matthew 7:1-2, KJV) Betty Jean would say that her mother had the biggest heart there ever was. But the fragility of the human frame is unescapable. At the age of 94, on March 23, 2016, Margaret entered into her Reward Eternal. Her last breaths were drawn at Florida Hospital in Apopka. Her body found rest next to Carlton in the City Cemetery in Cairo, GA but her soul found perfect delight in our Lord. Submitted by Rev. Chris Shoemaker, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Mary Grace Patten Scoates McCurley March 26, April 13, 2016 Grace Patten Scoates, widow of Rev. H.W. Speed Scoates, was born in Brooksville, FL. She and Speed met at an MYF conference, where Speed penned a red star next to her name in the conference program, though Grace at first refused to date him-- Too handsome, she always told her children. Handsome men are too vain to be interesting. They worked together for over fifty years as a loving couple, as parents, and as a ministerial team. Speed called her Gracious Mary, and she was. Grace and Speed were married in Norfolk, VA, in 1941 before Speed s ship left for war. Their first child, Luellen, was born in a Navy hospital. After the war, Speed entered seminary at Candler School of Theology and was ordained in 1952, the year their second daughter, Dana, was born. Their son, Gaylon, had been born in Grace s often-expressed wish to have twenty children was not possible for her, so she and Speed added several foster children to their own three and were unofficial parents to a number of youth throughout the years. Music was always at the center of Grace s heart, and she was a valued alto in the choir of every church Speed served. Speed always regretted his inability to sing, having been born tone deaf, so he rejoiced in Grace s willingness to share her musical abilities. Besides singing in choirs, she sang constantly as she worked around their parsonage homes. She spent part of each day playing the piano, which was one of the few personal items of furniture owned by the itinerant couple. In the final years of her life, when much of her cognition had slipped away, she could be rallied to get up from her bed when her daughter Dana launched into Rise up, rise up, for Jesus! Of all their ministerial appointments, the two perhaps best loved by Grace were their years at Epworth by the Sea and their last years of active ministry, when Speed worked with the Board of Global Missions and they were afforded the chance to see much of the country together. In their retirement, they lived on an old farm in Bethlehem, GA. Speed enjoyed restoring the farm buildings, and Grace was finally able to grow flower gardens she knew she would not have to leave behind. When Speed died of cancer in 1992, Grace was right beside him in their farmhouse bedroom, holding the hand she d held for five decades. By her own request (or royal decree, as her children deemed it), Grace s ashes were scattered in the creek running through her farm, now known as Grace Farm. Over one hundred people gathered by the creek on a sunny June day to sing her home, and after the scattering, musicians played fiddles and guitars and sang all afternoon--a fitting sendoff for Amazing Grace.

J. K. Rowling,

77 Sometimes the challenges of life are faced far, far too young. So it was with Glenda Kelley. Born amid the final echoes of World War II, Glenda entered life with a hole in her heart a significant threat even today, but even more so in a time of rationing and a near-universal focus on the war effort. Yet she possessed a strong spirit of survival, strength that would carry her through multiple heart operations carrying into her teenage years and through a childhood lived in back and leg braces. Eventually, Glenda s body healed, and she began to live free of her former medical encumbrances. Single for many years, she was introduced by church friends to a gentleman and poet named Ronald Kenneth Webb. Love bloomed quickly, and Glenda and Ronald were married on June 17, 1977, at North Highland Assembly of God in Columbus, GA. The next few years brought two major changes to the new couple s life. First, Ronald experienced a call to the ministry which led the Webbs to the United Methodist Church. He would enter the South Georgia Conference in 1985 and be ordained Elder in In the midst of entering the itinerant ministry, 1984 brought the birth of their daughter, Kimberly. As the newly enlarged family began the adventure of full-time Christian service, Glenda supported Ronald and helped raise Kimberly with dedication, compassion, and care. A quiet worker, Glenda could often be found relaxing with a book and an ice-cold bottle of her favorite beverage, Dr. Pepper. After relocating to Lakeland, FL, Glenda found employment as a cafeteria worker within the Polk County School System. The family worshipped at the then-carpenter s Home Church (Assemblies of God). On May 6, 2009, our Lord called Ronald home. Glenda relocated to Pensacola to be closer to her brother, Max. There she worshipped at the Church of Christ at Milestone. She would follow Ronald to Glory seven years and three days after his final journey. Her love of reading and her husband s love of education would live on in Kimberly s life and continues to shape her hopes and dreams. Glenda was remembered at a Memorial Service at the Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel of Pensacola, FL. Rev. Ken Burleson, Director of the Northwest Florida School of Biblical Studies (Church of Christ), led the service. Her ashes were later interred along with her husband in Parkhill Cemetery in Columbus, GA. Submitted by Rev. Chris Shoemaker, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Betty Hayes Oliver August 13, 1930 June 22, 2016 Betty was born in Emanuel County and lived most of her life in Waynesboro, GA. She was a bookkeeper and secretary and also served the parish as well with her husband, Rev. Tom Oliver. She graduated from Waynesboro High School and remained an active member of Waynesboro First UMC. Betty and Tom were married 66 years. They shared a deep love for each other, for Christ, and the church. Betty and Tom were blessed with three children, Julie, Debbie, and Ricky. Julie preceded Betty and Tom in death. Betty provided a parsonage home of love and faith. They also rejoiced in their five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Betty and Tom shared a deep, meaningful faith in Christ. They accepted and served every appointment with grace and quickly endeared themselves to the families in the community. Having known joy and loss they could relate to any member and their experiences in life. Many of the condolences sent spoke of feeling like family. Tom and Betty were as much like parents to some and brother and sister to many. Their faith was evident in every facet of their life. Betty was a tremendous witness of sweetness and grace. Her death brought sadness to many, but also hope. Death did not come for Betty, Jesus did. Funeral services were held on Saturday, June 25, at Waynesboro First UMC. Rev. Sam Wilder and Rev. Craig Hutto officiated. Submitted by Rev. Dr. Craig Rikard, a member of the Committee on Memoirs 538

78 Carol Wood Mathis August 26, 1935 July 19, 2016 Carol Wood Mathis was born on August 26, 1935, in Tampa, FL, into the home of the Reverend M. J. Wood and Mary Willis McDonald Wood. Nurtured by these godly parents, she and her six siblings became believers early in their lives. Carol received her high school diploma in Douglas, GA, and she graduated from Asbury College (now Asbury University) in 1956 with a major in Spanish and minor in English. She was an outstanding basketball player and, following her graduation, became the Assistant Dean of Women. On August 3, 1958, she married the love of her life, Dr. Vance B. Mathis. Carol and Vance faithfully served Christ and His Church for almost 58 years. Carol was active in the life of each of their congregations and made every parsonage a warm home for Vance and their three beloved daughters. Carol was firmly committed to her Savior from her early childhood and served the Lord with her whole heart. That steady, strong, and wise faith was combined with a quiet depth. Her beautiful smile, her ready laughter, and her wise insight made her opinions and counsel sought-after and valued wherever she was. As a teacher, Carol was a positive and meaningful influence on the lives of countless students. During her last year of teaching, she was honored as Teacher of the Year, and the high school annual was dedicated to her. Near the top of her many interests was Indian Springs Camp Meeting, which she attended all of her life. It was there where she grew in dedication to scriptural Wesleyan-Holiness theology, which accounts for her spiritual depth and consistent life. Carol was predictably sweet, intellectually accomplished and quick, and unusually perceptive and an astute business woman. But above all, she was fun to be with and was a welcome addition to any group. A friend of Bishops and denominational leaders, she was constantly up on things. If you needed to know what, where, when or who next, check with Carol. To her, living her faith was both serious business and her greatest joy. The writer of Proverbs 31 describes her well. In retirement, Carol and Vance loved to travel, take cruises, attend gospel sings, and watch the Atlanta Braves. Carol is survived by her husband, Dr. Vance B. Mathis of Bonaire, GA; daughters, Melody M. Whitaker of Cordele, GA, Merrie M. DeJeet of Bonaire, GA, and Marci M. Sorrell of Warner Robins, GA; grandchildren, Ryan and Kyle Whitaker and Lauren, Lindy and Libby DeJeet; siblings, Marcia Templeton of Dublin, GA, Lawrence Wood of Lexington, KY, Alan Wood of Macon, GA, and Joy Hencley of Byron, GA; and sister-in-law, Freddie Ann Wood. On Tuesday afternoon, July 19, 2016, Carol went to sleep and woke up in the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Her Service of Life Celebration was held at Bonaire United Methodist Church on July 23, 2016, conducted by Dr. Lawrence Wood, Rev. Jim Rush, and Rev. Scott Hagan, pastor of Bonaire United Methodist Church. Her earthly remains were laid to rest in the Magnolia Park Mausoleum in Warner Robins, GA. The McCullough Funeral Home was entrusted with the arrangements. Submitted by Rev.

Betty joined him in that ministry nine years before his retirement in They carried his ministry past retirement, serving the Gospel Oak United Methodist Church of London, England, from 1990 to After returning from London, Betty and Lawrence retired to Young Harris, GA, where they served the Shooting Creek Circuit. In 1998 they moved to Macon to be closer to family, then to Magnolia Manor in Americus in 2006 for Lawrence to get long-term rehabilitation. Lawrence died on August 19, 2007, shortly after they moved to Magnolia Manor in Americus. Betty continued to live at Magnolia Manor in Americus for nine years and died at age 90 on September 12, 2016; it was a Monday. A friend, Sue, remembered the family in the comments after her death, Sharon, so sorry to hear of your mother s passing away. I sure remember a lot of good times at your house. Prayers for you and your family. Betty was preceded in death by her husbands, Bill Dewberry and Reverend Lawrence Houston; a son, Billy Dewberry; and a grandson, Joseph William Vijande.

Submitted by Rev. Charles Whatley, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Patricia Pat Drake Aultman March 24, 1931 October 12, 2016 Mrs. Patricia Pat Drake Aultman was born March 24, 1931, to the late Arthur L. and Thelma S. Drake. She graduated from Roosevelt High School and was employed by Graybar Electric for eighteen years as a teller, the head bookkeeper, and finally assistant to the District Financial Manager. But she might say the best thing that happened to her at Graybar was meeting Richard Aultman, who also worked there. They married in 1958 and drove into their new life in her 1957 Chevy (the car everybody wanted back then). She continued to work at Graybar while he finished college and seminary. Richard remembers her being the first woman he d met who he wanted to marry, and for the rest of their lives together, he knew she was a gift from the God who loved them both. Pat s life with Richard was a true love story. Their fifty-eight year marriage was filled with love and happiness, so much so that Richard would frequently write poetry to and about her. When she met Richard, she had no idea he would one day be a preacher, or that she would be a preacher s wife! They had always been church people, but early in their marriage, they had a profound experience of God s grace in a worship service together and life was never the same. Over the years, their love grew and the two became one in Christ. After his first church at Rockledge/Lothair, they served the South Georgia Conference for 31 years. She also worked, during their ministry in South Georgia, for Epworth by the Sea for five years. She, using her background in finance, invested their money. Like many pastor s wives, Pat knew just how to use her wit and charm to help her husband thrive and become even more effective as a pastor wherever they served. Pat was a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ with a strong faith in God s Word. Her legacy of faith, service, and devotion made a great difference wherever they served across the South Georgia Conference. Her memory is treasured by all who knew her. 540

80 After they retired, Richard and Pat settled in Byron, GA, where they attended the Byron UMC and joined the Faith Sunday School Class. And due in large part to Pat s financial acumen, they bought a camper/van and traveled extensively across America until Pat was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Patricia "Pat" Drake Aultman passed away October 12, She is survived by her husband, Richard; a son, David, and his wife, Celetta, who live in Vidalia; and a sister, Sylvia Galbaugh, who lives in Atlanta. Funeral services were held at the Byron United Methodist Church on October 16, Instead of flowers, the family asked that donations be made to the Byron United Methodist Church. Submitted by Rev. Charles Whatley, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Jeanette Bittner December 31, October 17, 2016 Jeanette was born on December 31, 1922, in Grand Rapids, MI, to the late Adrian and Dena Snell Vander Giessen. She was a retired school teacher and loved to draw and spend time with her grandchildren. Usually when they visited Michigan during Christmas, her teaching and children were her choice subjects. She was a dedicated, devoted teacher and doting mother. Jeanette played piano and organ at many churches served by Ray. Many churches lacked musicians. They were blessed with Jeanette s willingness and love of playing, especially for Christ. She also loved using her music for ministries outside the local church. Jeanette especially loved playing in nursing homes for the residents. Music for so many residents was a beautiful visit from the church and a means of spiritually moving beyond their walls. She had a special passion for the people of Haiti, participating in mission work on the island. Haiti is an extremely poor country. Jeanette took the people there into her heart and sought through Christ to bring hope into their lives. She was a faithful member of the Poulan UMC and ministered with Ray in all of the churches under his care. Her ministry went far beyond just playing the piano or organ. Like most spouses of clergy she aided the church in a myriad of ways. She was married to her beloved Rev. Ray Bittner for sixty-eight years. Someone once said getting married is easy; staying married is a fine art. Ray and Jeanette were tremendous artists. They rejoiced in their children, Karen, Linda, Calvin, Debbie, and Janice. Jeanette and Ray also were blessed with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Ray and Jeanette were blessed to witness the birth of five generations of their family. The service to celebrate Jeanette s life and ministry was held on October 22, 2016, at Poulan United Methodist Church. Burial followed in the Poulan Cemetery. Rev. Richard Holt officiated. Submitted by Rev. Dr. Craig Rikard, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Jessie Francis Mathis August 28, October 20, 2016 Mrs. Jessie Francis Mathis was born August 28, 1946, in West Palm Beach, FL, to the late Norman Warner and Francis Jordan Bell. She grew up with three brothers: Jay Bell of Wrightsville, GA, Burt Bell of Ocala, FL, and Jimmy Bell of Melbourne, FL; and three sisters: Linda Bell and Jeanie Wier of Naples, FL, and Charla Stewart of California. Later she married Pastor Guy Mathis (before he became a pastor!). They gave life to a son, Joshua Nathaniel Mathis, and four daughters, Shayla Hobbs of Rebecca, Kayla Mathis of Vienna, Jessica Dallis Mathis of Rebecca, and Jordan Dakota Mathis of Rebecca. Her husband, Guy, remembers, She is the reason I am where I am today. I had given up on the church, and I had not been going to church at all for a long time. She would ask me to go, but I wouldn't. We did attend one Sunday so our children could go to Vacation Bible School. Then we were invited to the Dublin District Camp Meeting in Adrian. Preacher Jim Jackson 541

81 talked about a lady named Fran, and since my wife was Fran, she thought he was preaching about her. On the way home that night, she asked me what I thought about going back to church. I answered, Yes, but I am not going back just to have my name on the roll. It is going to mean something. She agreed, and we went back to church; later God called me into the ministry, and I answered the call. As their children grew up, she, like many of us, lived for her grandchildren, especially the twins with special needs. With a grandson in the band, she became the grandmother for the Turner County High School Band, altering, cleaning, and repairing band uniforms. In return, the entire band showed up for her memorial service in uniform! Looking back over his years in the ministry, Guy says, I don't think that God could have given me a better pastor's wife. I remember after I answered the call into the ministry and accepted my first appointment, I didn't even own a sports coat. I could have bought one; I just didn't like to wear such things. Then one Saturday she woke me up and made me get dressed. When I asked why I had to get up and go shopping, she told me no husband of hers was getting into the pulpit looking like I looked. So we went out and bought some sports coats and ties. Like many pastor s wives, she was the quiet strength in her husband s background. She was quiet and reserved until she really got to know you. Rather than talk about how much she cared, she wanted to show her love through her actions. She was the quiet example of a woman living out her faith, loving her family, and serving her community. A resident of Rebecca, GA, and a member of the Desoto United Methodist Church, she died at the Tift County Medical Center in Tifton on Thursday, October 20, A Memorial service was held at Magnolia Manor in Americus. The family asked that any memorial donations be made to The League of the Good Samaritan in Americus. Submitted by Rev.

After graduation from Berrien County High in Nashville in 1954, she enrolled in Valdosta State College, receiving a B.S. in Education in Later she would complete a Masters in English Education at Albany State College. Emma Hendley married James Allen Brooks, a student at Candler School of Theology, on June 9, She was his helpmeet and faithful companion in ministry through 22 moves, including seminary, US Air Force Chaplaincy, and 9 pastorates Chula; Whigham-Climax; Palmyra Road, Albany; Shurlington, Macon; Epworth, Columbus; Lynmore, Macon; and Northview, Warner Robins. She made her special contribution as a Sunday School teacher for adults and children. Her teaching ability, outgoing personality, and Christian spirit made her a favorite wherever they served! Her professional teaching career began in 1958 and continued until disability necessitated retirement in June Committed to high standards in her profession, she was a member of the National Educators Association and the Georgia Association of Educators. An English teacher, she taught art in a Department of Defense School in England while Allen was serving there. Always seeking to improve, she studied with English artist John Miller and with a direct descendent of English Romantic master John Constable. While at Mountain Home Air Force Base, she and Allen experienced the filling of the Holy Spirit. A new awareness of the love of Christ and the presence of the Lord became the mark of both their lives! Devotion to cleanliness of both home and personal life also marked Emma s character. Her mind never stopped learning! She loved reading, especially English history, and traveling. She was a faithful and dear mother to their two sons, Zack and Scott, doing everything she could for them while they were young and still ready to help when grown. She was also generous to good causes, regularly supporting some 542

82 dozen from her retirement account, including the Methodist Home in Macon, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, and Bethany Home. Upon Allen s retirement in 1995, they made their home in Nashville, where Allen was her faithful caregiver. Their home was furnished with antiques from England she and Allen had acquired while junking there. She was a member of Nashville United Methodist Church, attending when able.

Submitted by James Duke, Jr., a member of the Committee on Memoirs Florine Lois Ward Chappell August 6, 1931 December 3, 2016 Born in Chowan County, NC, with her identical twin sister, Marjorine, Florine Lois Ward grew up in Suffolk, VA. Her parents, Irving and Laura Ward, helped plant the seed of the Gospel in young Florine s heart a seed that would bear much fruit in her adult life. She met her husband-to-be, a Methodist gentleman and decorated US Marine named Robert P. Chappell, Sr., during an encounter orchestrated by her sister and Robert s brother who had wed each other a few years earlier. After Robert expressed no interest in Florine, his brother talked him into attending a local beauty pageant. Robert flippantly declared that he d marry the winner. Unknown to him, Florine s sister had convinced her to enter the pageant (secretly knowing Robert would be there) and she won! During their courtship, the young couple attended a revival led by The Gospel Hour s Dr. Oliver B. Greene. There, Florine totally dedicated her life to the Lord. She gave up dancing and even quit her restaurant job because the establishment served alcohol. For Florine, living for Jesus was absolute happiness. Already good-natured, her natural joy was magnified with Christ in her heart. She was so inspired by Greene s preaching that she asked the famous evangelist if he would marry them. Greene agreed, and Robert and Florine were wed on June 17, Thus began the couple s adventures together. After his service to our country, God called Robert to service in the ministry. They traveled in their own evangelistic service until, one day, Robert gave a prayer at a meeting as he had no doubt done many times. This time was different. That prayer was heard by a man who was so impressed with how God was speaking through Robert that he invited him to become the pastor of their church. Along the way, God would bless the couple with daughters Cynthia and Tamara and son Robert, Jr. Another daughter, Catherine, would find the arms of Jesus as a baby and precede her family into Glory. Robert would serve Methodist churches in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia. He became a Full Time Local Pastor in the South Georgia Conference in 1991 and remained an official part of the South Georgia Conference for the rest of his life. Florine s experience as a pastor s wife was far from boring. An accomplished pianist and organist, she played in many of her husband s churches. Also a gifted Gospel singer, Florine formed a Virginia female Gospel trio, The Chappell Bells. The Bells performed for years throughout the mid-atlantic states. Florine s life was marked by her near-constant expressions of love, affection, and joy. Never a day passed without her reading the Bible and affirming her love for her children. Hugs and I love yous were always in abundant supply! The radio and television ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley and classic Southern Gospel music invigorated her faith throughout her later life. Raised and remaining a Southern belle, Florine kept her beautiful smile and pure graciousness no matter the situation. Her daughter, Cynthia, described her as a true, ultimate Southern lady. One of Florine s rules for life was to never let other people know if you are having a bad day. Always be a lady, and always smile! For her, the smiles came easily from a life filled with the presence of our Lord. 543

83 After fifty-two years of loving marriage, God called Robert home on October 2, The couple had already left Georgia for the more-familiar territory of North Carolina; family was close at hand to support and bless her last fourteen years. She also returned to the Baptist faith of her childhood, joining the Lee Park Baptist Church in Monroe, NC. On December 3, 2016, Florine joined Robert in Heaven. Her final earthly service was held on December 7, 2016, at her graveside at the Rockbridge Memorial Gardens in Lexington, VA. Pastor T. G. Ayers of Community Advent Christian Church in Roanoke, VA, officiated. A shimmering, pearl-white casket was selected to match her uplifting and effervescent personality in life. Her mortal remains were laid to rest next to Robert. Her spirit doubtlessly is still smiling in Eternity. Submitted by Rev.

Charles Whatley, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Golda Faye Penny Hudson December 21, January 5, 2017 Golda Faye Penny Hudson was fondly known as Penny. She was born in Fitzgerald, GA. Upon graduating from Fitzgerald High School, she earned a degree from Georgia Southern College. As well as her service in the local church, she was a lifelong educator.

She was always a dedicated member of the United Methodist Church and especially active in the United Methodist Women. Her wit 545

85 and sharp intelligence were helpful and deeply appreciated. Her education, intelligence, and gift of teaching made her a valued contributor to the mission of the church, and especially the UMW. The celebration of her life was held at Portal United Methodist Church on Saturday, January 7. Rev. Jimmy Cason officiated, assisted by Rev. Myra Barrett. Members of the United Methodist Women served as honorary pallbearers. Submitted by Rev. Dr. Craig Rikard, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Rosalie Voigt Johnson July 5, 1934 January 12, 2017 Service: Never have this word on your lips, but keep it in your hearts. Dr. Albert Schweitzer It is something to engage in service to others. It is something else to allow service to define one s existence to become the central aspect of one s very being and purpose. Dr. Rosalie Voigt Johnson made such an allowance. In doing so, God made use of her to bring healing and hope from the expanse of the African savannah to the inner-city alleyways of Atlanta. Born in Charleston, SC, to Larry and Carolyn Voigt, Rosalie s first experience with service was the example of her parents. Her father was active duty in the United States Navy throughout World War II; and her mother was a leader in the Girl Scouts. These experiences helped prepare Rosalie s fertile soul for the seed of mission. That seed was planted in Jacksonville, FL. Larry was shipping off to Europe during the war; Carolyn took Rosalie and her sister Peggy to a local Vacation Bible School. It was there that Rosalie heard a presentation from a missionary to China. She instantly answered God s call. Though only twelve years old, Rosalie decided to become a missionary. As her relationship with God matured, a focus emerged for Rosalie to specifically serve as a medical missionary. She began her pre-med studies at Wesleyan College in Macon, GA. It was there that she met her future husband, South Georgia Conference missionary and pastor Joseph Morgan Johnson. Morgan s parents were professors at Wesleyan. The couple married at Vineville Methodist Church a year after her graduation and before entering her second year of medical school at Emory. Together, they continued their studies with Morgan pursuing his Doctor of Education degree. Rosalie graduated first, one of three women in a class of over seventy, and began her medical internship but not before a one-month hiatus needed to welcome the couple s first child, a daughter named Linda. Four other children would come Mary, Michael, Tendai, and Chido. Linda alone would be born in the United States; her siblings would be born in Zimbabwe. When Rosalie finished her internship, her calling to the mission field was answered as the Johnsons began their work in Africa. Rosalie served as the lone doctor of several rural village clinics; Morgan preached and taught African students to become teachers themselves. In 1974, the Johnsons were deported from Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) for siding with African politicians against Rhodesia s version of apartheid. After one of Morgan s political cartoons inflamed the ruling White government, the family was forced to leave. After two years in the United States and six years service in Zambia, the changing political conditions allowed them to finally return and resume their work in Zimbabwe. Now welcomed by the new government, a decade of medical and educational work awaited them. Rosalie and Morgan decided to retire from international missions in They returned to Atlanta, GA, where Rosalie began another decade of service to those suffering from AIDS and HIV. Rosalie retired in 2001, and the couple moved to Washington, DC, to be closer to family. A highlight of retirement was a 2007 return to Atlanta to renew their wedding vows on their fiftieth anniversary. Following minor surgery in 2012, Rosalie developed dementia during the Johnsons last four-and-a-half years together. Morgan and Rosalie continued on in love with the assistance of the Hermitage Retirement Community in Alexandria, VA. On January 12, 2017, Rosalie s mind and soul were renewed as she stood before the Jesus she loved and so ably served. Memorial services were held at the Hermitage Retirement Community on February 8, 2017, led by Chaplain 546

86 Kathy Howell (of the Louisiana Conference); at Fairlington United Methodist Church of Alexandria, VA, on February 11 under the direction of Rev. Mary Beth Blinn; and at Hyattsville (MD) United Methodist Church on March 18. Following the final service led by Rev. Dr. Yvonne Wallace-Penn a portion of Rosalie s ashes were scattered in the church s Memorial Garden. The remainder of her ashes will be scattered in Eugene, OR, and at her former workplace of Old Mutare Mission in Zimbabwe. Submitted by Rev. Chris Shoemaker, a member of the Committee on Memoirs Myrna Eidson Roberts January 11, January 15, 2017 Born on January 11, 1937, Atlanta was Myrna Eidson Roberts hometown. Upon graduating from Grady High School, she earned a degree from LaGrange College. She and her spouse, Rev. Larry Roberts, met at LaGrange College. After graduation they ministered together as the parsonage family for churches throughout the annual conference: Preston, Associate at Trinity in Savannah, St. Andrew in Columbus, Lee Street in Americus, Blakely, Pittman Park in Statesboro, Perry, and Dublin First. Prior to serving in Dublin, Larry served a Director of Development for the United Methodist Home for Children and Youth in Macon. Myrna was an active participant in the activities at the Methodist Home and the ministries of Vineville UMC. Myrna worked most of her life as a teacher and bookkeeper. One of her jobs deeply touched her heart. Her first job was that of a juvenile court probation officer. She often came home brokenhearted, wishing she could do more for those hurting kids. Following her work as court probation officer, she taught school. However, her greatest love was teaching Sunday School. She taught Sunday School in all of their parishes. When Larry was appointed to the Methodist Children s Home in Macon, she taught at Vineville UMC in Macon. After their retirement to Lake Junaluska, she continued serving, along with Larry, at First UMC of Waynesville in North Carolina. Myrna loved hosting friends and family in her home. The parsonage was always a home of warmth and welcome. As well as the gift of teaching, she had the gift of hospitality. In the words of her son Ben, she prepared meals for bishops, dignitaries, and sweaty boys from a day of sports, black and white. Along with teaching and providing a welcoming home, she loved the simplicity and beauty of a North Carolina snowfall. Her family noted she spent hours watching snowflakes flutter and fall to the ground. She and Larry have three children, daughters Denise and Julie and son Ben. They also have five grandchildren. Myrna was among the most conscientious ministerial spouses in the annual conference. Upon leaving an apartment she was determined to leave it spotless. Her son Ben noted they would sit in the car and watch her back out of the front door, still running the vacuum cleaner. She would then yank the cord from the wall and place the cleaner in the trunk. Her last days were spent entertaining family and guests during a snowstorm. She died before the end of another weekend. Yet, she passed into the Kingdom doing what she loved, with those she loved. A celebration of her life was held at McMullen Funeral Home in Columbus, GA, with burial following in Parkhill Cemetery. Friend and fellow minister in South Georgia, Rev. Dr. James T. Pennell officiated. Touching many lives in every location served, a memorial service was also held in Waynesville with Rev. Dr. Garland Young and Rev. Dr. James Pennell officiating. Submitted by Rev.

Dr. William Oliver at the request of the Committee on Memoirs Laren Gail Eisenberg Reincheld April 22, 1946 March 23, 2017 Laren was born on April 22, 1946, to parents Rev. Larry and Mrs. Helen Eisenberg in Nashville, TN. The family lived in several places in the Nashville area, including the farm in Brentwood until 1957 when the family moved to Chilhowee, VA. There, Laren attended high school and played flute in the band, attracting the admiration of her first boyfriend, John Wayne. She earlier wrote to her good friend Joan Storrs that her hobbies included collecting rocks, relics, pictures and maps and almost everything. (This would reach its full flower later in life). In 1960, the family moved to Rhodesia, Africa, where the parents served as missionaries with the Methodist Church. After 3 years, Laren returned to the states and stayed with aunts and uncles and attended school. She later went to Asbury College for two years, then transferred to Oklahoma City University. While at Asbury she met a dashing young man from Lancaster, OH, named Bill Reincheld. After a courtship which survived the interference of her younger brothers, John and Don, Laren and Bill married in the Upper Room Chapel in Nashville in She served in various roles from journalist to headstart teacher to pastor s wife and choir member in Martinsville, OH, South Webster, and the New Hope UMC in Proctorville. By this time, she had given birth to two strapping boys, Nathan and Stephen, and spent much time and attention mothering and mentoring them. Then came the call of Africa. Bill and Laren headed off to teach and ultimately lead Kenya Highlands Bible College in Kericho, Kenya for 7 years with World Gospel Mission. In addition to teaching English and creative writing, Laren also helped to host work teams and visited local families. Following many unique experiences in Africa, the family returned to the States to Stone Mountain, GA, where Laren worked at the DeKalb County School for International students at Cross Keys. Bill then returned to the United Methodist pastorate. The family went from Vidalia to Pooler to Sylvester, retiring at St. Simons Island. Laren continued as pastor s wife and mother to the two boys, who married and gave her four wonderful grandchildren to dote on, Bri, Deb, Jake and Josh. Early on, Laren had prayed to marry a pastor. It appears she got a lot more than she bargained for! 551

91 Laren s heart for people may have challenged Bill s wallet; she was constantly thinking of others and doing things for them, including sending cards for every occasion and gift cards and other gifts for family and many others. For more than a decade, she was the primary caregiver for her mother as well, often assisted by her sister, Pat Brown. Her love for Jesus shone forth through what she said and did. A prayer warrior, seldom did a phone conversation with family or others end without her praying with the person she was talking to. Caring, strong-willed, generous, thoughtful, smiling, instant in prayer are but a few of the adjectives which come to mind when we think of this wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Laren Gail, we would salute you, but we hug you instead and bless you for sowing into our hearts your love of your "sweet Jesus." (Her constant term) Sing out strong! Submitted by Rev.

Frances planned her service of death and resurrection down to the last detail, selecting Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee and Hymn of Promise as hymns and warning the soloist, Doyle Register, that if he retired, he would have to come back to sing His Eye is on the Sparrow at her funeral (he did). She asked her grandchildren to read the Scripture: Psalm 8:1-9, read by Shelley; Romans 8:31-35, 37-39, read by Ashley; and John 1:1-14, read by Luke. Dear friend Emmie Johnson shared loving and humorous remembrances at the Sunday afternoon, April 2, service at St. Luke United Methodist Church in Columbus, GA, where she and Gilbert attended after his retirement. The Revs. Robert Beckum, Cindy Cox Garrard, Keith Goodlett, and Dick Reese also participated in the service. At the interment service at Riverside Cemetery in Macon, GA, on Monday, April 3, the family was surrounded by friends from Macon and from across the conference. Frances Ramsey loved to turn aside to God in prayer, sang of 552

92 God s mercy and grace, taught little children of God s love, was a fit partner to her husband, Gilbert, and toiled with joy and energy alongside him in congregations large and small. She danced at granddaughter Shelley s wedding less than a month before her death. Emmie s words provided a moving reminder of friendship lived long in the Lord and a fitting epitaph for a dear soul: The Lord brought us together in 1944, and He will bring us back together in His everlasting kingdom. Thank you, God, for allowing me to have Fram as my sister and for the closeness we shared. We plan to see each other again at Jesus feet. Submitted by Rev.
