I love you Elaine and that our friendship will always be with us for the rest of our years here on earth. Do take care of yourself. Love and many blessings to you and your family.

Robbie, I still miss our weekly talks by phone and my quarterly treks to Ahoskie to visit. Time passes so quickly my friend. I'll be seeing you before too long.

Sorry for your loss. Mickey will be missed.. he always greeted you with a smile and wanting to know how you are doing and if things are going well with you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

BEAU AND CHAD, I saw your Dad had left us. He was always a kind and nice man to me. I remember seeing him at football games and working around outside in your family's yard. He always had a smile and hello for me. Telling me about the Marines. I did not go to the Marines (Army) but I did take his patriotism and love of country and made it a part of my own. Reading about his conversion to Christianity made me smile and know that he had a full life. Pride in his family and faith in his God. I am sorry for your loss and your families are in our prayers.

One of the things I'm going to miss most about mickey other than his smile and quick wit is election night. If he and Mrs. Faye weren't at the court house he was texting me or calling me to see what the results were. He was such a dear friend to me and he will be greatly missed. Sending all my love and prayers.

Chad and Beau, your dad and I worked together at RCCC. In recent years we saw one another occasionally, promising that we would find time to see each other more frequently. Then Coved changed so many things. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with your family and you at this sorrowful time. May you know that your dad is now at peace. He loved you dearly. He is greatly missed by all of us who knew Him. My wife and I will miss hearing from him about the new grand baby. You know that is what grandparents talk about. Stay encouraged. Holding on to the memories.

Heather and Neal, Aunt Kat was a wonderful person and she is going to be missed by so many. You all are in my thoughts.

Jean is the dear father in law to my niece Jessica. I remember him participating in many fish fries at Jessica's mom's home in Suffolk. My condolences to Chad and Beau who dearly love their father. He will be greatly missed.

I remember Mickey when he was just a little boy. Sad to hear of his passing.

So sorry to hear of Alice’s passing. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Chad and Beau, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I will never forget your Dad greeting me every Sunday morning going to St. Charles. Take care and reach out if you need anything.

What a wonderful man that lived a wonderful life. I met Mickey Lee in 1973 at NC Equipment Company. I always enjoyed working, boating, golfing and hunting with Mickey Lee. He was a good friend over the years. Prayers go out to his wonderful family, who he loved very much. It's difficult at such a time to know what words to say, but my thoughts and prayers are with you today and always. Mickey Lee was truly a wonderful man who lived a wonderful life!

Love you guys

Our deepest sympathies Beau and Chad to you and your family. I will alway remember Mr. Jean coming to our games at Chowan and watching us from the endzone. He always had words of encouragement and sometimes constructive criticism and it came across very steadfaat and genuine, in a manner that made you take heed to what he was saying. I pray for your families in the days and weeks to come, and ask for the comfort and peace that only Christ an provide to surround you all.

To the Lee family, sending prayers of comfort during this difficult time. Mickey Lee was an amazing board director to Roanoke Electric cooperative and I so enjoyed working with him!

On behalf of the HCHS class of 1996, we send our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Drake brothers and their respective families. The Drakes have been great friends to many of us and the community through their work with at the local school system and Chowan. Many of us had the pleasure of taking classes under Jean; mine was in 1998. Jean was always supportive of his boys and their exploits. He helped teach Beau, me, and the rest of the linemen O-line skills as we were just learning the sport at HCMS. Throughout our careers at HCHS and Chowan, Jean was often on the sidelines, never shy to tell any of us where we could improve. That's what I'll remember most about him: his love for his boys and football.

To the Lee family. My sincere condolences on the behalf of your loss. Mickey was a loving husband,father,grandfather, father in law,friend Director, most of all a believer in Christ! I’m really going to miss him so much! I loved him dearly and will always love him. But I do understand that he went from labor to reward! God don’t make mistakes! Save a seat for me your brother Allen .

Your mission is complete. Thank you for your services to the Fire Dept and proctecting our community. Mrs Faye, Brad, Taylor and Kirsten our condolences to you all.

To the family, my prayers are with you all. I have had too much loss this year of 2021. How do I write a condolence for someone that was as easy to talk to as that favorite first cousin we all have? I can't find the words. Mickey was a great friend, salesman, story teller, and the list goes on. You will be missed my friend. See you when it's my time.

I’m so sorry to hear about Mickey ? Faye, I will be praying for you and your family to have comfort. Love, JanEadie

Jean Drake was a very influential person in my life. 25 years ago, as Drake served as my academic advisor at RCCC, he encouraged me to continue my education and get my BS degree. Drake even found me an academic scholarship to pay for it all. Over the years life took me out of the area and I lost touch with Drake, but when I started working in Ahoskie, several years ago, I started running into him in town from time to time. Oh how I enjoyed talking, laughing, and catching up with him. Drake was a character for sure! Beau, Chad, and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Drake was an awesome man and he will be missed!

I met Mr And Mrs Drake at Lowes Grocery store in Ahoskie many years ago, where I worked as the Deli/Bakery Mgr. They were very loyal customers of mine. It was always a pleasure to talk with them weekly. Most definitely two of the nicest people I have ever met. Mrs Drake was always precise and very clear about what she wanted as well as Mr Drake. He was a little scary at first...Lol...until I got to know him. (He just looked intimidating) Some of the stories in the obituary, I remember them telling me about. Mrs. Drake would always want something special at Christmas or for special events for her students/co-workers. They always ordered a Holiday Dinner. I remember when Ms. Ann passed away and feeling heartbroken for Mr. Drake. I ran into him a couple of months ago at a resturant in town and it was nice to know that he hadn't forgot who I was. I'm so glad our paths crossed again. My prayers go out to his family during this great time of Sadness. May we rejoice in the fact knowing that he has Moved on To the Place that God has prepared for him in Heaven. He and Ms. Ann are together again. ❤

So sorry for your loss our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. What an enjoyable person to talk to. He will be missed by all.

We are so sorry to hear of Mickey’s passing and will continue to pray for your family during this time of sorrow.

You made our team and experiences at FMA much better my friend. You were a good man and a definite asset for FMA. Pray your family is at peace as I know you are.

Please accept our sincere condolences to your wonderful family, Love, The Canady Family

You will be missed dearly.

Mickey had a special way about him. He always brought a smile to my face. He lived to joke and kid around but I believe he would have given the very shirt off his back to help someone in need. He will be truly missed as a customer at the pharmacy but mire as a friend. My heart is broken for you all. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have so many memories of Mickey and so many stories to tell. He may not want them all told !! Anyway, we will miss you greatly. You were a great neighbor and an even better friend.

I am so sorry to hear this we were neighbors for many years sending prayers to you all.

Heather & Neal, I’m certainly sorry for the loss of your mother. I remember her when I grew up in Ahoskie. She was a really sweet person. She and my older sister Terry were good friends and Kathy spent a lot of time at our house. Kathy and Terry got into lots of mischief! I know it’s hard to see our aging parents as carefree youth. It was so much fun having Kathy at our house. My Mom and Dad thought a lot of her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. So sorry for your loss. Love, Connie & Darnell Moss

I have so many wonderful memories of long talks with Kathy. She was a forever friend since 1985 and although we did not talk but every few months, it was if we never skipped a beat! I loved her dry sense of humor and her honesty. She loved Lauren and as a little girl , she treated her like her own. Kathy became friends with my Mom and my Aunt June and when she was recovering from hip surgery, they went to visit her in Windsor. She was a beautiful lady and will be missed by all that knew and loved her. RIP dear friend. love you always. Tammy

Neal, Heather and family, So sorry to hear of the passing of Kathy. Sending thoughts and prayers to all.

She was my classmate! RIP

Wanda and family.... Spoken prayers for you and the family upon the loss of your mom. As noted in the obit, she will live on in the hearts of those she loved and those who loved her. Peace be with you.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Mike. I have very fond memories of him and never had a bad experience around him. He took me on my first motorcycle ride, introduced me to the games Farkle and Rook, invited us to Revelle's Beach on plenty of occasions, cooked our Thanksgiving pigs at 3 AM (back when Thanksgiving was actually cold), letting me eat his apple fiber cereal while he was recovering from heart surgery, and providing countless laughable moments. I'll never forget his infectious laugh, interesting anecdotes, and kindness he always afforded me. Miss you, Uncle Mike.

Heather and Neil, so sad to hear of your mother's death. She was a joy to be around and a sweet lady. Sending love and prayers to you and the family. Carolyn Martin

Kathy was a great friend to our family, and especially to my mother when she lived “across the road” from her for many years. We had a lot of fun times laughing about “Louis Baby” and “Richard Baby”. She will be missed and our prayers are with her family. She’s in a good place with Richard again, where she was ready to be.

My sincere condolences to the Paul family. Mrs Lorene was such a sweet lady she will be greatly missed.

I loved this man. We shared so many memories of Memphis, Beale Street, etc. He loved his family. Just a good person in every way, and we will miss him so.

Dallas was a kind and generous soul who helped me repeatedly at Green Hall. It seemed there was nothing he couldn’t do or wouldn’t do to help us. His smile was there every time he visited. May he experience peace and love.

In memory of a kind and gentle spirit.

Bettye, Kathy and I send our condolences to you and your family. Jerry was always a refreshing presence whenever we saw each other at various cotton meetings. We especially enjoyed being on the dance floor with you and Jerry at the 2019 winter Southern Cotton Growers meeting.

Hoyt, Ann and I were saddened to learn about Peggy and we send along our condolances and prayers. She was such a kind and loving person that was always glad to see you. We never has a lot of interactions over the years but we will always cherish those times we did. Our prayers and thoughts are with you as you go forward.

Dallas was my buddy, we worked together about every weekday for 3 years. He was old school, he wouldn't show you how to do something unless you were really gonna listen. He taught me so much in the trades. We had fun too, listening to John Prine a folk singer. Dallas fell in love with this music towards this year and listened to it constantly. I miss him clocking in with a song, belting it out down the hallway at work. He was compassionate, He struggled in life for many years, but he believed that God's grace was enough for him. He had the courage to take his eyes off himself and look to Jesus his savior. I will miss him, I never knew I would miss him this much.

So sorry for your loss. We loved watching the two of you dance. Prayers for you and your family.♥️

So sorry for your loss! We always enjoyed seeing the two of you dance. Prayers and love to you and your family. Love, Jamie and Ralph Sandeford

A good family man and fair business man… The family will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days.

Stewart and I always thought the world of Dallas, my heartfelt sympathy to all, he will be missed in our community.

Dallas was a very special person who always had a smile and kind words for others even when he was going through painful things in his own life. He will be missed ! His family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to find out about Jinny Lynn. Phyllis and always Cherished our visit with Aunt Mary and finding you and Jinny Lynn there also for lunch. I hitched a ride with Jinny a couple of times to Scotland Neck from East Carolina. God Bless you all.

I did not know Dallas but I know his son and reading others memories allows me to see where Richard gets his kind hearted nature. I lost my dad earlier this year and know how lonely my mother has been. What a blessing to know that there is a place God has prepared for His children where we can be reunited with our loved ones.

My prayers are with the family. I am so sorry. He was such a good person.

My prayers are with the family. I am so sorry. He was such a good person.

Dallas was a customer and a friend . He was so happy for me when I became saved 2 years ago and baptized last year. Ill miss our chats at Ace when we had the chance between customers. I know ill be seeing you again friend , I know that you are so happy to meet God and maybe singing Him a song or two. ..

May God's Peace be with all of you, Bettye.

Sending sympathy and prayers for the Lord’s supernatural comfort and strength for the family and loved ones. Jerry was a great man and a very kind man.

I barely knew Dallas, but at the same time, it felt like I did know him. He fixed many things in my apartment for me, and I specifically remember the beginning of this semester.. He came over and was confused that there were so many maintenance issues with my apartment, because he thought he went through the whole building prior to students moving in, but somehow he missed my apartment. We ended up just talking about life stuff and laughing at things I can't quite remember, but he was so easy to talk to, and I could tell he really loved the job that he did, and he had a great spirit about him. I wish all of his friends and family my deepest condolences in this difficult time, he will surely be missed.

One of the first people I met at Chowan University was Dallas. He poked his head in the door and smiled, "Hey, there! You are new around these parts." He introduced himself and it went from there. HE WAS ALWAYS there for us, no matter what the problem was. While we needed his expertise, he also enjoyed and needed his kindness and humor. Since his wife passed, he was not the same. I'm happy that Dallas is where he wanted to be. DALLAS, you made you mark and we won't forget you. Much love and many prayers for all the family.

Rest in Peace Dallas. I will miss seeing you at Chowan. You always spoke kind words. My thoughts and prayers are with your family members.

Dallas was such a kind, helpful, and giving man. I'll miss seeing him around campus. Rest in peace, Dallas.

I deepest sympathy to each of you, in the loss of Dallas. I'm so glad to have known him. Such a sweet, sweet soul. May the good Lord put his loving arms around each of you for comfort and peace.

I'll miss you Dallas.

Bettye, So sorry to hear about Jerry . I will certainly pray for you and your family.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your mom Lori and Gregg. She and I would occasionally see each other maybe at the grocery and I would always stop to say hello. I would, most often, asked about you Lori and tell your mom to say hello. I hope you got some of those messages. I know it’s been a long time but I never forgot you and our “good old days.” God bless you and the family during this major change in your life with the home going of your mom. She was a very sweet lady!

So sorry for your loss! She touched the lives of many students

So sorry to hear passing of your mom will be thinking of you alli in the days ahead.

She was my favorite teacher in high. All those vocabulary drills put me ahead in English classes in college. She was always so kind and patient and we all loved her.

Our family was blessed to have known Jane for over 70 years, since she was one of my sister Carolyn's best friends at Aulander High School. When I last saw her several years ago, I marveled at how little she had changed, and was as warm and engaging as ever. Today and always, may fond memories bring her loved ones peace, comfort and joy.

We were so fortunate to know this wonderful, smart, funny lady, if only for a few years. She will be so missed. A beautiful life. RIP

So sad to hear about Mrs. Matthews passing. She taught me 9th grade English and 10 years before that taught my sister. She always spoke when I would see her around town and never forgot either of us. She truly cared for her students!

Condolences to the family on the loss of your love one.

So sorry to hear of Mrs. Matthews passing. She was my favorite high school teacher. I found her to be one of the most challenging and thought provoking teachers. I will never forget how she would write individual comments on our journal entries. I use this personal touch with my own students today. She truly leaves a legacy with all the lives she touched. Much love to the family

I had known Joe as a friend, a military historian as well as a fellow historical military collector for 40 years. His serious devotion to his family and friends along with his cheerful demeanor made him a true standout. When you think of Joe the term Southern Gentleman immediately comes to mind. He was a good man.

Sending my condolences. Aunt Ruth was a special person. I will always remember the good times and good food I had when I would go over to Uncle Lloyd and Aunt Ruth’s when I was a child.

On this day of Rob's Remembrance Day, my thoughts are with his family and friends. In remembering my last visit to Strawberry Hill after the June 2019 Whitaker Reunion, I have fond memories of Rob taking me through the house and showing me his garden, taking family group pictures and having a one-on-one conversation on our families with a glass of wine sitting overlooking his proud garden. The last ime I was in the house was 34 years ago before the renovations Rob and Jane made. I was taken to the house after that reunion by my Aunt Eunice Whitaker and her brother, Uncle Charles Whitaker, Sr. of Bells, TN. Rob took us on tour and I remember the music room with the antique piano. All good Whitaker memories thanks to Rob's gracioousness.

My deepest sympathy to family and friends. She is the kindest, nicest, loving person. She will be greatly missed.

Betty Lou and Bunny, So sorry to learn Ethel has left us. Seems our family is really getting smaller. I do think of you often especially when I use the little hand held chopper that Patricia gave me that belonged to Aunt Mildred. I know you will miss her just as I still miss Wayne so much.. Praying for you and love you. Judi

Joyce, Jerry, Deborah, Wanda and other family members, I just saw that Buddy passed away and condolences for you all and prayers in your grief. We all spent so much time together in one way or another at church, sports, the store. Each time I came home since the mid-70's and ran into Buddy, he always wanted to know how I was doing and what I was up to those days, be it in the military or whatever. I have many fond memories of Joyce and Buddy hosting a multiple year class reunion of MHS in your backyard in 1980, just before I left to enter the Marine Corps. It meant so much to me, Joyce, that Buddy and you did this not knowing where fate would take during the Iran hostage crisis. To Jerry, Deborah, and Wanda...I've known you all for so many years growing up, playind sports with Jerry, and coaching Wanda. You all had a wonderful Dad. My condolences to you all. Harry Vann in Vermont

It is difficult when we lose someone we love. She was a force of nature, and one tough and loving cookie. She enjoyed life, and she enjoyed her family. Yes, we will all miss her, however, we have Jesus, our relatives and friends to comfort us through this time of loss. Knowing where she is does ease my mind and just remember this; she will always be there in the memories and legacy she left. You need to know if you need to talk to me about it; I will be glad to do that. Belinda and I will be praying for you as you go through, well as we go through this with you.

"The service was so wonderful, the beautiful Testimony of a GODLY Lady. Cathy preached her own Homegoing Service, by the Life of Service she lived. I will miss her tremendously. My Family sends prayers of PEACE and COMFORT in this time of missing her physical present. We know we’ll undoubtedly we’ll see Cathy soon. BLESSED HOPE, Cathy knew she’d be experiencing it soon. We still KNOW, by HIS WORD, The Long Eternity together is going to come by passing or rapture. Praise GOD for Cathy’s HEALING! Much LOVE, Teresa “Reesie” Turner and Dallesport, and Ann Wighins"

Cathy was so much to my family. She was my 25 yr old sons teacher and my 20 yr olds librarian. She and Bill both were on worship team with us at carpenter shop. We spent social time with them. She made my daughter a blanket when she was born amd we had been in Charleston several years at this point. Her love for bill and her kids and grandbabies and God were her biggest accomplishments. Bill, kids, grandkids, we are so sorry for your loss and she will be dearly missed. Please let us know if we can help in any way. With so much love. Sheila

Sending prayers and comfort to the Family of Mrs. Piland! She was a wonderful person.

So very sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Cathys passing. I met her MANY years ago when we both worked at Roses. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of working with Cathy in the media center for several years.We became great friends and even called each other sister. She was a great asset and wonderful librarian to BPS. We will truly miss her smile and bubbly personality. I will missyou my friend

I had the pleasure of working with Cathy at Bearfield Primary School until my retirement. She was one of the sweetest and smartest people I know. There was not a question about a book or anything in her Media Center that she couldn’t answer. I taught Austin in first grade and she was always there to lend a helping hand.She will truly be missed. We love you Mrs. Poland. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

She was a wonderful person in side and out.

I am so sorry to hear about Cathy.There are so many fun memories.I will always remember our friendship. We had babies within days of each other. She was due before me and I went first. She had a few choice words for me.. “ not bad ones” And she was coming in my room within a few hours….. Her and I had a lot of fun times……We were busy raising our families and working and didn’t visit as much as we had but we always knew the bond between us. I will miss seeing her and always knowing she was there….. Love to you LeAnne,Chris,& Zack

As a teenager many years ago, my first job was as a cashier at Roses Dept Store where I worked with Cathy. I remember being such a sweet person and always smiling. Prayers for her family during this sad and difficult time.

Cathy was MY Pi-Land and I was her TANN! She was my human GOOGLE! She was one of the SMARTEST women I knew. I am truly going to miss my Pi-Land..We love her but God loves her best!

It was a pleasure working with Cathy in the Media Center. She taught me so much.

Cathy Piland was such a BIG part of everyone’s life at Bearfield Primary School. She taught everyone to be the best and to strive to set goals and to reach them. You felt her love whenever you entered the Media Center. Students learned the love of reading and they grew so much because of Cathy. We will all try our very best to keep her dream and her passion alive. I miss and love her very much. Thanks to her loving family for opening up their hearts to all of us at Bearfield Primary. We love all of you!

Cathy was an asset to Hertford County Schools. One that will be missed at Bearfield Primary School. Yes, people can be replaced, but it will not be another “Cathy”. Her knowledge, know how and hard work ethic is something you do not find everyday.

"Cathy had a love for the Lord, her family, children, books and sewing. I am blessed to have known and loved her in her Media Coordinator role at Bearfield Primary. She was so smart and worked so hard to inspire students to love to read. We will truly miss her and the way she loved others. Praying for each of you as you remember the gift of Cathy’s life and the way she loved each of you. Penny Hare/ Art Teacher BPS"

Cathy was one of the most intelligent and strongest women I have ever known. Not only was I blessed to know Cathy as a friend, as her first husband was my daddy’s best friend, but I was also blessed to know Cathy as a coworker. Her dedication & love for reading will live on forever at Bearfield Primary School!

Bill I am so sorry for your great loss. Cathy was an awesome lady! Please know my prayers are with you! God bless you and the family.

So very sorry for your loss. Continued prayers for the family.

Cathy was a great teacher and friend. She impacted so many with her many talents. There are no words to say how she is going to be missed… But we will carry on her mission of making reading fun and enjoyable.

Steve, We are so sorry. We are praying for your family.

I was so sorry hear Nannette had died she was a very nice lady

Don and Marie Brewer, from Texas are so sorry to hear about Phyllis. She was always so fun and welcoming to everyone. I have so many memory growing up with Phyllis in a small town and every now then being able to hang out with Phyllis and my sister Natalie . We loved when we went back home and got to hang out and catch up where we left off from the year before, Rest In Peace my friend , and god bless .

Phyllis was one of my families closest , well like another sister & daughter to us. No words can say or tell the lose we all feel .. She had a smile that would calm any situation, simply put.. an angel that walked among us

Phyllis was such a sweet and kind friend. Everyone that knew her loved her. She always had a smile even in her darkest hours. She truly loved life and all it had to offer. I know with the both of us sick in the last year or so we didn't get to see each other as we once did but I will never forget her sweet loving soul. May God give Steve, Summer and the rest of her family and friends comfort and peace during this time and the days ahead. I will truly miss you my friend. Rest in the arms of your Savior and may we see you again someday soon.

I was heartbroken to hear the news about Phyllis my heart goes out to Steve and Summer and the rest of the family, she was a kind soul, sweet, caring, Loving,smart,kind full of life and a great laugh. She Loved her family and friends.I have known Phyllis since we were children going to church here in Scotland Neck. She talked about her family and friends with a smile on her face, She talked about God and her father who was the apple of her eye daddy girl for sure,Phyllis put up a hard battle but she is free from the pain and rejoicing in the arms of God, we hated to see her go but she will never be forgotten by all who loved her.

Lisa & girls, surly the pride of her life. I just learned of your Mom's passing light night. I worked with Linda at ESC when you were a little girl, loved her then and still do, she was such a delight to know always a smile and would make you laugh before your conversation was over. She has suffered so much but now she is in the arms of her savior and in no more pain. God be with you and the girls as you go through this time of grief may he grand you peace and comfort knowing he is holding her until you meet again.

Rest In Peace sweet friend! You were a kind soul and will be missed by many. God Bless the family and friends

Phyllis and I go way back. We were friends for life from the first moment we met. Life carried me in different directions from Phyllis and time in between seeing each other were some times very long, but we could always pick up right where we had left off. She was like a sister to me and helped me through difficult times in my life. She was always ready to listen, but never judged. I will miss her so very much. She was an inspiration to me. I Loved her. I’m so thankful the Lord has taken her home where she will suffer no more. I pray that God will comfort her family during the difficult time.

Words cannot adequately capture what a beautiful person Phyllis was and her soul will always be. Hugs and prayers with Steve and all of the McKinsey and Watson families.

Phyllis was always such a kind person who always had a friendly smile and gave tirelessly of her time. May our Heavenly Father bring comfort and peace to her family and friends.

Have known her for many,many years. Always so sweet. God bless everyone during this trying time..

My prayers are being lifted for your family during this time of loss.

We were so sorry to hear this. Earl was a true gentleman, a wonderful businessman, and he loved his family.

He was absolutely one of the sweetest men I ever knew. He was just as handsome as he was sweet. I know his family will miss him terribly. Anytime he helped my husband and I he made me feel like everything was gonna be OK. He was absolutely a kind spirit in this world.

I’ve known Earl since the early 1970s when we both worked for Sidney Burnett. He was a pleasant, practical and down-to-earth co-worker. Thankfully, he stayed in Hobgood, opened his own business, and shared his goodwill with the church and community. He will be greatly missed.

Earl will surely be missed. I grew up down the road from Earl and family. Great man and neighbor. Comfort and peace for the family.

Vida Rae, Ronnie, Donald & Family: I am so sorry for your loss. Treasure the wonderful memories of him as he will forever live in your heart.

A true gentleman and someone I Loved. I will miss his smiles and talks. God Speed Mr Earl. I will miss you

David Twiford told me of Sarah. I was so saddened to hear of this. It must be so hard to lose your partner of fifty-four years, Woo. Though I didn’t know your wife, I know the qualities she would have had from knowing you. I have been praying for you and your sons and will continue to do so. God will bring you comfort. I would have loved to have known more about your life and family which time and distance have prevented. I have great memories of our families at the beach. God bless you, Woo!

So sorry to hear about Mrs. Nanette. I know she will be missed. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers now and days to come.

I am shocked and saddened by this news. Adrienne was a delightful student in two of my English classes, Golden Age Children's Literature in Fall 2020 and Victorian Literature in Spring 2021. Her persistence in pursuing her MA across time, while working for the Dean's Office, and her encouraging attitude and thoughtful remarks about the literature were a delight to me. She offered particularly insightful comments about Victorian Literature from her perspective as a writer. I'll be praying for you--her parents, sister and brother-in-law, grandmother, and aunts and uncle--this week especially, but also as you come to mind in the next few months. I know this strong woman of faith and compassion will be greatly missed.

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Todd. She was a very kind lady. I hope that Worth and the rest of her family and friends are comforted at this trying time.

Marilyn and family - I cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling at this time. Just know you have friends praying for you and that God has a plan,

Rachel was such a kind & sweet lady & always had a smile. She will be sorely missed.

Adrienne will be much missed in the Department of English at ECU. Faculty speak very highly of her. Please accept my deepest condolences on behalf of the department.

Rachael was a very special lady, known her many years. She will be missed by many. I know she enjoyed being part of The GoGoGirls. Sympathy to her family.

Rachel always had a smile and a word of encouragement. I can hear her laughter now! She was a sweet lady and such a good friend to mom in life and through the GoGoGirls. They were a group to be reckoned with! She will be missed by many.

She was a very good neighbor. Condolences to the family.

So sorry for your loss.Johnny will truly be missed by all that knew him.

WITH GREAT RESPECT FOR THIS SPECIAL LADY! TO KNOW HER WAS TO LOVE HER!

I never forgot you, Billy, nor your sister Edith nor your mother "Miss Moore". RIP Kimberley

Ms. Patricia was one of the most kindest souls I've ever met. My deepest condolences to the family and all that had the pleasure of knowing her.

Daymon he always seem to make you laugh when u mad and was a great helper and teacher at work. I’m so lost for words right now but I know he looking down saying don’t cry I’m just fine he was a strong ambition man who love his daughter always talked about her. My condolences goes out to his family he will truly be missed Love you daymon

I will always cherish our long dinners and talks about...everything! Thank you for listening and laughing and making sure we got together. We will always love you. You were such a bright light for everyone you met.

My deepest sympathy to Ronald and his family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rest easy, Daymon. We will miss you and keep your legacy going in our hearts.

I'm so sorry to hear of Billy's passing. I met him at Food Lion back in 1996. He was always very kind and friendly. He knew who I was, but I didn't know who he was, he's statement "well I'm a little older than you". My condolences to the family and I pray that Mr. Billy rest in peace.

From the staff of Gardner's BBQ on 301. Billy will be missed.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS THE HURT AND SADNESS THAT OVERWHEL ME WHEN I HEARD ABOUT MY FRIEND,YES I CAN CALL HER MY FRIRND,, MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS GOES OUT TO HER FAMILY AND HER SPECIAL FRIENDS

Words seem so inadequate at this time of loss for each of you. Adrienne was a special person and touched so many lives through her journey of life. She enjoyed life to the fullest and greeted everyone with a smile. Her office was located next to mine until recently and we shared a friendship for many years. She will be sorely missed and I treasure the times we shared and her wonderful books (one of which she just gave me for my birthday in June). She was a dear friend and I know she is among angels in her heavenly home. Cherish the memories as they get sweeter each day and may God comfort you and family members with strength and peace during this time of loss.

Praying for you all

I pray as her family sails this sea of grief they will find an island of comfort upon which they can reminisce, remember and be refreshed with the memories they made together as family. She left to you a piece of her heart, it is called memories

My sincere condolences to the family, Adrienne will truly be missed, she was a very sweet soul.

Jane sorry for your losd

Jane sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of working for Adrienne as her assistant/promoter. I absolutely adore her and and I’m still at a lot as to how this beautiful soul could have been taken from us. Her words will live on and the joy she brought to so many will have to do until we meet again. My heart goes out to her family.

I'm saddened to hear of Billy's passing. He was an interesting guy who had many varying interests. I saw him on several occasions uptown, but usually at the auto parts store and he was always friendly and loved talking about cars, especially hot rods. He was always jovial and I don't remember him ever complaining about anything. RIP my friend.

My sincere & deepest condolences to the Dunning family. Adrienne & I taught at Pitt & went on to work at ECU together. She was a shining light with a beautiful smile & an infectious laugh. I’m grateful for the good times we shared together. You will be missed my friend.

So sorry to here about Tom's passing, I remember you and him at my sister Kims house many years ago just having fun, sending good vibes and lots of prayers for you and your family, Tator Bug... Lots of love too you...

Patricia and I worked as RN's at Bertie Memorial in the 70's/early 80's.She is one of the few I remember.We worked hard but enjoyed what we did

I'm so very sorry for your loss images of sweet precious lady she will be greatly missed keep you all in my prayers

I hope Billy rests in peace. And I appreciate the people who looked after him all these years.

Had many conversations with Billy in my office at Farm Bureau. He was different, but enjoyable to talk with. I could always count on a wave from him, no matter where I met him on the road.

Helen, You and your family are in my thoughts. Mark sounds like a fine young man and I’m so sorry for your loss. Also remembering Evelyn’s recent passing. Praying that you will find peace and comfort as you return to SN. We have some happy memories there. You will be in my heart….Katie Howard Nixon

Please know that we are so sorry to hear of your loss. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

I didn't know Adrienne personally, but I know she touched the lives of many writers as a NaNoWriMo Municipal Liaison. I was touched by this line in her obituary: "Her greatest joy and passion in life was writing and being an author." She passed on that joy to so many by helping them develop their voices on the page and beyond. We in the NaNoWriMo writing community are very sad to learn of her death.

I had the distinct privilege of working with Adrienne for the past 8 years in the College of Education. She was an exceptional personnel administrator and a colleague who I valued both professionally and personally. I will very much miss our conversations in the office, particularly the sharing of funny stories and the ensuing laughter; I will miss our sports conversations about ECU football and golf; and I will miss the treasure of her writing (my wife and I love her books and they have a special place in our home). To the Dunning family...you are in my thoughts and prayers and I am so very sorry for your loss.

Our sincere condolences to the family. We are so terribly sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Adrienne at ECU. She was smart, dependable, and efficient in her work, which I value a lot. She was an expert at her job. However, the best part of her was her cheerful and witty personality. She always seemed genuinely happy to see and talk to me and I knew I could count on her to tell it to me straight and I’d always end up laughing with her and Michelle about something before the conversation was over. I miss her and hope her family knows how much she meant to us at ECU.

I am so sorry for your loss and am sending thoughts and prayers to you all during this difficult time. Adrienne was definitely a valued member of our COE family and will be missed greatly.

Marilyn, you and your family are in our prayers. We are sorry for your loss.

You will be very well missed by your children as well you are a good role model smiles dang it man I wish you would have made it there I hit twice at the hospital for my blood pressure third time I don't know but anyway I'm glad you're in heaven and God bless condolence to your family as well amen

I am heartbroken that Adrienne is no longer with us. She was always special to me, and I have many memories of her from childhood and beyond that I will cherish always. Mr. & Mrs. Dunning & Angela, I pray for peace and comfort for you all.

Adrienne worked with me in Manuscripts and Rare Books in Joyner Library at ECU when she was a graduate student. She was delightful to work with--so enthusiastic and full of energy. I was delighted when she continued to include me in her life after she started her job with the School of Education. My husband Mickey and I had just eaten lunch with her at Cinnamon (an Indian restaurant in Greenville) 3 weeks ago--a tradition that we kept up several times a year. I will so miss her bubbly upbeat personality. Greenville has truly lost a bright light. I will try to keep her radiant smile in my mind. I pray that the love of God, family, and friends can help Adrienne's family during this nightmare.

Adrienne was such a beautiful friend to me, and I am going to miss her sorely. Yet, I am so glad that God allowed us to cross paths and become friends. I pray for God to strengthen the family and all those who loved her.

I grew up in St. Johns and had a lot of memories of the Mitchell family and all the children. Wilson brought Patricia to see me in Richmond in 2000 when he was staying with me and receiving medical treatments at MCV. It was so good to see her and laugh together about all the craziness we'd been involved in growing up. I never got to see her again. I'm sorry to learn she has passed, but I know she loved the Lord, and she is in that beautiful place, that we all aspire to. My condolences to the family and friends of Patricia. She was a lovely person, classmate, and childhood friend.

Adrienne, my "Ida-Belle". She was love, joy, spirit, and light all rolled into one person (with a good dose of southern sass thrown in). She cared and loved others deeply, and was much loved in return. I will miss her good morning messages, "hairs nights", crazy Halloween costumes, our daily office chats and book discussions, that mischievous twinkle in her eye when I knew she was about to get us into some good clean hijinks, but most of all, I will miss my dear friend's beautiful laugh. Mr. and Mrs. Dunning, Angela and John, please know we are holding you in our hearts and sending up prayers for peace and comfort.

I'm so sorry to hear of Adrienne's passing. She worked for the Manuscripts and Rare Books Department at Joyner Library for a short time. She was a joy to work with and she always went above and beyond her duties such as helping us decorate the department's Christmas tree. Whenever she had a jewelry party, she was kind to invite all of her co-workers. I was sadden when she left us to work in another department on campus and I am very sadden now that she was taken away from us way too soon.

Adrienne's knowledge and skills were deeply valued in ECU's College of Education. Our team was supported by the work she did and we are grateful for her efforts and terribly saddened by this tragic loss. May your family hold each other close and lean on others in your community for support and love. Sending care and concern.

Sending my love and condolences to the Dunning family. Adrienne will be missed. (RIP) I pray that God will give her parents the strength and understanding needed in the days to come. Her Dad (Mr. Dunning) was my co-worker at Bertie High School. A great Bertie Falcon gone too soon.

I met her through work at ECU and she was always so very helpful. She will truly be missed. My condolences to her friends and family

Adrienne was a kind, dear soul who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in her job. I appreciated all the help and advice she gave to the Center for STEM Education and will miss her tremendously.

My thoughts and prayers are with her precious family and friends. I enjoyed exchanging stories with her about growing up in Bertie County. She was such a knowledgeable colleague.

I know Adrienne through work. Adrienne was always driven, caring, and helpful. Her sense of humor made things easier. The world has lost a beautiful soul and she will be missed dearly. So sorry for your loss.

While I did not know Adrienne, I am praying for the God of all comfort to surround her family and friends during this time. I also pray that He grants you peace and strength to endure.

OUR FAMILY IS DEEPLY SADDENDED BY THIS NEWS. MAY ADRIENNE REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.

Adrienne was a beautiful soul. I had the pleasure to work with her and to call her my friend. I already miss when she'd come into my office each morning before 8am to eat her Bojangles sandwich and sweet tea, and give me the latest updates in "The World According to Adrienne." It would be about anything and everything on her mind. Pirate Football, her beautiful family, ECU policies, plot holes in her latest book, or just funny stories about everyday life. It was the best way to start my day and her stories were always fun because she lived life to the fullest. She laughed easily, traveled as much as possible, spent time chasing her passion of writing, and made everyone around her feel loved. Her loss is a loss for the world. My heart and prayers go out to her family, of whom she spoke often and with love.

27 years Daymon!!! I am not ready for a world without you. Why did you wait so long to go to the hospital?? You were my best friend, rhe love of my life, and biggest pain in my butt. I will miss you Richard Cranium! Love ya tons, bye.

Adrienne was a special person. She was a good friend and a knowledgeable, competent and very caring co-worker. I loved her smile and enjoyed her laughter. She will be greatly missed. I am so sorry for your loss. My love and prayers are with you.

Rest in peace, Daymon.

Sorry for your loss prayers for the family

Ronald and family I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time in your life. May God put his loving arms around all of you.

Enjoy heaven sweet lady you will be missed by many on earth. Prayers going up for your family and friends.

Dear Angela and Jon and family: Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very difficult time. Love and Prayers

My deepest condolences to Adrienne’s family. I don’t know if Adrienne actually knew how much she positively influenced other peoples lives. When I met Adrienne, I was going through a lot of self doubt and needed a positive role model. I saw her as a young woman who was: independent, positive, caring, who spoke her mind (firm but kind) who welcomed and included all people and strived to achieve dreams ( no matter how challenging). Adrienne, I am a better person today because of knowing you. Thank you Rest In Peace

Adrienne was a ray of sunshine. Always happy and smiling. We met at Chowan and became good friends. Will miss her greatly, our get togethers for lunch or dinner for any occasion. Until we meet again my sweet friend. Love and prayers for your family and friends.

My sister Pam and Adrienne have been the closest of friends since college. I remember going to some of Adrienne's Christmas parties, she was such a wonderful hostess and always decorated so beautifully! She was a joy to be around, there was always so much laughter! I send my deepest condolences to her family and pray that God will send you strength and blessings.

The world is a darker place knowing Adrienne no longer graces it. My heart breaks for her family. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Adrienne was a dedicated and much-loved volunteer for our organization, and she will be terribly missed by everyone whose writing she supported so enthusiastically. Sending our deepest sympathy to all who loved Adrienne as you grapple with this terrible loss.

To my best friend.I will miss you very much.You were always there for me whenever I called on you to fix something something

To my

R

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Adrienne at one of her book signings. She was such a lovely person and had such a warm personality. I will miss reading her books. Sending my deepest condolences to the family and prayers for the days ahead.

E. Lee, Margie, The Grand babies, and the Rest of The Penwell Family, our hearts are saddened by your loss. May You BE COMFORTED BY THE LORD'S STRENGTH. Remember, The LONG ETERNITY will come, that's much greater than this short existence here. Much LOVE and Many Prayers, Reesie, Ann, and Dalles

Adrienne was like a sister to me. She was my partner in the office and a great friend. She helped get me through the craziness at work, kept me laughing, made me smile and lifted me up when I needed it. She could always tell what I was thinking by the look on my face. We loved so many of the same things and had so much fun together. I love her and will miss her always. She was special and touched everyone who knew her. I still can't imagine my life without her but I know she is smiling down on me from heaven. I am so sorry for your loss and will continue to keep the family in my prayers.
