He found life with his father unbearable and so by the age of 12 years old Earl had left home and began his working life. Some of the jobs that Earl had included being a pilot, truck driver/ owner, and a tool and die maker. His greatest goal in life was to own a farm and be a farmer. A dream he would never achieve.

    Though Earl had left home at a young age he was well educated attending night school when money and time allowed.

    Earl was in Florida, staying with his eldest son, when he experienced a massive CVA. Though old his body was strong and he lingered in the hospital for several days before succumbing to the brain damage. He and his beloved wife Mary would die just 14 days shy of one year apart.

    Pansy's faith carried her through life and all the trials and tribulations it had to offer. She gained her strength from the Lord.

    A loving mother, mamaw, sister and friend. Pansy spent many years living in the country, working side by side with her family on their farm. She showed tremendous strength and instilled these qualities in her children during long days spent in the tobacco and hay fields.

    She was a selfless, loving mother and mamaw who sacrificed everything for family. She had a passion for gardening, canning, and cooking. Many people knew her from Gage's Market and the Buc Store in Boone's Creek where she worked for many years.

    Pansy adored her grandchildren and spent countless hours loving them. She will be missed terribly by her family and friends, but leaves a legacy of love for all that knew her.

    The family would like to thank the staff at Franklin Woods Community Hospital for always caring for our Mom with love and respect.
