While he will be greatly missed, his spirit will live on through his family and the shared memories of his gentle nature, love of laughter, and a life well lived. Rob served in the Air Force after high school and began his career as a police officer soon after in his home town of Cheltenham, right outside of Philadelphia. He was an avid hunter in his younger years and won many marksmanship competitions at the rifle range. Rob attended the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA for a summer training program in the early 1980's and continued learning until his retirement after 30 years in 1992 as Lieutenant Detective. Rob was instrumental in starting the D.A.R.E. program in the district and was immensely proud to coordinate police security with the U.S. Secret Service in 1989 when George Bush gave the commencement speech at Cheltenham High School. Rob loved his career very much but was ready to retire with his wife to Florida when the time came, which they did. In Rob's later years, fishing became his peace. He loved to be on a boat somewhere on the water with a rod and reel in his hand, and enjoyed that for the 18 years he lived in Florida before moving to Raleigh. Rob is survived by his devoted wife Lorrie of 54 years, daughter Kristin Roscoe (Chris), granddaughters Rebecca and Abigail, sister Dorothea Gleason (Bob), and brother David Krauser (Pat)."}},"city":"Raleigh","county":"Wake","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"10/26/2024","age":84,"user_updated":true,"image":{"localFile":{"publicURL":"/static/ac6c99705bfe7c2c878df123b3cf3ef3/object_Object_40a7e2ae5b.jpeg"}}}},{"node":{"id":"03d38731-4407-5386-8a85-5f40960ed673","slug":"article-533","name":"Joyce (Parrish) Miller","content":{"data":{"content":"Joyce Parrish Miller, 81, of Raleigh, North Carolina, passed away peacefully at home on October 26, 2024, with her son by her side. Born on June 17, 1943, Joyce lived a life filled with Christmas, love, joy, generosity and leaving a legacy that will be cherished forever.\n\nDuring the last four years of her life, Joyce truly embraced living her best life. Whether spending time with family, cruising the strip in Las Vegas, partying with friends/family in the NC mountains or enjoying the coasts of Myrtle Beach and Virginia with her best friend, Puddles, she made the most of every moment. Her zest for life, humor, and love of animals (especially goats) turned any outing into an unforgettable experience that is cherished by all who shared these memories with her.\n\nJoyce worked 21 years of her life at Kelly Springfield and many other jobs before that. Her rambunctious spirit made her a beloved colleague and friend. Beyond her career, she was known for her deep love of Christmas. Joyce delighted in every aspect of the holiday season—from decorating and shopping to giving thoughtful gifts that brought smiles to her loved ones’ faces. Christmas shopping was one of her greatest joys, and she could always be found searching for the perfect treasures to decorate with next year.\n\nJoyce is survived by her son, Herman Lee Miller (fiancée Diana) of Raleigh, NC; daughters, Cathy Rosenberry and Debbie Hurley (David) of Virginia; brothers, Alex Parrish of Myrtle Beach, SC and Charles Parrish  (Louise) of Virginia along with a whole slew of nephews, nieces, grandchildren and great grandchildren, including her special granddaughter, Savannah Joy. \n\nShe is preceded in death by her husband, Carlton Miller; son, Earl Woods; brother, James Parrish and sisters, Edna Parrish and Ann Parrish. \n\nWe will forever remember her warmth, her infectious love for the holidays and the way she made everyone feel special through her thoughtful gestures and kind heart.\n\nIn lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Kay Yow Cancer fund, honoring her memory and her generous spirit."}},"city":"Raleigh","county":"Wake","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"10/26/2024","age":81,"user_updated":true,"image":{"localFile":{"publicURL":"/static/00ad70725b1900faf45f6bf1c594b9a0/object_Object_51981fb086.jpeg"}}}},{"node":{"id":"fc8f2ff8-ce77-5cd8-9a31-d39e72c4be4c","slug":"2024-10-25-Alexandra-Batdorff","name":"Alexandra Batdorff","content":{"data":{"content":""}},"city":"Fort Liberty","county":"Cumberland","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"10/25/2024","age":22,"user_updated":false,"image":null}},{"node":{"id":"120ad745-280e-5da3-9d70-fb8ad8049fab","slug":"2024-10-25-Jerry-Thompson","name":"Jerry Thompson","content":{"data":{"content":""}},"city":"Cary","county":"Wake","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"10/25/2024","age":77,"user_updated":false,"image":null}},{"node":{"id":"ce67466c-492b-5b89-b455-0320c29ab642","slug":"1924-10-24-Stephen-Glenn","name":"Stephen Lewis Glenn","content":{"data":{"content":"Stephen Lewis Glenn of Bahama, NC and Emerald Isle, NC, died at UNC Hospital October 25 after a long illness.

She was born on July 26, 1942, and had a long and interesting life of achievements and adventures, but upon meeting her, Carol would first tell you that she had five children and a Ph. D.\n\n     She earned her Ph. D. in climatology at UNC-CH, and was an early authority on climate change and its impact on public health. She was a dedicated geography professor at Meredith College and UNC-G, and held a Master’s degree from the University of Texas School of Public Health, and a  bachelor’s of science from the University of St. Thomas. She was also a Master Gardener, a precinct official, a wedding coordinator, and more.\n     \n     But she was most proud of rearing, or possibly just surviving, her five children, Joe, Matt, Erin, Peter, and Catherine. She had her first two sons, Irish twins, before she turned 21. With good reason, she claimed that these two boys drove her to drink—although none of her kids were a walk in the park. She often said that having three sons would guarantee her entry into heaven. Patience wasn’t a trait she honed until she had her fifth child. (The youngest disagrees with this sentiment.) \n     \n     She never thanked her children for all of the material they provided her for stories at dinner parties, but we know how much joy it brought us all when she recalled their antics, like the time Joe used the kitchen tongs to remove a black snake from the roof outside his window, before returning the tongs to the drawer.\n     \n     Her kids loved making her laugh, right up to her final days. It always felt like the best win, making her laugh. She had a ready sense of humor. On her first date with Winston Liao, her husband of forty-nine years, she quipped, upon being seated at the restaurant’s tree-stump table, “We need to add a leaf for more space for the food.” Winston laughed as she plucked a leaf from an overhanging branch and deposited it into a crack in the table. Over their years together, they gardened, cooked, and traveled to the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, and Scandinavia. They served on many committees at St. Thomas More Catholic Church and had many dear, decades-long friendships in the church community and beyond.\n     \n     Carol was truly and effortlessly beautiful, curious about everything, and deeply principled, a devoted Catholic and a die-hard feminist. She practiced, and instilled in her children, good manners and a strong sense of duty; she fiercely confronted injustice, no matter the optics. She loved dancing, working out on the rowing machine, and sharing her love of science, especially with her grandchildren. She kept endless lists, and lists of her lists. She could identify birds and trees and make a meal from any random set of ingredients. Weather was a passion of hers, as a scientist and a gardener, and naturally, the dewpoint dropped on the day she died, as high pressure moved in and provided a cool day with blue skies to comfort everyone in their grief.\n     \n     Carol was preceded in death by her parents, as well as her brother, John Hazard, and her sister, Margaret Bennett. \n     \n     In addition to her loving husband, Winston, Carol is survived by her sister, Sharon Wright and brother-in-law, Bill Wright, and her sister-in-law, Nancy Hazard (John); her five children and their partners: Joe and Lynne Donoghue, Matt Donoghue and Elizabeth Isenhour, Erin and Al Baldwin, Peter Liao and Susan Brown, Catherine Liao and Neal Morris; her grandchildren: Lauren Donoghue Brewster and Leslie Donoghue Seeley, Henry and Sean Donoghue, Emma, Laura and Lily Baldwin, Jack and Sara Liao, and Clara and James Morris; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins. To all who knew her, Carol was a bright and irrepressible force; her absence is as unthinkable as the sun’s from the sky."}},"city":"Chapel Hill","county":"Orange","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"10/23/2024","age":82,"user_updated":true,"image":null}},{"node":{"id":"4885a690-1956-5d8f-b6b1-27bb6257e84f","slug":"2024-10-23-Brian-Jordan","name":"Brian Robert Jordan","content":{"data":{"content":"Brian R.
