In 2013, he moved to North Carolina where he spent the rest of his years. He was a self taught diesel mechanic, who had a passion for tinkering with anything that had a motor. He was a kind soul, that would give the very shirt off his back to anyone he came across, never expecting anything in return. His heart beat more for others, than for himself. \n\nAndy was an amazing father, that loved his children more than life itself. His legacy carries on through Mason’s mischievous smirk, Corban’s ever growing mechanical skills, Gavin’s dry sense of humor, Paisley’s quirky ways, and Cohen’s endless spunk. Each child carries characteristics that made Andy who he was. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and anyone who knew him."}},"city":"Wendell","county":"Wake","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"03/18/2024","age":38,"user_updated":true,"image":{"localFile":{"publicURL":"/static/3184ddb7a43f76ed119086c7e4e26fed/object_Object_86753cd3e3.jpeg"}}}},{"node":{"id":"817e7eea-646a-526c-b6ee-54a5b3ad7eb6","slug":"2024-03-17-Homer-Stevenson","name":"Homer Stevenson","content":{"data":{"content":""}},"city":"Cary","county":"Wake","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"03/17/2024","age":76,"user_updated":false,"image":null}},{"node":{"id":"696fc297-9ef0-5a5e-984c-ea1fec51da50","slug":"2024-03-16-Carol-Sain","name":"Carol Sain","content":{"data":{"content":""}},"city":"Harkers Island","county":"Carteret","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"03/16/2024","age":74,"user_updated":false,"image":null}},{"node":{"id":"1e06ecb3-bcf6-58e6-976f-cfb1794887a1","slug":"2024-03-16-Carroll-Zimmerman","name":"Carroll Zimmerman","content":{"data":{"content":""}},"city":"Semora","county":"Person","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"03/16/2024","age":83,"user_updated":false,"image":null}},{"node":{"id":"baaff4fd-d664-52eb-b0a1-77cd9921693a","slug":"article-365","name":"Suzanne H.

Their mutual devotion was evident to all who knew them – a love story to be  continued in the next realm.\n\nEvelyn and her twin sister, Ellen, divided their childhood between a sheep homestead in the Colorado Rockies and an oil town on the edge of California’s Death Valley, where their father served as the town’s barber.  When the girls began high school, they returned to Grand Junction, Colorado where Evelyn played upright bass and Ellen played piano in a traveling dance band. Sadly, Ellen died in a car accident soon after their senior year, an event that impacted Evelyn for the rest of her life.\n\nEvelyn met Fred Allen on the first day of freshman English at Colorado State University.  After graduating with a degree in vocational home economics, Evelyn married Fred and started teaching junior high in Honolulu, Hawaii, where Fred was stationed with the Navy.  When the couple returned to Southern Colorado, Evelyn continued teaching until their daughter, Cindy, was born.  The couple lived in Colorado until 1974, when Fred’s job brought them to Raleigh, NC.\n\nIn Raleigh, the couple soon became active members of First Presbyterian Church and the Koinonia Class, where Evelyn became active in Circle and served two terms as Sunday school class president.\n\nAn avid volunteer, Evelyn became a Cadette Girl Scout leader long before her own daughter was old enough to join.  Evelyn taught generations of 7th, 8th, and 9th grade girls to become strong, independent, self-assured women.  Evelyn took her scouts white water rafting, as well as camping in the Great Sand Dunes and in the snowy Colorado mountains.  She could pitch a tent, start a campfire, and cook a full birthday cake with nothing other than some tin foil and a few hot rocks – all without chipping her perfect manicure.  She later served multiple terms on the Girl Scout Board of Directors, traveling across 20 counties in central North Carolina to establish and train local satellite boards.\n\nEvelyn could sew anything. She made all of Cindy’s clothes, including matching outfits for Cindy’s favorite doll, Skipper.  She did the same for her granddaughter, Hannah and Hannah’s American Girl doll, Josephina.  When Cindy was in high school, she saw a fabulous designer prom dress in Saks 5th Avenue in New York.  She sketched a picture of the dress on a napkin and brought it home to Evelyn.  Evelyn created her own pattern and made a perfect replica of the dress.  She made Cindy’s first interview suit – a fully lined wool gabardine tailored ensemble with French seams.  At one point, she made custom satin band shirts and cumberbunds for every member of the Broughton High School marching band.  (She also started the first Broughton Band Fruit sale – a fundraiser that still survives nearly fifty years on.)\n\nEvelyn was loving and mischievous, with a dry wit that always took us by surprise coming from such a proper and elegant lady.  She loved music, and hummed a tune throughout her day no matter what she might be doing.  A devoted grandmother, Evelyn greeted her grandchildren before school each morning with a properly balanced breakfast, a Disney movie, and a game – often poker.  And there were always, always chocolate chip cookies after school.\n\nTo the end of her life, Evelyn took joy in the small pleasures of life and in the love of her family.  She never missed an opportunity to show the people she loved how she felt.  Her smile was all-encompassing, and she was always smiling, even on her last day.  We will miss her tremendously, but know that she has gone to be with Fred on their next great adventure.\n\nEvelyn is survived by her daughter, Cynthia Allen Edwards; grandchildren James Austin Edwards and Hannah Edwards-Veaner (Allison); sister Eleanor Bush (Ron); and brothers, Sam Fowler (Sue) and Barry Fowler (Sharon).  Evelyn was preceded in death by her twin sister, Ellen Fleming; mother, Josephine Evangeline Lutkiewicz Fleming Hansen (Fred); father, Clarence Carlton Fleming (Dorothy); and her beloved husband of 67 years, James “Fred” Allen.\n\nMemorials may be made to First Presbyterian Church https://fpcraleigh.org/give/ or Girl Scouts, North Carolina Coastal Pines https://www.nccoastalpines.org/en/support-us.html\n\nYou can find Fred's obituary at this link:  https://www.cityofoakscremation.com/obituaries/2024-02-03-James-Allen\n\nThe family is planning a private memorial for late May."}},"city":"Raleigh","county":"Wake","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"03/16/2024","age":89,"user_updated":true,"image":{"localFile":{"publicURL":"/static/c460958606d4d86c41488825c518b650/object_Object_865fa6e489.jpeg"}}}},{"node":{"id":"ab1fa96e-d626-5d93-b15f-85cfb5808195","slug":"2024-03-15-Michael-Schietzelt","name":"Michael Schietzelt","content":{"data":{"content":""}},"city":"Wake Forest","county":"Wake","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"03/15/2024","age":75,"user_updated":false,"image":null}},{"node":{"id":"9ee7a18e-73ed-526e-b669-02a4e70cbd8e","slug":"2024-03-13-Thea-Rackley","name":"Thea Rackley","content":{"data":{"content":""}},"city":"Garner","county":"Wake","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"03/13/2024","age":93,"user_updated":false,"image":null}},{"node":{"id":"30a04e9e-43c0-5973-8098-ca17d959292d","slug":"article-364","name":"Joan Gormly Decker","content":{"data":{"content":"Our beloved mother, Joan Gormly Decker, 89, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2024, after a long goodbye from Alzheimer’s while at her Memory Care home, Phoenix Assisted Living in Cary, North Carolina. She was born on September 29, 1934, in Newark, NJ, the oldest child of the late John and Margaret Gormly.\n\nPastor Tracy Bell will preside over a private Celebration of Life on Sunday, April 7, 2024, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Tex Culton will preside over a private Celebration of Life on July 7, 2024, in Frenchtown, New Jersey.\n\nJoan is survived by her four daughters, Shari Lee O’Neill, Donna Decker McCollum, Kelly Decker Pich, and Traci Decker Todd; four sons-in-law, Michael O’Neill, Thomas McCollum, William Pich, and Brandon Todd; five grandchildren, Anthony Johnson Jr., Edwin Charles Johnson, Christina Dunn, Logan Decker Todd, and Cameron Daniel Todd; and four great-grandchildren, Justin Watson, Riley Johnson, Oliver Dunn, and Elliott Dunn and two great-great-grandchildren Evander Watson and Cove Watson.\n\nShe graduated from Frenchtown High School in 1952 as an accomplished student-athlete and lettered in basketball, softball, and hockey. Her high school yearbook prophecy indicated she would be in the WNBL and marry her high school steady. One of those predictions came true, and in 1953, she married the love of her life, the late Edwin “Ed” Charles Decker, and they lived in Barbertown and then Frenchtown, New Jersey. She worked for the Hunterdon County National Bank before starting their family in 1959. After that, she and Ed moved to Sarasota, Florida, where she worked in Human Resources at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.  In 1979, they returned to Frenchtown, New Jersey, where she had a successful career in Human Resources and retired from Ortho Pharmaceutical in 1994. The final move would be to Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1994, where in 1995, she and Ed started their own business, “Spice Up Your Life.” For 23 years, she was known as the “Spice Lady” and left her footprint on many hearts and kitchens nationwide.\n\nIn lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider helping us fight this devastating disease of Alzheimer's by donating to the “AFA” Alzheimer's Foundation of America https://alzfdn.org."}},"city":"Cary","county":"Wake","state":"North Carolina","deathdate":"03/13/2024","age":89,"user_updated":true,"image":{"localFile":{"publicURL":"/static/dee0a2e20e61a347fba45fee7a615b21/image_123650291_50421b14c5.JPG"}}}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":1740,"numPages":317,"currentPage":146,"numObits":3797,"featured":false}},
