Solon Giddeons

Solon Giddeons, age 88, of Willard, NC left this earthly life to be forever with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on Saturday, December 7, 2019.  He was surrounded by his loving family as he departed to his heavenly home.

Born on August 16, 1931 in Pender County, Mr Giddeons was the son of the late Taft and Rena Groves Giddeons. He was also preceded in death by his brother, Pete Giddeons and sister, Vernell G. Futrell.

He served his country honorably the US Army, 82nd Airborne Division.  Mr. Giddeons was owner and operator of Giddeons Appliance Repair until he retired and was a faithful member of Peniel Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church.

Surviving to cherish his memory is his devoted wife of 65 years, Lucille Padgett Giddeons; his loving children, Kathy Grace Smith and husband, Troy of Rich Square, NC, Kay Karpuk and husband, Mike of Rose Hill and Steven Solon Giddeons and wife, Christy of Wallace; grandchildren, Stacey Spence and husband, Brandon, Chris Giddeons, Brandon Bradshaw,  Megan Neal, Laura Lee Hassell and husband, Matt and Alex Karpuk; great granddaughters, Kaylee Grace Bradshaw and Sadie Grace; brothers, Ray Gideon of Surf City, and Glenn Giddeon and wife, Brenda of Wallace and numerous nieces, nephew, extended family and friends that loved Solon dearly.

Solon was a loving husband and caring father whose life was dedicated to his Lord, his wife and his children. He was a hard worker and great provider for his family.  Solon loved people and he never met a stranger.  During his years repairing appliances he acquired many friendships that lasted throughout his life.  With his steadfast convictions, Solon provided an impeccable example for his children, grandchildren, family and friends over the years.  Solon will surely be missed but treasured memories of him will forever remain in the hearts of those who love him.
