Bessie Henry Horrell's Obituary
Bessie Henry Horrell, 93, of the Rowan Community of Ivanhoe passed gently from her earthly life to her eternal rest on Thursday, June 4, 2015 at New Hanover Regional Medical Center.
She was born July 22, 1921 in Miller County, Georgia, the last living of 12 children of George Thomas and Naomi Pickren Henry. Bessie was also preceded in death by her husband, Herman Franklin Horrell; infant son; grandson, James Lee Horrell; and son-in-law, H. Graham Johnson.
Bessie is survived by her children, Joyce Wommack (Rick) of Wilmington, Linda Johnson of Hope Mills; Dwight Horrell (Jan) and Dale Horrell (Anita) all of Ivanhoe; grandchildren, Christopher Johnson, Lynette Hodges, Amy Pridgen, Joy Allmond, Lynn Rooks and Destiny Horrell; seven great grandchildren; two great great grandchildren; sister-in-law, Alice B. Henry; and many nieces and nephews.
Bessie was a faithful member of Haw Bluff Baptist Church where she enjoyed the Christian fellowship of the Ladies Sunday School Class, WMU and in later years the Senior Citizens Group. Her steadfast faith in Christ and her Christian beliefs were evident by the life Bessie lived on this earth.
Bessie, in her sweet, gentle way made many friends through the years. She was an avid reader, a wonderful homemaker and enjoyed cooking for family and friends. Bessie will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend.
The family will receive friends 2 to 3:00 pm on Sunday, June 7, 2015 at Haw Bluff Baptist Church Fellowship Hall and at other times will be at the home of Bessie Horrell. Funeral service will be in the church sanctuary at 3:00 p.m. with The Rev. Steve Gasque officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery with The Rev. Richard Wade officiating.
