Manley Elwood "Ed" Mills, 91, of Currie passed gently to his heavenly rest on Thursday, June 18, 2015 in Huntington Health Care of Burgaw.

He was born July 21, 1923 in Sampson County, the son of the late Manley O. and Coro May Herring Mills. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Omie Baysden Mills in 2014; son, Gary Lynn Mills; and granddaughters, Glenda L. Hoffman and Teresa B. Foran.

Manley is survived by his son, Ron Mills (Molly); step-daughters, Carolyn S. Lawrence (Glenn) and Lynn S. Hester (Jesse); and grandchildren, Louanne L. Perry (Glennis) and Tim S. Bivens.

Ed was a faithful member of Moores Creek Baptist Church where he served the Lord and enjoyed Christian fellowship.

Ed loved and served his Lord, his family and the community in which he and Omie lived. Ed enjoyed the simple things in life, but most important was reading his Bible, listening to gospel music, and working in his upholstery shop. He will be remembered for his love of family, gentle laughter, gift of talking, and steadfast faith in his Lord.
