A funeral service will be held on Sunday, December 01, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. at Pleasant Gardens Baptist Church with Pastor Harold Webb and Pastor Ethan Hester officiating.  Interment will follow in the church cemetery.  The family will receive friends from 1:30 p.m. until 3:00 p.m., prior to the service, at the church.
