Our community extends sympathy to the family of Linda Hill Beck, who died last Saturday at Maple Leaf Healthcare of Statesville.  She was born in 1941 in Davie County to the late Jack Hill and Helen Bowers Gaither.  She attended Davie County Schools and graduated from Davie High in 1956.   fter graduation Linda married Dorman Beck of County Line. The couple made their home on the Beck family farm on Stroud Road off Vaughn Mill Road and reared children Patricia, Junior, Bryant, and Gina.  The family joined in worship at Pleasant View Baptist Church.  After her marriage, Linda lived in Mocksville and later in Statesville.  She enjoyed gardening, crafts, and music, was a member of Fallstown Baptist Church of Troutman and was retired from Uniglass of Statesville after 45 years. A service celebrating her life will be held at 11 a.m. at Eaton Funeral Service of Mocksville Friday with burial to follow in Legion  Memorial Park of Cooleemee.

Caleb Williams continues to rest at home while awaiting the results of the series of chemotherapy treatments. Lorene Macemore has improved and is recuperating at home.  Alice Waugh and Mildred Beck remain in rehab at Davie Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing upon Ann, Caleb, Lorene, Alice, Mildred, and others who have health problems.  Pray for the Lord’s comfort and support upon the family of Linda as they deeply miss her in life.  Continue to pray for Archie and Caroline Jones as each week they divide their time between their home and the hospital in Chapel Hill for her chemotherapy treatments.
