NORTH CAROLINA OBITUARIES
PAVEY PAVEY, DAN KELLOGG COROLLA, NC Dan Kellogg Pavey, 63, left this life for the next on May 29, 2011, surrounded by his family, after a lengthy illness. He had been at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital for several months. Dan grew up in the Ocean Park area of Virginia Beach. After high school he enlisted in the Army where he proudly served for three years, mostly in Germany, which gave him the opportunity to travel extensively in Europe. Upon his return he worked for Smith Electric Company where he became a qualified electrician. Subsequently, he worked as a foreman for Bryant Electric Company for years. In 1980 he moved to Swan Beach in the Outer Banks of N.C. where he worked as a commercial fisherman. He became known for his ability to fix anything from electrical to plumbing to roofing, etc. A man of many talents, his friends say he was a Jack of all trades. Dan was also a volunteer with the Carova Beach Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed his help. In return, his friends always came through for himself and Edie whenever they needed help. Dan enjoyed living on the beach, reading, riding his Harley Davidson and driving his army truck. He also loved animals and always had a dog. His friends came to realize what his family had known since Dan was just a young child: he was a prankster. He was always thinking of ways to pull a joke on someone, or talking about the ones he pulled off. His laugh and enjoyment of life will be missed by all who knew him. Dan was a good man who had many lifelong friends. Dan was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Viva Pavey. Left to cherish his memory are his partner, Edie McHale; his sisters and brothers-in-law: Joyce and Bill Werner, Helen and J. Warren Swain and Irene and Randy Sutton; his brother and sister-in-law: Keith and Margaret Pavey; his nephews: Perry Werner, J. Chris Werner and Jay R. Swain; a niece: Julie R. Riggs; many cousins, as well as many close and supportive friends. The family would like to express a special thank you to Shirley Rain Pecor who helped Dan tremendously during his last couple months in the hospital, all the wonderful nurses and doctors at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, the caring staff at DaVita Dialysis Center, as well as all his doctors in Elizabeth City, NC. A memorial service and celebration of Dan�s life will be held at the Carova Beach Fire and Rescue Squad on June 12, 2011 at 2 p.m. The family requests that in lieu of flowers a memorial donation be made to the Carova Beach Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad (2169 Ocean Pearl Rd., Corolla, NC 27927 Source: The Virginian Pilot Obituaries�Cremation & Funeral Services of Tidewater PEAVEY PEAVEY, FRANCES (MURPHY) HENDERSONVILLE, NC Frances (Murphy) Peavey, 85, of Hendersonville, NC, died Monday, March 2, 2009.

Peavey, 91, of Lake Pointe Landing, Hendersonville, died Monday, Feb. 12, 2007, at the Cardinal Care Center. He was born Nov. 30, 1915, in Bridgeport, Conn., the son of the late Harold Forrest Peavey, a pioneering automotive engineer, and Georgianna Hurlin Peavey, a teacher of Wolfeboro and Jackson, N.H. He grew up in Chicopee and Springfield, Mass., where he attended school in Forest Park and Central High School. He was a chemical engineering graduate of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts. After graduation in 1939, he worked at Spalding Sporting Goods in Chicopee until Jan. 1, 1941, when he volunteered for the first Army draft and reported to Fort Devens, Mass., as a private. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he was assigned to Fort Benning, Ga., for officer training school, attaining the rank of second lieutenant. His patriotism, broad artistic skills, engineering genius and imagination led him to two careers: one as a reserve lieutenant colonel in the Army Ordnance Corps and the other as a registered professional engineer. He was the plant engineer for John H. Breck Inc. in West Springfield, Mass., manufacturers of the Beautiful Hair Breck line of hair preparations. A prodigious reader, he was continually educating himself, his wife and his children. Hendersonville was the destination for a romantic never-forgotten weekend with his young bride on the eve of his departure for the Pacific in World War II. The couple retired to Hendersonville in March 1981 from Westfield, Mass. In retirement, he was able to devote time to his favorite hobbies: genealogy, horticulture and cabinetmaking. A successful hybridizer of rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias, he was able to cover the property on Peachtree Lane with exotic and unique varieties of these shrubs. In his workshop, he created fine custom furniture often styled along Chippendale and ancient Chinese lines, and restored antique furniture, all the while keeping an eye on his plant cuttings growing under fluorescent lights. He and his wife were long-time members of the First Congregational Church, where he served as sexton. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, the former Ann Gordon Carman of Springfield, Mass.; his brother, William Langdon Peavey of Suffield, Conn.; four children, William Forrest Peavey, a real estate investor, and his wife, Sheila Godwin Peavey, of the Highlands and Cashiers area, Michael Pendexter Peavey, an attorney and federal trustee in bankruptcy, and his wife, Edna Brown Tetterton Peavey, of Wilson, Louise Gordon Peavey Wesson, a Latin and French teacher, and her husband, Laurence Nathaniel Wesson, of Blue Bell, Pa., and Charles Carman Peavey, an aeronautical engineer and government consultant, and his wife, Kara Kim Peavey, of Reston, Va.; seven grandchildren, Windsor E.A.
