of Currituck and graduated from Currituck County High School with the class of
1984. Although she was only 5 foot nothing and 115 pounds and some peanuts, her
children called her Big Momma because of her big personality and even bigger
heart. She dedicated her whole life to serving others. It fulfilled her heart to
make others smile. Materialistic things were never of importance to her, the
most valuable and dearest things to her heart were always the people she loved,
her family and friends. She worked at Duck Woods Country Club since 1999. She
viewed the people she worked with as well as the members as her extended family.
Some of her closest friendships were born on those premises. She also met Tom,
her Prince Charming during her time there. When she was not busy working, she
enjoyed spending time with her family, blessing others, crafting and “Glamping.”

Dennis Lee NEWBERN
Born on September 10, 1960, Dennis Lee NEWBERN passed away on February 22, 2018. He is survived by his beloved companion of 32 years, Kelly HAGGARD; his devoted mother, Patricia (Patsy) Walker SMITH and step-father Wibur SMITH of Bells Island; brother, Danny NEWBERN, his wife Lisa of Powell’s Point and their daughters Kristin of Powell’s Point and Julie of W. VA, brother, Andy NEWBERN and companion Andrea MIDYETTE of Jarvisburg; daughter, Erica GIVANS and son-in-law Neil GIVANS of Aydlett; daughter,
Andrea
NEWBERN of Powell’s Point; son, John
Hunter NEWBERN of Grandy; and his four treasured grandchildren Gavin and Marlo
NEWBERN of Powell’s Point and Eli and Adelia GIVANS of Aydlett. Dennis’s loving
memory is held close within the hearts of his aunt, nieces and nephews, cousins
and close friends. Whether you reside in Currituck and Dare counties or
have simply passed through our area, there is little doubt you’ve enjoyed the
fresh produce raised by the fruits of Dennis’s labor. As a generational farmer,
his true connections were to his family, the land, regional wildlife, accurate
weather predictions and his knowledge of the lives and challenges facing area
farmers and families. In addition to farming, Dennis was also a wildlife guide
who spent the fall and winter months escorting nonresidents throughout our
sounds to experience the beauty and bounty of these regional waters. Like many
who work the land, Dennis was very private in nature. Yet, he held within his
heart a special connection to the perseverance of our youth and the welfare of
our aging citizens, and his generosity for the community’s wellbeing was often
shown in thoughtful goodwill gestures. Dennis was a traditionalist who was
connected to the “tried and true” methodologies of farming, fishing and hunting.
He never felt the need to travel. Like his grandfather, Nick NEWBERN, Dennis
believed that everything he required was in arm’s reach within the bountiful
county of Currituck. He was a good listener who was clear spoken about his
beliefs and his expectations on the topics of hard work, connection to the land
and societal contributions. As a loving tribute, his mother states she
could not have asked for or expected more from her three sons, with Dennis as a
solid example to lead the way. Dennis left us too soon, yet we will continue to
celebrate his life with gratitude for the person he was and the hard work and
heartfelt contributions he graciously extended. “Agriculture is the most
healthful, most useful and most noble employment of Man”– George WASHINGTON.

KIND WORDS FOR KENNETH NEWBERN
Kenneth R Newbern was born in Jarvisburg Currituck county, North Carolina March 11, 1906 and died at five minutes after one o'clock on the the afternoon of August 5, 1926 age 20 years, four months 25 days after an illness of seven weeks duration, during which all that tender hands and medical attention could do both in the home and in St. Christopher's Hospital in Norfolk VA. was done to preserve his life; But the young life full of promise and so valuable to us all, seemed destined to close its activities here; and he gradully grew worse until death put an end to his youthful ambition just in the morning of a bright young manhood. He leaves to mourn their loss his father Nicholas C. and Mae Dutcher Newbern, his mother. Also four brothers, Graham, Nicholas Jr, Thomas and Fred Newbern, of Jarvisburg, N. C. Six sisters Mrs. Nellie Flora of Moyock, N. C., Mrs. Grace Forbes of Currituck, N. C., Mrs. Janie O' Neal, Olive, Ruby, and Hester Newbern of Jarvisburg. To know Kenneth was to love him. Honor, chastity, congeniality, and frankness were his chief virtures, what was conspicuous to all who knew him was his devotion to his mother. We may appropriately say of Kenneth his sun has gone down while it is still day. In the glorious resurrection day which is close at hand He will be able to respond to the dictates of divine love and justice and the writer feels confident he will be among the meek who shall inherit the earth. Tis better to die before the life gets stained with sin and come up in the resurrection with rightous inclinations than live to be stained by the wicked world and driven by trouble in to wrong and come forth that day to be corrected by the stern judgements of him to whom every knee must bow and every tongue confess. Thus while we mourn let us keep in mind that Kenneth is better off than we are who wait behind. Look up into the face of God and in your hearts say
"Dear God, let skies be overcast
that seems best to thee,
Take from my arms the dearest thing
thy love has given me,
Let sweet or bitter fill my cup
according to thy will,
I will closer clasp thy hand in mine
and in the flame hold still
And thus altho thou slay me
I will praise thee night and day
I will lay each burden at thy feet
and bear a
song away."
Kenneth Raynor Newbern was born March 11, 1906 and died August 5,1926, living his whole life in Jarvisburg, NC. He was the son of Nicholas C. and Lillie Mae Dutcher Newbern. Kenneth is buried beside his parents in the field behind the home of Murden Newbern, the daughter-in-law of Nicholas & Mae. This was across the road (NC 158) from the location of the Newbern home which was also the former home of Governor Jarvis. I believe these graves were moved to this location when the road was widened. (Note: There was another Kenneth Raynor Newbern, son of Graham Newbern and grandson of Mae and Nicholas Newbern.).

THOMAS;

worked at Bunch’s Self Service Grocery Store at Poplar Branch Landing, Winks
Store in Kitty Hawk for over 20 years, CVS, Walmart, and Food Lion. She cleaned
cottages, served as a postmaster, ran Good ‘N’ Plenty Farm Market, and served as
secretary at J. P. Knapp Elementary School. Full disclosure: she was not fired
from any of those jobs! She loved yard sales and auctions, trips to Amish
country and cruises to Alaska and Europe with her family, bird watching
(especially hummingbirds), working in her flower beds (which she called her
therapy), and mowing the yard. You should see her cookie jar collection. She
loved music and she was the organist and pianist at Powells Point Christian
Church for more than 50 years. She also served as choir director, Sunday School
and VBS teacher, and in the Women’s Ministry. She especially treasured carrying
on the tradition of Sunday lunches with her family. She was generous and truly
had a servant’s heart. She volunteered at the Lower Currituck Food Pantry. She
was an infinite source of encouragement for “any and all” who needed it. By far
her greatest talent was loving people: she had a smile and a hug for everyone.

Jean Justus OWENS
Jean Justus
OWENS, 88, passed away in her sleep Thursday, May 11, 2023 at
Westminster Canterbury in Virginia Beach She was born and raised in Currituck
County, NC, calling Waterily her home until moving to Norfolk, then Virginia
Beach. She began working right after high school. Then she found a home
in insurance at Starr Cromwell and Son Insurance Agency. She continued in
insurance, first as an Independent Agent, then owning her own Nationwide Agency,
along with her Jean J Owens Agency. She took great pride in taking care of her
beloved customers. Jean was known for her drive, determination, and
independence. Many described her as a “force to be reckoned with.” She built
her own business; she designed and built her own house. She mentored many young
folks who looked up to her as a role model. Jean loved color: in her yard, her
house, her clothes, and her life. She was also known for a few favorite
colorful words. She had great friends and loved entertaining. She
married Rupert OWENS when she was 19; they were married for 21 years and
remained friends. She was a devoted mother to Annette and her family grew to
include grandchildren and great grandchildren. When she became a grandmother,
she didn’t want to be called anything with “grand” in it, though she did state
she was “grand and wonderful.” Since Grand wonderful was a mouthful for kids,
she became “Jean” to all of her grands and greats. She brought her own unique
style to grandparenting, and they all love telling their favorite stories about
her and the love and energy she brought to their lives. Beach times and
Christmases were their favorite times because of her. There are so many
“Jean-isms” that put a smile on everyone’s face. She passed along the love of
family and friends, the love of the beach, cooking, gardening, and a sense of
humor. She and her sister Shirley always gave each other gifts of heritage, and
she has certainly left a beautiful heritage of life. She is survived by
her daughter, Annette/AJ Owens Eccles (John) of whom she was so proud. The
other loves of her life were her grandchildren: Jordan Eccles (Stephanie), Ty
Eccles (Casey), Carly Eccles Sheaffer (Shef), and her great grandchildren Addie,
BRIA, and Bryce SHEAFFER, Grace and John ECCLES, Sophia and Victoria
ECCLES.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Hasson and Edith JUSTUS, her sister
and brother in law Shirley and Gene AUSTIN, and a grandson Abram Eccles

Many thanks to the wonderful staff in Memory Care and Long Term Care at

Rupert OWENS, 91, passed away Saturday, December 24, 2022 at his home in Virginia Beach surrounded by the love of his family. He was born and raised in Harbinger, North Carolina, where he still owned the family homestead. He brought his childhood to life by telling stories that everyone knew by heart: falling through the barn loft and breaking his arm, mischief on the family farm with his brother Lou, and of course hog killing time. He excelled at sports and school. He first fell in love with "Carolina Blue" when he went to UNC for a year before he joined the Navy. After his four years
in the Navy, he completed his education
at William and Mary while working and starting his first family. He worked in
auto financing for GMAC and Sovran Bank, though his grandchildren thought his
real job was golfing. He started his second family in 1976, where he continued
to provide steady love. He was famous for his french fries, his grass, his
Christmas magic, his candy/snack counter, his penny trick, his love of dogs, and
teaching them tricks. He was very proud of the fact that one of his dogs could
even count! He always kept a watchful eye over the neighborhood by sitting in
his favorite lawn chair just inside the garage door. He loved to answer the
phone by saying: "I'm looking at a Carolina Blue Sky." He is survived by
his three daughters and a son: Annette Owens ECCLES (John), David OWENS
(Claudia), Missy OWENS (Mike), and Katie OWENS. The loves of his life are his
grandchildren: Jordan ECCLES, Ty ECCLES, Carly Eccles SHEAFFER, Angelica
OWENS, Oliva VICK, and Emily VICK, and great-grandchildren Addie, Bria, and Bryce
SHEAFFER, Grace and John ECCLES, Sophia and Victoria ECCLES. He is also survived
by his sister Shirley LYNN, a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins, his first
wife, Jean OWENS, and his second wife, Anne OWENS. In his immediate family, he
was preceded in death by his parents, Gladys and Ernest OWENS, and his brother
Louis OWENS, brother-in-law Lynn LYNN and nephew LaRee LYNN. He instilled
his deep compassion for others and genuine life lessons and teaching to his
daughters, raising them with constant reminders to "always try your best" and
"plan your work and work your plan." His caring nature and wisdom was precious
and exemplified to all. Everyone who met him loved and respected him. He
was happy and content in his last years. He often talked of growing up on the
farm, never missing an opportunity to share a funny story which would make us
all laugh. He knew all the Andy Griffith and Gunsmoke episodes by heart. He
loved his Pepsi and fudge rounds. He was lucky enough to live next door to
Missy, Mike, Liv, and Emmy. They were his lifeline every single day. He always
had a smile on his face and loved his family more than life. Not a bad life! And
we, his family and friends, were fortunate to share it with him. Many
thanks to Sentara Hospice who eased his way and ours at the end. He asked that
for a service, someone say a few words on the front porch of the farmhouse and
to take a ride on the riding lawn mower. This will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the memorial for Rupert G Owens
which will be used for a yearly scholarship to a student in need from his home
of Currituck County and administered by Currituck County High School. Checks may
be sent to 655 W Fox Grove Ct. Virginia Beach. (The Virginian-Pilot -
