Betty Swain Abeyounis

Betty Swain Abeyounis, 80, of 112 Rosewood Avenue, Elizabeth City, NC died Thursday, October 13, 2011 at her residence. Mrs. Abeyounis, a native of Washington, NC was the daughter of the late Roy Lester Swain and Gladys Jackson Swain and the widow of Rufus Raymond Abeyounis. She was a homemaker and a member of Holy Family Catholic Church where she sang in the choir.  Mrs. Abeyounis was a loving mother and friend who impacted all that she came in contact with. Betty loved to travel and play bridge with her friends. She treasured her trips around the country and world. Her love for her family, friends and church were evident to everyone that she knew. Betty’s role as the family cornerstone was felt daily in the way that she always supported everyone in the background. Her attention to detail in taking care of all family duties behind the scenes served as a catalyst for the success of her husband and sons. Her pride for her granddaughter, Sydney, was easily visible as she joyed at every occasion and activity that she took part in. Her grace and compassion defined her life and leaves an enduring legacy. She truly was the kindest hearted person that anyone who had the honor to know could have ever met. She was a blessing to all she touched.  Mrs. Abeyounis is survived by two sons, Anthony Rufus Abeyounis and wife Joyce of Elizabeth City, NC and Gregory Lee Abeyounis of Greenville, NC; and a granddaughter, Sydney Marie Abeyounis.

Linda Swain Abeyounis

Ms. Linda “Sam” Swain Abeyounis, age 74, passed away Sunday, November 28, 2021 after a brief illness. She was surrounded by so much love and felt all of the many prayers and well-wishes from her family and friends.  Linda was born in Washington, North Carolina on March 19, 1947. She was the daughter of the late Junius Ray Swain and Emma Lila Holland. Linda is survived by her sons, Linwood “Lenny” Wallace, of Apex, NC; Dustin Wallace, of Norfolk, VA; and Matthew Wallace, and wife Rachel, of Portsmouth, VA; one grandchild, Genesis Wallace, of Newport News, VA; one sister, Kathy Godley; two brothers, Charles “Danny” Swain, and wife Sherrie; and Junius “Junior” Swain, all of Washington; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.  She also cherished an over 50-year friendship with Judy Ridgway, of Canton, OH, who was like a sister to her. In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond W. Abeyounis, and sisters Elizabeth “Libby” Swain Davenport, and Carolyn Swain.  Linda attended Mother of Mercy Catholic School from Kindergarten through Junior High. During high school, Linda played clarinet in the Washington High School Band. After high school, she and some friends moved to Hampton, VA, where she lived for most of her life. While in Virginia, she gained countless friends and family members and was very involved in her boy’s school activities. She was also a lifetime member and former Treasurer of the Fox Hill Volunteer Fire Department Ladies’ Auxiliary, as well as a member of the Virginia State Firefighter Auxiliary.  Nobody was immune to her charm and humor and she truly never met a stranger. During her recent hospital stay, she quickly became the favorite patient. Nurses and doctors came from other floors to visit her daily.  If you knew Linda, you knew she had a sense of humor like no other and you could always count on her for a laugh. Everyone knew not to say the word “Crazy” around her, otherwise you would most likely be treated to her own rendition of Patsy Cline.  She used “Sam” as her nickname and thoroughly enjoyed giving others special nicknames as well.  In more recent years she spent her time watching murder mysteries, working puzzles, playing games, shopping for bargains, and listening to her police scanner (she loved to get firsthand scoop on what was happening around town!).   Following in the footsteps of her father, she also loved to play the piano. She thrived during the Christmas season, which lasted a few extra months in her home. She was the joy in Christmas and loved to spread holiday cheer. The only thing she loved more than Christmas was her three boys, and she made sure they knew it.   To all who knew and loved her, “bless your heart” and please enjoy the beauty and magic of the Christmas season in her memory. Per Linda’s request, please wear some of your Christmas attire to the visitation.  The family will receive friends from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm Thursday, December 2, 2021 at Paul Funeral Home & Crematory in Washington, NC and other times at the home of her sister, Cathy Godley, 1402 Nicholson Street, Washington.  A graveside service will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, December 3, at Oakdale Cemetery, Washington, conducted by Dr. Greg Barmer.  She was very grateful for the care and support she received while being treated for breast cancer there several years ago.   Paul Funeral Home & Crematory of Washington is honored to serve the Abeyounis family.  (Paul Funeral Home)

He adored his children, Jason and Jessica.  For Jason, his fondest memories were all the long days spent in the log woods working together as well as all the times they spent preparing sermons.  Jessica’s most treasured memories would be all the last minute shopping trips they would make to find Stella the perfect Christmas/Brithday/Anniversary gift and the countless times they watched their favorite movie, Smokey and the Bandit, laughing everytime just as if it was the first. His pride and joy was his 5 Grandchildren. Many Sunday afternoons after eating a well prepared lunch by his wife, Stella, they would head to the backyard where they spent many hours playing football or baseball or hanging out in what they called “the wolf shack” where their Bubbie would tell them all kinds of stories.  He attended many of their sporting events and enjoyed cheering them on every time.  Linwood was preceded in death by his parents, Linwood and Edna Adams, a brother, Bonner Adams and a sister Hyacinth Elaine Adams.  A special thank you goes out to Dr. Hildebrand and her staff as well as the caregivers from Vidant Hospice for the love and care they showed during his battle with cancer.  Paul Funeral Home and Crematory of Washington is honored to serve Mr. Linwood Adams Family.  (Paul Funeral Home)

Mother loved life and lived it to the fullest. We often had a house full of kids and she loved every minute of it, especially sharing her wisdom and wit. She worked at Unique Gift Corner for more than twenty years, where she enjoyed sharing her compassion, generosity and love of God. She worked there until she was 76 years old and left only after her health kept her from working. Mama never had to “preach” or tell you what a strong Christian she was because she lived it every minute of every day. In times that many of us could never have endured, her faith brought her through and always made her stronger.

Words of thanks would never be enough to express our gratitude for the peace of mind that came from their genuine devotion to Mama. I pray God blesses them with the same love and care that they so selflessly gave.  (The Beaumont Enterprise (Beaumont, TX) – January 18, 2005; pg. A8)
