Those left to cherish the many pictures and memories of Billie Jo are her husband Patrick Luppino with his son Michael Luppino, son and daughter in law: Charles Jr. and Kennedy Fields, daughter and son in law: Megan and Derick Lamay, sister and brother in law: Crystal and Ronnie Lewis, brother: Michael Belvin, along with her many grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Loretta Flynn-Ford

Loretta Flynn-Ford, age 70, a resident of 889 Neck B Road, Pantego, died Saturday, October 3, 2009 at her home. Loretta, affectionately called “Honey”, died peacefully, almost in her sleep, with several of her family members including her primary “caregiver” and loving sister, Bernell, when she died. A memorial service will be held at 1:00 PM, Thursday, October 8, 2009 at Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 25319 Highway 264 East, Pantego, NC. Loretta was born in Pantego on August 9, 1939, the fifth of ten children, to Everett and Mary Ann Flynn. Loretta was in declining health for the last several years and often surprised her family and many of the health professionals by her constant and repeated recoveries from several serious illnesses.   “Honey” lived in New York for most of her adult life. She had several jobs but worked for Con Edison, an electric utility company, for more than 20 years. She left Con Ed when her health began to decline and eventually moved back to Pantego with her husband Rudy. They settled back “up Neck”, in a house on the same property where she was born. She spent her last few months, weeks, and days as her health continued to decline, completely surrounded by numerous family members and friends. At the time of her passing, and for many years, she was very much aware of the intense love that so many people felt for her. During her life, in all the places that she lived, everyone was always welcomed to her home and she was most content when her home was filled with various people laughing and enjoying her wonderful meals. She loved to cook for family and friends. She loved having children around and had special, loving, knick names for dozens of her nieces and nephews. She adored family pictures and the walls in her home were covered with them. She gave so much love to so many as evidenced by a multitude who returned such love. Loretta spent over 30 years of her life as a dedicated servant of Jehovah, the religion she converted to many years ago while living in New York. She ministered to and studied with so many in her quest to serve Jehovah. Her home is filled with so many Bibles and other Witness materials that she used and lived by for the last years of an incredible love-filled life! She was married for 45 years to her loving husband Rudy, whom she lovingly called “Wonderful”! In addition to her husband Rudy she is survived by her step-daughter Janet Giles and three grandchildren. She also has nine brothers and sisters, Everett Flynn (Mary Ella) of Alaska, Rosa Bernell Reddick (Leroy), Roberta Slade (Walter), and Walter Flynn (Melva) all of Pantego, Gene Flynn of Florida, Robert Flynn (Sandra) of Delaware, Matricia “Teasie” Moore of New York, Marian “Dot” Gadsden (Joe) of Delaware, and Harry “Buddy” Flynn of Georgia. She is also survived by one remaining Aunt, Bessie Canady! She also has dozens of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, too many to mention! The family would also like to express their sincere appreciation to our Sister Rosa Bernell Reddick who was at Honey’s side every day, without fail, for the last several months of Honey’s life! Other than her husband Rudy, Bernell would be the first person that Honey saw in the morning, and one of the last people that she saw at night! We also want to thank the staff of Community Home Care and Hospice for their professional and caring attitude throughout Loretta’s several months of sickness. We also want to send the same sentiments to the various dialysis units and ambulatory transports that were so attentive and responsive to her and the families every concern. (Hillside Funeral Home)

He earned his master's degree from East Carolina University, his Ed.D. from Duke University, and was the principal of Daniels Middle School for ten years before finishing his career at E.C.

He is remembered for his kindness towards all living things--from rescuing puppies as a boy to feeding animals in his backyard in his later years--but is remembered most of all, for his love and dedication to his family.

Theodore M. Freeman

Mr. Theodore M. Freeman, Jr. - Early Wednesday morning a man of simple pleasures finished his course victoriously. He was surrounded by his family, the loving nurses of Beaufort County Medical Center, and his special friend, Barr Coleman. Ted lived 84 full years. He knew how to eliminate the clutter of life and focus on what is most important: to love patiently and without judgment and to recognize the value of each day as it unfolds. He edified others and not himself. A child’s laugh never escaped his attention, nor did a stray animal or the beauty of a steam engine. After being educated in Hillsborough, Ted enlisted in the Marines, serving his country for 4 years in the Second Marine Division in the Pacific in World War II. He survived 5 beach landings and his ship being kamikazed and sunk, to return home, where he met the love of his life, Beatrice Smith Freeman, 64 years ago. Their devotion to each other has been an inspiration. The Freeman family history has been integrated with railroads for many generations, with Ted continuing the tradition. He was employed with Norfolk Southern Railroad for 46 years. Ted was a member of the First Baptist Church in Washington. He served as a Director of the Roadmaster’s Association for many years, was a member of the Railroad Trianmen, The American Railway Engineering Association, and the Roadmaster’s Association. Most importantly, he was the only one who could assemble his grandson’s electric train. 216 Dogwood Drive was their family home since 1974. Their neighbors have been a constant source of love and encouragement, especially Ted’s devoted friend, Bill Sprenkle. A graveside funeral service will be held at 2:00 PM Friday, August 7th, at Maplewood Cemetery in Clayton, North Carolina, with Dr. James Moore officiating. There will be a celebration of Mr. Freeman’s life on Tuesday, August 11th, at the First Baptist Church in Washington at 2o’clock, with Dr. Moore and Dr. Barmer officiating.

Mr. Furman was a high-flying man, possessed of eclectic tastes and hobbies. He owned a locksmithing business for many years and delighted in keeping people either in, or out and fell asleep dreaming of lock tumblers rising and falling in time with his breath. He had a keen and discerning eye for technical and moving parts and could disassemble or assemble or fix anything he set in his sights. He turned trash into treasure, and the ultimate expression of that was in his maniacal fermented concoctions. He was an amateur winemaker and brewed up batches of apple and grape and potato wines, and he would utilize dandelions -a bothersome weed- and even turn that into wine! A few sips in and you’d feel like you were doing somersaults in one of his Cessna airplanes. He had several small planes and took to the skies when he could, even using one to celebrate the birth of his grandson, sending out rolls of toilet paper cascading from the cockpit, covering trees and his property in makeshift confetti. John is preceded in death by his mother and father: John and Anna Bell Furman; a half-sister: Frances Campbell, a wife: Toby Sadler Furman, and a young daughter: Toby Ann Furman. John is survived by his wife: Louise Furman; a sister: Grace F.

William Preston Fussell

William Preston Fussell, 65, of Chesapeake, passed away Thursday, August 1, 2019. Born August 21, 1953 in Belhaven, North Carolina, he was the youngest of five children to the late Grady David Fussell and Edna Spencer Fussell. He was also predeceased by his sister, Susan (Danny). Preston was fond of reminding everyone that he quickly learned the three R’s: reading, writing, and the road to Norfolk. He graduated from his beloved Oscar Smith High School in 1971 and continued to support Tiger athletics including constructing and donating the press box at the Brickell baseball field. In 1985, Preston founded Precon Construction Company. Due to his unmatched work ethic and deft ability installing utility pipelines, Precon became a utility construction leader in Hampton Roads garnering him several accolades. Preston parlayed this success into co-founding other successful businesses, including Tri-State Utilities, Precon Marine, Waterway Materials, and many development partnerships that helped develop thousands of homes throughout Chesapeake and Hampton Roads. He humbly supported numerous youth and civic activities and projects in the South Norfolk community and throughout Chesapeake including Sheriff Newhart’s Elderly and Indigent Victims Assistance Program. He was a resolved supporter of local businesses. Always passionate about his childhood home, Belhaven, he was fond of the July 4th celebrations and River Forest Manor. Preston was known to make a special trip to Belhaven for sausage and hot beef sandwiches. From the early years and throughout his life, Belhaven was a place of nostalgia for Preston, which developed his love for the water. Passionate about life, Preston traveled the world extensively, often at the drop of a hat, surrounded by the “entourage” he loved most. At the end of his adventures, Preston’s sanctuary was always Lake Gaston. As a generous and loving father, brother, and friend, he will always be a profound reminder of the heights to which the human spirit and character can strive. Always quick with a joke and that twinkle-eyed smirk, Preston will undoubtedly be missed by those whose lives he touched. Those people most certainly include his partners in life and those who surrounded him throughout his battle with Parkinson’s disease. He is survived by his children: Bradford (Stephanie), Kyle (Ashley), and Chelsea (Samuel); one brother, David (Sally); two sisters, Elizabeth “Libby” (Clarence), Stephanie (Harold); four grandchildren, Logan, Isaac, Valerie, and Wesley; as well as many nephews, nieces, cousins and his best friend, Diann Cook. The funeral service will be conducted at 11:00 a.m., Monday, August 5, 2019 at Great Bridge Baptist Church, 640 Battlefield Blvd South, Chesapeake. Dr. Will Langford will officiate. The family will receive friends from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., Sunday at Oman Funeral Home & Crematory, Chesapeake.
