Josephine Clevenger Haddock

Miss Josephine Clevenger Haddock, known affectionately as “Miss Teenie,” said her farewell to this life in favor of the next on Saturday, March 27, 2021. Born on January 28, 1927, as the daughter of Grover and Alma Lilley, Miss Teenie grew up in and lived out her entire life in Washington, NC (“Little Washington” to those of us from Down East). During her working years, she spent the majority of her time (30 years) with Tayloe’s Hospital Pharmacy. She attended the First Christian Church in Washington, NC, where she was a lifetime member.  Miss Teenie was kind and welcoming, and first-time meetings felt as though she had known you her entire life. She was straightforward and usually spoke her mind, then would add a little chuckle afterward. Miss Teenie enjoyed laughter. Being quick-witted and an excellent storyteller, she had a knack for punch-line delivery which she passed on to her son, Brent.  Miss Teenie adored her only child, Brent Clevenger of Charlotte, who she doted upon tirelessly throughout her life. Brent, being very fond of his mother, returned the favor in Teenie’s later years. Brent would frequently visit, often introducing his mother to his circle of friends. Once introductions were complete, Miss Teenie always found a special place in peoples’ hearts. Endearing and engaging from every first-time meeting, you couldn’t help but fall in love with her integrity, honesty, and sense of humor. Through the years, she developed a large, extended family circle, many of whom were not blood relations. Miss Teenie loved to have a treat, and when Brent would come to see his mother, fun stories often developed around visits to Bill’s Hot-Dog’s, quick-runs to the local Krispy-Kreme, or an infamous furniture store purchase.  Miss Teenie also loved greeting cards, the giving and receiving of them. An uncle once said, in jest, that he thought she owned stock in Hallmark for all of the cards she sent and received. Brent would often gather cards from his circle of friends for mass-mailings to Miss Teenie. Every person she incorporated into her extended family could count on a card from her during the holidays and on their birthdays. Miss Teenie was amazingly thoughtful. We'll miss her laughter, her smiles, and the way she grabbed you and pulled you in for a hug when she saw you. Heaven now has a beautiful, new member, and we're certain the angels celebrated her arrival. Those of us who knew her will miss her presence in this world, until we are reunited on the other side. Farewell Miss Teenie, until we see you again.  Miss Teenie is survived by her son, Brent Clevenger and her sister, Jane Schauble of Ozark, Alabama, along with nieces and nephews and many, many friends. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the First Christian Church, 307 E. Third Street, Washington, NC 27889. The family will hold a private memorial service at a later date.  Paul Funeral Home & Crematory of Washington is honored to serve the Haddock family.  (Paul Funeral Home)

Vail Kugler Hawkins

Vail Kugler Hawkins spent 87 years gathering by the river — in Washington, at the Kugler family homes that once anchored the corner of Water and Bonner streets; at Hawkins Beach, where every summer was spent at the old Kugler camp, and trips “to town” happened only twice a month.  She met her husband of 42 years, Jesse Harold Hawkins Jr., at the river; after their marriage in 1955, they built a life together on the shores of the Pamlico at Hawkins Beach. When she passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 2, 2021, she was at home, surrounded by family, the river within sight.  Though Vail was born in Rocky Mount, the family soon moved to Washington. Vail was a graduate of Washington High School and St. Mary’s Junior College, and worked as a secretary at Rumley Motor Company, a teacher’s aide at Bath High School and at the Beaufort County Board of Elections. Her true vocation, however, was family: raising her three sons, Jess, Frank and John, and when Harold passed away unexpectedly in 1997, she found new purpose in life by devoting herself fully to helping raise her grandchildren and being the wonderful “Nana” that she was.  Vail’s love of family was not limited to the immediate, but lovingly embraced her three sisters, a slew of cousins, and her many nieces and nephews, who loved her dearly in return. They, like all who knew Vail well, also dearly loved the magic that came from her kitchen — Italian cream cake, that 6-layer cake with handmade chocolate icing, blueberry cobbler and buttery biscuits like no other. Each was made in her oven, but each, really, came from her heart.  Hers was a servant’s heart. She was a lifelong member of First Presbyterian Church of Washington (the Kuglers once had “their own pew” come Sunday mornings). For eight years, she served as Circle 3 leader alongside her cousin, Mary Asby, in the Presbyterian Women. Her gift of ministry was in serving others, and she did so often without notice, in a spirit of humbleness and humility. The Helping Hands ministry was especially dear to her heart, as she was able to bring meals and words of comfort during visits to members of her church family experiencing challenging times. In 2009, the church recognized her love for serving others in the name of Jesus with the Presbyterian Women Honorary Life Membership, an award which was also shared by her grandmother, mother, sister and cousin, dating back to 1947.  Vail was a generous spirit, sharing her time and her wisdom, which was always delivered in a thoughtful, measured way, and often laced with a dry, subtle wit. She was an avid reader — some of her wisdom likely stemmed from that passion, but certainly not the majority. Her wisdom came from a life well-lived, in the place she loved most, and time to reflect during daily walks down the dirt road to visit family, framed by tall pines on one side and the river she so loved on the other.  There are so many who have shared, and will continue to share, what she held dear.  Vail was preceded in death by her husband, Jesse Harold Hawkins Jr.; her parents, Frank Cannon Kugler Jr. and Viola Freeman Kugler; and two sisters, Jane Kugler Ross and Franke Kugler Rumley.  She is survived by her sons, Jesse Harold Hawkins III and wife Diane, of Morehead City, Frank Cannon Kugler Hawkins and wife Jennifer, of Wilmington, and John MacDonald Hawkins and wife Brenda, of Hawkins Beach; her grandchildren, Leigh Hawkins, Mari Hawkins Dunn and husband Logan, Mariah Hawkins Edwards and husband James, Jensen Hawkins, Cannon Hawkins, Nathan Hawkins and Shane Hawkins; great-grandchildren, Cora Vail, Sadie and James Edwards IV. She is also survived by her sister, Reid Kugler Solomon, her husband, Joe, and brother-in-law Stewart Rumley. She will always be lovingly remembered by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.  Vail’s Celebration of Life will be held 3 p.m. Sunday, June 6, 2021, at First Presbyterian Church, Washington, with Rev. Cleve Edwards officiating. Visitation with the family will follow the service in the church Fellowship Hall.  Paul Funeral Home is honored to serve the Hawkins family.  (Paul Funeral Home)

John Jensen Hill, Jr.

John Jensen "Jack" Hill, Jr. died peacefully early Tuesday morning, July 6, 2021, under the care of a kind and caring staff at Vidant Beaufort Hospital, holding the hand of Glinda his wife of nineteen years who awoke as his spirit slipped silently into a better place. Unable to speak clearly in his last days and dwelling in two domains, he still communicated to Glinda of his love and appreciation for her strength and support, telling her he wanted his mother whom he had spoken to earlier, asking her if Mammy, his maternal grandmother, was there.  Born June 29, 1932 in Hertford County, he grew up in Ahoskie with his parents, John Jensen Hill and Winifred Braswell Hill, as well as his older sister, Joan Hill Upchurch, and many good friends. His love of flying began as a young boy, when a local World War II pilot buzzed his hometown with a B-17, flying low over his house. Later, he worked for his father in the printing room of the local newspaper and then, at 14, became the newspaper photographer, traveling with the reporters for various events. With his mother's help, he purchased supplies to make prints of these events to sell to participants in these groups. With the proceeds, he took flying lessons and obtained a private pilot's license. For the last two years of high school, he photographed all the groups and took snapshots for the yearbooks. With four or five other Boy Scouts, he completed the Eagle Scout Badge, making life-long friends with them, their leaders, and other mentors. After the war his pregnant sister and her two-year-old, Linda LuAnne, now Peters, left post-war Germany, where her husband Chris Upchurch served, to live with her parents and Jack in their childhood home. Linda LuAnne and Uncle Jack formed a tight bond that remained to the end. He tried to remove his hospital gown to dress after she talked to him on his last day and he knew she was coming to see him. After finishing high school, he joined the Navy and served on the SS 422 submarine during the Korean War. He also studied and completed his commercial pilot's license while in dry-dock, as he always said, "I was the only commercial pilot on my submarine."  Using the GI Bill and the money earned after a summer as an Aerial Applicator (crop-duster) he attended the Embry-Riddle and University of Miami's Aviation Business Administration Program for a year before obtaining a job with Capital Airlines. With Capital he flew as first officer on the DC-3, DC-4, and the Viscount. After Capital Airlines merged with United Airlines, he flew as captain of the DC- 6, DC-7, DC-8, DC-10, Viscount, Boeing 727, Boeing 747, and Boeing 747-400, for a total of thirty-six years with the airlines. During that time he served the Airline Pilots Association as their Authorized Accident Representative and received United's "Captain of the Year" award for the JFK Flight Office in 1990. He also flew sail planes for fun and in 1980 achieved the Diamond Badge, which requires a 16,404-foot altitude gain and a 310.7-mile cross country flight—achieved by finding and flying air thermals. Before and after retiring, he owned several airplanes, including a cabin 1932 WACO UEC—the same year, make, and model as the airplane in which he had his first airplane ride. The pilot gave him a ride in return for his help in selling ride tickets. His favorite was a 1941 UPF-7, open-cockpit bi-plane. For twenty-five years he flew to the various WACO fly-ins. He always practiced safety in the air and on the ground. In 2011 he received the FFA Wright Brothers "Master Pilot" award for practicing and promoting safe aircraft flight operations for fifty consecutive years. After talking with a former mayor of Washington about the importance of maintaining safety at the airport, that mayor created the Washington Warren Advisory Board, of which Jack became one of its original members. The conference room at the airport is dedicated as "The Jack Hill Conference Room" to honor his service. For all his achievements, he remained humble; with almost 36,000 hours in the air, he remained grounded.  Many people provided and received his love during his eighty-nine years. His parents and sister are deceased, as is his first son, Wiley Jay Hill. His second son, Timothy Ross Hill and his two grandsons, Keith and Peter, gave him much joy and love.  Jack is also survived by his three nieces and a few second cousins. Glinda's deceased mother, her seven siblings, and her son and daughter, Michael and Diane LaViano always loved Jack because he was a good man and gave their daughter, sister, and mother much happiness. On his last Sunday's FaceTime with Michael and Diane, Max (Michael and Kimberly's five-year-old) gave Jack a big smile when he showed Grandpa Jack the two Lego airplanes he had just constructed.  A celebration of his life will be held at The First Presbyterian Church of Washington, 211 Second Street, on Saturday, July 10, 2021 at 3 p.m.  A reception in the fellowship hall will follow.  Joseph B. Paul, Jr. & Washington Funeral and Cremation are serving the Hill family.  (Joseph B. Paul, Jr. Funeral Home)

A Tribute to our Mother & Nana
"My sweet Nana went to Heaven yesterday. The most talented person that I have ever known! She taught us to draw and paint...she did pottery and photography...I mean, how many nana's have their own dark room for most of your life?? She could sew anything and everything...tat, crochet, embroidery....just endless! She even had a loom where she created many works of art...I would come home from school and get to play on the loom with her...such wonderful memories! As a child, I remember being greeted by the smells of oil paints and turpentine as she was creating something beautiful. Nana...the person that gave our family the gift of creativity and instilled in us to always reach for our dreams...life will never be the same. Love you, Nana...thanks for every beautiful memory and always believing in me."  by Traci

Jeremy R. Hood

Jeremy R. Hood was born in Leicester, England to Roy and Sheila Hood in 1952.  About his own childhood he wrote:…looking through some photos recently I found one of myself, aged about 3 years old, paddling in the shallows of the English Channel during a family summer vacation. And to my surprise I was towing a toy sailboat. More recently my mother reminded me of how I had always wanted to be in the sea scouts as a kid yet had to make do with the regular boy scouts. These two reminders seem to indicate a lifelong ambition to be among sailing and the sea, yet the reality is I didn’t start sailing until my early 20’s.  As a teenager I imagined myself a scientist and I immersed myself in physics, electronics and the very first types of computers. I even went on to take a physics degree at the University of York, England. But while I was there, another aspect of my personality surfaced, and I took up social work, firstly on a voluntary basis, then paid. And then it was back to college for a further degree (University of Exeter), and then full- time social work.  After several years of living and working on the south coast of England he was able to gain experience on a variety of different boats in challenging in challenging conditions and achieved the Yachtmaster qualification. Then in 1988, after months of careful preparation of both himself and his beloved 32’ sloop Melos, he set off:  It was my birthday and I was suffused with a sick feeling of apprehension as I winched the anchor aboard and headed out from Falmouth, past Black Rock and then later meeting the swells as I cleared the Lizard Peninsula…and it was an adventure, single-handing across the Bay of Biscay, cruising the Atlantic coasts of Spain and Portugal, crossing the Atlantic and arriving in the Caribbean (the little island of Bequia) just 2 days before Christmas.  From there he cruised the islands of the Caribbean and worked as a charter captain in St. Maarten. Eventually he sailed to Florida, and on to Galveston, and then to Clear Lake, just south of Houston, Texas, where he lived for the next 25 years and would meet the love of his life and future wife, Janet.  In 1991 he formed his own business, Blue Water Cruising, developing classes in subjects such as celestial navigation, coastal navigation, diesel engine maintenance and boat electrics, weather, and offering consulting to those planning to set off cruising. He made a second Atlantic crossing a year later bringing a boat back to Houston and logged many thousands of miles on ocean passages, mostly for work, but also for pleasure.  In 1993, while continuing teaching and consulting, he added yacht sales to the business as its’ major focus (later known as HSH Yachts).  Jeremy was a well- known and respected yacht broker, speaker and teacher in the boating community. He said that ultimately a good reputation was most important for a business. As a broker he tried to steer people towards the right type of vessel for their needs and experience. His book, Safety Preparations for Cruising was published by Sheridan House in 1997. He was a prolific author of articles, a sought-after speaker, and a brilliant teacher. Many people have said what a major influence he had on their lives.  He met his wife Janet Grobe through their shared passion for sailing and the ocean. They made several long voyages together, and early on he even loaned her Melos to sail across the ocean while he stayed home with the kids. He usually put her interests before his own and together they made a great team. He was and will always be her navigational star. He adored his stepchildren Christopher and Bronwyn, participating and encouraging them in all their musical, scouting and flying activities, and in pursuing their dreams. He organized numerous memorable family vacations traveling to “un-touristy” places.  In 2015 he sold his business and moved to Washington, NC so Janet could take a faculty position at East Carolina University. There he was able to devote time to doing most of the construction work remodeling their house, while exploring the coastal waters, mountains and woods of North Carolina. He was an active member of Rotary International both in Texas and North Carolina for many years and served on the board of the Little Washington Sailing School.  His long legs were hard to keep up with on long walks with his beloved dog Woodie. He loved baking from scratch (even making and decorating his and Janet’s own wedding cake), grilling Texas BBQ, and eating ice cream. His favorite method of wrapping presents was to wrap one small item, Russian doll style inside of progressively larger boxes similarly wrapped, keeping both the receiver and spectators in delightful suspense. He adored throwing a good party and fixing everything with his own two hands.  He quoted poetry and loved music, (though he could hardly carry a tune). A Renaissance man of great integrity, he despised hypocrites and liars, refused to say anything he didn’t believe, treated everyone with kindness and respect, and lived up to his word.  Jeremy’s life was tragically cut short by a rare form of cancer, but he will live on with his many friends, and his family, which include his wife Janet Grobe Hood; stepchildren Christopher Wyatt (New Orleans, LA), and Bronwyn Higgins and her husband Tony (Flower Mound, TX); brother Richard Andrew Hood and his wife Lusha (Sainte Alvere, France); sister Alison Hood Chaplin and her husband Dean (County Kerry, Ireland); niece Rachel Gillham and her husband Billy and children William and Lily (Market Overton, England); aunt Valerie Pickering and her son Graham (Tasmania, Australia); cousins Liz Raymond and Jenny Barrow (England); mother-in-law Kathleen Grobe (Austin, TX); and sister-in-law Nancy Grobe (Austin, TX). He is preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Sheila Hood of Barrowden, Rutland, England.  He hated funerals and neckties, instead preferring parties to celebrate life events. With his infectious grin, Jeremy rarely said bye, just bye-for-now. As a fellow sailor and friend said, Sail-on Captain Jeremy, you lived a great life. Enjoy your new-found freedom.  An informal gathering of friends and family will be held at his residence at 210 Sunnyside Dr., Washington, from 2:30 until 5 PM on Sunday Sept. 22. Please, don’t wear a tie!  (Paul Funeral Home)

They made their home in Wilson, NC where they raised their only child, Nicole Hudnell Johnson of De Pere WI. Nicole and his grandchildren, Kayla, Caroline and Bennett were the apples of his eye. Just hearing their voices over the phone would bring a hearty laugh and a round of "I love you".  After his retirement, Ray volunteered with the Veteran's Administration transporting veterans to their doctor appointments and worked part time at the Wilson Landfill. In the last years of his life, he could be found listening to oldies with his beloved dogs Petey and Patty, by his side or at the Moose Lodge singing Karaoke and dancing with his friends.

He was a member of Shiloh Pentecostal Holiness Church in Wilson.  Ray was a self-proclaimed "WWII buff". He loved to read and collect all things military with an emphasis on WWII owing to his father serving in the war and being present on land for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He always wanted to serve but was unable to because of chronic health problems so instead he participated in the ROTC in high school and college.  Ray is survived by his wife of 48 years, Stephanie; daughter, Nicole Hudnell Johnson; grandchildren, Kayla, Caroline and Bennett; father-in-law, William Madden, Sr. and his dogs, Petey and Patty.  He was preceded in death by his parents, a sister, Juanita Spencer and his mother-in-law, Grace Madden.  Ray’s laugh was infectious, and his strong love is still felt from beyond. Go rest high, Daddy. We'll take it from here.  Stephanie and Nicole would like to thank cousin-Robin Keech, brother and sister-in-law Billy and Lee Madden and friends Ellen and Marc Goldberg for all their continued love and support during this very difficult time.  Paul Funeral Home of Belhaven is honored to serve the Hudnell family.  (Paul Funeral Home)
