He attended Washington City schools, Woodbury Forest and graduated from Washington High School in 1962.  From an early age, he showed an aptitude for building things. In the 1950s, he built his own air conditioner to install in his boyhood room. The unit worked so well it prompted his parents – whose bedroom had no AC unit – to swap rooms with him. As a senior in high school, he won the North Carolina Science Fair with a waterfall project that demonstrated the physics of water.  Bill served in the U.S. Navy as a seaman and attended North Carolina State University, where he graduated in 1971 with a degree agriculture. Alternately working and attending college, Bill accepted a blind date with Jane McCall Wright of Elizabeth City, N.C. in August of 1966. Their first date was picnic under a pine tree at McCotter’s Marina, founded by his father, where Jane said she was quickly impressed by his intelligence and amused by his story telling and wit. In one instance, he told her that as a boy, he’d chased a burglar from his parent’s home and shot the fleeing man’s toe off. Years later, he told her he’d made it all up.  Bill was so smitten after that first date, that just weeks later – on Labor Day – he asked Jane to marry him. The two tied the knot, Jan. 28, 1967, in Elizabeth City.  Bill was co-owner of McCotter’s Marina with his father and brother, where he worked before accepting a teaching offer from Washington High School in 1989. For many years, he taught drafting and shop class there.  Over the decades, he was active in his community, holding many posts at St. Peter’s Church in Washington, including senior warden, a role on the building community and more. He helped found the Washington Historical Society, serving as the group’s first president, and he was a member of the Tranter’s Creek Herring Club and the Washington Yacht and Country Club. He enjoyed fishing and boating on his beloved Pamlico River and spent many happy years at his lovely home on Broad Creek, just up the road from McCotter’s Marina.  Both teachers, he and Jane traveled the world extensively during their summers off or in retirement, enjoying in the sights together or with friends in places as far-flung as China, Germany and Scotland.  Bill is preceded in death by his parents and his brother Joe. He is survived by his wife, Jane, his son William Edward McCotter Jr. and his wife, Jessica, daughter Sallie Leigh McCotter Dixon and her husband Chris, grandchildren Jayna Louise McCotter, William Edward “Cam” McCotter III, Andrew Lee Ferguson and William Faucette Ferguson.  Jane extends her deepest thanks to EJ and Mary, Bill’s caregivers for some time.  Paul Funeral Home & Crematory is honored to serve the McCotter family.  (Paul Funeral Home)

Thad Morris McGahey

Following a courageous battle from dementia and interstitial lung disease, Thad Morris McGahey completed his earthly journey in the early morning of June 14, 2017.  Morris was born in Beaufort County (Washington, NC) in October, 1937.  His parents were the late Ernestine Morris McGahey and Enoch Ward McGahey. His older sister, Betty Lou Dixon and husband, Horace (Red) Dixon are deceased.  His much-loved nephews (Dale Dixon and Gary Dixon) and brother-in-law, Stuart B. Moore are deceased. Morris was educated at the Mother of Mercy Catholic School and public schools (Washington), Oak Ridge Military Academy, and North Carolina State University.  Following his high school graduation, Morris served in the US Air Force and was stationed in France for three years.  It was during this time that he discovered a love for travel and an appreciation for the different countries he visited.  Returning to the United States, Morris enrolled at North Carolina State University.  He liked to tell the story that in preparation for entering college, he took the SAT in a building on the banks of the Seine River in Paris, France.  In February, 1962, Morris married his high school sweetheart and best friend, Sally Ann Day.  They often expressed their gratitude for the 55 years they had together.  Two sons were born from this union – John Morris McGahey and children Sophie Lee McGahey, Morris Stuart McGahey, Sally Elaine McGahey, and Michael James McGahey (Fuquay Varina) and James Duncan McGahey and wife Melissa Freeman McGahey of Washington.  Morris was truly a family man who enjoyed the time he had with his family and extended family.  He found pleasure in building doll houses, sand boxes, play houses, tire swings, a diving platform for the river and other “play time” fun equipment for his children and grandchildren.  Morris taught us the value and joy of work.  He began his lifetime of work as a newspaper boy (age 9) with the Washington Daily News.  Later he would work framing pictures for Bell Jewelry Store and other local establishments.  Following graduation from NC State, he joined Burlington Men’s Wear Division (Product Development and Evaluation Manager) where he became known as the Divisional “Trouble Shooter” when problems arose in the dyeing of fabric.  During his career, he also worked with Knit Away International Knits (Director of Dyeing/Lab Manager), JP Stevens (Plant Manager-Technical Superintendent) and completed his work at National Spinning in Washington as the Cotton Dyeing Coordinator and Environmental Engineer.  Morris was a man of tremendous energy and enthusiasm for learning new things.  He studied and earned his Building Contractor’s License and began building homes as a much-loved hobby.  He said his grandfather, Collidge G. Morris, asked him at a young age to build him some steps for a storage building and the steps outlasted the building.  As the owner of NEW HOMES ASSOCIATON, he built homes at Long Beach, Washington and Cypress Landing, North Carolina, with his sons John and James.  Morris was a man of many interests and talents. He restored a 1930’s cedar racing outboard runabout boat named “Sally Anne” and donated it to the NC Maritime Museum.  He worked with the Cub Scouts (Southern Pines) on the Pinewood Derby, the Boy Scouts (Wallace) by teaching classes needed for merit badges.  He was President of the Wallace-Rose Hill Band Boosters and a member of the Rotary Club (Wallace).  He was ordained a Deacon in the Presbyterian Church at Starmount Presbyterian (Greensboro) and also served as Deacon at First Presbyterian Church (Washington).  He taught Sunday School at Starmount Presbyterian, Wallace Presbyterian and First Presbyterian in Washington.  At Starmount Presbyterian and Wallace Presbyterian, he served as a youth advisor with his wife.  He was a humble man, an avid reader, a life-long learner, appreciated good music, always had a dog or two or three, and enjoyed the Pamlico River and being outside with nature.His presence in our family will be missed.  He leaves behind to cherish the memories of meaningful times together his sister-in-law, Mary Day Moore (Tarboro), his brother-in-law and sister-in law, Ted and Lou Day (Washington), his “Dixon” nieces, Sue Dixon Kasopsky (Mike), Carol Dixon and Angela Dixon (Apex), his “Day” nieces and nephews, Stu and Lisa Moore (Tarboro), Teddy Mac Day, Kate and Martin Purvis, Suellen and Sean Weaver (Washington) and his cousins Mary Anne Shell (Newport News, Virginia) , Sara Overton Hunter (Bob- Lake Junaluska),  Nancy Overton (Jacksonville, Florida) and Mary White Evans (Summerville, South Carolina) and a host of long-time friends.  Memorial services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, June 17, 2017 at the First Presbyterian Church in Washington with Rev.

Together, they were members of First Christian Church in Washington and Greenville. Kenneth treasured his wife and thrived as a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, and true best friend to his wife and four children. Quality time with his family was what he cherished most in life. As an encouraging and dedicated father, Kenneth provided the opportunity and the environment for all of his children to excel at their chosen sports, educational pursuits, and professions, and he was consistently present to offer empowerment, guidance, and support. Kenneth found many ways to champion his children throughout their childhoods and into adulthood. He felt true joy in empowering and encouraging others, also coaching youth sports in Washington and Greenville and sharing his wisdom and relentless optimism with all. Kenneth instilled the values of family and heritage, gratitude, compassion, unconditional love, and generosity, as well as optimism, sincerity, lifetime learning, and personal growth in his wife and children, extended family, friends, staff, patients, and all who crossed his path. The depths of his love for all of God’s children knew no bounds — his abundant spirit of giving in many ways was perhaps one of his greatest and most admirable virtues.  Kenneth loved music, sports, time outdoors, world history, and culture and, like his father, he was very knowledgeable about historical events and had a continuous desire to learn more throughout his lifetime. Taking his family on trips around the country and the world brought him so much happiness, as together they broadened their minds and expanded on their knowledge and life experiences. He also enjoyed learning about local and family history and shared these stories in a way only he could. His famous “Family History Tour” would begin in Farm Life, Martin County and end in Edenton, Chowan County where his mother was raised, tracing back multiple generations in each region. Inevitably, Kenneth would incorporate valuable life lessons into each of his tours and trips with friends and family in an engaging, always entertaining, and enlightening way.  Kenneth often said his ministry in life was “love, kindness, empowerment, and excellence only.” He was described as a “presence” – one who could share life-changing wisdom one moment and then send a friend into a fit of laughter from across the room with a playful hallmark expression, simple wink, and that big, beaming smile. Kenneth’s exceptional, one-of-a-kind sense of humor was unforgettable. His quick wit, charisma, and upbeat, joyful energy, as well as his generosity, endless positivity, undeniable wisdom, and magnitude of love will be deeply missed. Kenneth’s steadfast enthusiasm for and profound love of life was a blessing to many and he will be remembered with the fondest, happiest, and most wonderful of memories.  Survivors include: wife, Sharon; four children, Dr. Kenneth “Paul” Manning, Jr. and wife Georgiana of Washington, Dr. Lisa Manning Faris of Greenville, South Carolina, Marie Parker Manning and fiancé Dr. Joel Leon “Jock” Moore, Jr. of Greenville, North Carolina, and Alden Christian Manning of Washington; five grandchildren, Anne Marie Manning Faris, Amanda Marchant Manning, Katherine Isabelle “Kate” Faris, Asamarie “Elizabeth” Montgomery Manning, and Elizabeth Miles Faris; sister, Joyce Manning Hull of Portland, Oregon; brothers-in-law Gaylord Jackson Perry, Sr. and wife Deb, and Robert L. Parker III; former spouse Jeanne Hardison Phillips (mother of Paul and Lisa); and close family friend Evelena Adams of Washington; many treasured cousins, nieces, nephews, past and present staff members, and lifelong friends.  Kenneth is preceded in death by his sister, Blanche Hodges Manning Perry; brother Asa James Manning III (Woodlawn Cemetery of Williamston, NC);  granddaughter Alexandria Johanna Manning, father-in-law Robert Leonard Parker, Jr., mother-in-law Ann Dalton Brinkley Parker, and sister-in-law Debra Ann Parker Whitford (Oakdale Cemetery of Washington, NC); and son-in-law Dr. Henry Miles Faris III.   To honor his wishes, a private service and celebration of life will be officiated by Rev. Jacob W. Kines, Jr., Ph.D., of First Christian Church of Washington at a later date. Burial will take place at Oakdale Cemetery of Washington.   Kenneth’s favorite biblical scripture which he knew by heart and shared often was Psalm 23.  He would often emphasize and recite to his family most affectionately, “My cup runneth over.”  In lieu of flowers, please read Kenneth’s favorite books, As a Man Thinketh or As a Woman Thinketh by James Allen, and consider how these lessons may be applicable, impactful, and empowering to your life. Kenneth kept a steady personal stock of these books and occasionally gifted these copies to others — just one of the many small and touching ways he extended and amplified that beautiful positive energy and great, generous love that God placed in his heart.  (Paul Funeral Home)

She worked in the banking field most of her life starting at the Wachovia branch in Belhaven and retiring from Mutual Federal S&L in the late 1980’s.

In 2000, she and Tom fulfilled her lifelong dream of returning to the family farmland where she grew up, building a house and settling into full retirement. From their little house on the creek, they lived life as much as they could, laughing, loving, traveling, and enjoying each other’s company right to the end. She was a kind and loving soul who only saw the best in people, often described as “just the sweetest lady.”  One by one her parents, and each brother and sister passed before her, and now Heaven has called this daddy’s girl to come home and complete the circle.  She is survived by her husband Tom Martin, sons Harold Carter, Jr. and Gary Carter (Melissa), stepdaughter Pam (Kevin), grandchildren, Lisa, Helena (Thomas), Buddy, Kevin, Kelly, Natalie and step granddaughter Carmen, and great grandchildren Aimee, Vivian, and Jason.

Hyde County experienced the death of two very well known people this past week in the deaths of Edith Sadler Pugh and Jack Mason, Jr. Both represent personalities that made long lasting contributions in this county and will long be remembered.  Jack Mason, Jr. will be remembered on Thursday in a memorial service scheduled for 2 pm at Calvary Presbyterian Church. Jack was a Swan Quarter native who dearly loved Hyde County. He was connected in many ways to many people. He is remembered as a family man who is survived by his wife, Ann, and two children Tracy and Todd, his grandchildren, and his brother Phil. Jack was the manager of the Hyde County Water System and was well known for his expertise in building a system that was superior in quality and he was recognized around the area for his leadership in the area of utilities. When he was not serving Hyde County and her people by "keeping the water running," he was probably crabbing which was a special hobby of his. Jack experienced health problems that required special care and he was able to be more secure living nearer his medical doctors and the hospital so they moved to Winterville a few years ago. He often returned to Hyde for visits and day trips to keep in touch with family and friends.  The church today remembers both these families and lifts them up to the special strength and care that only God can give in times of sadness and loss.  (Soule Church Newsletter - June 3, 2013)

On August 8, 1965 he married Lois Ann Harris who he loved unconditionally for 55 years. Mr. Mercer loved the City of Washington and served on the Planning Board and City Council for nearly twenty years as one of the few honest politicians. He was a dedicated protector of tax payer monies and lead by decorum. In service as one of the original members of the Washington Rescue Squad alongside his brother, Edward Mercer, Mr. Mercer rode dutifully for the preservation of life and limb. Mr. Mercer also served for 28 years as a volunteer fireman with Washington Fire Department Volunteer Motor Company, of which his son Douglas Mercer, Jr. was also a member.  Following graduation from East Carolina College in 1961, Mr. Mercer taught Math, Science, and Chemistry at Bath High School for eleven years before retaining employment at Texas Gulf where he retired after nearly thirty years.

Mr. Mercer loved our Lord always.  Mr. Mercer told you how it was and did not mince words as well as anyone during budget season. He was a factual man and if you did not have the facts you would not get far. He was rarely quick to anger.  It was very impressive and honoring to watch a large team of compassionate medical professionals strive to prolong Mr. Mercer’s life.
