Immediately after the war, Watson joined the peace movement and spent the rest of his life preaching the peace of Jesus Christ.   He was a traveling evangelist holding ministries throughout the United States. These words encapsulate Floyd’s life. There comes a certain moment in the experience of every person, when a touch of the Spirit breaks through into consciousness; when a ray of light penetrates, not because of the person, but in spite of them. From the moment that ray touches him, the end is inevitable, as he is going to find his way to the very center of his being, right to the throne of God. Survivors include three children, Isaiah Watson of Belmont, NC, Bethany Lear and husband, Rick of Alpharetta, GA, and Jeremy Watson of Washington, NC; his mother, Mary Etta Floyd Watson of Washington, NC; one sister, Linda Browning and husband, Ed of Griffin, GA; one brother, Ed Watson and wife, Tonna of Washington, NC; and three grandchildren, twins, Isabella and Jadyn Lear and Cole Lear.

In addition to his parents and wife, Mr. Wells was preceded in death by his sisters, Barbara Wells Andrews and Ann Wells Potter. Ed, or Eddie as most knew him, was a man that loved people and always had a word of advice and encouragement. He grew up with a big family on a farm and after a brief stint in the Coast Guard and selling Luzianne coffee and tea, he returned to farming the land. Eddie was always one that had to be doing and moving. His personality was well suited for a salesman and he met his lovely wife in Cumberland, MD - Wilma worked as an accountant at a grocery store and Eddie was selling his Luzianne products to that store and the rest is history. Eddie enjoyed farming the land and soon opened Wells Produce. His vegetables were known for being tasty and plentiful - especially his Better Boy tomatoes and Silver Queen corn. When he could slip away from the farm, he could be found fishing - he was known for his fish stories. He also could play a winning hand of cards. Eddie loved to give advice and encourage all to do their best. He instilled a strong work ethic in his children and was a powerful example of perseverance in hard times and generosity in good times. He was especially protective and loving towards his special needs daughter Diane. His children are eternally grateful for life lessons. Eddie did not know a stranger - he was friendly to everyone and was a giving man. He was always quick witted, often telling stories. He loved a good joke (sometimes a bit off color to his delight). Laughter followed him and it was a joy to visit with him. Eddie was a victim of dementia, declining very rapidly in his last four months of life. Many of his friends may not have even realized his condition. In his final days of life, he said "I've lived a good life, I'm ready to move on." His family is happy that he is at peace with Wilma - he has missed her for eight years. (Hillside Funeral Service)

Belva Ruth Quidley Weston
Mrs. Belva "Ruth" Quidley Weston transitioned from this life to one eternally with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday morning, July 27th after a long illness. She was one of two girls born to Aaron and Maude Quidley on April 13, 1932 in Beaufort County, NC. Ruth was raised with a very strong family and work ethic growing up in the Pamlico Beach area. She attended high school in Belhaven NC and went on to receive her License as a Practical Nurse from the nursing school at the "Old Tayloe Hospital" in Washington, N.C. Later in life, she completed her training as a Registered nurse at Beaufort Community College, also in Washington. Ruth adored being a nurse and served her community as Nursing Supervisor at Beaufort County Hospital for many years. She met and married the love of her life, Larry Weston, on June 24, 1952. They were married at the First United Methodist Church where they will now be reunited. After a short time spent back in Larry's hometown of Hazelton, Iowa, they moved back to Washington, NC where they lived the remaining of their 64 years of marriage. There, they dedicated all they had to raising their six children, two boys and four girls. She lost her life-long sweetheart, Larry A. Weston, Sr. on May 14th, 2016 but she continued to enjoy daily visits from her children and their spouses, grandchildren and their spouses, and great grandchildren: there being 40 in all! Her children claim her to be the "Greatest Mom of All Time". She sacrificed much and worked hard her entire life to provide for the family's needs, yet maintained her zest for fun and laughter. "Family and God" were by far the most important parts of her life. She raised her children to love family, love God, and respect others, besides instilling a very strong work ethic as well. She also loved traveling with her precious husband throughout the country during their retirement years. It would be hard for her to tell you her favorite places, but certainly Alaska, Yellowstone National Park, and Canada would be in her top listings. After the loss of her husband, she moved to assisted living and it was there that she lived out her remaining days. The family extends a special Thank You to the staff of Oak Haven Assisted Living Center in Greenville, NC for taking such good care of their mother. She is survived by her devoted children Al Weston (Carol), Sherrie Odom (Mike), all of Greenville, NC; Vickie Buckman (Buck), Butch Weston (Laurie), Valerie Whitehead (Doug), all of Washington, NC; Renee' Regeis (Chris) of Greensboro, N.C. and the many grandchildren, their spouses, and great grandchildren. Also surviving are her niece Christine Latham and husband Wayne and their children and grandchildren. There was nothing Ruth wouldn't do for her precious grandchildren and their families and if there is a legacy to be left by Ruth and Larry it would be that family is everything. Ruth loves pink! Flowers are appreciated or memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis TN, 38105 or to a charity of your choice. Visitation will be held in Wesley Hall at the First United Methodist Church on Monday July 29th from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM and other times at the home of her daughter Vickie and Buck Buckman, 39 Harbor Rd., Washington, N.C.

Edna is survived by her sister Lib Rose of Belhaven; sister-in-law Barbara Pugh of Swan Quarter; her children from her first marriage to Herman Dawson Hartlieb: Bunnie Lou Daniels of Wanchese, Sandra Faye "Sandy Patterson of Middle River, Md., Ronald Dawson "Ron" Hartlieb of Eldersburg, Md. and Cheryl Ann "Sherry" Holmstrom of Janesville, California. She has 9 grandchildren (6 in Md. and 3 in NC), 15 great-grandchildren (9 in Md. & 7 in NC) and 3 great-great-grandchildren (2 in Md. and 1 in NC). While at Britthaven, Edna participated in all of the activities that they had to offer. She enjoyed playing Bingo and the racehorse game, but her favorite activity was belonging to the "Britthaven Happy Ringers" as bell ringer #5. They are a bell choir of eight players that practice on Monday mornings and perform concerts in the local area. Edna always wanted to look her best so she would have her hair and nails done on a regular basis. Raised in the Pentecostal Church of God, she would attend church services every Sunday no matter which denomination taught the Gospel, as long as she could hear it and the music. Her favorite hymn was How Great Thou Art. Throughout her life Edna enjoyed having fun with her family and best friend Helen Foley. She liked singing, dancing, telling jokes, working crossword puzzles, sewing to make clothes, stuffed animals, and other craft projects. Edna kept a clean house, was a good cook, knew how to stretch a dollar, fought for her children, and stood up for what she believed in. You could often hear her say, "You get out of life what you put into it." She put a lot of herself into the life she led. All who knew Edna have been affected by her and will miss her. Edna's family would like to thank the staff of Britthaven of Outer Banks for taking such good care of her and treating her as a friend. (The Coastland Times - Sunday, June 4, 2006; pg. 10A)

Luke Curlis Whitley
Daddy has been rejoined with Mom, his true love of inspiration and commitment. We know he is experiencing peace, joy and contentment with his Savior, and loved ones in these beginning days of his pristine, eternal life. Mr. Luke Curlis Whitley, age 84, a resident of 5085 Sidney Rd., Belhaven, NC died Saturday January 9, 2016 at his home. A funeral service will be held 1:00 p.m. Friday January 15, 2016 at Free Union Free Will Baptist Church officiated by Rev. Tony Parrish and Rev. Harold Swinson. Burial with military honors will follow in Yeatesville Cemetery. Daddy was born in Beaufort County on October 6, 1931 son of the late Chacy Maynard Whitley and the late Myrtie Elizabeth Cutler Whitley. He attended J. A. Wilkinson High School and served his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict. On December 31, 1954 he married the former Betty Keech and shared nearly sixty years before her death on December 11, 2014. Their marital union carries a legacy of love and commitment to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Their devotion to each other, especially in the latter years, has been a living model of sacrifice and support. As Mom demonstrated the “daily living out” of Christian values, ideals, and principles with consistency, and faithfulness so our Dad did, too, but in a different manner. His quiet example provided love in action with no fanfare, no hoopla, and no media coverage. His life verse would be If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men (Romans 12:18). We feel privileged and blessed to have grown up in a family, where the uniqueness of two personalities was observed, endorsing the words of the psalmist that He is the master weaver, describing the process of God making man, not manufactured or mass-produced but knitted. Each thread of personality tenderly intertwined. Each string of temperament deliberately selected. Daddy was a provider to his family as a farmer. His connection with the soil of the earth gave him much pleasure and satisfaction. He was a member of Belhaven American Legion Post and was a member of the former Free Union Ruritan Club. As a member of Free Union Free Will Baptist Church he was a deacon and a former Treasurer. Survivors include two daughters: Sharon Whitley Morris and husband Dennis of Bath and Tammy Whitley Harris and husband Roger of Carrollton, VA; one sister: Polly Whitley Guirkins of Chesapeake, VA; four grandchildren: Justin Chacy Morris and wife Maria of Greenville, Courtney Morris Newberry and husband Jackson of Snow Hill, Luke Douglas Harris of Carrollton, VA and Emily Grace Harris of Carrollton, VA and two great granddaughters: Madeline Brett Newberry and Gemma Lucy Morris. Daddy was predeceased by two sisters: Elsie W. Moore and Margaret W. Cotten and two brothers: Roscoe Whitley and Jesse Whitley. The family will receive friends 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday January 14, 2016 at Paul Funeral Home & Crematory of Washington and other times at the home.

Donald proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy, stationed in Hawaii, Norfolk and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

He served in the capacity of Deacon and Elder for many years. He loved to sing hymns and loved to listen to Hawaiian music. Donald loved his extended family, both his and his wife’s, feeling a closeness to both, and they all loved and admired him. He never failed to send his love to the Grands. Donald’s health was declining and most recently he was a victim of cancer which took his life.
