JAMES VIRDELL FRY James V. Fry, age 98, passed away on Friday, November 26, 2010. Funeral services were held Saturday, December 4, 2010 at Arlington Church of Christ in Jacksonville, Florida. Acie Sanders officiated. Interment was at Arlington Memorial Park. James Virdell Fry was the eldest of 10 children born to Jess C. and Maude V. Fry on August 2, 1912 in Trimble, TN. He lived there until moving to the Mt. Olive community near Dyer in 1932. Mr. Fry married Alyse Vernell Fleming on October 9, 1933 and they moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1935. Together they had three children. Vernell passed away in 1987. After several years as an auto mechanic and an over the road truck driver, he retired in 1978 and moved to Jacksonville, Florida. In 1989 Jim married Treva Knight. She passed away in 1998. James was a man who made friends easily and was willing to lend a helping hand whenever possible. He was a marvel to those who knew him; not only with his knowledge of how things worked, but also how hard he would work in spite of his age. Jim, as he was known by many, accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior in early 1989. He made Arlington Church of Christ his home congregation where he worshipped and worked diligently for the Lord until he was called to his eternal rest. James Fry is survived by his three children: Wanda Vasko, Beverly Verhines and James Fry; two step-children: June Campbell and Karen Love; 17 grandchildren, 30 great grand children, eight great, great grandchildren, three siblings: Bill Fry, Juanita Worrell and Sherer Fry; also numerous nieces, nephews and dear friends. Although his spirit no longer resides in his earthly body, his spirit lives on in each and everyone he came into contact with. Each of us left behind has our own pleasant memories of time spent and shared with Jim.
Card of Thanks
It has been said that there were three words in the English vocabulary than are more solemn that all of the others; they are life, death and eternity. Life is more solemn than death; for to live is more serious than to die and eternity is more solemn than life and death; for one often ponders where they will spend eternity. The object of Christ’s death was life, and a Christian death gives one a more abundant life. For a Christian death is a joyful messenger of peace; whose hands open the gate and let’s the oppressed go free. The gate of peace was opened on Monday, December 27, 2010 at Bailey Park Living Center, when our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, niece and friend Brenda Kay BookerOverstreet was called to her heavenly home. Brenda was born in Bradford to the late Tommie Dee and Annie Mae Booker. Brenda accepted and confessed Christ as her personal Savior. She was a member of Full Deliverance Ministries serving in the senior choir, usher board and greeter until her health began to fail. Brenda believed in the power of prayer and demonstrated her faith throughout her illness. Brenda never lost her joy in the Lord nor did she ever lose her praise for His goodness. Brenda has been separated from that old ailing frame and now is resting so peacefully away from all sickness and pain. She began a new life in a heavenlt land. Brenda leaves to cherish her precious memories five sons, Kenneth G. Overstreet of Clarksville, Timothy Overstreet of Dyer, Andre Overstreet of Whiteville, Tommy D. Overstreet of Dyer and Steven C. Overstreet of Humboldt, twenty two grandchildren, one brother, Douglas and wife Liz Skinner of Dyer, one aunt, Florine Paul of Kalamazoo, MI, two uncles, J.W. Harkness of St. Louis MO and Joe W. Booker of Panama City, FL., earthly mother Elizabeth Yarbrough, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Brenda was predeceased by one daughter, Janae Overstreet, her mother and father, two sisters, Wilma Booker and Evelyn Clark and one brother, Willie Booker.
