Our community extends sympathy to the family of Joyce Mullis Trivette, who died at home Thursday of last week. She was born in Iredell County in 1942 and was reared on Tabor Road in Iredell. She and her husband J.P. made their home in Harmony. She was active in the Clarksbury ECA, Woodmen of the World 999, and Matthew 25. A graveside service was held Sunday afternoon at the Harmony Cemetery.
Joyce’s ECA contributions to our community news were greatly appreciated.
Donnie Keller has improved and was transferred for rehab to the Sticht Center of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center last Friday. He still needs a skin graft in 7-14 days depending upon healing status.
Caleb Williams continues to go to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center for regular blood checks and to Duke University Medical Center for scans as needed.
Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing and blessings upon Donnie, Caleb, and other residents who are having health problems. Pray for the Lord’s blessings and support upon the family of Joyce as they deeply miss her in life. Continue to pray for the many residents who have the flu and respiratory viruses. Continue to remember in prayer the victims of the flooding of Hurricane Helene in our mountains.
