OBITUARY

Northeast Miss. Daily Journal; 14 Feb. 2008

TUPELO - Dexter Daniel Beavers, 85, died Friday, Feb. 8, 2008, in Chattanooga, Tenn., where he lived with his daughter and son-in-law.

He was born May 29, 1922, in Raven, Va., to Dexter Boyd Beavers and Stella Maynard Beavers. He volunteered for duty with the U.S. Army Signal Corps and served three years in New Guinea and the Philippines during World War II.

Upon returning, he married and began a preaching career spanning over 55 years in locations from Tennessee to Florida and Virginia to Mississippi, including radio and television evangelism. He preached full-time for churches in Fulton and Houston, Miss., before retiring in 1992 and moving to Tupelo, where he was very active for more than 10 years in the teaching and outreach work of the Gloster Street Church of Christ.

During that time he was also a member of the Tupelo Luncheon Civitan Club and a charter member and on the Board of Directors for The Shepherd Center. He came out of retirement in 1999 to serve the Lawson Chapel Church of Christ in Prairie, before finally retiring five years later due to ill health.

Throughout his life he was dedicated to helping others, no matter what their situation, in the name of the Lord. His daily motto was simple: "Do it now!" He will always be remembered for his active card ministry, sending birthday and anniversary wishes to many of the people he taught, baptized or married during his active years. At his request, his body has been given for scientific research through Anatomy Gifts Registry. A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, at Gloster Street Church of Christ in Tupelo.

Survivors include two children, Dexter Samuel (Laura) of Charlotte, Tenn., and Emile Ann (Richard) Salisbury of Chattanooga, Tenn.; one brother, M.R. "Bob" (Opal) Beavers of Marion, N.C.; five grandchildren, five great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Sarah. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be sent to Boyd-Buchanan School, 4626 Bonnieway Drive, Chattanooga, TN 37411, Attention: R. Perry (Memorial for Emile's dad); or East Tennessee School of Preaching and Missions, 6608 Beaver Ridge Road, Knoxville, TN 37931 (In memory of Dexter D.

OBITUARY

Marvin "Bob" Beavers born July 4, 1926 in Raven Virginia, passed away May 24, 2014 peacefully surrounded by his loving family at home, with the help of Hospice of McDowell County. He was the son of Dexter Boyd Beavers, Stella Maynard Beavers and Hannah Reedy Beavers. He was preceded in death by his sister Nell Beavers Barry, two brothers Dexter and Gayle Beavers and one half brother, Arnold Dye.

Prior to retirement in Marion, Bob worked as the doorman of the Mayflower Hotel on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC from 1949 to 1992. He was honored with the distinguished award of National Doorman of the Year in 1985 and was lovingly referred to as the ?Mayor of Connecticut Avenue?. He traveled the world as his picture graced the Stouffer Hotel advertising brochure. He was also the recipient of the Thurston Dupar Inspirational Award for exemplary service in 1975 and several lesser awards over the years. He was honored to serve such people as Queen Elizabeth, Khrushchev, Winston Churchill and 11 presidents with his favorite being Harry Truman who walked by every day and stopped to chat.

He loved people and serving them. He never met a stranger and everyone who knew him loved him. He will be missed by his family, friends, MCA people he volunteered with, his orange buddies to whom he sold over 100 cases each year, the Senior Center Meals on Wheels volunteers, the Senior Games Competitors and all those dear friends he met and competed against while bowling.

Those he left to cherish his wonderful life and remember him as a precious, loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather are his wife of 54 years, Opal Westall Beavers, daughter Debbie Gagliano and husband Jeff, daughter Barbie Beavers and son David Beavers with his wife Barbara. His grandchildren are Celeste Agett and husband Chandler, Jordan and Anthony Waterloo, Tony Gagliano and wife Katie, Madison and Rilee Beavers. His greats are Calieigh and Canon Agett. He will also be missed by many other family members.

Services will be held at Maranatha Baptist Church, Saturday May 31, 3 pm. We will be receiving from 2 to 3.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hospice of McDowell County, 575 Airport Road, Marion, NC 28752.

OBITUARY

Caspar Star Tribune, 20 February 2009

Ronald Harry Sizemore, Ron to those who knew him well, was born on February 28, 1942 in Charleston, West Virginia, to Harry Hiram Sizemore and Eula Beavers Sizemore. Ron was raised in the coal mining country of southwestern Virginia and West Virginia as his father worked as miner and later a butcher for the company store. Ron attended Big Creek High School in West Virginia until his senior year. He was a member of the "Rocket Boys." The Rocket Boys (also known by the film adaptation "October Sky") is Homer Hickam, Jr's memoir portraying life growing up in a West Virginia company mining town, and a boy's pursuit of amateur rocketry inspired by the launch of Sputnik. Today, the book is one of the most often picked community/library reads in the United States.

During his last year of high school his family moved to Northern Virginia where he graduated from Arlington's Wakefield High School in 1960. Around Washington DC, Ron worked as an auto mechanic; a trade he learned at the knee of his grandfather. He worked for the National Chamber of Commerce and later became a computer programmer for the Washington Post. In 1964, Ron married his first wife, Nancy Krushensky, and they had two children, Bonnie Lynn and Robert Zane, and later divorced.

In 1974, while visiting Vivi and Gary Crandall in the Sweetwater area, Ron met one of the loves of his life; Wyoming. After that visit, Ron quit his job at the Washington Post moved to Wyoming and went to work for Bernard Sun on the Sun Ranch near Rawlins. In February 1976, Ron met the other love of his life, Jane Chiswell Bayless. He went to work for the True companies of Casper as a computer programmer in August and they were married in February of 1977. While working for True for over 30 years, Ron became their IT Manager and retired in April 2007.

He was a member of the Casper Petroleum Club. Ron served on the board of directors and spent a year as president. An avid reader, Ron was a wordsmith and a firm believer in self education. His interests included: photography, woodworking, reading, history, Wyoming, and anything that would increase his knowledge of the workings of life. Ron enjoyed his dog, visiting with his family, and traveling.

Ron Sizemore died on February 19, 2009 in his Casper home after a five year bout with renal cell cancer under the care of his wife Jane and Hospice. He is survived by his wife Jane Chiswell Sizemore of 32 years, his daughter Bonnie Lynn Sizemore Collier, of Louisa Virginia; his sons Steven Herbert Bayless, of Arlington, Virginia and Robert Zane Sizemore of Cleveland, Texas; stepmother Amelia Sizemore of Tazwell, Virginia; siblings Judith Sizemore Fuller of Reading, Pennsylvania, and Kathy Sizemore Matney of Marion, Virginia; sister-in-law Jeannie Hulse, and her family, and his dog Angus.

Memorial services will be Tuesday, February 24th at 2:00pm at the First United Methodist Church. Memorial donations and contributions in memory of Ron Sizemore may be made to the Central Wyoming Hospice, 319 S Wilson, Casper, Wyoming 82601.
