From Cheryl Mays Howard ('66) of VA - 02/18/05:
Thank you so much, Cheryl! And thanks for letting me know about Mrs. Dempsey.
Evelyn Smith Dempsey
NEWPORT NEWS - Evelyn
Smith Dempsey, 83, one of the most extraordinary people ever, passed away on
Wednesday,
Feb. 16, 2005. Evelyn had such a kind and gentle spirit and always seemed to
look for and bringing out the best in all those
who were blessed to know her. Even as her eyesight and health began to fail, she
continued to be the wonderful loving person
that she had always been. She was an active member of Parkview United Methodist
Church for years and the perfect role
model of a Christian. She often talked about and so looked forward to the
wonderful promise of the resurrection, through her
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ where she would be reunited with family and
friends that had preceded her in death. Most of all
she longed to be with her husband and best friend James Hicks Dempsey. She also
longed to be reunited with her parents,
Anna Kayes Smith and Edward Linden Smith; and her brothers, Richard Smith, John
Smith and Edward Smith. Left to cherish
her precious memory are her daughters and their husbands, Katie and Austin
Bartee, Patty and Aderon Gibbs and Mary and
Rainer Regul; five grandchildren, Todd Bartee, Jennifer Darling and her husband,
Abe, Jonathan Gibbs, Daniel Regul and
Michael Regul; three great-grandchildren, Austin Darling, Blaine Darling and
Jami Reese Darling; her wonderful sisters, Janice
Smith and Virginia Powell and her very special brother-in-law, William Powell.
We would like to give special thanks to all of the
kind and compassionate caregivers at Warwick Forrest and The Chesapeake that
took such great care of our Mom. The depth
of our sorrow is a reflection of the profound happiness that she brought to our
lives. A graveside service will be conducted
at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 19, at Peninsula Memorial Park by Rev. Robert C.
Evans. In Evelyn's memory should friends
desire, contributions may be made to your favorite charity. Arrangements by
Weymouth Funeral Home.
Published in the Daily Press from 2/17/2005 - 2/18/2005.
As the Guest Book for Mrs.
Dempsey is already quite long and sure to grow longer, I'll not post it here,
but will include it
on her obituary which I will soon post on Other Recent Deaths.
Our love, thoughts, prayers and sympathies are extended to Katie, Patty, Aderon, and all of the family.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol

Where Can I Turn For Peace?
Words by
Emma Lou Thayne (b. 1924)
Music by Jolene G. Meredith (b. 1935)
Where can I turn for peace? Where
is my solace
When other sources cease to make me whole?
When with a wounded heart, anger, or malice,
I draw myself apart, Searching my soul?
Where, when my aching grows, Where, when I languish,
Where, in my need to know, where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand to calm my anguish?
Who, who can understand? He, only One.
He answers privately, Reaches my reaching
In my Gethsemane, Savior and Friend.
Gentle the peace he finds for my beseeching.
Constant he is and kind, Love without end.
