January 10, 1927 - July 22, 2020Dear Church Family,
On Wednesday, July 22, church member Jeanne Bagley died at the age of 93. Affectionately known as “Mama Jeanne”, Jeanne’s life was defined by her commitment to her family, and her compassion & help for others. As a member of Duke Memorial since 1978, Jeanne taught Sunday School for over 30 years! Her children affectionately recall the way she breathed life into scripture through crafts, songs and games like "Bible Baseball." Jeanne and her late husband, Charles, were members of the Open Door Sunday School Class for many years; Their children are especially grateful for the ways Open Door's friendship, prayers and love created a faith family with and for their parents. As we celebrate Jeanne's life, may God grant us grace, that in pain we may find comfort, in sorrow, hope, and in death, resurrection. Peace, Pastor Heather |

April 3, 1923 - July 17, 2020Dear Church Family,
It is with sadness that we send word of the death of church member Betty Craig. Betty and her husband Chick were members here at Duke Memorial since 1961. They were both very active leaders in the church, and helped to make Duke Memorial feel like home to many members and visitors over the years. Betty was an active member of Circle 8, the Lillie Duke Sunday School Class, sang in the choir, and was a member of United Methodist Women. Betty's daughter, Sarah, shared that her mom told her a year ago that "she was ready." Her health had been declining, and Sarah and the rest of the family rejoice that Betty is now whole once more, rejoicing in the glory and presence of God. As we grieve Betty's earthly death, we rejoice that she is now swept up in the communion of all the saints who've gone before her, even as we live in the hope of that great day for ourselves. Peace, Pastor Jennifer |

Due to the health and safety concerns during the pandemic, a service will be held at a later date. However, we'd like to invite Betty's church family and friends to gather virtually. We can take time to share our memories and stories about Betty, even though we can't be together in person.
