It is time to start work-

ing on Westminster's

Salvation Army Teen

Christmas Project. As

you may remember the

Salvation Army provides

gifts for infants through

12 years old. Westmin-

ster decided thirty plus

years ago that those 13

to 18 would not be for-

gotten.

In order to carry out

this Westminster tradi-

tion we need your

help. On Sunday, No-

vember 11 we will re-

ceive a special offering

for this project. If you

are not at church on

November 10, we will

be receiving donations

until December 11.

The Outreach Commit-

tee asks everyone to

join us in making this

a happy Christmas for

these teens. Let us all

give from the riches God

has blessed us with to

help those in our com-

munity that have less.

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now these three

remain: Faith,

Hope

& Love.

But the greatest of

these is love!

Thank you from the depths of our hearts, for your calls, visits, gifts of food and flow-

ers, but mostly for your prayers. We felt your love envelope us and lighten our bur-

dens. Momma was all about showing love for others. There were no strangers in her

life and that is something that was reflected back on us during her time of illness and

passing. We were surrounded by “family” and that’s all we felt, no strangers. We are

forever grateful for you all. In Christ’s love~ The Howard Family

Our sympathy goes to

& Anna lost both

days of each other.

Sympathy to the family

of Kathleen Ann Greer.

passed away peacefully, October 23, 2019.

Born to Geneva and Arthur Blankenship of Tuscumbia on June 13th, 1929, she was the youngest of eight siblings. She attended the Uni-

versity of Alabama, where she was a member of Delta Gamma sorority. The Step Singing competitions was one of her favorite activities.

After graduation, she moved to Washington D.C. to work in the office of Senator Listerhill. Upon returning to Tuscumbia, she taught

English at Deshler High School. Soon she married James “Jim” L. Hicks, Jr. in 1954.

Now residing in Florence, they had four children, Katherine (Monroe) Jones, Frances (Richard) Graham, James (Kim) Hicks and Jenny

Ann (John) Greer. Kate was a kindergarten teacher for Little Angel in Florence for many years. She left to join the Counseling staff at

Bradshaw High School as an administrative assistant. Many students loved her and were grateful for her help in attaining scholarships

for them.

Kate and Jim were founding members of Westminster Presbyterian Church, where she sang Second Seprano in the choir for over 50

years. She so loved taking care of her five grandchildren, Coulson Gray, Natalie and Katelyn Graham, and Anna and Sims Greer.

The family is grateful to her caregivers and the staff of HomeInstead and Mitchell Hollingsworth.

Services will be Sunday, October 27, 2019, 1 p.m. at Westminster Presbyterian Church with Reverend John McKell officiating. Following

the service will be the visitation from 1:45 to 2:45 p.m. in the fellowship hall, with a private graveside service afterwards.

Memorials may be made to Westminster Presbyterian Church, Florence, AL.

Update on Sheryl Curtis

(Janice McKell’s sister): She

has completed her 20 wks of

chemo. After a month of rest,

she had surgery Oct 22 to

remove 3 lymph nodes & the

markers. All went very well.

After she recovers she will

begin 35 weekdays of radia-

tion as a precautionary meas-

ure. The Dr. seems to think

the cancer is completely

gone, but radiation is stand-

ard procedure. She wants to

thank everyone for their

cards and prayers.

We will resume our Fellowship

Luncheons In January 2020. En-

joy your family during the holi-

days!
