AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - While many Amarilloans continue battling the coronavirus pandemic, local church leaders feel worship might help in the fight.
“I think it’s important for churches to be open during the pandemic because a person’s life of faith is essential to who they are as human beings. So, if food for the body is essential, food for the soul is essential,” said Father Anthony Neusch, rector at St. Mary’s Cathedral.
Age 71, of Owosso, passed away Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020, at Memorial Healthcare.
Funeral services will take place at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, at Nelson-House Funeral Home with the Rev. Marcia Whittemore officiating. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.
The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
