Deloris Carter passed away. This is the full obituary where you can share condolences and memories. Published in the Bluefield Daily Telegraph on 2024-01-09.
Alice "Sallie" Garrison was 82 when she died in August. Her funeral was early in September. But until Friday, her remains stayed at Hamlar-Curtis Funeral Home, because initially, her church would not allow her burial in its cemetery.
Officials at First Baptist Church of Hollins told the late Alice Garrison’s family that her remains could not be buried in its cemetery – because Garrison wasn’t a member when she died. Family members said Garrison was a faithful member, though infirmities kept her away in recent years. And that she donated to the church as recently as Janaury.
