Sheldon Beaster: Obituary
Obituaries November 26, 201806/01/1939 – 11/24/2018
He joined the Army in 1956 at age 17 and soon found himself stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska. In June of 1960, he saw a pretty girl on a ladder at the Alaska State Fair, and he made her, Leslie Landford, his bride just 2 months later. Their children were born in Anchorage, and the family moved to Leslie?s home state of Massachusetts in 1968.
Sheldon then went to work for Pickering Oil and rose to the position of Vice President of Sales after a few, short years. During this time, he restored a 36? cabin cruiser that he captained down the Merrimack River and into the Atlantic. Unfortunately, the Atlantic terrified his family. He, then, built a small sailboat that his children loved to sail with him on area lakes. Sheldon served as president of the PTA at South Hampton Elementary in New Hampshire where they lived. He also helped write and starred in the PTA?s fundraising comedy, ?Nuts and Butts.? Always the funny man, he and his cast mates brought down the house with laughter.
Following another dream, Sheldon and Leslie moved to New Sharon, Maine, in 1975 and purchased a 125 acre working veal farm. They enlarged the operation from 1 to 3 veal barns and were happy and successful farmers for 5 years before warmer climes called to them.
In 1981, the Beaster’s moved to Brandon, Florida, and Sheldon returned to the oil industry working for J.H. Williams Oil for 3 years. However, wanderlust set in, and after a vacation to western North Carolina, they settled in Murphy in 1984; Sheldon established S&L Auto Parts, which their son, Paul, now owns.
Sheldon never met a stranger and loved to entertain all with his stories and jokes. He was a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather; he will be dearly missed. He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother and sister, and his infant son, Paul Wayne. He is survived by his sister, Beverly of Waukesha, WI; his wife, Leslie; his daughter and son-in-law, Susan and Chuck Allen of Franklin; his son and daughter-in-law, Paul and Tracy (Shields) of Murphy, seven grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews and their children.
A memorial service will be held at 2 pm, Saturday, December 1, 2018 at the Townson-Rose Funeral Home Chapel in Murphy. The family will receive friends from1-2 pm at the chapel. Military graveside rites will be conducted by the VFW Post 10222, Joe Miller Elkin American Legion Post #96, D.A.V. Chapter #73, American Legion Post #532 of Hayesville and VFW Post #6812.

Wayne Alvin Sutton: Obituary
Obituaries November 1, 2018
Wayne Alvin Sutton, went home to be with his Lord on Sunday, October 28, 2018. Born on October 26, 1940, the youngest child of Willard Alvin and Mary Evelyn Sutton in Saint Petersburg, Florida, he grew up in Waycross, Georgia, where he graduated from high school in 1958. He attended Georgia Tech, graduating in electrical engineering.
Wayne’s early life was full of interesting and fulfilling roles, including serving as a combat pilot in Southeast Asia, and engineer designing and constructing heavy industrial plants, a home builder and real estate developer. Wayne’s hobby was restoring World War II, Korean, and Vietnam era military aircraft and flying in airshows and performing aerobatic competitions.
Wayne considered his life to begin at the age of 64 ½ when he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior in a tent along the Appalachian Trail, where he had journeyed to fast and seek out his Savior. On June 16, 2005 in the early morning hours, Wayne fell on his knees for the first time in his life in acceptance of his Lord. Wayne said, “I felt as if I had wasted sixty-four years of my life and I promised God that I would serve him the remainder of my life.”
In 2007, he enrolled in Liberty University, where he graduated with a Bachelor degree in Religion. Wayne went on to receive a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies in 2012, and a Doctor of Ministry in Mission, Evangelism and Church Growth in 2014.
Wayne was accepted in the Pastoral Ministry program of the United Methodist Church in mid-November of 2009, and began his first appointment to Grantville First United Methodist Church in January 2010. Wayne served as Minister of Mission and Evangelism at Brooks United Methodist Church, pastor of Luthersville United Methodist Church, Fayetteville Friendship United Methodist Church and Reid’s Chapel United Methodist Church. He was active in the Walk to Emmaus, Chrysalis youth, and Kairos prison ministry.
Wayne’s final request was to be cremated and have his ashes spread over Plumb Orchard Gap on the Appalachian Trail, where he first accepted his Lord.
Wayne is survived by his wife of 44 years, Patricia Cox Werner Sutton; four children, Wayne Andrew Sutton of Atlanta, Georgia, Diana Lynn Monk of Macon, Georgia, Lisa Ann Thomas of Cumming, Georgia, and Brian Michael Sutton of Peachtree City, Georgia; along with eight grandchildren and 1 coming great grandchild.
