| Reading a series of obituaries from a single
cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational
history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular
time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives
and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade"
or business.
All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries.

It wasn't until he retired from the NYS Department of Corrections in 1990, that Eddie's kids realized what a great sense of humor he had. Ed's children would like to express their gratitude to his relatives and many close friends who have demonstrated what true friendship is, by always supporting our family during many health crisis and "bumps in the road" through the years. Your calls and visits during Dad's final days helped him to make a peaceful journey to see his soul mate, Jan.

Carol was born on July 5, 1944, in Syracuse, N.Y., to the late Carl and Jeanne Meacham. She grew up in Elmira, N.Y., graduating from Elmira Southside High School in 1962. In 1966, Carol received her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Syracuse University, where she met and later married her husband, Steve, on June 15,1968. There wasn't a more devoted spouse or mother. She was a very active President of the Second Ward Elementary School Parent Teachers Association. She volunteered as a band board mom, soccer mom, basketball mom, and band camp nurse. Last year, Carol was honored for 20 years of valuable service in numerous capacities as both a nurse and supervisor at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. She currently had been serving as Outcomes Manager in the Case Management Department. Carol was one hundred percent professional. Her same talents as an outspoken child advocate were used to take care of the many people who came under her nursing care. She always understood that the patient came first and never waivered from that belief. She was a visiting nurse and also served for a time at the Veterans' Hospital in White River Junction, Vermont. She loved to travel, often taking the scenic highway to appreciate so many little vistas of the world around her. Her love of life was totally infectious. At least one complete closet and part of the basement were devoted to her collection of board games and "memorabilia," a major reason why it was always fun to gather at the McBride home. To know Carol and spend time with her was to experience the meaning of family, friends, tradition, and laughter, always laughter. Those of us touched personally by Carol will remember her compassion, generosity and her genuine interest in the people around her. The family will receive visitors at the Hastings Funeral Home, 153 Spruce St., Morgantown, WV 26505 on Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2004 from 6-8 p.m. Funeral services will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church in Elmira, N.Y. on Friday, Aug. 6, 2004, at 11 a.m., followed by burial in Woodlawn Cemetery, Elmira. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The American Lung Association P.O. Box 3980, Charleston, WV 25339 in Carol's memory.
