Sadie Alpean Terry - Jonesville, VA
"My Fathers house has many rooms, if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:2-3
Sadie Alpean Hassell Terry of Jonesville, VA left this earth for her heavenly home surrounded by her loving family on December 6, 2019. Alpean was born January 19, 1940 in Tyrrell County, NC to the late Clarence Windsor Hassell and Martha Brent Twiddy Hassell. In 1956 she married Nelson D. "Dick" Terry, who is left to cherish her memory along with their four children Cindy Dowell (Don Stacy) of Appalachia, VA, Nelson D. "Buddy" Terry Jr. (Kim) of Jacksonville, AR, Debbie Terry (Bull Tolson) of Manteo, NC, and Chris Terry (Gina) of Statesville, NC.
Alpean will also be fondly remembered by her grandsons Michael Terry (Ae), Chandler and Cameron Terry, and great granddaughter Grace Terry, her sisters Frances Forbes and Sucelia Murphy (Joe) and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and lifelong friends.
In addition to her parents, Alpean is preceded in death by her siblings Joseph Hassell, Ella Swain, Shirley Jackson, Henry Hassell, Dickie Hassell and Ginny Gibbs.
Alpean was a member of Woodway Church of God. She was active in many community organizations, including the Jonesville Womens Club. She served for many years as a "Pink Lady" volunteer at the local hospital. Alpean enjoyed crafting in all forms from crochet to ceramics, as well as baking and canning. She has a large collection of blue ribbons from her various entries over the years in the Lee County Fair. As the historian, Alpean loved her relatives past, present, and future. She insisted on group photos by family at thanksgiving every year, and we are grateful for her dedication to all of us.
