Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I worked with Mrs. Shook at Buncombe Co. Health Dept. for a number of years. She was such a kind and gentle lady, and always had a sweet smile. My condolences to her family.

  2. My sincere condolences to Marie’s family. She was a lovely, kind lady. My parents bought the home from her parents in 1951 & a friendship blossomed. God bless each of you at this time.

  3. Joe and I are so very sorry Jack for the passing of your sweet Marie. She was such a special lady and wonderful neighbor. I will miss her telling Joe that I should go shopping when a car show was coming up!!! I loved that. Just remember we will always be here for you and your family, Jack. Our prayers are with you for comfort and peace.

  4. We visited with Marie and Jack in June of this year. We will always remember each visit which always included pie and coffee even if we insisted that she not fuss over our visits. Her chicken tetrizeni and beef cubed steaks were always a treat and we make them her style at our home. We have lost a true genteel southern woman and she will truly be missed. Love and prayers for our kin folks, the Shook Family.

  5. I will truly treasure so many memories of my Aunt Marie! I’ll always remember her as a powerhouse of sweetness and spunk packed into a tiny little lady! My heart hurts for my Uncle Jack, Brenda, Steve and my Mom and Aunt Karen – I love you all and pray for peace for all of you and everyone who will miss her so much ❤️

  6. I am so sorry to just learn today of the passing of such a sweet lady and former neighbor for many years. She was such a wonderful lady- To know her was to Love her. My heart breaks for Jack and all the family and know that I will be praying for your comfort, peace and strength in the days ahead. I am recovering from an automobile accident but will stop by sometime soon –With Love and Prayers- Betty Reece Byrd
