FUNDERBURKE
Our wonderful mother, Bessie Cox Funderburke, went to be with the Lord April 14, 2022.
Born in rural South Carolina, Bet, as she preferred to be called, lived a joyful life, through many challenges: the Great Depression, WWII, the death of her oldest son, Bruce, and all five of her wonderful brothers and sisters. She did this with faith in the Lord, gratitude, and grace.
She raised three boys with some help from her husband, Kenney (deceased). She lived in many places during her years, including North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, and Brazil, but she always considered South Carolina home. She loved playing cards, being with her family, and laughing.
Mama is survived by Kirby Funderburke (Lisa) of Lewisburg, WV, Kent Funderburke (The Jude) of Marietta, GA, and Louise Funderburke (Bruce – deceased) of Richmond, VA. Her extended family includes many nephews, nieces, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She will be missed.
