Anne Uzzell

Matthews - Anne McManus Uzzell , 90 went home to be with the Lord on Monday, May 9, 2016 at Royal Park Long-term Care in Matthews, NC. She was born May 5, 1926, in Hamlet, NC to Herbert Torrence McManus and Sally Covington McManus. She was married to her high school sweetheart, Judson Taylor Uzzell, in Raleigh on June 4, 1944. Three children were born to Jud and Anne: Pamela Sue Uzzell of Raleigh, Judson Taylor Uzzell, Jr. of Holly Springs, and Herbert Stephen Uzzell of Charlotte, all of whom survive. She is also survived by two daughters-in-law: Susan Sinclair Uzzell of Holly Springs and Jane Whyte Uzzell of Charlotte. She had three grandchildren: Judson Taylor Uzzell III deceased, Anna Uzzell Harreveld of Charlotte, and Carrie Uzzell Hickman of Holly Springs; also three great-grandsons, Oliver, Finn, and Jett Hickman.

Anne was preceded in death by her parents, by her husband of 58 years, by two brothers: Herbert Torrence McManus, Jr., and "Dunk" McManus, four sisters: Florence "Flossie" Rabb, Beatrice "Bea" Leverance, Lila Mae "Lou" Norwood, and Nell McManus.

Anne was a graduate of Pembroke College and realized a life time dream of being a teacher, first at Central School in Laurinburg, then at Cary Elementary School, and Smith Elementary School in Burlington. She was a loyal member of First Baptist Church of Elon for over forty years where she had an avid interest in missions, enjoyed visiting seniors in nursing homes and calling every church member on their birthday, serving on various committees, and freely giving of herself and her resources.

Her love for, and faith in, her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, finds her in the presence of God today, the only happy ending to a life well lived. We will miss her so much. Visitation will be at First Baptist Church - 621 E. Haggard Ave., Elon, Thursday, May 12, 2016 @10:00 AM to be followed by a celebration of her life at 11:00 AM conducted by Rev. Mason Smith and Rev. Mark Mofield. Interment will be at Alamance County Memorial Park immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, donations made to the FBC-Elon Music Fund, PO Box 778, Elon, NC 27244 or to Samaritan's Purse to the attention of Franklin Graham to assist with their medical mission work around the world would be greatly appreciated.
