Ivor – Carolyn Wade Drewry, 79, died March 20, 2019.  She was born May 29, 1939, to Herman Wade and Lizzie Slade Wade, and was married February 15, 1958, to E. Oscar Drewry, all three of whom predeceased her.

Mrs. Drewry was a native and lifelong resident of Southampton County, where she resided in the Berlin farming community until declining health required her to move to The Village at Woods Edge, and then to East Pavilion.  She was a member of Millfield Baptist Church.

She spent most of her life as a homemaker, but for many years she was Berlin correspondent for the Tidewater News.  She had the ability to describe mundane events so as to make them seem like glorious events.

She is survived by her daughter, Kay Drewry Cass and son-in-law Mark of Courtland, and numerous Cutright and Drewry cousins, and her neighbors, including Betsy W. Cutright, who is the widow of Amos Cutright and who was Carolyn's next-door neighbor for many years.

A Graveside Service will be held at 11 AM, Saturday, March 23, 2019 in Millfield Baptist Church Cemetery, 31389 Millfield Road, Wakefield, VA  23888, with Pastor Brooks Gale officiating.  The family suggests that in lieu of flowers contributions be made to the American Cancer Society.   www.wrightfuneralhome.org
