REV. VIRGIL HENDERSON GEAN , departed this life Oct. 4, 2004. He was born Nov. 15, 1911, near Waterloo, Ala., and remained in Lauderdale County for most of his life. The family will receive friends at Morrison Funeral Home, of Central Heights, on Wednesday, Oct. 6, from 5-9 p.m. Funeral services will be at the funeral home Thursday, Oct 7, at 3 p.m. Officiating at the memorial service will be Brother Carl Creasy, Brother Emerald Bailey and Brother Earl Dixon. Burial will be on the grounds of Murphy’s Chapel Church, where Virgil had been a member for many years. Mr. Gean was one of seven children, whose parents taught them hard work and to live a life in keeping with God’s will. He continued with this way of life in bringing up his own family off eight children. After becoming a Christian, Virgil felt that God had called him to preach. He was ordained by the Tennessee River Freewill Baptist association in 1940 and continued preaching for more than 62 years. He remained a member of this organization for the duration of his life, pasturing churches in Alabama and Tennessee. The exemplary Christian life that he lived will be an influence on many lives in years to come. Virgil was preceded in death by his spouse of more than 69 years, Abilene Sego Gean; one daughter, Doris Evelyn Gean; one son, Carrol Marion Gean; and his parents, George Wiley and Florence Mabel Perkins Gean. He was also preceded in death by three brothers, Glen, Homer and Clifford Gean; and by two sisters, Ethel Fowler and Mabel Keele; and a special little great-granddaughter, Kaitlin Tidwell. Left behind to mourn his passing are six children, Mildred Loriene Mason (Bill), Geneva Yvonne Hill (Billy), Sharon Elaine Brown (Ronnie), Kenneth Aaron Gean (Wanda) and Virgil Henderson Gean Jr. (Deborah), of Florence, Ala., and Mary Kathleen Martin (Travis), of Lutts, Tenn.; also, one sister, Ruth Williams, of Martin, Tenn.; sisters-in-law, Frances Williams, Hazel Sego and Clara White (Bart); 15 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; and a number of nieces and nephews. After the passing of his wife in 1997, Virgil lived alone, taking care of his place of residence until he was 91 years old. His family and friends were impressed by his resiliency and his determination to be independent as long as possible. When it became apparent that he could no longer live alone, Mr. Gean moved to Columbia Cottage. Later, he moved to Glenwood Rehabilitation and Convalescent Center, where he lived until his passing. Virgil farmed to make a living for his family, but his most important aim in life was to preach the word of God to as many people as he possibly could. His favorite song was “What Will I Leave Behind,” and the legacy that he wanted to leave behind was that no one will be left behind on the day of judgment when Christ comes to gather up his children. The family would like to thank the employees of Columbia Cottage and Glenwood, and Dr. Ralph Aquadro and Dr. Robert Webb for the excellent care given to our loved one during his illness. Pallbearers will be grandsons, Michael Mason, Ronnie and Randy Hill, David, Richard and Keith Collins and Michael Gean. Morrison Funeral Home, Central Heights, is directing.
