Madge Shrum Devine
( December 10, 1923 - February 5, 2018 )
Madge Shrum Devine, age 94, of Iron Station, was welcomed into the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 5, 2018.
Her funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, February 9, 2018, at Alexis Baptist Church with Rev. Keith Lowder and Mr. Jason Devine officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The body will lie in state for thirty minutes prior to the service. Visitation will be from 6:00 until 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 8, 2018, at Warlick Funeral Home.
Mrs. Devine was born December 10, 1923 in Lincoln County, to the late James Henry and Laura Isabelle Finger Shrum. She was the youngest of eleven children. Madge married her only love, Lewis Reid Devine in April 1943, who preceded her in death in 2005.
She was greatly loved by her family and friends. She had a servant’s heart, and was always willing to do for others, never wanting recognition for herself.
She is survived by two sons, Dale Devine, and wife Judy, of Vale, and Ned Devine, and wife Debbie of Iron Station; two daughters, Judy Lowder, and husband Don, of Weddington, NC and Nancy Abernathy, and husband Tim, of Stanley; eight grandchildren, Amy Zemore, and husband Dave, Jason Devine, Keith Lowder, Addie Philemon, and husband Kevin, Kristy Mize, and husband Malcolm, Deedie Springer, and husband Preston, Laura Goodwin, and husband Grant, and Heather Wyatt, and husband Ronn; and fourteen great-grandchildren.
The family wishes to express its gratitude to Hospice of Lincoln County for their love, care and support during the illness of their mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hospice of Lincoln County, 900 Dontia Drive, Lincolnton, NC 28092.
