PAUL KIRKMAN'S WIFE, EMMA, NOW WITH THE LORD

Posted by Dave Parks / Thursday, 18 February

Pastor Paul Kirkman’s wife, Emma, went to be with the Lord yesterday morning [Wednesday].

She has been in progressively declining health for the past few years from deterioration resulting from Alzheimer’s Disease – and this was also complicated by a blood disorder that prevented her bone marrow from producing blood, resulting in the need for frequent blood transfusions.

She had been in a nursing care facility since October of last year, interspersed also by short stays in the hospital and at home.

Her memorial service is scheduled for Tuesday, 23 February, at the meeting-place for the Grace Baptist Church
2920 Beaver Valley Road
Fairborn OH 45324.

Brother Kirkman and her family will be greeting and receiving friends at 12:00 noon for one hour before the service at 1:00 pm. Pastor Bill Brown will be conducting the memorial service.

Emma’s funeral arrangements are being made by Belton-Stroup Funeral Home
422 E. Dayton-Yellow Springs Road
Fairborn, Ohio 45324
Phone: 937-879-0800.

Brother Kirkman did ask me to tell anyone who wishes to send a memorial to Emma’s service to make a contribution to Baptist Faith Missions in lieu of flowers. Contributions can be made to Baptist Faith Missions
