William Lindsay Osteen





GREENSBORO ? The Honorable William Lindsay Osteen, an incredibly kind, handsome, brilliant man, left us and went to be with the Lord on the ninth of August, 2009. He loved the Lord, his family, and all people.

The funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, August 12, at First Baptist Church. The family will receive friends following the church service in the church atrium. Burial will follow at Forest Lawn Cemetery

Judge Osteen is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 50 years, Joanne Snow Osteen. He is also survived by his three sons and their families, Judge William L. Osteen Jr. and his wife, Elizabeth Holt Osteen and their children, Anne Bennett and Bill of Greensboro; John Snow Osteen of Long Beach, California; and Robert Bennett Osteen and his wife, Jennifer Justice Osteen and their son, Chace of Charleston, South Carolina.

Bill and Joanne are grateful for our immediate family's support, love, devotion, and caring hearts. He is also survived by extended family who have been greatly caring: his brother, Major General John Luke Osteen Jr. of Brevard; his niece and her husband, Colonel and Mrs. Robert Sanders and their children, of Greer, S.C.; niece, Ann Voigt and her children, also of Greer, S.C.; and his nephew, Luke Osteen and his son, of Highlands, N.C.

Bill treated all people he met everywhere with great respect, always remembering their names. Bill's love for people was evident. His sense of humor was well known, with many practical jokes and humorous words. At 79 this great man still had his lifelong keen sense of humor and was an admirable and excellent husband, father and granddaddy.

Our three sons, who are Eagle Scouts, agree that their Dad embodied in his life the Boy Scout laws; he was trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.

A native of Guilford County, Bill grew up on a farm on Muirs Chapel Road with his wonderful parents, Ruth Tatum Osteen and John Luke Osteen, and his brother John ("Jack"). Guilford High School and Guilford College provided education, where he was an outstanding athlete and lettered in football, basketball, baseball and golf. Between high school and college he spent two years in the United States Army and received an Honorable Discharge.

In 1956 Bill graduated from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Law with an LLB and began a career in law which continued for over 50 years with the start in North Wilkesboro with the McElwee firm. In 1957 he moved back to Greensboro where he practiced law in the firm of Booth, Osteen, Fish and Adams.

In 1960 he was elected to the North Carolina State Legislature where he served two terms as Minority Leader. While in the State Legislature an outside group selected him as "Most Handsome". In 1969 Bill was appointed United States Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina, where he served until 1973. In 1973 he returned to private practice with J. Patrick "Pat" Adams and together they founded the firm of Osteen & Adams, which grew to include the Honorable N. Carlton Tilley Jr., the Honorable Ralph A. Walker, and Bill's son, the Honorable William L. Osteen Jr.

In private practice, Bill Osteen was generally considered one of the finest criminal and civil trial attorneys in the state. While in private practice he served as a director to the Greensboro Bar Association and as a counselor to the North Carolina State Bar, where he served on the Grievance Committee. He was selected to the American College of Trial Lawyers.



Throughout his career, Bill remained interested in young lawyers and their education. He was significantly involved in both the Wake Forest and the UNC Schools of Law. He was a member of the Chief Justice Joseph Branch Inn of Court at Wake Forest. Bill Osteen's impact on the legal profession, and on attorneys in general, has been outstanding.

Many awards and recognitions have been presented to him: North Carolina Bar Association Award, Guilford College Alumni Association Award, American Inns of Court Foundation Professionalism Award, University of North Carolina School of Law Distinguished Alumni Award, Judge John J. Parker Award in recognition of conspicuous service to the cause of jurisprudence in North Carolina, Judicial Conference of the United States Committee on Codes of Conduct Recognition, Greensboro Bar Association Distinguished Service Award, United States Court Security Officers Certificate of Appreciation and several others.

We are grateful to our many friends and relatives who have shown us love and support, including our ministers and many friends from First Baptist Church; Greensboro and North Carolina lawyers, assistants, and judges; the court security officers and all his friends and fellow employees at the Federal Courthouse; The Fourth Street Barbers; and many judges, lawyers, and friends throughout the country.

Our family is most grateful to the dedicated doctors, nurses and support personnel at Wesley Long Cancer Center, at Wesley Long Hospital, Wake Forest Bowman Gray Hospital, and Charlotte Blumenthal Cancer Center, and the many other doctors who cared, worked, prayed for and supported Bill Osteen throughout his life, but in particular the past few years as he courageously battled cancer.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Bill Osteen's memory will be greatly appreciated by our family if donated to First Baptist Church of Greensboro, 1000 W. Friendly Ave., Greensboro, NC 27401; American Cancer Society, 4-A Oak Branch Drive, Greensboro, NC 27407; or Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro, 2500 Summit Ave., Greensboro, NC 27405.

Judith W. "Judy" Allen

  |   Visit Guest Book

 

SUMMERFIELD - Judith W. "Judy" Allen, 69, of Summerfield N.C. passed away Monday May 16, 2011 after a courageous 5 month battle with cancer.

Judy was born June 1, 1941 to the late Bud and Marie Washburn.

Judy graduated from Page High School, GTCC and Guilford College.

During her career she was a stay at home mom until she joined the Greensboro Police Department in 1973. Judy was the third female office to be hired at the police department.

During her career at the police dept. she served as a patrol office as well as spending three years as a detective in the youth division. Judy retired in 1996.

Judy traveled to many areas of Mexico over the past 10 years and decided to build a house near Lake Chapala planning to move and live the rest of her life there. She loved the people, landscape and environment as well as how good she felt when she was there. Judy planned to move to Mexico permanently in March of this year but due to her health it was not possible.

Judy had a love for dogs and animals of all kinds. Judy ran an animal pet cemetery for many years until her health started to decline due to many illnesses.

Judy's grandchildren were the light of her life and she told all she knew and met how proud she was of her grandchildren and their accomplishments. Judy would beam with love and happiness every time she saw and spoke of them to others.

Judy's parents Bud and Marie Washburn as well as a brother Mickey preceded her in death.

Left to cherish her memory are her daughter Julie and son in law Darrell Brown, grandchildren Breanna and Bradley Brown of Colfax N.C. and Brother Keith Washburn of Wilmington N.C. She also leaves behind her beloved dogs Carmel and Nikki.

Per Judy's wishes she will be cremated and at a later date her ashes will be spread in Mexico. No memorial service will be held.

A Mexican Celebration of her life will be held at her home at 7471 Strawberry Road in Summerfield on Saturday June 4 from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. All of her family and friends are invited to share past memories of her life while enjoying Mexican food and drink which was Judy's favorite,

In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made in Judy's name to RuffLove rescue P.O. Box 2013 Thomasville N.C. 27361

The family wants to thank many people who helped Judy during her illness. Very special thanks go to Debra Arrington who became her caregiver in January when Judy was diagnosed with cancer. Debra was an angel sent to take care of Judy during the past 5 months and her family could not have managed through these trying months without her. We also want to thank our cousin Shelia Arnold for her help during this time as well.

We also thank all of her doctors and nurses that treated Judy during her illness and a special thanks to Anita Cody, Palliative care nurse, who helped the family understand what was happening during her last hours and assured her family she was in no pain.

Van Galloway's Mothers Obit:

GREENSBORO — Virginia (Ginger) Bass Galloway, 73, died Wednesday at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital surrounded by her loving family following a brief illness. A service celebrating her life will be held Tuesday, May 31, 2011, at 3 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church where she was a life member. The family will gather with friends following the service in the Virginia Gilmer Room at the Church.

Ginger was a native of Greensboro and the daughter of the late Virginia Lucille Vanstory and Luther Thomas Bass. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Carolyn Lee Bass.

Her love for the Church and impactful personality for God was evident in her life and in her teaching of Sunday school, being a youth leader, member of Hearts and Minds church circle, a discussion leader in Bible Study Fellowship and church Deacon & Elder. Ginger's expanded love of life was witnessed through her being a Girl Scout leader and gourmet cook. Her eye for beauty brought activities in the Green Thumb Garden Club and the Bonne Terre Garden Club, as well as beautiful calligraphy. It was through her creativity that she began the Tussie Mussie dried flower business which began as a hobby (that she said "went amuck") but sprang into a thriving business. She was truly an inspiration to those with whom she came in contact and will be remembered by her saying "bloom where you are planted".

Ginger exuded a zest for life whose mantra was compassion for others and exceptional love for her family which include her cherished husband of 52 years, J. Alexander (Alex) Galloway; daughters, Van G. Lesnett and husband Dirk of Glenshaw, PA; and Anna Galloway-Currie and husband Ed of Greensboro, NC; grandchildren, Matthew, Andrew, Virginia, Peter Lesnett; and Alexis Currie.

Betty came to know Jesus as her Savior and Friend as a young mother. Her faith was never something apart from her daily living. When she became personally acquainted with Jesus she discovered that there is no secret to living the Christian life. . .You just talk to Him and read His Father's word.

Her church and community activities were many and varied: Mobile Meals, scouts, choir, Sunday school teacher, intercessory prayer, and at home, forever cooking, cleaning, sewing, washing, ironing, doctoring sick kids etc. Always, her relationship to Jesus involved every activity of her life. She was an outstanding ballroom dancer and enjoyed swimming at her home on Smith Mountain Lake.

She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Amos Lashley; sons, Mike Lashley; Steve Lashley; daughter, Holly Lashley; grandson, Jared Lashley (Anna); granddaughter Toni Lashley; step-grandson Dylan Hunter; step-granddaughter Ashley Hunter; great-granddaughter, Gillian Lashley.

Also surviving are many loving family members: sister, Alice Kirkman (Allan); brother, John Slater (Kay) and many nieces and nephews..
