Minnie Padgett Pierce, 70, of Maple Hill, entered the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in the early morning hours of May 13, 2015, while surrounded by her family, after a courageous battle with cancer. Cancer may have taken her earthly body but, in the end, she won the battle and is now Home, free from the pain and worries.
Minnie loved her family dearly (especially her grandchildren) and she loved her community, as was evident by her many years of service as an EMT on the Haws Run Rescue Squad and her many years of serving the special needs children of Onslow County. She was an avid gardener and thoroughly enjoyed canning and freezing her many fruits & vegetables each year, which she insisted on sharing with her family. She was nothing if not honest and, if you did not want her opinion, you had better not ask for it.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Edgar and Martha Padgett, as well as her first husband, Marland Sanders.
She is survived by her husband, Aubrey Pierce, daughter and son-in-law, Lorraine & Chris Davis, son and daughter-in-law, Lenny and Susanne Sanders, grandchildren, Amy Davis, Jacob Sanders & Nicholas Sanders, all of Maple Hill, and additionally, was blessed to have acquired into her life three step-daughters & 6 grandchildren, Karen Ramos (Eliazbeth & Lauren) & Kellie Pierce (Christian), of Carteret County & Lynette Crow (Tyler & Hayden), of Jacksonville. She is also survived by three brothers: Gerald (Pat) Padgett, of Hampstead, Durlin (Dot) Padgett & Carl (Terri) Padgett, both of Maple Hill.
