In Loving Memory
Virgil Lee Meadows Sr (aka Mr. Nice Guy) of Candler passed away December 20th after a brief illness. Heaven has gained a hero, peacemaker and survivor.
In addition, his parents Virgil and Meekie Meadows, Virgil was predeceased by his wife of almost 64 yrs. Margaret Regina Rathbone Meadows, and his son Virgil Lee Meadows, Jr.
Virgil is survived by his daughter Janet Elaine Meadows of the home, his dog Scarlett, cats Sadie and Diamond.
Virgil was member of Hominy Baptist Church in Candler. Proudly served in U.S Marine Corps from 1955-1959. He retired from BASF after 38 yrs of service.
Virgil was a strong man of faith. His faith in God guided him through many tragedies and triumphs in life. Virgil received one of the first heart by passes at age 44 just 10 mos after the tragic loss of his son.
At age 79 he received a relatively new procedure of replacing his aortic valve with an artificial valve through a vein in his leg without that procedure he only had 18 mos to live.
In the last 8 yrs with just 35% of his heart working Virgil cared for his wife who was chronically ill and continued to fight for and support his daughter Janet with her lifetime battle against discrimination.
Virgil was always a peacemaker and hero and the ultimate survivor. And an extraordinary man of faith.
He was the best father and hero a daughter could ask for.
I miss you Daddy with all my heart.
