Mr. Kelly "Bud" Gore ceased from his earthly labors and went to be with his Lord on Labor Day, September 5th.
Bud was born in Brunswick county in the community of Calabash and grew up on the streets of Saint Pauls when his mother moved in with an older brother after the death of Bud's father. Bud had to quit school early in life to work on farms, in the mills and anywhere he could make a few pennies to support his mother.
He served in the CC Corps from 1937 to 1939. In late 1940 a close friend introduced Bud to Vernell Turlington from the Cumberland Mills Community and on June 7th, 1941 they rode to Dillon SC and became husband and wife. To this union were born 5 children. Brenda Carol (Burr), Timothy Gore and Kathy (Jackson). The couple had two infant sons who died in the later 1940's.
Bud joined the US Navy during World War II and served in the Navel Air Division on the island of Attu in the Aleutian islands of Alaska. This tour of duty proved to be a memorable one for Bud as he could tell stories for the rest of his life about "bums", Guns, frozen bays, ice fishing, and snow drifts higher than a man's head.
He returned from the War and returned to his pre-war job at Burlington Mills in the community of Lakedale and when that plant closed he finished his career at the St. Pauls Plant. Retiring from the mills in the 1980's he was not finished yet and he took the job as the "plant man" for the Food Lion Store in Hope Mills. There he stayed till taking care of Vernell in her later days became his top pirority and mission in life.
Kelly Gore is survived by his son, Tim Gore and his spouse Brenda, his daughter Kathy Jackson and her spouse Bobby.
He was preceded in death by his spouse of over 60 years, Vernell Turlington Gore and their firstborn daughter, Brenda Carol who married Carl E. Burr. He was also pre-deceased by one grandchild, Joy C. Burr who passed in 1969.
He leaves as a living legacy 5 grand-children, 7 great -grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren.
The family will celebrate his life on Saturday, September 10th, at the Hope Mills Church of God Family Life Center located on Cameron Road in Hope Mills, NC. The family will greet friends from 4-6 PM and the Celebration service will start at 6PM. Speaking at the service will be Rev. Vanessa Gore, Rev. Bobby Sykes and Rev. Tim Gore.
Faith was an important part of Bud's life as he was a devoted bible reader, active worker in the Hope Mills Church of God, help start the Cumberland Church of God in the early 1950's and then Rockfish Church of God in 1994. For the past 5 years he had been a member of the Sapona Road Church of God where his son is serving as the pastor.
The family would like to express special thanks to Rev. Robert Staples for his care and giving Mr. Gore his last ride through the town of St. Pauls and for his personal care over the past 18 months. Special thanks also to "Germ" May who stayed with his great grandpa night and day for the past 3 weeks to ensure safety and to Martha who made sure he had a good meal everyday. The family gives great appreciation to the team from the Liberty Hospice – Fayetteville office for working to get him home from the hospital so his last 2 weeks could be in the comfort of his home and surrounded by his family and friends. In the words of Mr. Bud himself... "let me tell you one more thing before I forget" ... See you later Mr. Bud.
