Sylva - Shirley Spencer Haney (though most knew him as "Bud") passed in peace Thursday, March 01, 2018 at the age of 79. Born June 27, 1938 in Haywood County, he married his wife Sarah Jameson in 1960. Buncombe County was home where they raised their two daughters, Chérie and Mariea. After retirement they moved to Jackson County. Bud was fortunate to have made many friends during his working years. He first worked at Finkelstein's Pawn Shop in downtown Asheville. He then had the opportunity to work at American Enka (BASF) and stayed there until his retirement 33 years later. During his time at American Enka, he joined their Fire Department which later grew into the Enka-Candler Fire Department. He first volunteered as a fireman and after his retirement became the Fire Chief. He held this post for 7 years. Bud's passion continued even after his move to Jackson County. He volunteered at the Cullowhee Fire Department and became a certified CPR instructor teaching through Southwestern Community College for many years. Bud was a lifelong outdoorsman and took advantage of the beautiful mountains in which he called home. He loved to fly fish with his dad and you could find him most weekends camping with his family in the Cataloochee Valley.
He was preceded in death by his parents Millard and Selma Haney and brother Billy Haney.
He leaves Sarah, his wife of 57 years.
The family will receive friends from 3:00pm-4:00pm on Monday, March 5th in the Chapel of Moore Funeral Home at Forest Lawn, Candler. A Prayer Service will be held at 4:00pm by Scott Matthews of Higdonville Baptist Church, Franklin. Entombment will follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Candler. (Edited by Howell.)
