Aileen Rowton
GREENVILLE — "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" 2 Timothy 4:7
Aileen Rowton was welcomed into the safe arms of Jesus on Oct. 4, 2010.
She was born June 21, 1919, to John Wheeler and Mary Delitha (Mann) Shrum. Aileen grew up in Honey Grove with her five brothers. She married the love of her life, Loyd Rowton, on May 18, 1946.
Aileen and Loyd moved to Greenville in the 1950s and were longtime members of First Baptist Church where she dearly loved taking care of the children in the nursery.
She was preceded in death by her husband in 1992; parents; brothers Johnnie, William Cullum, Joe Mann, Fred Woodrow and Ancle Lafayette; and sister Mary Gladys who died at six months old.
Aileen is survived by her nieces, Emma (Shrum) Butler Duke, Sheryl (Shrum) Tanner, Anita Shrum; nephew Wayne Shrum and special friends Denny and Bea Dunkel.
Aileen's laughter, warmth, sense of humor, love of her family, her friends and her Lord made her a joy to all who knew and loved her. She was deeply loved and will be deeply missed.
"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love becomes a part of us". Helen Keller
Aileen was buried Oct. 5 next to her husband in Oakwood Cemetery in Honey Grove.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to First Baptist Church of Greenville or to a charity of choice.
A memorial service will be at 1 p.m. Monday at Peters Funeral Home with Pastor Royce Litchfield officiating.
