Lester E. Andrews Sr. 2/3/1915 — 9/16/2008
Posted on September 20th, 2008
Yesterday, we held a funeral service for Les Andrews Sr., one of our Life Deacons and a member of Farmville Baptist Church for eighty years! Les was not only a pillar of our church, he was a pillar in this community. Throughout his long and productive life, Les generously gave of his time and talents to serve as a Chairman or Trustee or Board member of almost every organization and institution in the area, from the Rotary Club to the March of Dimes, from the County School Board to the Fuqua School Board, from Southside Community Hospital to the Farmville Hotel Corporation, from the Wedgewood Country Club to the Farmville YMCA, from Longwood College to Hampden-Sydney College.
At the service, our sanctuary was packed with family, friends and members of the community who paid their last respects to Les and gave praise to God for the life that he led.
The picture above of Les and his wife Donna was taken at our Consecration Sunday luncheon on September of 2006. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Donna and Les’ family. He will be greatly missed.
