Here is the week’s obituary report for people (the folks we’re aware of) who have passed away in Chowan, Perquimans, Tyrrell counties and those parts of Washington County between the Sound bridge and Creswell.
We offer FREE local obituaries as we believe it is a service and privilege to help families document their loss and inform friends and others of pending services.
If folks have other names to add to the weekly obituary report, please send the names and the obit links to the funeral homes to mileslayton1969@gmail.com. We publish the weekly obit report late Saturday/early Sunday.
