Here is the week’s obituary report – be sure to check the Obituaries tab day to day.  

Obits listed are: Mark Joseph Sclafani, Earl Clarence Bassett, III, Kristy Lynne Warren, Larry Dean Skinner, Diane Spruill Twiddy, Carolyn McNeal and David Sutton Sr.

Rather than paying for an expensive obituary in a local media outlet — and then getting billed again to purchase a legal ad for the estate in that same newspaper — here is a FREE listing of local obituaries. 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Albemarle Observer has a tab on its front page – Obituaries – so rather than creating a new file week to week, we’re just going to update the existing file. Funeral homes, if you’d like to advertise, please contact us at that email address.
