Alfred Lovin

Alfred "Al" Lovin, age 90, went home to be with his Lord on Saturday January 6, 2024.  He was born in McDowell County North Carolina and was the son of the late Fernie and Mae Bell Lovin.  In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his first wife and mother of his children Frances Carpenter Lovin, his second wife and mother of his stepchildren Julia Perry Lovin, as well as his stepsons: Michael Reed and Randy Burleson.  Al was a proud Army veteran and served his country during the Korean War.  He retired from Duke Energy after 42 years of service, and also served as President of East Lincoln Christian Ministries for many years.  He was a supporting member of Fugate Baptist Church in Del Rio Tennessee, and Clear Fork Baptist Church in Albany, Kentucky, and also supported the sick and elderly members of Salem United Methodist Church in Denver, NC.  In his spare time he particularly enjoyed being on the lake with his family.  

Those left to cherish his memory include his wife Betty Lovin; his children: Shelley Heafner (Roy), Kenneth Lovin, and Lynne Starnes (Donnie); his step children: Judyann Reed, Perry Reed, David Reed (Sherri), Larry Burleson (Joann), and Charlene Winecoff (Barry); three grandchildren, ten step grandchildren, as well as several great grandchildren.  A service to celebrate his life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday January 11, 2024 at Beth Haven Baptist Church.  The family will receive friends from 12:00 p.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Thursday also at the Church.  Burial will follow at Salem United Methodist Church Cemetery.
