Audrey Faye Greer Bridges

d. November 17, 2016

Audrey Faye Greer was born July 17, 1930 of Christian parents, Emory Willard and Ola Lee Jones Greer of Jacksonville, NC. She was baptized into the Faith in 1944 at Missionary Baptist Church, Jacksonville, NC by Rev. Grady L. Burgess during Revival. After high school she became a student at Charlotte Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. She became a Registered Nurse 3 years later. While a nursing student, along with another girl from Jacksonville, Katrina Maready, they moved their church membership to Enderley Park Baptist Church in Charlotte. Audrey was appointed leader for Christian Services for students in the hospital chapel, for a year. She followed Esther Cowsert; whose parents were on the mission field. Esther became a missionary herself. She was a good example. Bill Bridges, Sr. was at Wake Forest College, NC. They married on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 1951. Then Bill was drafted for the Korean War. After 4 years of active service in the Air Force (one year included a tour of duty in Thule, Greenland), they came back to Wake Forest, NC and Bill finished the last semester in the last class (1956) at Wake Forest College. They moved to Asheboro, NC with Klopman Mills in "Personnel" (H.R.)----THE LORDS' TIMING IS PERFECT." After moving to Asheboro, Audrey worked for Dr. Fritz and Randolph Hospital as a Pediatric Nurse. They were visited by their new neighbors, J.L. and Leoma Benson, and invited to visit Balfour Church "THIS" Sunday. It was a wonderful welcome! Carl King was choir director, Rev. & Mrs. Herbert Miller came by within 2 days; and the rest was history. What a Spirit in this Church. It was "HOME" for the many years. PRAISE THE LORD ALWAYS. Audrey's mother came from Jacksonville, NC in her last years, to be with them, and the church adopted her. They Thanked The Lord, and felt at Home as much as she could be. PRAISE THE LORD ALWAYS. They were blessed in so many ways, especially with two sons, BIll Bridges, Jr. and Chris Bridges. Each married Christians, son Billy and wife Jane of Asheboro, NC; their children Erin and husband Jay Forsythe, Matt and wife Mary Beth, David and wife Amy; and son Chris and wife Lisa of Cheraw, SC; and their children, Clayton, Cuentin, and Jesslyn.
