It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Carol Ann Eudy, aged 73, who gently left this world on October 9, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family at her home in Kings Mountain, NC.

A devoted member of Jubilee Christian Center in York, SC, Carol's unwavering faith in Christ shone brightly through her actions and words every day. She embodied the essence of grace and kindness, making a profound impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. As a faithful wife, dedicated mother, and loving homemaker, Carol's love for her family was immeasurable.

An avid angler, his morals were perhaps best exemplified by his unmatched level of patience while fishing. Ronnie taught many lessons out on the water.

DATELINE: KINGS MOUNTAIN, NORTH CAROLINA
Sara Nell Hope

Sara Nell Moss Hope was born on January 28, 1948, in Charlotte, NC, the daughter of George Wingfield and Mae Sue Hord Moss, deceased. She spent her early years in Kings Mountain, making her debut at the Shelby Sub-Debutante Ball in 1966 and graduating from Peace College High School Preparatory. She later pursued her education at Meredith College and NC State University in Raleigh, NC. Sara Nell devoted her life to books, sports, and community. She began a distinguished thirty-eight-year career as a librarian with positions at NC State University, UNC–Chapel Hill, and the Wake County School System, including Broughton High School. Her longest and most cherished tenure was at Athens Drive Community Library, where she served both the high school and the surrounding community. She treasured her colleagues there and, in her final weeks, was uplifted by their love, visits, and shared memories. Sara Nell had a gift for remembering people and connections, weaving together stories from her hometown of Kings Mountain to her decades in Raleigh. A lifelong lover of sports, Sara Nell was a passionate NC State Wolfpack fan, and held season tickets. She traveled widely with her sister George Ann to NCAA basketball tournaments and football games, joyfully cheering on the Pack through Final Fours and Sweet Sixteens. She celebrated the Wolfpack attending hundreds of games with her nephew George Grigg, his wife Ann, and dear friend Kathy Hill. Sara Nell and husband, Tommy Hope, were high school sweethearts whose lives took them on separate journeys before they reunited. Their marriage of thirteen years was filled with joy, companionship, and devotion. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Kings Mountain and found comfort in the services of Hayes Barton Baptist Church in Raleigh. Survived by husband, “Tommy” Thomas Dean Hope Jr.; son, James Lindsay Wright (Priscilla Myers); step-son, “Trip” Thomas Dean Hope III; step-daughter, Meralie Hope Dupuis (Jacques); granddaughter, Madelyn Jaye Dupuis; sister, Susan Lee Moss Grigg (Glenn); nephews David and George Grigg (Ann); niece Sara Grigg Brame (William C. Jr.); grandnephews, grandnieces, and many dear cousins. Sara Nell was welcomed into heaven by sister, George Anne Moss Marston (Tom Gallager, deceased); niece, Laura Grigg Powell (survived by husband Chris); and sister-in-laws Jackie Bennett, Judy Blalock (survived by husband Jerry), Vicky Jonas (survived by husband Craig). Memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2025, 1:00 PM at Brown-Wynne Funeral Home in Cary, NC, 200 SE Maynard Road, Cary, NC 27511. Graveside service will be held the following month on Sunday, November 23, 2025, 1:30 PM at Mountain Rest Cemetery in Kings Mountain, NC, 111 S Dilling Street, Kings Mountain, NC 28086.

Gilbert Dale Patterson

Gilbert Dale Patterson, 85, of Kings Mountain, NC, passed away on September 27, 2025 at Testa Family Hospice House. Born July 17, 1940 in Cleveland County, NC, he was the son of the late Leonard and Kathleen Lovelace Patterson and was also preceded in death by his two brothers, Jeff and Isaac "Ike" Patterson. Gilbert was the perfect example of a hard worker who took immense pride in doing the job right, no matter what it may be. Whether he was applying coats of paint with intense scrutiny, lovingly manicuring a lawn, or contracting with Southern Bell, you could be sure that Gilbert was expending every effort to make sure his work was up to his standards and done to the best of his ability. He was industrious across decades as a painter, subcontractor in telecommunications, operator of Gilbert Patterson Lawn Service, and employee of Cleveland County Schools. Gilbert was heavily involved with his community as a lifelong member of Patterson Grove Baptist Church, a member of the Bethware Progressive Club, and a founding member of the Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department. He could fix just about anything, and even if he couldn't, he'd jerry-rig it. Gilbert will be fondly remembered as a dedicated husband, loving father, doting Papaw, and a good and loyal friend.

DATELINE: KINGS MOUNTAIN, NORTH CAROLINA
Steven Ray Baker

Steven Ray Baker, 77, of Kings Mountain, NC, passed away on September 23, 2025 at Atrium Health Cleveland in Shelby, NC. Born October 13, 1947 in Lincoln County, NC, Steve was the son of the late Charles Ray Baker, Sr. and Betty Jean Bondurant Baker Mercier. He was also preceded in death by his sister Mitzi Jean Baker and niece Anna Mercier Bowman. Steve was a proud graduate of Kings Mountain High School and was inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame for his contributions to historically successful Mountaineer Football teams. He married his sweetheart Joan King on August 18, 1968 and graduated from Pfeiffer College the following year. What followed was an illustrious and diversified career, including time spent as an executive with the New York Life Insurance Company, but he is perhaps best remembered as a longtime and beloved teacher. Students at Kings Mountain High School had the pleasure of taking courses in Social Studies and History from Steve, but his instruction and mentorship was not limited to the classroom. Always civic-minded and looking for ways to help his beloved Kings Mountain, Steve also served as a football coach at KMHS and founded the Kings Mountain chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He was often invited back to Pfeiffer College for alumni activities and other special events and remained an active contributor. He also taught Sunday School for many years. Steve was a friend to everyone, an exemplary tribute to an encouraging spirit, and a great mentor to many. He leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered fondly by his loving family and a grateful community for years to come.

Steve is survived by his wife of 57 years, Joan King Baker, siblings Charles Ray Baker, Jr. (Virginia Gaither Herndon) of Portland, OR and Mimi Mercier Bowman (Jack Jackson) of Kings Mountain, step-siblings Wayne Richard Mercier (Tammy) of Daytona Beach, FL, Susan Mercier Canipe (Richard) of Gastonia, NC, Douglas Raymond Mercier (Wendy) of Mt. Pleasant, TX, and Mark Wallace Mercier (Jodi) of Asheville, NC, nieces and nephews Garth Herndon Baker, Kaki Bowman Shatsoff (Ben), Charlotte Lucy Herndon Baker, and Billy Floyd King, Jr., great-nieces Imogen Ray Baker and Sadie Erika Shatsoff, and numerous other nieces, nephews, cousins, and family members.
