To better serve our families, we continually look for ways to further enhance the meaning and value of your tribute. To your comfort:

Our 16,500 square foot facility offers all the amenities for greater comfort and a meaningful service. We maintain state-of-the-art sound and video systems and an immaculate automotive fleet. Every detail has been thoughtfully arranged. To your peace of mind:
In 2010, we opened our new crematory; giving the families we serve complete assurance that our own fully trained personnel handle all cremations on-site. We are proud of the fact that Gordon Funeral Service was the first funeral home in Union County to offer an “on-site” crematory. Our Promise. We assure all families we serve, that this commitment to provide the finest facilities, services, equipment, staff and care will continue as long as the Gordon family exists. Because we care about our community, we also continue to maintain strong relationships with local organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, the local churches, and other civic organizations, and proud of the fact that our company offers the longest local history of funeral service, value, concern, and personal attention.

Melissa Colene Hinson

November 14, 1930-September 6, 2025

We are comforted in knowing our Mom Melissa Colene Hinson loved the Lord as her Savior & we will see her again someday.

Our Moma’s favorite thing to do was be with her family & especially her grand babies. Taking care of each and every one by cooking deliciously prepared meals and being welcomed to her big table. Some other favorites were being outside mowing on her John Deer & working her garden collecting vegetables for her family and community. Not to forget riding her Kabota tractor. When dementia took over Mom’s life everything changed. The overwhelming love and support of our family & friends has meant everything. Impossible to name everyone but you know who you are and what you did to comfort mom. We are forever grateful for your love and support.

Moma, Melissa Colene Hinson age 94, died September 6, 2025, at Union County Hospice House. She was born on November 14, 1930, in Monroe, daughter of the late William Sanford Rushing and Velma Donna Williams Rushing, and her late husband, the love of her life Joseph Harold Hinson, she is also preceded in death by son Larry Harold Hinson, great granddaughter Caroline Hinson, great grandson River Price, brother William Kenneth Rushing, and sister Pauline Polk.

A funeral service will be held at 3:00PM on Monday, September 8, 2025, at Hillcrest Baptist Church, 4316 Hillcrest Church Road, Monroe, NC 28110 with burial to follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 2:00PM until 2:45PM in the church sanctuary.

Mrs. Hinson is survived by two daughters, Linda C. Price and husband Dennis of Wingate, and Ann Hinson of the home. A late son Larry Harold, eight grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. Eric Phillips and wife Rhesa Phillips, Greg Phillips, Jeremy Price and wife Katie Price, Shannon Price and wife Samantha, their children Gracie, Macie, Josyah & Colten, Sandy Ann Jones and husband Chris Jones their children Karmyn & Kinston, Andy Lee Williams and daughters Kourtnie & Maci Williams, Jamie Harold Hinson and wife Heather Hinson, their children Jarred, Joshua & Savana, Julie Marie Hinson and children Preston & Trinity. One sister Mavis Mullis Smith. Special neighbor and friends George and Susan Grote.

Probably the greatest trait Mom shared with us was her unconditional love and sweet smile. Mom wrote “Hug each other often”

Special thank you to Union County Hospice House nurses Holly & Marce, along with all the staff. You made mom feel like a Queen.

Memorials can be made to Hillcrest Baptist Church Camp Summit, 4316 Hillcrest Church Road, Monroe, NC 28110 & Atrium Health Hospice of Union County, 700 W. Roosevelt Blvd, Monroe, NC 28110.

Joseph Wayne Harris

Joseph Wayne Harris, 64, of Monroe, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on February 21, 1961, in Pensacola, Florida, Joe lived a full and adventurous life-one defined by deep devotion to his family, service to his country, and a lifelong pursuit of connection, joy, and hard work.

Joe proudly served in the United States Marine Corps, where his time in uniform took him around the world and helped shape the resilient, thoughtful man so many came to admire. He later traveled extensively while working as an international export manager for Yale Security Locks, but his real calling was found in the world of car sales and management-a field where his natural talent, integrity, and quiet charisma truly shined.

For many years, Joe worked at Griffin Motor Company, where he not only found professional success, but also forged close bonds with coworkers he considered his extended family. His dedication, leadership, and quiet sense of humor made him a cornerstone of the dealership and a mentor to many. He was also a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Monroe, where he found both community and joy. Joe cherished attending services, watching his family grow in faith, and taking part in countless activities-from handbell choir to mission trips-where he formed lifelong friendships and lasting memories.

Although Joe appeared quiet, observant, and reserved-with his signature knowing raised brow, clean-cut appearance, sharp suits, and ever-present sunglasses which often made people wonder if he was secretly in the FBI-those who knew him well saw a man who was deeply artistic, musical, and full of life. He loved to sing to his daughters, often humming melodies around the house, and was always up for a dance. Joe had an adventurous spirit and never shied away from a thrill. He loved skydiving, roller coasters, jet skis, boating, and especially riding motorcycles with Denice. He also loved slower paced activities like deep sea fishing and camping. Whether on land, sea, or in the air, he embraced life with courage, curiosity, and excitement. He would eat just about anything (and had in his travels around the world) but had a special love for seafood and Southern food. He found great joy in preparing, cooking and sharing food with the people he loved.

He is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Denice Harris, whom he met at the T & W Flea Market in Pensacola, Florida, a chance meeting that turned into a beautiful life together. Joe was a devoted father to his daughters Stephanie Marzec (David), Ashton Connelly (James), and Whitney Greig (Colin), and he was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Lindsay Harris. He was a proud grandfather to Murray Blair, Scarlett Marzec, Nicole Blair, Sven Marzec, and Angus Greig. He is also survived by his sisters Debbie Gillfilian (Bubba) and Cindy Furr, his sister-in-law Michelle Harris, and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Joe now rejoins his daughter Lindsay, his parents Marilyn and Ray Harris, and his brother Eddy Harris Sr in eternal peace. He will be remembered not only for his steady presence and remarkable stories, but for his deep love of family, his dry wit, and the way he made people feel seen, supported, and safe. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched-both near and far-and he will be dearly missed.

A funeral service will be held at 3:00PM on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at First Baptist Church of Monroe, 109 W. Morrow Ave, Monroe, NC 28112.

The family will receive friends from 6:00PM until 8:00PM on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at Gordon Funeral Service and Crematory, 1904 Lancaster Ave, Monroe, NC 28112.

In lieu of flowers, the family request memorials be made to First Baptist Church of Monroe, 109 W. Morrow Ave, Monroe, NC 28112 and to the Glioblastoma Research Organization at https://www.gbmresearch.org
