Obituary Online notes for Van Dewey JAMERSON
MARS HILL: Van Dewey Jamerson, 84, of Mars Hill went to his heavenly home June 12, 2011.
His death was unexpected, but he went out with joy and was led forth with peace. Isa. 55:12.
He was born April 21, 1927 in Yancey County.
He lived most of his life in Madison County. He was the son of the late William C. and Nellie Silvers Jamerson.
He graduated from Bald Creek High School. He received a diploma in Education Ministries from the Southern Baptist Seminary Extension Program in April, 1981. He served as a deacon of Upper Laurel Baptist Church until he moved to south Buncombe. He used his gift of teaching to be a Sunday school teacher at Upper Laurel, Skyland 1st, Little Ivy and Blue Ridge Baptist Church. He cared for our Mother and his wife Edna Ballard Jamerson and faithfully stayed by her side through her illness until her death March 8, 2010. He was a thoughtful father, loving grandfather and great grandfather. "The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him" Prov. 20:7.
He worked as a pattern maker for Kellwood Company until 1991. He was a member of the Bald Creek Masonic Lodge #397 AF and AM where he served for 6o years. He spent his retirement studying God's Word, reading and flea marketing. He was looking forward to his trip to Hammond, Louisiana to attend the marriage of his grandson, Neil Jamerson to Kelly Miller.

Daddy's last words of encouragement were found in his final Bible Study Notes III John 3-4.
For I rejoice greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
I have no greater joy than to hear my children walk in truth. 470, Van Dewey Jamerson
