Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Patricia Robbins Nelson, a woman of unwavering faith, tireless service, and a heart that welcomed everyone she met with genuine warmth, passed away peacefully on December 16, 2025.

Born on July 25, 1940, in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Patricia was the daughter of the late Walter Fitzgerald Robbins Jr. and Emma Hearn Robbins. She grew up in Hamlet, North Carolina, where she developed the grit and grace that would define her long and impactful life. In 1962, she married the love of her life, Ralph Aldrich Nelson, with whom she shared many wonderful years before his passing in 2002.

Patricia's calling was found in caring for others. After graduating from REX Nursing School, she embarked on a remarkable career as a Registered Nurse that spanned over six decades. For thirty-five of those years, she was the steady right hand of Dr. Isaac Manly at Raleigh Surgical Associates. She later served as the OR Charge Nurse at Rex Hospital, where her leadership and compassion guided countless patients and colleagues through their most vulnerable moments.

Outside of the hospital, Patricia's hands were rarely still. She was a dedicated member of the Wake County Wildlife Club Women's Auxiliary and was a familiar, friendly face volunteering every year at the Dixie Deer Classic. Her deepest devotion, however, was to her Lord and her church families at Temple and then Trinity Baptist. Patricia lived her faith through action. Whether she was welcoming visitors as a greeter at the Recreational Outreach Center (ROC), organizing readers for the preschool, teaching her Sunday School class, or beautifying the sanctuary on the flower committee, she served with joy. She was also instrumental in the Healing Hands of Faith and Comfort Companion programs, providing support to others in their time of need-a testament to her innate empathy.

To know Patricia was to understand the true meaning of a servant's heart. Her love was an active force-found in the hand-written cards she sent, the meals she cooked, and the tireless hours she spent ensuring no one in her family, community, or church felt forgotten. Patricia found happiness in the simple yet beautiful things: a deep dive into a good book or spending time at the beach with friends. She was a master of country cooking and a spirited fan of the NC State Wolfpack.

Above all, she cherished her family. She is survived by her son, Walter Aldrich Nelson, and his wife, Emily Hubbard Nelson. Her greatest pride and joy were her grandsons, Luke Aldrich Nelson and Grady Wells Nelson, who will carry forward her legacy of kindness, strength, and service.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations, in honor of Patricia's lifelong commitment to her faith and community, be made in her name to Trinity Baptist Church or the REX Nursing Excellence Fund.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, December 27, 2025 at Trinity Baptist Church, 4815 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, with a visitation at 11:00 a.m. and service at noon. Following the service, she will be laid to rest during a graveside service at Montlawn Memorial Park, 2911 S. Wilmington Street, Raleigh.

We are deeply saddened to share with you the news of the passing of Brenda Posey Avent, 67, on October 14, 2024, after a hard-fought battle with breast cancer. She was a remarkable woman who spread love everywhere, and she will be forever missed. (April 10, 1957 – October 14, 2024)



Born on April 10, 1957, in Kinston, North Carolina, to the late Tom and Lovelace Posey, Brenda was the little sister of Carol and Martin. She attended the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, where she met her first husband, the late Jerry McGuirt. Together, they had two twin boys, Tim and Steve, followed by a daughter, Karen. While in the middle of wrangling three toddlers, she also became a partner at Watts, Scobie, Wakeford & McGuirt.



After Jerry's death, she reconnected with her friend, Roy Avent. They fell in love and married in 1990. She was blessed to gain two sons, Ryan and Andrew. She left her job as a CPA to stay at home and take care of her new family. She was the heart of our family. She was patient. She was loving. And she ran a tight ship and raised five wonderful kids (plus Roy!).



She was a meticulous planner and an exceptional cook. She made sure every holiday, school activity, and church event was perfect. She loved traveling, a really good margarita, a good book, and too many pasta dishes to name.



Becoming a Mimi to 11 grandkids was the joy of her life. She happily retired to start taking care of them when they were babies and she went to every dance recital, sports game and play she could. They all loved to go to Mimi's house where they knew there was always a special treat waiting for them. She made sure they had many special memories with her in Raleigh and at Ocean Isle Beach.

She was a wonderful wife, sister, mom, and the very best Mimi.



She was a dedicated member of Trinity Baptist Church (4815 Six Forks Rd., Raleigh, NC), where her memorial services will be held on October 26. Visitation will begin at 11 a.m., followed by the service at 12 p.m. The service can also be viewed online at tbcraleigh.com.



Brenda leaves behind her loving husband, Roy Avent; sons Ryan (Lisa), Tim (Stephanie), Steve (Laura), and Andrew (Angela); daughter, Karen Brumsey (John); and her grandchildren Eleanor & Henry Avent, Abigail & Jack Avent, Madelyn, Emily & Sam Avent, Justus & Caya Avent, and Nora & Sophie Brumsey. She is also survived by her sister Carol ter Wee (Gerard), and nephew Alex ter Wee (Jewelle), and many loving and special cousins, nieces, and nephews.



Brenda was preceded in death by her first husband, Jerry McGuirt, her parents, Lovelace and Tom Posey, and her brother, Martin Posey.

Brenda's warmth and generosity touched all aspects of her life and the lives of those around her. She will be forever loved and remembered by all who knew her.



Those wishing to honor Brenda's memory with a charitable contribution are invited to donate to UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. Contributions can be made at unchf.org/brendaavent. Or checks may be made payable to UNC Health Foundation with Brenda’s name in the memo line. Checks may be mailed to the address below:

Herman (H.L.) Warren went to his heavenly home into the arms of Jesus on December 23. His wife was by his side at their home.

After his discharge from service, he was employed with the City of Raleigh Fire Department. He retired as a Captain in 1998. He loved his job and the people he worked with. He never met a stranger and he was the type of person that everyone loved.

He and his family joined Trinity Baptist Church in 1973 and the members there are truly their church “family.” He served as a greeter, usher, ROC volunteer, and served as chairman of the security committee for over 20 years. He loved his volunteer work there and served on almost all the committees at one time or another.

He was predeceased by his parents, his sister, Annette Shannon and her husband, Bob Shannon. He was also predeceased by Chuck McGraw, brother-in-law.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 60 years, Joyce Warren; his daughter Michele Walker (Jeff); his daughter Lisa Byrd (Mike), and grandchildren, Adam and Anna Grace Evans and Miles Walker who were the light of his life. He is also survived by his sister, Jeanette McGraw of Gastonia, NC; and sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Elaine and Butch Garner of Newport, NC, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.
