Lula Mae Sink

Lula Mae Sink, age 79 of Ferrum went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, September 24, 2016. Even while fighting a fierce battle with pancreatic cancer and its complications, she never lost faith in her God. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 46 years, Terry W. Sink Sr.; her father, John Danford Moreland; her mother, Tina Mae Moreland; three brothers; infant, John D. Moreland Jr., G. L. Moreland and Dwight Moreland. Surviving are her four children, Debbie Sink, Costa and her better half, Chuck Gibson, Linda Leigh Sink, Terry W. Sink, Jr., James (Jimmy) Sink and wife Amy; grandchildren, Olivia Sink, Brad Carter, Terry W. Sink III, Christopher Sink, Mikayla Brock, Allyson Foley and Dustin Carter; six great-grandchildren; five sisters, Cheryl Moreland, Joanne Moreland, Virginia Moreland (Calvin), Jennette Caldwell (Gene), Beulah Ingram (Lloyd); brother-in-law, Arthur Odell Sink (Marie); and special ex son-in-law, Todd Carter. Lula Mae had a passion and love of gardening. She loved to sit down with the seed catalogs that came out in January and February and plan her garden for that year. She enjoyed canning the things she harvested from her garden. It gave her a sense of accomplishment, as she worked hard to provide for her family. Lula Mae and her husband Terry Sr. were the patriarchs of Sink Farms established in 1964. They operated it as a beef cattle operation. She has attended Community Holiness Church and even when she was so weak she could barely walk, she still went to church to worship her Lord! She was a loving mother and will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Cancer Society. Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Saturday at Flora Funeral Chapel with Rev. Eugene Robertson officiating. Interment will follow in Sink-Moreland Family Cemetery. Her family will receive friends 6-8 p.m. Friday at Flora Funeral Service and Cremation Center, Rocky Mount.
