Barbara was recognized early for her musical gifts, especially her voice, a lyric soprano of exceptional clarity and operatic range.

Memorial Service: 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27, at Silver Spring Baptist Church, 4001 Marietta Ave, Silver Spring, PA. Family visitation will take place at the church one hour prior to service.

Barbara Ann Dupree Warrick, 84, of West Hempfield Township, departed this earthly life on September 21, 2020. Born in Greensboro, N.C., to the late Jasper and Wenona Byrd Dupree, she served as a pastor’s wife, pianist and choir leader in the Silver Spring community for a number of years, capping a life of service in churches in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Raised and educated in Angier, N.C., Barbara was recognized early for her musical gifts, especially her voice, a lyric soprano of exceptional clarity and operatic range. Urged by teachers to pursue professional training, she instead answered to a different calling. After attending Campbell College, she met and married Eugene S. Warrick, who would soon embark on a career as a Baptist minister. The couple shepherded a number of churches across North Carolina, with Eugene serving as pastor while Barbara directed music, led the choir, played piano and frequently performed as a soloist. They were called to the Silver Spring Baptist Church in 1973 and ministered there for five years, departing the area after helping break ground for the new sanctuary the congregation now occupies on Marietta Pike in West Hempfield Township. The couple returned to Lancaster County after Eugene’s retirement.

Barbara was preceded in death by Eugene, her devoted husband of 59 years who passed away in 2015. She is survived by her brother, Billy Dupree, and his wife, Grace, of Angier, N.C.; her daughter, Gena Warrick Fisher, wife of Ed Fisher, of West Hempfield Township; and her son, Joby Warrick, husband of Maryanne Jordan Warrick, of Centreville. Va. She was a loving grandmother to Brant Fisher, of Moon Township, Pa.; Erin Fisher Josephian of Marietta, Pa., Victoria Warrick, of Mamaroneck, NY; and Andrew Warrick, of Gainesville, Va.; and a doting great-grandmother to Luella Fisher and Ryker Josephian.

A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27, at Silver Spring Baptist Church, 4001 Marietta Ave, Silver Spring, Pa. Family visitation will take place at the church an hour before the service. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Silver Spring Baptist Church would be gratefully accepted. Arrangements by the Clyde W. Kraft Funeral Home, Inc. Columbia/Landisville.

He was active all his life, and enjoyed basketball, football, and golf. He never missed an Alabama football game (Roll Tide!). 

Celebration of Wayne’s Life: 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 18th 2020 at the Clyde W. Kraft Funeral Home, 519 Walnut St, Columbia, PA 17512

Thomas Wayne Helton was born in Brewton, Alabama to Willie Von & Grover Cleveland Helton Jr. and passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, September 10, 2020 at his home. He will be deeply missed by his large family and many friends. Heaven gained a selfless and loving man.

Wayne grew up in Marietta and lived most of his life in Columbia. He was a skilled and sought after electrician for decades. He was also a devout Christian and spent his life finding strength in his faith and could be heard randomly singing his favorite Christian music.  When he was lost, he knew who to turn to.

He was “Uncle Wayne” to dozens of nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. He treasured taking his kids, grandsons, and others on adventures to the drive in, the zoo, carnivals, beaches, Hershey Park or just down to the park and basketball court. Wayne loved children, as they reminded him of the simple joys of life and because he was a big kid himself who searched for fun.

He was active all his life, and enjoyed basketball, football, and golf. He never missed an Alabama football game (Roll Tide!).  He loved riding his bike on the river trail and taking his dog Chewy on long walks. Wayne was the guy you know you’d see walking Columbia on the days he could, greeting you with his charming, genuine smile.

Wayne was terrible at receiving gifts but had the biggest heart and would, as the saying goes, literally give you the shirt off his back. He was a loner later in life, but always welcomed a good friend. He spent his time taking care of his mother and their home on 3rd street. Like most of us, Wayne had inner struggles he faced with bravery and pride. He was his own worst critic. He was also passionate, hilarious, loved learning, and he will live on in those he loved and who loved him.

Wayne was looking forward to spending time watching his grandsons grow.  He was adored by his daughters and grandsons.

Wayne was preceded in death by his mother Willie Von Helton, father Grover Cleveland Helton Jr., his sister Sharon (Bonnie) Nace, nephew Joe Helton, and great nephews Tyler Helton and Dallas Oberdorff.

Wayne is survived by his daughters Chrystal Helton of Klamath, CA and Angela Fischer of Marietta; his three grandsons CJ, Eddie, and Pete Norris of Klamath, CA; and his twelve brothers and sisters: Grover (Angie) Helton III, Richard (Betty) Helton, James (Biddie) Helton, Johnny (Donna) Helton, JoAn (Curtis) Siegrist, Kathy Wolpert, Michael (Diana) Helton, Larry (Judy) Helton, Lynn (Randy) Shank, Gary Helton, Aubrey Helton, and Lucy (Eddie) Hess. He is also survived by dozens of nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and all of his friends and old loves.

The Celebration of Wayne’s Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 18th 2020 at the Clyde W. Kraft Funeral Home, 519 Walnut St, Columbia, PA 17512. The family will receive friends for visitation beginning at 10:00 a.m. until service time. If attending, please wear a mask and practice social distancing. In honor of Wayne, please wear your Alabama gear. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your local Water Street Rescue Mission at wsm.org or mail to 210 Prince Street, Lancaster, PA 17603.

Tom adored his family and treasured spending time with his granddaughter.

Mass of Christian Burial: Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 10:30 am from St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, 2427 Marietta Ave, Lancaster, PA 17601.

Thomas George Sahd, 72, of Lancaster passed away on September 11th, 2020. He was born in Columbia to the late Charles and Elizabeth Elias Sahd.

Tom was a graduate of Lancaster Catholic High School with the Class of 1965 and proudly served in the Air National Guard. He was a graduate of Thompson College and worked for the Lancaster Newspapers for many years as the district sales manager until his retirement. Tom was first and foremost a loyal family man. His hobbies included maintaining a pristine yard (ask the neighbors) and specializing in his “Grandpa’s famous meatball” recipe. Tom had an outgoing personality and a gift for making friends easily. He was compassionate and radiated positivity to the world around him. Tom had the ability to make everyone feel comfortable. If you were a guest in his home, you were welcomed with warmth and hospitality. You would often see Tom running errands around town in his “vintage” automobile, picking up mulch for his yard or meeting his fellow retirees for breakfast, coffee, or pie most every day. His happiness was omnipresent – from the way he whistled while doing just about anything to hearing him speak of the professional and personal achievements of his children.  It’s a tremendous loss for his wife, children, and extended family. Tom adored his family and treasured spending time with his granddaughter.

Tom leaves behind his wife of almost 49 years Marianne McEvoy Sahd of Lancaster; two sons, Nicholaus, husband of Lyndell Sahd of Lancaster, Patrick Sahd of Charlotte, NC; granddaughter, Claire Sahd of Lancaster; brother, Michael, husband of Elonda Sahd of Columbia; brother-in-law, Michael Kane of Washington Boro.
