Homer Self Obituary
June 20, 1928 - October 5, 2022
Homer Eugene Self, 94, of Conover, passed away Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2022.

Homer was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was a good man who wanted his children to grow up the right way. He taught his children to know right from wrong.
