David Waters Obituary
In addition to his parents, David is predeceased by his wife of 48 years, Elaine Ogburn Waters.
David was a faithful and caring husband, loving and supportive father, and a fun-loving grandfather. David lived a life full of laughter, love and compassion for his family, friends and fellow man. He is survived by his son, David P. Waters (Kirsten); daughters, Catherine E. Murphy (Scott) and Margaret W. Woodruff (Troy); brothers, George Dana Waters, III. and Samuel C. Waters (Mary); eight grandchildren of which he was forever proud of, Gregory Waters (Devita), Christopher John Waters (Emily), Nicholas Sartoph, David Sartoph (Julia), Rebekah W. Elder (Nate), Megan Waters, Hunter Roberson, and Madeline Roberson; and four great grandchildren.
David served his Lord devoutly as a Chaplain in the U.S. Army for more than 24 years and as a minister for many congregations in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). David's last pulpit call before retiring was at Sion Presbyterian Church of Winnsboro, SC.
