Mr. Harold Everette Settle passed away on August 29, 2025, at the age of 97. Born in Winston-Salem in 1928, Harold was defined by his love for his family, his pride in his work, his appreciation for the beach, and his quiet, steadfast faith in the Moravian Church. A veteran of the Army Air Force, he enjoyed a 37-year career in mechanical engineering. Upon his retirement in 1989, Harold was tendered a Navy BRAVO ZULU by Ray Witter, Captain of the U.S.Navy for his dedicated service in support of the Navy's Undersea Surveillance Program. Harold is survived by his wife of 32 years, Joeann Settle; his sister Dorothy Speaks; his brother Richard Settle (Linda); his daughters Rosemary Watts (Tim), Marilyn Doolittle and Julie Wolk (Tom); stepson, Jim Martin (Deanna); and his stepdaughter, Teresa Rea (Ben). Harold had nine grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. He was preceded in passing by his father, Barney Settle; his mother, Geneva Settle; and his sister, Norma Kennedy. The family would like to thank the care teams from Harmony at Brookberry Farm and Trellis Supportive Care for their compassionate care during this difficult time.

A graveside service will be held at God's Acre in Winston-Salem on September 2, 2025 at 11 a.m., officiated by The Reverend Chaz Snider of Calvary Moravian Church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be made either to Trellis Supportive Care, 101 Hospice Lane, Winston-Salem, NC 27103, or Calvary Moravian Church, 600 Holly Avenue, Winston-Salem, NC 27101.
