Hugh Conner Obituary

Raleigh
Hugh "Bud" Conner transitioned from this life into life eternal at age 91.
He was born in Lincolnton, NC where he grew up. He was a very proud veteran of WWII. After four years in the Army, he attended High Point College where he met Ruth Madison. They graduated in June and were married in October of 1953.
Hugh was preceded in death by his parents George W. and Myrtle Ballard Conner, sister Hazelene (Jack) Brown, brothers Paul and Wayne.
Surviving are: his wife of 66 years, Ruth, two daughters; Jane Jewell (Tom) and Meredith Butler (Jeffrey); a granddaughter, Leah Joostema (Brandon) and a grandson, Daniel Deaton; a brother Dr. Joel Conner (Gail); two sisters-in-law Anne and Jane Conner, plus numerous nieces and nephews.
The family is eternally grateful for the loving care given to "Bud" and to each of us by the staff at Sunrise of Cary and the whole Transitions care team, as well as Dr. Martin Van Cleef.
Due to renovations at First United Methodist Church of Cary, a memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 23rd at 2pm at White Plains United Methodist Church, 313 SE Maynard Rd Cary, NC 27511. Visitation will follow the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in Bud's honor may be sent to: First United Methodist Church of Cary, 117 S. Academy St, Cary, NC 27511, or to Transitions Life Care, 250 Hospice Cir, Raleigh, NC 27607.

As for now, I'll continue to keep my Aunt Ruth, my 2 cousins , Jane & Meredith in my heart & in my prayers during this most difficult time & I know how they hurt because of the loss of my own Daddy (Buds brother), that went months ago to wait on his brother.....
