Robert Thomas Wrenn

Robert Thomas Wrenn, age 62, of Harkers Island and Rocky Mount, began his eternal walk with Jesus on Sunday, June 09, 2013 while enjoying God's awesome wilderness that is Alaska. Born in Edgecombe County on June 14, 1950, he was the son of the late Ivey Graves Wrenn and Edna Lucille Calhoun Wrenn. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Barbara W. Drummond and brother, Ivey L. "Bud" Wrenn.
Robert retired from UPS in 2003 and enjoyed serving as a member of West Edgecombe Baptist Church and in Woodville Baptist Church in Bettie NC. He loved spending time with his family, often putting on his well-known pig-pickins. Fishing, boating, and quietly serving others filled his retirement days with boundless happiness between the memorable trips he took with his wife and family.
A devoted husband, father, and PePa, he leaves behind his loving wife of 32 years, Jane Bulluck Wrenn; daughter, Catrina Pettigrew; son, Mark Pettigrew and wife Melannie; and cherished granddaughters, Aubrey and Cameron, all of Rocky Mount.
