Harry AYERS Obituary
He attended school and worked at a pharmacy in Alderson, WV, and was a member of the Old Greenbriar Baptist Church, alongside his family. He later joined the U.S. Army. Harry served 21 years, spending time in England, Germany, Italy, Korea, and the U.S. before retiring as First Sergeant. When he was in England, he met and wed the love of his love, Ann.
He was a numismatist and philatelist. He also collected militaria (such as badges, buttons, and postcards) and had a general collection of toy cars, old and new. His passion was buying and selling collectibles.
Harry had many friends in the community. He donated to the Union Gospel Mission, Meals on Wheels, Spokane Humane Society, and St. Jude Children's Hospital.
Harry Ayers was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ann Patricia (Granger) Ayers; parents, Lonnie E. Ayers and Gertrude F. (Woolwine) Ayers; and sister, Frances C. (Ayers) Canterbury. He is survived by his daughter, Patricia Ayers; son, Robert Ayers; grandchildren, Brian Ayers (Candace) and Kendall Ayers (Jody); four great-grandchildren and two grandnephews.
Harry will be forever remembered. Hennessey Funeral Home & Crematory has been entrusted with his care.

I have known Dad for more than 45 years. He demonstrated his love for Ann many times over the years and now that he has passed on, may he be reunited with her in heaven forever. Godspeed Harry and Ann for eternal life and love! You are both an inspiration for Robert and I to live on in the hope to be as happy as you and Ann.
