TARBORO — RAEFORD — Mrs. Harriet Hodgin McFadyen of Raeford died Tuesday, July 10, 2012 after a long illness. She was 98 years old.

Visitation will be from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. Thursday, July 12, 2012 at Crumpler Funeral Home, 131 Harris Ave, Raeford, N.C. 28376.

A funeral service will be held on 11 a.m. Friday, July 13, 2012 at the Raeford Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Michael McGehee and the Rev. James Braden officiating. Interment will follow in the City of Raeford Cemetery.

Mrs. McFadyen was the daughter of John Angus and Harriet Conoly Hodgin and was born in her family home in the Antioch community of Hoke County on October 6, 1913. She graduated from Hoke County High School and in 1934 graduated from Flora MacDonald College. She then began her teaching career in North Carolina schools during the depression.

On June 21, 1946, she married Duncan B. McFadyen, Jr. in Greensboro, N.C. and they made their home in Raeford where they raised their three sons.

After her marriage she transferred her church membership from the Antioch Presbyterian Church to the Raeford Presbyterian Church where she was a member for more than sixty years. As long as her health permitted, she was an active, loyal member serving the church as a Bible Circle Leader, as a Sunday School Teacher of adults and young people, and in numerous positions in the Women of the Church, later renamed the Presbyterian Women. In recognition of her many years of faithful service, she was awarded a life membership by the Presbyterian Women.

Mrs. McFadyen was also active in civic affairs and was for many years a member of the Arts and Public Affairs Department of the Women’s Club in Raeford.

After her youngest son began school, she returned to teaching. She resumed her career teaching North Carolina history and later English to eighth graders. She was a truly professional teacher wholly dedicated to fulfilling her responsibilities to her students and was much respected for her teaching ability. After teaching for more than thirty years, she began her retirement. In her honor, the school established the “Harriet McFadyen Citizenship Award” which for a number of years after her retirement was presented to an outstanding eighth grader.

Mrs. McFadyen’s love and devotion for her family, her faith to her church, her loyalty to her friends and her many acts of kindness to those in need will always be remembered by those who knew and loved her.

She was predeceased by her parents, her husband, and all her siblings. She is survived by her sons, Duncan B McFadyen III of Raeford; George Hodgin McFadyen and his wife Anne of Pinetops, N.C. and James Laurence McFadyen and his wife, Susan of Thomson, Ga; four grandchildren, James Scott McFadyen and John Robert McFadyen of Tarboro, N.C. Martha McFadyen Scott and husband, Winfield of Lewisville, Georgia, and Mary Kathryn McFadyen Land and husband, Jared of Thomson, Ga; three great grandchildren; her sisters-in-law, Frances McFadyen McCreery and husband, Robert, of Ponte Vedra, Florida and Willa McFadyen Lindsay of Southern Pines, N.C. and Louise B. McFadyen, the widow of her brother-in-law, Lewis McFadyen of Red Springs, N.C.; many nieces and nephews; and a special friend, Ruth Anne Warren whose friendship and loyalty were deeply appreciated by Mrs. McFadyen.

The family expresses its deepest appreciation to Mrs. McFadyen’s caregivers including Mary Smith, Julia “Peggy” Hamilton, Sarah Gray and a number of others employed during the last nine years. The care, love, loyalty and devotion they provided allowed her to remain in her home where she was most comfortable during her illness.

Flowers are welcome or memorials may be made to the Raeford Presbyterian Church: Building Fund, 128 West Edinborough Ave, Raeford, N.C. 28376
