Carolyn Sue Long
Spider Ridge, WV

Carolyn Sue Long fell asleep in death on Aug.
23, 2011.

She was born in Charleston, W.Va., on July 17,
1950. She battled ovarian cancer for 11 years.

She was adopted by Henry Edison Ford and his
wife, Pauline. She was 61 years old. Contrary
to popular belief Sue had no desire to go to
heaven. Basic Bible Fundamentals helped her to
appreciate the identity of the "other sheep" at
John 10:16. While sleeping in death Sue was
looking forward to life on earth, under the
1, 000 year reign of Christ. At that time she
will be re-united with her loved ones. Under
the rulership of God's Kingdom the scripture is
then fulfilled, "the Righteous themselves will
possess the earth, and they will reside forever
upon it" (Psalms 37:29).

She leaves behind a husband, Jim Long; two
children, Dustin Long and Rachel Long McBride
and a grandson, Zach McBride.

Michael Strong will be the speaker at The
Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses on College
Parkway in Parkersburg on Saturday at 4 p.m.
The family will receive friends at the Kingdom
Hall beginning at 3 p.m.

Kimes Funeral Home & Cremation Services is
assisting the family with the arrangements.
