Most of you know that Joey is very good at researching people online, like every person he has ever met!!!
He told me something yesterday that made me sad. It also made me wonder if anyone knows more about this.
Last year we found out Kathy Bartlett, who used to attend Bible college classes at Tab, had died. Joey said her husband Doug, who also sometimes was a Tab student, followed her to Heaven last January.
Noel and I did not know the Bartletts well, but they were sweet people. They came here with the military and stayed. They were childless. I think they attended Fairview Baptist Church. When Tomma and Dave Marcincuk were here, they were close friends because Bartletts introduced the Marcincuks.
Anybody know more? I reached out to Tomma when Kathy died, but they had fallen out of touch.
Thank you all. I just wanted some closure on them since they were dear people and were childless, with seemingly no family, at least not nearby. I hate to think of someone dying alone. Sounds like Emmaus Road probably took care of the particulars, as we do for Tab.
Kathy passed August of 2023 with spinal cancer. Doug was sick and in the hospital about a week before she passed. He had dementia and diabetes. Doug was military and was in a nursing home until January of 2024. He was buried by Jewish Family Services, but I was not able to find where.
They were members with Emmaus Road Baptist.
Kevin could tell you more. We last saw them at Emmaus Road Baptist where they were members for years.
I don't know specifics but I do know they both passed away. I remember them.
