      Dear Sonny,
      My brother Rick and I want to let you know that our mother passed away this day, Oct 25, 2012.
      She was 94 and she died in her home in Smithfield. I have attached a not-so-recent picture and
      the beginnings of an obituary. We have not yet determined when the service will be.

      Could you send this out to your Marshall email list?

      I hope you are doing well,
      Frances Aycock Kiker


      Obituary

      Evelyn Turner Aycock was born August 6, 1918, in Baltimore, MD.
      She passed away at her home in Smithfield on October 25, 2012 at the age of 94. She and her parents (the late Dewey Harris and Macie Marshall Turner moved back to North Carolina when she was very young, living in several towns in the western part of the state. She graduated from high school in Lincolnton, NC and attended High Point College for two years. In 1941, she married Richard Noble Aycock, Jr. While Richard was in service during World War II, she became the first woman to work in the Weather Bureau at the Greensboro-High Point Airport. She worked as a meteorological aide for observing and forecasting weather. She was the only woman on the East Coast to operate a radiosonde machine (which gathered atmospheric conditions while attached to a hydrogen filled balloon) during those years. She also worked at Winston-Salem and Charlotte airports.

      In 1947, she and her husband moved to Smithfield, NC to establish Aycock Propane Gas Company. She assisted in the business until she began to work for The Smithfield Herald in 1960, as a bookkeeper. She retired in 1982 as the office manager.

      After she retired, she and her husband took many trips around the USA and Canada and traveled to South Korea when her daughter and family were living there.

      Mrs. Aycock supported many civic organizations with her time and leadership. These include the Smithfield Woman?s Club, Johnston County Genealogical Society, Contact Telephone Ministry, and United Daughters of the Confederacy. She was a charter member of the Smith-Bryan Daughters of the American Revolution. She has been a member of the Centenary Methodist Church since 1947 and was member of the Sadie Spiers Circle there.

      Evelyn and Richard Aycock were married 65 years until his death on May 20, 2006.
