Obituary of Paul Ellsworth Drummond

Drummond, Paul Ellsworth, 101 Paul E. Drummond, Summerfield, Florida passed away peacefully at the home of Robert & Caroline Carpenter on April 29, 2011. Born September 15, 1909 in Ashley, Michigan, he served the Lord as a Pastor for over 80 years. His mission in life was to be a blessing to others. Every day he succeeded by touching the lives of each and every person that he came into contact with. Mr. Drummond will be lovingly remembered and so deeply missed by his closest friend and caretaker of 22 years Caroline Carpenter. He also requested that his part time home health aide of the past year Christina Baird of Belleview, Florida be acknowledged for her love and compassion; he cared deeply for her as well. He will be fondly remembered by the congregation of Calvary Community Church in Summerfield, Florida as well as the countless number of people throughout our community whose lives he has touched. Mr. Drummond was predeceased by his wife of 66 years Marjorie Drummond who passed away in October 1997 as well as his brothers Harley, Kenneth, Waldo, Eddie and his sisters Beatrice Oberlander, Marie Stoneman and Wilma Weyneph. He is survived by numerous nieces and nephews. A celebration of his life will be held at Open Door Community Church in Summerfield, Florida on Tuesday, May 3, 2011 at 7 PM. Visitation will be held before at 6:30 PM. In honor of his giving spirit, it has been requested that in lieu of flowers, you take a moment out of your day to reach out and be a blessing to someone else. A simple act of kindness or giving of yourself to another is something that he will be remembered by. As he stated many times "We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without lighting our own." Arrangements under the care of Hiers-Baxley Funeral Services, Belleview.
