Eulene Stidham Lee -
Southport
Eulene
Stidham Lee "Me-Maw", a faithful servant of The Most
High God, passed away on Friday, April 13, 2012 at the
home.
Sister Eulene, as
she was known by all, was born in Kentucky on January
13, 1931. She was the daughter of the late Malcolm and
Julia Stidham. As a young woman, Sis Eulene lived in
Wilmington and was a supervisor at Century Mills on
Greenfield Street. From 1949 to 1963 she was married to
the late Allen Cary Lee. During these early years of her
life she began attending the Assemblies of the Lord
Jesus Christ on South Carolina Ave. in Wilmington. It
was at this small church that her life would change
after receiving the Holy Ghost.
In 1963 Sis Eulene moved to Southport and began a work
for the Lord in a small church on W. West St. Her life’s
desire was to do what the Lord wanted her to do. In 1965
she met two lady evangelists, Sis Betty McKendrie and
Sis Daphina McGill. The three of them began a life-long
work in spreading the gospel. Together the ladies united
to keep the gospel fires burning when they began Midway
Apostolic Church on Highway 211 in Bolivia. Upon the
death of Sis McGill in 1990, Sis Eulene became the
assistant pastor. Following the death of Sis McKendrie
in 2005, Sis Eulene became the pastor until her health
declined in 2010.
Sis Eulene was the owner of Day Care for Tiny Tots in
Southport for 25 years, where she was known and loved by
many, many children and parents. It was here that she
became affectionately known as Me-Maw.
In the 81 years that the Lord gave Sis Eulene she was
blessed to have many great accomplishments. Her greatest
accomplishment was her work for the Lord. She served Him
with all her might and from the depth of her heart. She
not only taught the Apostolic Doctrine as recorded in
the Book of Acts, but lived it fully. Truly the Lord
will be able to say “Well done thy good and faithful
servant”.
Sis Eulene will be deeply missed. She was a very
compassionate lady; she had a terrific sense of humor
and loved to laugh.
She was preceded in death by two brothers, Kermit
Stidham and Jake Stidham and a sister Faye Stidham
Swain.
Surviving are her daughter, Donna Lee Atkinson and
husband Willard of Boiling Spring Lakes; a grandson
Daniel Atkinson and wife Stephanie of Oak Island; a
granddaughter Kristie Watts and husband David of
Southport; and a brother Carl Stidham and wife Perlina
of Leland. The Lord blessed Sis Eulene with someone that
stood by her till the end and was a most beloved friend,
Pam Bumgardner.
The family will receive friends from 6:30 to 8:30 pm on
Sunday, April 15, 2012 at Peacock – Newnam & White
Funeral Service in Southport. The funeral service will
be held at 2:00 pm on Monday, April 16, 2012 in the
Lighthouse Pentecostal Church, formerly known as Midway
Apostolic Church, on Highway 211 in Bolivia. Reverend
Charles Drew, Reverend Bradley Walker, and Revered Paul
Brantley will officiate the service and burial will
follow in the Northwood Cemetery in Southport.
