Gerald Lee Paul
May 26, 1944 - August 13, 2021
Gerald (Jerry) Paul flew away from this old world Friday August 13, 2021. The dark cloak of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s that covered his mind and body, has been banished and Jerry opened his eyes to the light of eternity. He often said he was not afraid to die, and was looking forward to heaven. Now he has seen all that he preached about for over 40 years. Well done thy Good and Faithful Servant. Jerry pastored several Baptist churches over his 40 year ministry. He retired from Richland Baptist Church in 2014. Since then his health has slowly deteriorated to where he was bedridden. But he never lost his happy spirit. And he kept up his prayer life completely. Every night as he fell asleep his hands were clasped over his chest in prayer. What a prayer warrior. Jerry is survived by his wife of 50 years Priscilla Griffin Paul and a special cousin Karen Evans (Poquoson, VA) along with numerous other cousins, nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his son Scott; his mother Ruth Miller Paul; his father David Paul; his sister Mary Ruth Paul Holsapple.
