Ralph Harold Sellars, 86, went home to be with The Lord on December 8, 2012. He will be remembered for his love of Christ and the love he showed his family.

Shortly after his return he married Annie Mary Edwards Sellars, his wife of 65 years. Together they raised two sons. Mr. Sellars retired from Norfolk Southern Railroad. Not one to sit still, he became the business owner of Harold Sellars Painting Contractors.

He is survived by his wife, Annie Mary Edwards Sellars; his son, Kenneth Harold Sellars and his wife Judy Lewis Sellars; his grandson, Jeffrey Kenneth Sellars and his wife Sheila; his granddaughter, Dr. Jill Sellars Morris and her husband Chris; four greatgrandchildren, Kendall, Savannah, Gracen, and Reagan; and a sister, Ruth Sellars Morgan of Montgomery, Alabama.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his son Jerry Horace Sellars, as well as nine siblings. Mr. Sellars was of the Baptist faith and an active member of Covenant Baptist Church where he was a member of the Senior Adult Men's Sunday School class. He was a former trustee of Mt.
