Edward Orlee Petry, 90, of Westminster, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 29, 2022, at his home, surrounded by his loving family.

Born January 3, 1932, in Carroll County, he was the son of David Oscar, Sr., and Mabel A. (Robertson) Petry. He was the cherished husband of Ann Linda Petry, whom he married August 29, 1987; and the former husband of the late Anita Petry.

Edward was a retired Sgt. Major of the United States Army. He dedicated 31 years of service to our country and was in both the Korean and Vietnam War. He spoke multiple languages, was a radio operator while in Korea, and loved jumping out of planes. He was wounded in the Korean War and received the purple heart among other numerous decorations and merits.

Edward was a people person and loved to make others laugh. After his military career he continued working at various companies including Yingling General Tire, Eagle Oil, budget analyst for the Maryland Military, and security at Random House.

He loved to travel with his wife and especially enjoyed going to the Inlet in Ocean City- sitting on the boardwalk and visiting National Parks across the United States "gawking" at wild animals.

He was a member of the Westminster Fire Company, Westminster Kiwanis Club, American Legion Carroll Post #31, and a parishioner of St. John Catholic Church.

Surviving in addition to his wife are children Carole Ann Spring and husband Robert of Westminster, Michael Carr of Westminster, Daniel Carr and wife Terri of Spring Grove, PA, and David Millberry of Westminster; grandchildren Christopher, Jennifer, Lauren, Trevor, Noah, Braiden, Karen, and Diane; 7 great-grandchildren; sister Doris Zeitz; half-sisters Patricia Petry Yingling, and Judy Petry Zepp; half-brothers Thomas Petry, Richard Petry, and Billy Petry; and numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents and former wife he was predeceased daughter Kathleen Mathias; and brothers Sterling, Junior, Donald, Bobby, and half-brother Jeff.

Send Me - Jenn Johnson feat. Chris Quilala

“Send Me” was the ‘Song of the Day’ in the contemporary service at Grace Lutheran Church on Sunday, February 6, 2022. It is certainly one of my favorites. Especially since I always associate it with one of my favorite Bible passages – and a favorite of many first responders: Isaiah 6 verses 1-8, especially verse 8: Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

"Send Me" Jenn Johnson feat. Chris Quilala. Premiered Sep 28, 2021. "Send Me" was written by Brandon Lake, Jenn Johnson, and Kari Jobe Carnes.

VERSE 1

If it’s bandaging the broken

Or washing filthy feet

Here I am Lord, send me

If it’s loving one another

Even when we don’t agree

Here I am Lord, send me

VERSE 2

If I’m poor or if I’m wealthy

I’ll serve You just the same

Here I am Lord, send me

On the mountain or the valley

I will choose to praise

Here I am Lord, send me

CHORUS

If I’m known by how I love

Let my life reflect how much I love You

I love You

And before You even ask

Oh my answer will be yes

‘Cause I love You

Oh I love You

VERSE 3

If the truth cuts like an arrow

I will say it anyway

‘Cause here I am Lord, send me

If it’s means that they’ll reject me

Lord I will still obey

‘Cause here I am Lord, send me

VERSE 4

When I’m standing in Your glory

I’ll be glad I chose to say

Here I am Lord, send me

Well done good and faithful

I live to hear You say

Here I am Lord, send me

TAG

Here I am Lord, send me

Here I am Lord, send me

SPONTANEOUS

Oh how I love You

With everything

With all my dreams, all my hopes

How I love You

You can have it all, You can have it all

You can have it all

What I have I give You God

Be it unto me according to Your word

February is Black History Month

February is Black History Month. The annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history can trace its origins to 1926, when a black scholar named Carter G. Woodson launched a week-long campaign to focus national attention on the contributions of black people on American society. Submitted photo
