Louis Brason Twiford went to be with our Lord and Savior on November 1, 2021 from his residence. November 1st is All Saints Day.
On this day the church recognizes all of those that have attained heaven and we are so very thankful to know that is where Louis is now and is no longer suffering. He was born December 10, 1938 to Mother Nancy Hughes Twiford and Father Lycurgus Milton Twiford.
He was preceded in death by both parents and his brother, Lycurgus Milton Twiford Jr.
He leaves behind his very devoted wife of sixty-one years, Margaret Ann Russell Twiford. He had one son, Louis Brason Twiford Jr. and wife Gail, living in Kitty Hawk. He also had a daughter, Tracy Twiford Lawrence and husband Rodney living in Pasquotank County. He also leaves behind seven wonderful grandchildren of whom he was so very proud: Laura Twiford Carlos and husband Mark, Puerto Rico; Kayla Twiford Garcia and husband Eric, Newport News, VA.; Kody Twiford, Air Force, Minot, North Dakota; Jake Twiford, Raleigh, NC; Olivia Lawrence Carlson, husband Kyle, Chesapeake VA; Alden Lawrence, Raleigh, NC; Dustin Lawrence and wife Breanna, Elizabeth City, NC; and two great grandchildren, Danielle Garcia and Riley Carlson.
