Mable (Savage) Huffman, 76
MILTON - Mable (Savage) Huffman of Greenwood went to be with the Lord Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2007, at home, with her loving husband and family by her side, after being diagnosed with a rare neurological illness. She was 76.
She was born Jan. 14, 1931, in Milton, daughter of the late Rev. Lemuel and Alice Savage.
Mable graduated from Allentown Bible College Institute in 1949, which later became the United Wesleyan College.
That same year, she married her high school sweetheart, the Rev. Kenneth Huffman, and spent the next 58 years as a pastor's wife and homemaker.
Mable loved music and was always active in the music ministry of the church. She played the piano, organ, accordion and other instruments. She also enjoyed singing with her husband during their 45 years of ministry.
Her favorite activities included sewing and handcrafts.
Mable was a very loving person, not only to her family but to all those whose lives she touched. Her priorities were God first, family second, church third and everything else fourth or less.
Mable had a gift of loving everyone she knew.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Ruth Morris.
She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 58 years, the Rev. Kenneth E. Huffman of Greenwood, pastor emeritus of the Milford Church of the Nazarene; sons and daughter-in-law, John Huffman and his fiance Tina Dennis, both of Greenwood and Kenneth R. "Buddy" and Donna Huffman of Federalsburg, Md.; sister, Kathryn Johnson of Cambridge, Md.; grandchildren, Jonathan Huffman of Columbus, Ohio, Amy Willard of Millinocket, Maine, Crystal Lynch of Federalsburg, Matthew Huffman of Taylorsville, N.C., and James Huffman of the U.S. Army, stationed in Iraq; and four great-grandchildren.
Services will be noon Tuesday in Milford Church of the Nazarene, where friends may call one hour prior.
Burial will be in the Delaware Veterans Cemetery, Millsboro.
Arrangements by Melvin Funeral Home, Harrington.
