10/01/12 - NNHS Newsletter - Jean Pugh Jean Elizabeth Pugh (d. 29 Oct 2012) Newport News High School Class of February 1946

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,  

   There is more sad news this Monday.     Jean Pugh passed away in Hayes on Saturday, September 29, 2012 at the age of 84. She was probably a member of the Class of 1946.

   I was privileged to know Dr. Pugh back in the early sixties, as we were both members of Trinity Methodist Church.  She was a fabulous individual, always cheerful, smiling, and friendly.  Knowing what a brilliant woman she was, I remember being totally in awe of her, but as in the case of    Alda Chapman Gall, Class of 1936 (11 Nov 1918 - 02 May 2012), it never once occurred to me that she might have been a graduate of Newport News High School.

			HAYES - Jean Elizabeth Pugh, 84, died Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012. Jean was born in Newport News, Va., and was the daughter of Leonard Eugene Pugh Jr., and Elizabeth Melton Pugh. She attended Newport News Public Schools and furthered her education by receiving her B.S. degree from James Madison University, MS as well as her PhD degrees from the University of Virginia. She taught biology in the Newport News Public School System, Old Dominion University and Christopher Newport University where she retired as Professor Emeritus in 1988. Jean was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Newport News and taught Sunday school to her age group and "The Diggers." She was a member of the Gloucester Point Rotary Club and the Virginia School Board Association.

	Her parents as well as her brother, L. E. Pugh, III, preceded her in death. Survivors are Mary Burton Gleason of Williamsburg, Va.; nephew, Eugene Harvey Pugh of Norfolk, Va.; niece, Valerie Elizabeth Biletsky of Woodland Hills, Calif.; and many chosen friends whom she loved as family. Jean is also survived by all students of Gloucester County Public Schools because education was her passion. Her life's work after retirement was serving on the Gloucester County School Board from 1988 until her death. Her intelligence, honesty, strength and depth of character were sustaining factors in her life and she will surely be missed. At Jean's request, interment will be private.

Servant of God, Well Done!

Words by Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)

Music by George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 09 Dec 1893)

(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)

Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
 

 Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.

With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!

O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.

Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
