Knowledge Is For All Ages
By C.L. Stevenson
Every morning, Mon
day thru Friday, at 7:10
A.M. downtown, a white
headed little woman
strolls up to catch the bus
going towards Forsyth
Technical Institute. The
woman of whom I’m
speaking is Mrs. Anna
Sheff, who accompanies
me each day on the bus as
I head for work.
Mrs. James McCarther

Miss LaDonna Marie

July 8, 1978 at 1:00 p.m.
in a private ceremony in
Edward Webb Presbyter
ian Church in Mt. Airy,
NC with Dr. Joseph Gas
ton of Charlotte, NC offi
ciating.
The bride is the daught
er of Mr. Joseph C. Bailey
(deceased) and Mrs.
Gladys Neal Bailey of Mt.

uate of Texas College in
Tyler, Texas and is music
teacher with Surry County

St. in Mt. Airy, NC. Mr.

The groom is the son of
Sylvester & Crissie

He is a graduate of J.J.
Jones High School of Mt.

with Mickey Body Com
pany of High Point, NC.
He is also a vetem of the
U.S. Navy.
The bride was given in

'ther) of Mt. Airy was Best
Man.

Bom July 31, 1901 in
Augusta, Georgia, Mrs.
Sheff has lived in Win
ston-Salem since 1908.
She is retired from R.J.
Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany after rendering forty
years of service, missing
only three days from work
that she can recall. Hav
ing given forty years of
service to her job, she still
finds time and strength to
help crippled and bed-rid
den neighbors in her com
munity.
Mrs. Sheff is presently
enrolled in Forsyth Tech’s
Adult Education Program,
and at the age of seventy-
six she still feels the
need to continue her edu
cation. Mrs. Sheff receiv
ed her high school diplo
ma. from Paisley High
School in 1973. She at
tended there many years
ago but was unable to
complete her education.
Mrs. Sheff stated to me
in a conversation that over
the years, she’s grown
into the habit of staying
busy. She said that “be
cause I was the oldest girl
in the family, I had to
work and help support the
family,’’ which consisted
of eight members, includ
ing both parents. I asked
her if she enjoyed school?
She smiled and replied
“sure, but I’m slow, but
I’ll continue to come as
long as they let me and my
eye sight holds up.’’

Not only is Mrs. Sheff
active educationally and
nursingly. Religiously,
she’s co-buUder and
founder of Alpha Omega
Metaphysical Church of
Faith, Inc. which she at
tends. Because of Mrs.
Sheff’s energetic and lo-
Mrs, Anna Sheff
ving attitude towards her
self and others, I pray that
she will have many heal
thy and inspiring years of
study. Her strife for know
ledge can only be inspira
tional to the younger ge
neration that sometimes
lacks strength to continue
on. These good qualities
in Mrs. Sheff, I feel, need
and deserve some special
recognition.
