Bertie Dicks Pursley, age 96 of Lake City, Florida died Tuesday, June 2, 2020 at her residence surrounded by her family and with the assistance of Haven Hospice.

She was born February 16, 1924 to the late Ruth and Robert Preston Dicks, Sr. She graduated from Columbia County Schools in 1941, the year WWII was declared. She began her career with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and County Extension Office in Lake City. She moved to Washington, D.C. in 1943 to work in the Identification Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A highlight of her time was meeting J. Edgar Hoover during his tenure as the Director. While in Washington, D.C., she met (on a blind date) and married the love of her life, Roger Curtis Pursley, within 6 weeks. They were married for 64 ½ years, until his passing in 2009, a testament to the commitment of their vows and devotion to each other. After returning to Lake City in 1946, they welcomed the arrival of their son, Roger Preston, and she began to work for the Department of Public Welfare and the Department of Public Health. She retired in 1979 from the County Extension Office after serving 27 years.

She was a committed follower of Jesus Christ. She was the oldest continuous member of Hopeful Baptist Church of which she was a devoted life-long member. She believed in serving others in her church and did so as a Sunday School and Training Union teacher for years. Her favorite times were sitting on the back row greeting those that came in and attending her Dorcas Sunday School Class; where she made her sense of humor known.

She loved riding her tri-bike all over the community collecting aluminum cans while meeting many strangers who became her friends. She began her “canning” much to the chagrin of her granddaughters who referred to her as the “bag lady.” She often reminded her family those cans helped pay for the cruise she took with her graduating class. She continued this ministry well into her 80s.

She loved being outdoors and working in her yard. On her 90th birthday, she received a new weed-eater. Finally, at the age of 95 and after wearing out many more weed-eaters, she allowed for others to maintain her yard.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Ruth and Robert Preston Dicks, Sr., her husband, Roger Curtis Pursley, her brother and sister in law, Robert Preston Dicks, Jr. (Frances), her sister and brother-in-law, Shirley Dicks Markham (Hubert), her sister, Alice Dicks Mangle, and special nieces Freda Mangle Crawford and Glenda Dicks Cutford.

She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Roger Preston Pursley (Janice) of Tallahassee, her granddaughters, Vanessa Pursley Keen (Jason) of Vero Beach, and Allison Pursley Carter (Todd) of Tallahassee, and four great grandchildren, Preston, Peyton and Paige Keen, and Lauren Carter. Special nieces and nephews: Sandra Markham Duncan (Jim), Ronnie Mangle (Phyliss), Kay Dicks, Randy Dicks, and Jan Markham Womble (Patrick). Also, a host of great nieces, nephews and friends.

The visitation for Mrs. Pursley will be conducted on Friday, June 5, 2020, at 2:00 PM with the funeral service following at 3:00 PM at Hopeful Baptist Church with Rev. Scott Stanland and Dr. Gary Crawford officiating. Interment will follow at Hopeful Baptist Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Hopeful Baptist Cemetery Fund or Haven Hospice would be appreciated.

Notes:

Died:
We celebrate the life and influence of Freda Marlene Crawford, who was born in Lake City, Florida, October 12, 1949 and joined Jesus Christ and other loved ones November 12, 2009. Freda was an accomplished woman. She was an honors graduate of Columbia County High School, and then the president of the student body at Lake City Community College. She completed her B.S. from the University of West Florida and her M.Ed. and Ph.D. in Science Education from the University of Florida.

For 17 years she taught science at Buchholz High School until she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 1999. After treatment, she completed her Ph.D. and taught as an adjunct professor in Science Education as long as her health allowed.

More important to her than work and education was her family. She modeled the love and support of a faithful wife, mother, and then grandmother of four-- with boundless energy and excitement. Her family was the joy and the focus of her life.

But even more important to her was her faith in Christ. Having made a commitment of her life to Christ at the age of nine, she became a life-long, devoted follower of His. Her faith was the driving force of her life, and in her everyone saw the embodiment of one of her favorite scriptures, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13) She stood alongside her husband of thirty-nine years, Gary L. Crawford, pastor of Westside Baptist Church for the past 28 years. She carried on her own ministry of prayer, teaching, music--as both an instrumentalist and vocalist--and engaged in mission work around the world. She profoundly loved her church family at Westside, and her shared ministry with them was a passion in her life. She was deeply grateful for their love and support as she battled her disease across ten years. This love and gratitude were expressed in her CD "Praise for God's Sustaining Hand" and in the book that she and Dr. Fran Terhune edited for her husband, "In Celebration of Love, Marriage and Sex," based on the Song of Solomon.

The work of the Florida Baptist Convention, especially the establishment of a Florida Baptist Children's Home in the area, was also central in her ministry. From the Convention, she received the honor of "Pastor's Wife of the Year" just a few days before her Homegoing.

She leaves a legacy of faith, love, courage, and commitment to family, ministry, and community. The song she sang on her CD, "Touch Through Me," reflects the passion of her life; she said, "This song expresses my commitment to be available to Him."

Her husband Gary, children (and spouses) John & Tina Crawford, Christa & Bill Latham, and grandchildren Cade, Michael, Johanna, and Lachlan, mother Alice Mangle, and brother Ronnie Mangle wish to express gratitude to the many friends who have brought prayer and encouragement into their lives. We invite all to celebrate her life and faith on Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 10:00 am at Westside Baptist Church. Interment will follow at Hopeful Baptist Church Cemetery in Lake City, FL at 2:00 pm.

The family will receive friends at WILLIAMS-THOMAS WESTAREA FUNERAL HOME, 823 NW 143rd Street, from 4:00 pm-7:00 pm on Friday, November 20, 2009.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you make a donation to Westside Baptist Church (10000 Newberry Road, Gainesville 32606) for a Missions Scholarship that will be established in her honor.
