Hubert Stephenson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On June 20, 2022, our hearts were saddened as our beloved Hubert Stephenson transitioned to a life of eternal peace. Hubert was the second of ten children created by the union of their parents, the late Hugh and Sarah Hill Stephenson. Hubert was born in Pendleton, North Carolina, Northampton County, on January 6, 1933. At an early age, Hubert accepted Jesus Christ as his LORD and SAVIOR at Macedonia A.M.E. Church, Severn, North Carolina. To have known our Hubert was to witness an extremely hard worker, a master of many things, and a devoted and supportive family man to all generations. Hubert attended Willis Hare High School in Pendleton, North Carolina. When he entered the workforce after working in farming, he was employed in several capacities, including assisting with the construction of the Willis Hare School. His employment culminated with retirement after many years as a faithful employee at Georgia Pacific. Hubert Stephenson, known as “Good As Gold” in his special way to his wife Louise and family, will be greatly missed and always referenced with love as a great man who helped to maintain a culture of pride and tradition for the Stephenson and Taylor families. Hubert Stephenson was also preceded in death by eight of his beloved family members; Tragus, Ulysses, Robert and Earl Stephenson (brothers), Evelyn S. Warren and Annie Green (sisters), Beatrice Stephenson and Janie Stephenson (sisters-in-law). He leaves cherished memories to his wife and soulmate of 65 years, Louise Taylor Stephenson; sisters, Margaret (Herman) Jenkins, Rosaline D. (Leroy)Williams; brothers, Joe (Barbara) and Oneil (Nettie) Stephenson; sisters-in-law, Ernell Stephenson, Ella Mae Gatling and Annie Elizabeth (William) Johnson; a host of nieces to include a devoted niece, like a daughter, Phyllis Branch, nephews and a multitude of cousins.
