Obituary for Rev. Andrew Wallace Durham Sr.

REV. ANDREW WALLACE DURHAM SR.

Reverend Andrew Wallace Durham Sr., 92, of Connersville, went home to be with the Lord surrounded by his family on Monday, September 27, 2021, at his home. He was born on March 3, 1929, in Jackson County, Kentucky to Milford Durham and Cynthia Hundley Hennings.

On August 18, 1956, he married his beloved wife Norma Jean Reatherford, together they raised 16 children.

Andrew was a faithful member of New Life Ministries in Connersville.

He retired from WCI.

Andrew’s life consisted of going to church, being an Evangelist and serving the Lord. He would help anyone and everyone he could, always making sure to speak to them about the Lord. He loved singing and playing his tambourine, some even named him the tambourine man. Most importantly he cherished his time spent with his family. As Andrew would say, “I wouldn’t take nothin’ for my journey.”

Along with his loving wife, Norma of 65 years, he will be greatly missed by his children, Brenda (Wayne) Griffee, Peggy (Eddie) Green, Jerri (Stanley) Allen, Andrea (Ronald) Webb, Theresa (Ray) Mullins, Wally (Angel) Durham, Walter (Shelia) Durham, Gladys (George) Murray, David Durham, Mary (Jimmy) Stewart, Sheila (Phil) Satterfild, Bill (Marsha) Durham, Milford Durham, Rebecca (Michael) Parrigin and Deborah Durham; 89 grandchildren, 135 great grandchildren and 21 great great grandchildren; his siblings, Calvin (Phyllis) Durham, David (Mary) Durham, Steve Hennings, John (Sharon) Bevis, Jimmy (Joyce) Bevis and Alice Himes; and many nieces and nephews.

Andrew was preceded in death by his parents, a son, Andrew W. Durham Jr.; and several siblings and other loved ones.
