Obituary: Matilda Q. Fortenbery Having fought the good fight, Mrs. Fortenbery died May 17, 2011 at Brighton Gardens in Charlotte. She was born in Clay, KY on 16, 1922, the youngest daughter of the late Daron and Verna Mae Quirey. Her two beloved sisters, Mary Q. Johnson of Charlotte and Anna Q. Hortin, Carmi IL survive her. Known as Til in her early years, she graduated valedictorian from Clay High School and earned a BA degree in Economics from Murray State University where she was a cheerleader and member of the marching band. Upon graduation, she married the great love of her life, whom she first met in sixth grade, John Robert Fortenbery on 14, 1943 while he served as a pilot in the United States Air Force during World War II. Always called Tilly by her husband, they lived in Lexington, KY, Clarksville, IN and settled with their children in Charlotte in 1962. Sadly, Mrs. Fortenbery was preceded in death by her husband, John in 1975, and their infant daughter in 1950. Tilly worked as a substitute teacher at Myers Park High School 1962 - 1982, and was a devoted member of Pritchard Memorial Baptist Church for 49 years, teaching school and singing in the choir. She sang with the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte for many years, and traveled throughout the world with Friendship Force. Tilly was known for her delightful sense of humor, keen mind, independent spirit, and myriad passions and interests. She loved sports. She played tennis in her youth, won a whopping 59 medals in the Senior Games in swimming and table tennis, and was an ardent Carolina fan. She loved words. An avid reader, she read the newspaper cover to cover daily, worked the crossword puzzle, and made weekly treks to the library. She could whip anybody in Scrabble. She was a prolific writer of letters to family and friends. But most of all she loved homemaking: cooking, sewing, making quilts, baskets, and rag rugs, and taking care of her collection of African violets. Her lasagna, meringues, Christmas cookies and sweet tea were absolutely the best. Left behind to cherish her memory are her beloved children, John David Fortenbery and wife, Nancy and Megan Lee Fortenbery McCormick and husband, Mac of Charlotte. She is also survived by her three brothers-in-law whom she considered her little brothers: Justice Fortenbery, Murray, KY, Donald Fortenbery, Lewistown, MT, and Tom Fortenbery, Rosedale, IN. Mrs. Fortenbery was Gram to her six grandchildren, all of whom she adored, nurtured, challenged, and encouraged: Andrew Beckham Fortenbery, Sr. (Christie) of Charlotte; Major John Daron Fortenbery (Julie), Owings, MD; Shane Kiersten McCormick Agostinelli (Greg) of Charlotte; Bret Hoffmann McCormick, Wilmington, NC; Sam Robert Fortenbery, Raleigh, NC; Caitlin Quirey McCormick, Boone, NC. She is also survived by her great grandchildren: Connor, Ella, Addison, and Beckham Fortenbery. A service celebrating Mrs. Fortenberys life will be held , May 23, 2011 at Pritchard Memorial Baptist Church at 11:00 a.m. with the Rev. Bobby Morrow officiating. The family will receive guests beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the church. The family expresses their deepest gratitude to the staff of Brighton Gardens and Hospice for their compassionate care of Miss Tilly during her last months. Memorials may be made to Pritchard Memorial Baptist Church or Hospice and Palliative Charlotte Region. For she has at last slipped the surly bonds of earth, and most certainly reached out to touch the face of God. |
