Davy Alford Sholar of Wallace, NC, departed his earthly life on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, while at Novant-New Hanover Regional Medical Center.  Born on February 27, 1948, he is the son of the late Sigford and Ioma Hunter Sholar.  Also preceding him in death are his wife—Peggy Brinkley Sholar; brother—Nathan Sholar; and granddog—Caydee.

Left to cherish his memory are his daughters—Debbie Fussell (Carl) of Wallace, Gwen Rivenbark (Skeeter) of Wallace; son—Brent Sholar (Christina) of Teachey; grandchildren—Amber Murphy and (Steve), Andrew Fussell, Haley Rivenbark Kelley (Briley), Hannah Rivenbark, Hillary Rivenbark; great grandchildren—Brody Watkins, Kate Fussell, Oliver Fussell; siblings—Berena Alston of Wallace, Vaden Sholar (Cleo) of Wallace, Hunter D. Sholar (Linda) of Franklin (TN), and Kim Jones (Floyd, Jr.) of Richlands; and several nieces and nephews.

Mr. Sholar was born in Duplin County and spent most of his life there.  While attending elementary and high school he never missed a day.  Most of his work career was in poultry growing and raising cattle and was admired for his ability to grow wonderful collards. He worked also in textiles at Guilford East.  As a happy man himself, he enjoyed making others laugh, as well, and never complained about anything.  He was dearly loved by his family, and he considered his family his greatest possession on earth.

The family will greet friends at a visitation on Sunday evening at 5:00 till 7:00 p.m. in the chapel of Padgett Funeral & Cremation Services in Wallace.  A graveside service to celebrate his life is set for Monday at 4:00 p.m. in the Nickson-Pierce Cemetery on Highway 50 in Pin Hook.  At other times the family will greet friends at the home of Brent Sholar in Teachey, NC.
