Joe,
We have Anitra Pirkle’s donation page ready.
Anitra’s Aunt (Joyce Lewis, Vice Principal at Fruitland Intermediate) has established a separate account at BB&T, attached it to PayPal and given me the email address. I posted a request on one of your threads asking for a web developer out there to step up and build a page. BoniBlue (one of your regulars) has created a free site at http://mysite.verizon.net/res11wu0y/ We are working on getting a url for her. Your readers and everyone else can now make a donation online. Please do what you can (I know I don’t even have to ask) to expose her story and invite the public to help her family.
Thanks Joe, and be sure to thank BoniBlue!
Kindest regards,
Eric Morris
Anitra Yolanda Pirkle, 26, passed away Thursday, Jan. 22, 2009.
She was born Sept. 25, 1983, to the late Walter and Ann Pirkle in Columbus, Ga.
She is a graduate of Wicomico High School and she received her associates degree I in accounting from Wor-Wic Community College. She was employed with Royal Farms at the age of 17 and worked her way up to be the youngest manager with the company.
She then joined the Verzion family in 2008. She enjoyed shopping, dancing and reading books of any sort. Her favorite color was orange. On Sunday, Jan. 18, 2009, she received the right hand of fellowship at New Dimensions Church in Salisbury. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Anitra was a special person and mentor whose sprit touched everyone with whom she came in contact.
She is survived her mother, Ann E. Pirkle of Edgewood, Md.; sisters, Lashawn Pirkle of Salisbury, Annora Pirkle and Kahdya Pirkle of Edgewood; a niece, Nevaeh Watkins; grandparents, George and Elizabeth Jester of Salisbury; four aunts; one uncle and a host of cousins.
A funeral service will be held at noon Saturday at the Family Worship Center, and a viewing will be held from 5-8 p.m. Friday at Bennie Smith Funeral Home in Salisbury. Interment will be private.
Arrangements are being handled by Bennie Smith Funeral Home.
you go emo!
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing this Eric. I have just made a donation. It's probably not important but the PayPal site shows the last name as Pinkle in one place and Pirkle in another. I certainly hope that the community gets together here to help this family.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, everyone. This is a sad story--my donation is on the way.
ReplyDeleteJoe and Eric, thank you. I just made my donation.

Joe, thank you. Angels are surrounding us and keeping us strong. May God bless each and every one of you for your support.
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric and Joe and everyone who set up the site,
ReplyDeleteI just did my PayPal donation. It was quick and easy, so let's step up to the plate, folks!
Funny how the nuttiest anti-Albero blogger out there has jumped on the bandwagon here without having the grace to give credit where credit is due. Maybe one of the wackos who reads his site will actually make a contribution, so I guess that is good. Eric, BoniBlu, and Joe, you've done a very nice thing here. Thank you so much for what you've done.
ReplyDeleteThank you to everyone who made this web page. Lets show our support and help this family in their time of sorrow.
ReplyDeleteEric, Boniblu and Joe...You are the best. Salisbury is all the better because of people like you.
ReplyDeletePaypal has made life a lot easier for many uses, this is by far the best use yet.
Thanks again and God Bless you all.
Outstanding! Do you also have her funeral or service info?
ReplyDeleteHope everyone gives what they can.
Did we ever find out why those three arrested for her murder did it in the first place? What was their motive?

ReplyDeleteYour guess is as good as anyones. Just an example of the lack of humanity in many of society's youth. Time will tell but I suspect this was a random act of violence.
The obituary is copied and pasted from delmarvanow.com .... i did not proof it before i posted....not my typos plus they left out her funeral location. below is info i grabbed from wboc.com . the viewing time is different....not sure why.
ReplyDeleteFrom wboc.com...funeral services have been scheduled for Pirkle. The viewing will be held this Friday, Jan. 30 from 6-8 p.m. at the Bennie Smith Funeral Home on West Isabella Street in Salisbury. Her funeral is planned for Saturday, Feb. 1 at noon at the Family Worship Center Truth Ministries Church of God & Christ, located on 1707 West Road in Salisbury.
Not trying to gobble up all the post space here, but I wanted you to know Joe, you have done a really good thing here my friend....
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Morris,
I want to say Thank You again for all of your work and time spent on Anitra and our family. It is such an extension of kindness to total strangers....you and all of the wonderful people visiting "Salisbury News and Joe" are proof that good does exist in our world. As my tears continue to flow, it is with heartfelt thanks and gratitude that I am sending this email. Her mother and sisters are ecstatic!
God bless you and keep you : )

BoniBlu - You are the one to thank here!!!!!
The Wicomico County BOE is also having a countywide casual day tomorrow to help raise money as well. I encourage all BOE employees to participate and if possible add a few extra dollars to the fund.
ReplyDelete5 til 6 is probably for family then 6 til 8 for everyone else. This is often done in this manner, gives the family a bit of privacy.
ReplyDeleteThis really proves how strangers can come together in another's time of need! Little Brooke and Miss Anitra....people are amazing! God Bless both families and everyone!
ReplyDeleteI went to the bank north of Salisbury Blvd and made my donation 2 days ago.It was not a problem at all. My heart goes out to this family.
ReplyDeleteThank You Joe, Eric, and BoniBlu. Thank You to all of the wonderful people in our community for your help, sympathy, and prayers.
