Edward Orrell Saulsbury's Obituary
Edward Orrell Saulsbury Sr., age 91 of Pinehurst, NC, departed this life on Friday, April 24, 2020 at First Health Hospice, in West End, NC. He was born on January 15, 1929 in Greensboro, MD, son of the late James Keene and Anne (Roe) Saulsbury.
Ed earned a Master's Degree from Penn State University and was a teacher in the Cape Henlopen School District in Lewes, DE. After retiring, he was an agent with Ocean View Real Estate and ran a small business in Milford, DE. Shortly after the death of his beloved wife Barbara, in 1998, he moved to Pinehurst. For twenty years he thoroughly enjoyed his work as a volunteer in the Radiation Oncology Department at Moore Regional Hospital. Ed enjoyed playing golf and loved traveling, having visited forty-nine states. Well into his eighties, he took great pleasure in his cross-country trips. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends. The family very much appreciates the care provided him at Fox Hollow Assisted Living and First Health Hospice Home.
In addition to his parents, Ed was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Barbara (Snyder) Saulsbury of Lewes, DE; and his son, Eddie Saulsbury, Jr. of Lewes, DE. He is survived by his sons: William Saulsbury (Mercedes) of Pinehurst, NC and John Saulsbury (Linda) of Milford, DE; his four grandchildren; and his two great-grandchildren.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the family will announce a celebration of life at a later date. He will be laid to rest at St. George's Chapel in Harbeson, DE.
