"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants." Psalm 116:15

Pastor Judy Bean died peacefully on Saturday, December 23rd with her family surrounding her after her health declined following a severe stroke she suffered on Monday, December 18th. Pastor Judy had rallied for a few days following her stroke and was given the blessing of time to communicate with her daughter and family members.

We will greatly miss Pastor Judy on HeavenTrain as she faithfully served the children and adults for over 20+ years in Cleveland’s Central neighborhoods. Her last message on the December 9th HeavenTrain Christmas Gift Giveaway was powerful and we pray many souls accepted Jesus as their LORD and Savior.

The visitation is Friday, December 29th from 3-7 p.m. at Jakubs-Waite Funeral Home, 36000 Lakeshore Blvd., Eastlake. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, December 30th at 10:00 a.m. at Willo-Lake Church of the Nazarene, 34950 Lakeshore Blvd., Eastlake.
