Arthur D. Kreidel
April 9, 1936 - October 31, 2019
Walking with Jesus today, Reverend Arthur D. Kreidel went to be with his Lord on October 31, 2019 after an extended illness. He was born on April 9, 1936 in Jamaica Plain, MA. Though a resident of Bristol TN, he considered Vale, NC and Corinth Baptist Church his home. He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Druscilla Jackson Kreidel; and his parents, Henry J. and Gladys Kreidel. Arthur was a faithful husband, father, grandfather, woodworker, and minister. He served his Savior Jesus Christ at churches located in Maryland and Massachusetts before retiring from Longview Baptist Church in Hickory, NC. Though retired from active ministry, he still took every chance to share the Gospel with anyone who would listen. Arthur also served the country he loved as a U.S. Marine, obtaining the rank of Sergeant. He is survived by his daughter, Dianna Robertson and husband Joel of Bristol, TN; four wonderful grandchildren, Joshua and wife Samantha of Raleigh, NC, and Cassandra, Kaitlyn and Grace Robertson of Bristol, TN; and one brother, Henry J. Kreidel, Jr. of Vale, NC. A graveside celebration of life service will be held on Sunday, November 17, 2019 at 2:00 PM at Corinth Baptist Church, 7929 W North Carolina 10, Vale, NC 28168. A visitation will follow the service. The family would like to express their appreciation to his care team with Ballad Hospice and Addus Homecare. Team members from each organization provided compassionate care and became cherished friends. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Corinth Baptist Church, 7929 W North Carolina 10, Vale, NC 28168
