Born in Columbus, NC, a son to the late Lester Lee Powell and the late Emily Gurley Powell, Mr. Powell was a retired Supervisor at Dunean Plant after many years of service and was a cherished member of Living Sanctuary Church in Piedmont. He was a wonderful father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Mr. Powell was known by many names by those who loved him: Mo, Daddy, Pop, and Papa. He loved to work with his hands and problem-solve. He never met a stranger and was a great conversationalist. While Mr. Powell had many wonderful characteristics, his most noteworthy was the unconditional love he had for his family.
