      HOWLAND – Wilbur “Joe” John Carrell, 82, went home to be with our Lord Aug. 26, 2007, at a Howland health care facility. He was born Sept. 9, 1924, in Oakland, the son of Wilbur and Annie (Ellis) Carrell. Joe served in the U.S. Army during World War II, spending his service time in Europe. He graduated from New Brunswick Bible Institute in 1954. He met his beloved wife of 51 years, Dorothy and they were married Feb. 9, 1956, in Nigeria, Africa, while serving as missionaries with the Sudan Mission. He and Dorothy resided in Maine and are members of Passadumkeag Baptist Church. Joe was a maintenance man in hospitals and worked as a mechanic. He was a selfless man with a servant heart and loved to do for others. He was the cook for family feeds and loved us all dearly.He was predeceased by his parents; two sisters, Eleanor and Muriel; and a brother, Eugene. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy Ada (Schurman) Carrell; a brother, Edward; two sons, John R. and Timothy G.; their wives, Diane and Sally; three granddaughters, four stepgrandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. After World War II, Joe gave his heart and life to our Lord Jesus Christ and made him his own personal Savior. Joe’s favorite book in the Bible was Job, of which he read through often and now claims Job 19: 25 & 26, “For I know my redeemer liveth and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.” A memorial graveside service will be held at a later date for anyone to attend.
