Harry Richard Stevenson

June 3, 1932 — January 13, 2021

Harry Richard Stevenson, 88, of Wilmore, Ky, died January 13, 2021, at Wesley Village in Wilmore, Ky.

Rev. Stevenson was born June 3, 1932, in Woodbury, New Jersey, to Harry and Florence Stevenson. He attended Swedesboro High School, Pierce School of Business, Asbury University, Asbury Theological Seminary, and graduated from Eastern Baptist Seminary with a Master of Divinity.

After seminary, he pastored South Jersey United Methodist Churches in Gloucester City, Pennsville, and Turnersville. Harry held many positions in the Southern New Jersey Conference of the United Methodist Church and also served on the Board of Trustees at Asbury University in Wilmore, Ky.

Rev. Stevenson is survived by his wife of 66 years, Anna D. Stevenson. Their children are Cindy and Mark Bules, Laura and David Hunter, and Richard and Tania Stevenson. Harry and Anna have 11 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.

Rev. Stevenson once said that his greatest honor in ministry was being able to take someone’s hand and place it in the hand of Jesus. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who love Jesus Christ more because of Rev. Stevenson’s faithfulness in ministry.

There will be a service celebrating Rev. Stevenson’s life on January 16th at Betts & West Funeral Home in Nicholasville, Ky. A viewing will be held at 12 pm, a worship service at 1 pm and a graveside service to follow in the Wilmore Cemetery. There will be another service of celebration at St. John’s United Methodist Church in Turnersville, NJ on February 13th at 2 pm.

In lieu of flowers, gifts can be made to Asbury University or The Malachi Network (www.malachinetwork.org).
