Archie’s precious family decided to remember him in a unique way.
Our beloved Archie always had a knack for making a splash when
he entered the room. He was a Christian, Devoted Husband, Father,
College Graduate, Farmer, Teacher, Antique Dealer, Furniture
Refinisher, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, Brother, Bossy,
Opinionated, Amazing Storyteller, Poet and Friend.
You could say Archie had two loves in his life time. His beloved wife
of 78 years Wilma Bacon Bibbey. Archie was always proud to tell
everyone he brought home the bacon. His second love was his garden.
Early years on the farm with his family and living through the
depression deepened his love of planting. His garden in later years
was more like an Easter Egg hunt. He never did things the
conventional way and that's what made him Archie. He was very proud
to share his techniques and food from his garden and was so excited
come planting time.
As Archie approached the end of his life and he took a look back, his
biggest accomplishment was marrying his sweetheart Wilma. They dated
for two years and spent nearly 80 years together. They never said
good bye to one another but see you later. In closing, Archie secret
to a long life was Never get a flu shot and Never get a credit card.
Flu shots make you sick and credit cards will kill you.
He will be sadly missed by his family and friends. The family would like to say a special thank you to
Hillcrest Church of Christ, Amediyisis Home Health in Dalton, Memorial Hospital, Hospice Care Center,
In Good Health, Tunnel Hill Fire Department and Eddie Test Medical
No service of any kind per our Archie's request. He was a firm
believer in finding the humor in the saddest situations. Remember him
and tell his stories and he will live on forever. Each life is truly
unique and our Archie lived "A Wonderful Life".
We love you Archie!
