Wallace Herman Powell was reunited with his departed wife Anna Christine on November 14th, 2024, just short of his 87th birthday. He passed comfortably in his childhood home in Millsboro among family after a long battle with cancer. Wallace was the only son of Adolfus "Doc" and Jessie Powell. He is survived by his two daughters, Myra Mitchell and Rebecca Kandler, two grandchildren, Matthew Friday and April Friday, and four great-grandchildren, Zoey, Kallie, Baley, and Blair.

Born in Frankford and a longtime resident of Millsboro and Lewes, Wallace served honorably in the United States Air Force. After his discharge, he attended Bible college to become a Pastor/Missionary, studying at Philadelphia College of Bible, Elohim Bible College, Moody Bible Institute, and Lancaster Bible College. Wallace spent seven years as a missionary in St. Lucia, West Indies, with his family and started several churches there. Upon returning to Delaware, he started Midway Baptist Church in Lewes and later filled in as pastor for many churches in the area. Wallace was also a long-time employee of the Seashell Shop in Rehoboth.

Anyone who knew Pastor Powell knew how grounded he was in his faith and his beloved devotion to his late wife, Anna Christine Powell. He and Chris never knew a stranger, as they were true servants of their God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at Calvary Baptist Church, 22860 Dupont Blvd., Georgetown, DE 19947. Visitation starts at 10am, with the service at 11am.
