Rev. Fetter Lynn Wilder, age 66, of Cawood, Kentucky, made his transition from the toils of earth to his eternal reward on Friday, May 21, 2021, at the Lancaster General Hospital in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  His transition was perhaps made easier as he was surrounded by his loving family while singing one “What a Lovely Name, the Name of Jesus”.  Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal.  He preached the word of God and was a faithful witness to share the glorious gospel with others in his daily interactions with others.
