William (Bill), and Joyce Elrod of Gastonia, celebrated their 50th anniversary with friends and family June 28, 2008. A dinner given in honor of the Elrod's was held at the Bessemer City, Tabernacle Baptist Church.
Bill and Joyce were married in Beautiful South Carolina June 29, 1958. The mountains looked like a beautiful patchwork quilt with flowers in every color. With the ocean rushing into the shore the Elrod's thought there was no more romantic spot on earth to have their wedding.
Bill worked for Rex Mills for 46 years before retiring. Joyce retired from Rex Mills with 32 years of service.
The couple laughingly remarked that they find they are so busy after retirement they don't see how they made time for work before.
Bill and Joyce stay active in their church were they have been members for 30 years.
The Elrods enjoy family dinners and time spent with their 9 children, 5 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.
