🕯️ Durham Obituaries – Jan. 27, 2026

This week, Durham and the surrounding communities remember residents from all walks of life - cherished elders, young lives gone too soon, and individuals whose legacies span decades. Funeral services and celebrations of life are planned across the Triangle, from Bell-Yeager in Durham to Macedonia New Life in Raleigh. With winter weather potentially impacting events, some services are still pending or flexible. Each name represents a story of connection, family, and impact on the community.
