ACPE Retired Educator Rev. Raymond Otto
April 14, 1933 - January 12, 2024
Rev. Raymond Otto passed peacefully into the arms of Christ on January 12th, 2024. Ray was born in Detroit, MI on April 14th, 1933 to Claudia and Christian Otto. The oldest of five siblings, Ray often reminisced about childhood adventures with Ruth, Robert, Grace and Eunice, who he loved dearly and remained close with throughout their lives. With limited resources during the Great Depression, Ray’s family enjoyed simple pleasures such as fishing from the family boat on the Detroit River, lining up live Christmas trees in the dining room, enjoying their pet parakeet who flew freely in their home, and star gazing from their balcony on balmy nights.
Detroit’s booming auto industry offered fertile ground for Ray’s lifelong love of cars, and he had early aspirations of becoming an automobile designer. With encouragement from his mother however, Ray set his sights on becoming a minister, graduating from Concordia Seminary in 1958. Following initial work as a church pastor, Ray found his true calling in 1965 as a pastoral care director. Ray was a passionate leader of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) programs, which he launched at several hospitals during his career. Ray was active in CPE work at the national level, serving as the Southeast Region Chair for the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education from 2002-2004. Ray was a strong believer that CPE programs provided the self-reflection and skill building needed for pastors to provide effective counseling support.
Ray touched the lives of so many with his warm and caring spirit, including countless patients and treasured friends, colleagues and family members. His children and grandchildren will be forever thankful for the loving support he wrapped them in. He had a gift for truly understanding people without judgment, and readily offered sage advice or a perfectly apt anecdote to guide others through the ebbs and flows of life. He served as a model of empathy, love, and insight for all who knew him. He is survived by his loving wife, Judith Bunker Otto, his children Aurora Otto, Jill Otto, and Nathan Bunker-Otto, as well as grand-children Lynn Otto, Jacob Burnett, Jordan Francis, Blake Bryant and Rebecca Francis.
Dr. Joseph Warlick Whitwell Jr, ThD
December 15, 1939 – January 2024
Dr. Joseph Warlick Whitwell Jr, ThD was born on December 15, 1939 in Memphis, Tennessee. He was the oldest of three boys born to Joseph Warlick Whitwell, Sr. and Lucile Bean Whitwell. At age 3, the family moved back to their hometown, Senatobia Mississippi, after his father took ill. Unfortunately, just 6 years later, when Joe was only 9 years old, his father passed, leaving Lucy to raise her three small boys alone. Growing up in the small town of Senatobia, MS in the 1950’s, Joe made the best of his situation as Senatobia took good care of him. As a young man, he took on whatever job he could. He was bagging groceries at the local grocery, lifeguarding and worked construction.
Many summers, James Coleman, the Senatobia Warriors coach, would have Joe and some of his teammates help build houses. Joe learned to swing a hammer, repair a roof, build a stone wall and other essential skills that he would use for the rest of his life. Joe loved sports and was very athletic in his high school and college years. Joe aggressively defended the Senatobia Warriors on the football and baseball fields. Joe’s dedication was evident because at halftime he would run off the field to Water skiing was another beloved sport. The local Senatobia doctor, Dr. Ethlen, took Joe out on her boat and taught him how to water ski. Water skiing translated into an intense love of snow skiing. These traditions of his youth carried on as Joe, his wife, Marguerite, and his children spent hours on the waters off Lake Lanier and on the slopes of North Carolina and Colorado. After high school, Joe went to Millsaps College in Jackson, MS. He firmly believed in keeping an active mind and body. Academically, he earned his bachelors in Philosophy and was named honorable mention Little All-American for playing football at Millsaps. In 2023 Joe was inducted into the Millsaps Football Hall of Fame. His social life was filled with being Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity President. In his sophomore year, he began to serve as pastor to several Methodist churches near Jackson, MS. In his junior year at Millsaps, he met his future bride, Marguerite and on January 24, 1964, they were married. Joe’s greatest passion, his life’s work, was to help others through the toughest or darkest times of their lives.
To pursue this passion as a career, he sought his post-secondary education at The Candler School of Theology at Emory University and received his doctorate in Pastoral Counseling. He was a minister for the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church (UMC). In 1972, he became the Director of Pastoral Services and Staff Therapist for the Wesley Woods Geriatric Center in Atlanta, GA, which included a clinical pastoral education program that was a part of the Georgia Association for Pastoral Care (GAPC). In that capacity, he provided supervision for students in the doctoral programs in pastoral counseling through Atlanta area seminaries. trade a football uniform for a band uniform. Just as quickly, changing back into his helmet and pads to join the huddle. It’s no wonder why he was voted Mr. Senatobia in High School. Shortly thereafter, he established a satellite counseling center on the Wesley Woods campus to provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. This especially helped families struggling with issues in the care of an aging parent or relative. He loved to dance. Joe and his zest for life will be greatly missed.
In 2009, he shifted his attention to providing mental health support as a Marriage and Family Therapist. As the Executive Director of The Covenant Counseling & Family Resource Center in Snellville, Ga., Joe was able to provide support for families in crisis and train others to do the same. It is impossible to measure the number of lives he touched, the people he helped, and the impact he made in the lives of his clients, his students, his friends, and family. No doubt, he will be remembered for his compassion, dedication, and his generosity of spirit in helping others. Joe was a great father, an average musician, an avid sportsman, and master craftsman. He loved his wife and kids. He enjoyed playing the guitar and ukulele. He loved to water and snow ski. He had a passion for building, repairing, and creating. He enjoyed a good drink along with a great story or joke. Even though he wasn’t very good at it, he loved to dance. Joe and his zest for life will be greatly missed.

wicked sense of humor, deep soul, kindness, generosity and, above all, his acceptance of people as they were. He had a keen intellect, a love of learning and he cherished his solitude. He was a towering man with a gentle shoulder to lean upon, and
those who knew him will miss his willingness to be there for them.

Counselors. He served on the staff of several Episcopal churches in Alabama.

Peggy Davis Gold
November 24, 1959– November 1, 2023
Peggy Davis Gold, 63, of Durham, N.C., died on November 1, 2023, at Duke Regional Hospital. She was born Nov. 24, 1959, and was the daughter of the late Barbara Geer Davis and Dr. Richard T. Davis.
She is survived by her son, Austin and his wife Tara of Durham; her brother, Richard T. Davis Jr. of Danville, Va.; her sister, Nancy Davis and husband Tip Nicholson of Statesville; nephew Richard T. Davis III (Rachelle) of Largo, Fla.; and nieces Brittain Kenney (Will) of Charlotte, Stacy Knabb (Drew) of Fox Point, Wis., and Peggy Nicholson (Justin Tosco) of Durham; and her great nieces and nephews who loved their “Aunt Lady.”
For more than 20 years, Peggy served as a chaplain at Duke Hospital. She was a certified educator for the hospital’s Clinical Pastoral Education program. A graduate of Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Peggy received her master’s degree in divinity from Duke University. She completed her residency in pastoral care at Duke and is certified as an ACPE certified educator by the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education. She previously served as a chaplain with Partners in Caring, an HIV/AIDS ministry.
Perhaps Peggy’s greatest gift was how she made everyone around her feel truly seen and heard, knowing exactly whether you needed wisdom, wit, or just an understanding smile. In addition to bringing great conversation, laughter and love to any occasion, Peggy excelled in party planning and gift giving. Her gifts were also shared in the way she eased the nerves of countless couples as their wedding officiant and comforted grieving families with words and compassion in times of loss.
Extremely proud of her son, Peggy delighted in the company of Austin and Tara and the home they created for foster children. While she loved her grandmother name, “Mamie,” she especially loved “being” a Mamie, a role which she embraced devotedly.
The memorial service for Peggy will be held Friday, November 17, at 3 p.m. in the outdoor sanctuary at Bluestem Conservation Cemetery, 1900 Hurdle Mills Road, Cedar Grove, N.C. Because this is a natural area, guests are encouraged to dress comfortably. A private burial will be held earlier.

Mary Ann Weigel’s own statement from the publication: Retired Supervisor’s Network-Legacy Issue-ACPE Annual Conference, Minneapolis, MN: May 3-6,2017
“We have not ceased in our explorations until we have come full circle and know that place for the first time.” T.S. Eliot
The above statement was the title of my theory paper for supervision. I have experienced this phenomenon in my own growth as a supervisor and observing the process in my students. I entered CPE from the background of Presentation Sisters formation program and Marquette University, Milwaukee WI, and Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. What excited me most in my training was the interdenominational nature of the groups. That breadth and depth of the training environment watered my soul from the beginning. Today I still receive the greatest satisfaction working within ecumenical circles. I am indebted to S. Marvin Johnson, Earl Cooper and Adeline Anderson. They were my mentors- supervisors.
My CPE supervision called me to the North Central region and within that support I was fully certified in 1983. In Fargo, ND at Saint Luke's Hospital (now Sanford) and at Mayo Clinic, Rochester MN, I spent 33 years supervising students. A cast of characters have been my students, both learning from them and helping them reflect on their learning. I probably would have never been in ministry without the interdenominational aspects of the learning environment. My high point in supervision has always been the basic seminary students. What excitement in the eyes of a student who for the first time was able to integrate (get it) theology with the practice of the ministry!
One learns by teaching. In working within the ecumenical setting, I have been able to deepen my own Roman Catholic theology as that has evolved over time. I am deeply grateful for what I have learned from my students and the part I have been able to play in their professional and personal development.

Rev. Dr. C. George Fitzgerald, who most people knew as George, was born on July 23, 1934, in Faith, South Dakota to Roland Edward Fitzgerald and Mary Elizabeth Weedman Fitzgerald. His family moved to Glendale, CA on December 7, 1941, where George attended school and was in The Police Boys Band. He graduated from UCLA in 1956. He graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1959. He married Mary Lee in 1959. They had two children, Erin and David. They both had children, making him Grandpa George.
Upon completing his seminary education, he was ordained a pastor in the Presbyterian Church. His first assignment as a new pastor was in a small mining town of Minturn where he also performed services every Sunday in the small town of Redcliff. Following that he served a church in a suburb of Denver, Broomfield, 1961-1965 where he had been called to assist the church to get out of debt after building a new building.
Following his ministry with the church in Broomfield he spent one year at Menniger Foundation, Topeka, Kansas enrolled as a fellow in Pastoral Care Ministry. Upon his successful completion of that training he was certified by ACPE as a CPE Supervisor and in 1966 began as a chaplain Princeton Hospital. He also trained in family therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York City.
In 1978 he left the east coast and began as the Director of Chaplains at Presbyterian Hospital in San Francisco. He worked there until 1988 when he became the Director of Spiritual Care at Stanford Hospital. He had a successful career at Stanford and retired in 2014 at age 80. George was active in his professional organization, ACPE, Inc. One year he received the Distinguished Service Award for his work with ACPE, especially with the international community. During the time he was at Presbyterian Hospital he was enrolled in a doctoral program at San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo, CA. He was immensely proud when he completed this doctoral degree in systematic theology.
He married his wife, Susan, in 1983. They both sang in the choir at Old First Presbyterian Church in San Francisco. After living a couple of years in San Francisco, they moved to Alameda, an island adjacent to the City of Oakland.

George and Susan were active service volunteers in Rotary International and The Hearing Loss Association of America. They also were members of the Aeolian Yacht Club. They enjoyed traveling, having visited five different continents in their travels. They were active in their local Presbyterian Church during their marriage.
One endeavor George was proud of was in 2006 when a group of 12 gathered to discuss rescuing a journal that focused on educating chaplains and creating a new life for the journal. The Board elected him as the president of the Board of Editors for Reflective Practice. He served as the president of the Board for ten years. This new journal is now in its seventeenth year of publication and going strong.
The last year of George’s life was challenging for him and his family. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year and required 24-hour care in a memory care center in Oakland. While at the care facility he required surgeries twice. Following each surgery, he needed to recuperate in a care facility for memory patients recuperating from surgery. On July 6 he died while taking his afternoon nap.
