My condolances are with you. I had the honor to see her play Bingo one last time at the fundraiser that was held at the BVFD for my Barbour County Strutters Baton and Dance Team in which we were holding a fundraiser there to raise money to take the kids to the OutBack Football Game January 1, 2020 as halftime perfomers. It was an honor and priveledge for us to have her to be a part of that. God Bless her and may she rest in peace. I am also the Bereavement & Volunteer Coordinator at Mountain Hospice it truly is strange how the Lord has a plan for us to meet one another.
Prayers to you and your family Chester
Dear Evelyn (ET) and family: Just read your mother's obituary in The InterMtn. She had a very full life! And two wonderful girls! May God be with you and your family at this time. Love you! Wini Fink
To the family. I am very saddened for your loss. May all your loving memories bring you comfort at this difficult time.
This sweet woman is someone I absolutely adored and always looked forward to seeing each time we got to visit West Virginia. She always welcomed us with the biggest smile. She loved all the grandchildren and great grandchildren so much and you could just see the pure joy in her eyes when everyone gathered at Christmas time. She was truly an amazing woman and she is a great loss to this earth.
Chester & family,
