Margie Richmond
November 17, 1926 — March 20, 2011
Margie Eloise Via Richmond, 84, of Jumping Branch went home to be with her Lord, Sunday, March 20, 2011 at the Greenbrier Valley Medical Center, after a long, courageous battle with heart disease and diabetes.
Born on November 17, 1926, at Beech Run, she was the daughter of the late
Avery Conrad and Bertha Ellen Williams Via. She was preceded in death
by a grandson, Michael Shane Richmond; a brother, Howard Lee Via; and an infant brother.
She is survived by four children: Drema Kay Rose and husband Earl, of Lewisburg; Noah Bernard Richmond, Jr. and wife Phyllis, of Jumping Branch;
Linda Sue Brumit, and her companion Dr. James C. Miller, of Hinton; Richard Keith Richmond and wife Susan, of Jumping Branch. She is survived by twelve grandchildren: Michelle Zicafoose, Kimberly Rose, Kelly Banton, Edward Rose, Michael Shawn Richmond, Stephanie Boswell,
Amanda Johnson, Noah Richmond III, Steven Brumit, Melanie Stewart, Nathan
Richmond, and Lydia Richmond; ten great grandchildren; two sisters, Norma Jean
Bennett, of Alderson, and Mary June Cole, of Shady Spring; two brothers, Donald Via, of Beaver, and Norman A. Via, of Beckley; two special nieces, Jane Bennett, of Alderson, and Connie Young, of Charlotte, NC.
Eloise was an humble servant of the Lord and a faithful member of the Bluestone
Baptist Church, where she worked joyfully and tirelessly beside her sisters in Christ in the church?s kitchen ministry. She was famous for her coconut cream pie!
She was an active member of the JB-Nimitz CEOS and the Jumping Branch-Nimitz
Senior Citizens. She was also a talented seamstress, whose beautiful hand-crafted quilts won recognition in the West Virginia Water Festival and the State Fair of West Virginia. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, who loved, supported, and encouraged her family and friends in any way she could. Her loving and generous spirit will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.
Funeral services for Eloise will be held at 2:00 PM on Wednesday, March 23, 2011, at the Bluestone Baptist Church at Jumping Branch. Her pastor, Bill Fox, will officiate. Burial will follow in the Lilly-Crews Cemetery at Nimitz. Friends may call
from 6-9 PM Tuesday, at Bluestone Baptist Church at Jumping Branch and at the church one hour prior to services on Wednesday.
Flowers will be greatly appreciated, but for those who would prefer to express their sympathy in another manner, the family suggests that memorial contributions be made to the Bluestone Baptist Church.
