Raymond Lee Nichols, 71, of Hardy, Va., went to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, August 23, 2019, at his home following a brief battle with cancer. Raymond is the youngest son of the late “Rich” and Ollie Mae Nichols of Copper Hill, Va.

He is remembered as a kind, gentle and caring man who loved kids, his family, friends, animals and they all will certainly miss him.

He moved to California to work as an airplane mechanic at a very young age and lived on a large horse ranch. He later returned to the Roanoke Valley where he continued his mechanic work, most recently as a diesel mechanic for Hammond Trucking and Cundiff Trucking for a number of years. He was a jack-of-all-trades and could do most anything he set his mind to.

His family would like to thank the staff at Carilion Roanoke memorial Hospital and Medi Home Hospice for their care during these past several weeks. Many thanks to all the family and friends for their care, prayers, visits, cards and the love shown by all—God Bless You!

COPPER HILL, Va. Barry Turner Smith, 72, entered Heaven's gates to be with his Lord and Savior while surrounded by family and friends on Monday, January 8, 2018, at Lewis Gale Hospital following a hard-fought three-year battle with cancer. We rejoice in his complete healing in Jesus and his Heavenly reunion with many loved ones who have gone before, especially in his reunion with his only child, Thomas Wayne Smith. Barry is the son of the late Dan and Mary Smith of Copper Hill. Left to cherish his memory are his loving and devoted wife of 52 years, Sue Smith, and his loyal grandsons, Devin and Derek Smith of the home. He is survived by his twin brother, Larry (Debbie) Smith of Check; his sister, Rita Smith of Willis, many brothers and sisters-in-law, numerous nieces and nephews, and friends who were like family. Barry was retired from New River Electrical Corporation in Cloverdale, Virginia after 30 plus years of dedicated service as a Mechanic and Fleet Manager. Barry was a faithful member of Copper Hill Church of the Brethren, where he served in many capacities, including, Sunday school teacher, driver of the church van for Vacation Bible School ministries, serving on many committees, taking charge of the maintenance of the church van, and serving as a deacon for several years. He also served his community faithfully for many years as the neighborhood mechanic - a very talented and knowledgeable mechanic, who was always willing to lend a hand - something he greatly enjoyed all of his life and sorely missed when he was no longer able. Barry was an avid Earnhardt and NASCAR fan, and a die-hard Chevy enthusiast - being especially proud of his award-winning '67 Nova. Ford owners beware! Barry's family is grateful to Dr. Andrew Fintel and all the doctors, nurses, and staff at Lewis Gale Hospital and Blue Ridge Cancer Center for their care and to their many family members and friends who have visited, called, prayed for, and supported them throughout Barry's sickness and passing, truly demonstrating Christ's commandment to love one another as Christ has loved us (John 15:12). Funeral arrangements were handled by Gardner Funeral Home in Floyd. The family received friends on Thursday, January 11, 2018, from 12 until 8 p.m. at Gardner Funeral Home. The funeral was officiated by Pastor Dan Johnson and Pastor Maurice Wright on Friday, January 12, 2018, 2 p.m. at Copper Hill Church of the Brethren, interment immediately followed. Online condolences may be made at garnderfuneralhomefloyd.com or on Facebook @gardnerfuneralhomefloyd. Gardner Funeral Home is serving the family.

Compilers’ notes regarding Rhoda Frances “Fannie” Greene:

I think Fannie was probably a single mother. In the 1900 census record she states she is divorced but I doubt it. She does marry Peter Preston Smith, a 50 yo widower, in 1912 but this is well after her, at least 7, children were born. Some of those children used the Greene surname others Smith.
