Jeanette Hodges Hansbrough, formerly of Floyd, passed away January 20, 2023, after a long battle with cancer. She was 80 years old. She passed away in her home in Riverview, Florida surrounded by her family.
It would be wrong to say Jeanette lost her battle because she never stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was always determined. When anyone else would have broken, Jeanette stayed strong. Through her, we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like. Just because she is no longer here, her fight and determination will live on in our memories.
Jeanette is survived by her sons, Gary Hansbrough, Todd Hansbrough, and Danny Hansbrough, brothers Charles Hodges, Everett Hodges, Clyde Hodges, and sister Barbara Miles, eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
Her ashes will be laid to rest next to her husband, Gene Hansbrough, who preceded her in death at the Jacksonville Cemetery in Floyd in a private family ceremony.

Irene Vaughn Harris, 95, of Floyd, went home to be with her Lord and Savior February 6, 2015. She was born September 17, 1919 in Willis, to Sol J. and Dora Harman Vaughn. She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Junior M. "Pete" Harris; son, Carl Edward Harris; sisters, Vada Hylton and Husband Unice and her twin sister, Pauline "Polly" Childress and husband Brian; brothers, Garver, Harman and Leroy Vaughn.
She is survived by daughter, Janet Elree Slusher and mate Howard Meredith; son, Maurice Glen Harris and wife Linda; grandchildren, Sherry Yopp, Lora Mullins and husband Brad, Jason Slusher and wife Tonya and Scott Harris; great-grandchildren, Conner Cox, Chevy Cox, Acacia Freeman, Tala Maya Freeman, Rhiannon Mullins, Joshua Slusher, Matthew Slusher, and Alyssa Harris. Also several sisters-in-law and many nieces; and nephews.
In her earlier years she operated Harris Grocery in the Buffalo Mt. area and later she worked in the apparel factory's in Floyd, for many years.
Miss Irene, as she was known by many, never met a stranger and befriended all. She was known around the country and Floyd County for her music playing. She taught herself to play guitar and harmonica at the same time, at a very young age. She also could play mandolin, autoharp, and piano. Musicians from far and near came to her store on Friday and Saturday nights to jam and play with her in the 1950's and 1960's. When the Cockram's Store (now Floyd Country Store) started having music jams, she felt right at home playing there as she did in her store in the Buffalo Mt. area.
From the Country Store in Floyd, she would welcome and host musicians and friends alike to her home in town. Some were nationally known such as Ronni Stoneman (the ironing board lady on Hee-Haw) from Nashville, Tennessee, the wife of legendary Charlie Waller and The Country Gentlemen band.
She was loved dearly by her family and a multitude of friends. She loved her Lord and Savior and took her children, along with her husband, to the rock churches built by the Rev. Bob Childress. Her twin sisters husband, the Rev Brain Childress preached and sometimes she would go to as many as three or four different churches in one Sunday.
Her loving smiles and hugs will be missed dearly by her family and friends but Heaven will be gaining a new musician to the Angel band.
Funeral Services will be held 2 p.m. Sunday, February 8, 2015 at Maberry Funeral Home with the Rev. S.G. Bolt and Pastor Roy Turpin officiating. Interment will be at Jacksonville Cemetery. Visitation will be 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, February 7, 2015.

She enjoyed people and touched the lives of so many around her whether it be at work at Floyd Garment Co., the Bank of Floyd, walking the streets of the town of Floyd, calling family to keep in touch, visiting the nursing home, or in her home with family, her smiles and hugs could brighten your day and she used them often. She came from a large family and missed them terribly as they began to finish their earthly journeys and leave loved ones behind. Failing health kept her close to home in recent years. We take comfort in knowing she is healed and happy with Jesus. The family would like to thank Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren, Floyd County Fire Department Station #1, Crystal Black, and Mary Ann and staff.

Roanoke Times, The (VA) - Sunday, August 4, 2013

Celia Jane Talbert Howard passed away at her home in Floyd, Virginia surrounded by her loving family on July 3, 2023 at the age of 88. She contracted COVID while recovering at the local nursing home from a fractured pelvis due to a fall in May. Following unsuccessful treatment for COVID at a local hospital she came home on hospice.

While her given name was Celia, her family and friends always knew her as Betty. She had many adventures in life, but most important to her was Brown, her soulmate of 58 years, and her family. Coming from a small town in West Virginia, the life of an Air Force officer’s wife was a big change, as was living in Germany, Las Vegas, and various bases throughout Southeast USA. This is when Betty learned the art of entertaining, as that was an essential aspect of military life for her.

After her husband’s retirement from an Air Force career as a fighter pilot, they initially lived in Myrtle Beach, SC. Their next adventure was moving to the mountains of Floyd, VA, and building a house on the family property that she helped design and decorate. Betty was proud to be a homemaker and enjoyed hosting celebrations with family and friends, including her sisters wedding. Her home and grounds were even featured several times in newspapers. She was surprised by, and always appreciated all the positive comments she received at the open house events associated with these publications.

Betty joined the Presbyterian Church of Floyd in 1975 and regularly attended services until her health made it too difficult. In spite of her mobility issues, she continued her communion with God and was always interested in long discussions on the subject with her family and friends.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband Brown Grattan Howard III; son Brown Grattan Howard IV; parents, Okey and Nora Talbert; sisters, Louise Pane, Flora Davis, Onalee Talbert; and brothers, Jimmy, Johny, Okey and Donald Talbert. She is survived by her son Michael Howard and wife Kristina; daughter-in-law Susan Howard; grandchildren, David Howard and wife Kristen, Jason Howard and wife Kirsty; great-grandchild Hannah Howard; sisters, Hazel Thacker and husband Herbert, and Lorene Cloninger; brothers, Delbert Talbert and wife Dortha, and Wallace Talbert; and many dear nieces, nephews and friends.

There will be a graveside service at Jacksonville Cemetery, 120 Parkway Ln S, Floyd, VA 24091, at 2 pm on August 19, 2023 with Rev. Robert McLavey officiating. The family will receive friends at the fellowship hall of the Presbyterian Church of Floyd following the service.

Betty desired that any remembrances be directed to the Presbyterian Church of Floyd (www.pcfloyd.org), 169 Newtown Road, Floyd, VA 24091; or, a tree can be planted in remembrance of Betty (see instructions for the Sympathy Store following The Roanoke Times/Legacy obituary).

HOWELL, Wister H., 90, of Christiansburg, formerly of Floyd, passed away peacefully at his home Tuesday, December 30, 1997, after a valiant struggle against the infirmities of age. Mr. Howell was a much respected clock and watch repairman in Floyd for many years. He also spent several years as a guard at the old state convict road camps, as well as having worked in maintenance at Floyd County Court House for about 15 years after his official retirement. Work was his whole life. He was truly happy when he was busy, and was someone to be envied as he could make, repair, and do almost anything that he set his mind to. He was born in Floyd July 16, 1907 to John Aster and Tecora DeHart Howell, and resided there until moving to Christiansburg in 1994. Mr. Howell's ancestors were among the early settlers of Floyd, his father having been a highly respected blacksmith in the East View Section of the County. He was preceded in death by his wife, Emma Goad Howell. He is survived by one son, William H. Howell of the home, who loved him very much. He is also survived by one sister, Odessa Thomas of Eden, N.C. He is now at rest with Mom and God. Funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Maberry Funeral Home Chapel, Floyd, with Rev. Norman Goad officiating. Friends may call at the Maberry Funeral Home on Thursday, where the family will be from 9 a.m. until service time. Burial will be private in Jacksonville Cemetery.

m. 1952 Pittsyvania Co., VA

nee Dorothea White, b. Pittsyvania Co., VA, d/o George Townes Rison & Myrtle Coleman (Reynolds) White. [no file]

On Tuesday, November 3, 2015, it pleased God to take William Thomas Hylton, 87, to his heavenly home. He passed away at LewisGale Montgomery hospital in Blacksburg with his wife, Dorothea, by his side. A mining engineer who worked in the coal industry across America, and an alumnus of Virginia Tech, he and his wife had retired to Blacksburg a number of years ago.
Mr. Hylton was a native of Floyd, Virginia, the third child and only son of the late Cephas Alvin Hylton and his wife Louetta Bishop. The family had deep roots in Southwestern Virginia. At the time of his birth in 1928, his father was sheriff of Floyd County, Virginia.
His father held the post of sheriff for 16 years, much of it during Prohibition, and then moved the family to farm in Radford around 1938 where they raised Angus cattle. It was there that Mr. Hylton reached his adulthood. The tall, handsome young man had completed a year at Virginia Tech when he met Dorothea White of Chatham, a student at Radford College. The two were married in 1952 in Chatham. He was drawn to both the geological and mechanical aspects of mining engineering, and he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Virginia Tech's College of Engineering in 1956.
During an era when coal powered America's industry, Mr. Hylton held supervisory positions at a number of companies, including CONSOL, Eastern Associates, Lykes, John Hardesty, Anchor Coal, and Utah Power and Light. His career took the family to Fairmont, West Virginia, Eighty Four, Pennsylvania, Athens, Ohio, Morganton, West Virginia, and Price, Utah.
Mr. Hylton was an accomplished hunter and fisherman and a stalwart Virginia Tech fan who held season tickets to Hokies football. Not many years ago, he donated his collection of rare mining memorabilia to the Virginia Tech mining engineering department.
Mr. Hylton's broad interests and natural friendliness drew family and friends close. He loved history and the natural world, frequently visiting historic battlefields, monuments and national parks, and he was generous in sharing his insights and learning with others. He was blessed with a deep sense of humor, and his voice held the low and melodious tones so distinctive of his native county. He inherited an interest in politics from his father and was a lifelong Republican. Once he made a friend, it was for life, and he took it as his duty and honor to help others. He was an avid reader who preferred mysteries, especially those of Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler. He was a Presbyterian all of his life.
Mr. Hylton belonged to that vanishing generation of honorable men who did not openly display their affection but whose love was nonetheless boundless. He and his wife raised a wonderful family. Survivors include his wife, Dot Hylton, of the home; son, William Thomas Hylton II of Port Huron, Michigan, son, Richard Alvin Hylton of Morgantown, West Virginia, son, David Stuart Hylton of Huntsville, Alabama, and his wife, Stacy, and son, Robert Alan Hylton of Summerville, South Carolina, and his wife, Cindy Lea. Also, grandchildren, James Hylton of Boulder, Colorado and Holland, Michigan, Will Hylton of Big Rapids, Michigan, Katherine Elizabeth Hylton of Raleigh, North Carolina, Kirsten Anne Tjarks of Huntsville, Alabama, Amy Hylton Cooke of Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, Jennifer Radovich of Arvada, Colorado, and Robert Alexander and Elizabeth Grace Hylton of Summerville, South Carolina; and great-grandchildren, Dylan Cooke and Lillian and Juliette Radovich. Mr. Hylton was predeceased by his sisters, Geneva Elsie Hylton Chumbley and Marguerite Faye (Peggy) Hylton. His grandparents were James A. and Hannah (Keith) Hylton and James Thomas and Mary Ann (Caldwell) Bishop.
Mr. Hylton will be laid to rest in the town of his birth. A memorial service will be held Saturday, November 7, 2015 at 2 p.m. in the Northside Presbyterian Church in Blacksburg. Arrangements by McCoy Funeral Home, Blacksburg.
In lieu of flowers, gifts may be sent to Northside Presbyterian Church, 1017 Progress Street, NW, Blacksburg, VA 24060, or Wounded Warriors Project. (src: FAG)
