Melanie Lynn
“Thomas” Creasey, 45, was born to Fred & Barbara Thomas on May 6, 1973
in Pulaski, VA. She fell asleep in death on Monday, November 19, 2018.
Melanie is survived by her husband of 27 years, Darrell (Roanoke, Va). Her
maternal grandmother: Marie Forscutt (Jonesville, Nc). Her parents: Fred
& Barbara (Floyd, Va). Siblings: Diana (Kris) Basham and Matthew
(Jessica) both of Floyd, Va. Joy (Adam) Toney and Corinna (Rex) Ferguson
both of Hendersonville, Nc. Andrew (Karen) of Pulaski, Va. As well as a
multitude of Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews and special friends.
At the young age of 27, Melanie was diagnosed, and began her fight, with
Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Melanie was known to be a loving, caring, happy,
positive person. Many who went to encourage her over the years often left
feeling that she was the one that encouraged them. Even though her disease
has taken many things from her over the years it couldn’t take her passion
for life.
Over the past 18 years Darrell has dedicated his life to keeping Melanie as
comfortable and happy as possible. She truly enjoyed their time together.
He did all he could to make her smile and laugh.
What a comfort to know that the hope Melanie had was in Jehovah, a God who
yearns to bring his loyal ones, like Melanie, back to life. We find
reassurance in the he words of Job whom said, “You will call, and I will
answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.” (Job 14:15).
There will be a memorial service held on Sunday, November 25th at 4:30 pm
at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses 3626 Cove Road, Roanoke, VA

Thomas (Kilroy) Niday, 63, of Troutville, passed away on Thursday, February
28, 2013. Shirley was the "voice" of Magic City Ford for many
years with the tag line "We are so nice to deal with!" which will
be lovingly remembered by Roanoke Valley citizens for many years.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Maston
Lafayette and Anna Mae Thomas; and sister-in-law, Liz Thomas.
Left to cherish her memory are her loving and devoted husband
of 30 years, Wayne Niday; daughters and sons-in- law, Kitty Renee and Alan
Rierson, of Troutville, and Tracy Nicole and Ricky Boblett, of Buchanan;
grandchildren, Cheyenne and Briana Cundiff, Kiana and Jake McNutt; step
grandchildren, Keri and Kimber Rierson; sister, Gail Thomas, of Floyd;

Linda Thomas, Fred and Barbara Thomas, Richard and Debbie Thomas, all of
Floyd, Steve and Debbie Thomas, of Roanoke, and Lane and Debbie Thomas, of
Floyd; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins; and many special friends.
During her career in advertising, she made an
extraordinary number of friends too numerous to mention as well as those in
the NASCAR Racing community. She never met a stranger, was a loving wife
and mother, and had a beautiful smile which she never lost not even in her
long battle with breast cancer. She was loved by all those who knew her and
will be greatly missed.
The family would like to thank all the friends and
neighbors for all their love and support. A special thank you to Rachael
Osbourne and the Amedisys Hospice staff for their love and support through
this difficult time.
Funeral Services will be held at 1 p.m. on Sunday, March
3, 2013, at Simpson Funeral Home, 5160 Peters Creek Road, Roanoke with Mr.
Marty Raneri officiating. Interment will follow
