Franklin Delano West, 87, of Salem
entered the Gates of Heaven on October 19, 2021. His Christian faith was
the core of all he was, and he lived his life for God and inspired his
family to do the same. He had been a member of Salem Baptist Church since 1965
where he served in many ways to include Sunday School teacher, a ministry
sharing the Gospel with inmates at the Salem jail, and as a church deacon.
He was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather,
great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.
Frank was born in Check, VA, on June 11, 1934, to Terry Samuel and Ima
(Saunders) West. The youngest child of six, affectionately known as
"Frankie D." as a child, he lived in Check, VA, where his parents
ran a store. He spent a lot of time with his paternal grandparents
especially after a tragic heart attack took the life of his father in 1937
when Frank was only 3 years old. His father's parents and siblings helped
raise him, his brothers (Terry, John William, and Richard), and sisters
(Eura and Mary Alice) leading to his very close relationships with his
uncle John Grover West and five aunts (Mary, Erma, Alice, Willie, and
Dolly) on a farm in Floyd County that they affectionately called Westwood.
Frank attended Check Elementary School until the family moved to Salem and
he graduated from Andrew Lewis High School in 1952. As a college student at
Carson Newman in Jefferson City, Tennessee, he met the beautiful Miss Jenny
Helton who he made his wife on June 30, 1956. The newlyweds moved to
Richmond, VA, where Jenny got her first teaching job and Frank began a
Social Work graduate program at William and Mary University. Their son Mark
was born in Richmond in October of 1957. Upon completion of his master's in
social work, Frank quickly found a job at the Salem Veterans Medical Center
where he worked for over 35 years while Jenny taught 3rd grade in the Salem
area. In November 1963, they completed their family with son David. Frank
retired in 1992 as the Chief of the Social Work Department at the Salem VA
Medical Center.
Frank was preceded in death by his parents, sister Eura Banner, brothers
Terry West and John William West, brothers-in-law James Turner and Clyde
Banner, sisters-in-law Esther West and Bobbie West, daughter-in-law
Jennifer West and nephew Jamie Turner.
Frank is survived by his wife of 65 years, Virginia "Jenny" West
of Salem, VA; son Mark (Kathryn) and grandson John of Floyd, VA; son David
(Denise) of Huddleston, VA; grandson Sam (Lisa) and great grandchildren
Chloe, Jackson, and Katelyn of Port St Lucie, FL; his sister Mary Alice
Turner of Salem, VA; and his brother Richard West of Chattanooga, TN.
A chapel funeral service will be held on Sunday, October 24, 2021, at John
M. Oakey & Son Funeral Home in Salem, with visitation from 1-2:30pm,
the service will begin at 2:30 p.m. Frank will be laid to rest during a
private family committal service in the West Family Cemetery in Floyd,
immediately following the chapel service.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the members of
the Visiting Angels, Medi Home Health and Hospice, and the many
compassionate caregivers who touched Frank's life at a difficult time.
