Serving with Heart at the Poker Run for Nicole Blevins
Appalachian Funeral Home will be honored to attend the Poker Run benefiting Nicole Blevins, as she continues her long road of healing after the tragic loss of her daughters, Riley and Maggie.

During the event, our team will be selling jam and bread-and-butter pickles, with all proceeds going directly to support Nicole as she rebuilds her life.

This is our way of showing up — not just as professionals, but as neighbors, friends, and members of this community who believe in taking care of one another when it matters most.
