John Joseph Murphy Jr.

John Joseph Murphy Jr, a native of New York and a resident of Weber City, Virginia, passed away peacefully on October 29th, 2025, at the age of 91.

Born in New York, John was proud of his roots and carried the values of hard work, integrity, and compassion that defined his upbringing. After many years in New York, he relocated to Virginia to be near his family, where he continued to share his warmth, kindness, and generous spirit with all who knew him.

John will be remembered for his big heart, unwavering loyalty, and genuine love for life. He had a deep appreciation for old westerns and nature and especially enjoyed fishing—a pastime that brought him great peace and fulfillment. Whether by a quiet lake or along the shore, he found joy in the stillness of the outdoors and the camaraderie that came with sharing those moments with family and friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Allan Bryon Clark.

He is survived by his daughters, Cynthia Imler and Johanna Murphy; sister, Patricia Gembicki; grandchildren, Stephanie Beckerman and husband Joshua, Skye Jones and wife Kaitlyn, Samantha Anne Clark, Brittany Phillips and husband Terry, Shalena Sloan and husband Josh; great-grandchildren, Rayne Armstrong, Kylee Beckerman, Lilliana Beckerman, Nova Beckerman, Ryatt Beckerman, Atlas Beckerman, Jase Jones, River Jones, Julissa Dawn Clark, Jordan Elizabeth Clark, Maverick Phillips, Allaya Sloan, and Allison Sloan, as well as many friends who will cherish his memory.

Floyd Lee Lemons Jr.

In the early morning of October 30th, 2025, Floyd Lee Lemons Jr. was reunited in death with

his beloved parents, Delta and Floyd Lemons Sr.

Floyd proudly served on active duty in the U.S. Navy during Desert Storm. Following his

service, he met the love of his life, Elizabeth, with whom he shared 30 wonderful years of

marriage. Together, they built a beautiful family and a life filled with laughter, love, and

unwavering devotion.

He is survived by his wife Elizabeth Lemons, their children Lilliana Lemons, Jacob Lemons,

and Danielle Lemons, and his four cherished grandchildren - Jace Lemons, Isabella

Lemons, Dillon Lemons, and Jasper Price.

Floyd was a loving husband, devoted father, proud grandfather, and a friend to all. He was a

man who never met a stranger, known for his easy smile, big heart, and the way he could make

anyone feel at home. Those who knew him will remember his love for hunting, watching MMA,

and cheering on his beloved Miami Hurricanes. But above all, Floyd's greatest joy and purpose

in life was his family - they were his passion and his drive.

The family asks that those attending the viewing and celebration of Floyd's life please wear

orange or green in honor of his favorite team. Floyd never wanted tears or sorrow; he wanted

his life to be celebrated with joy, laughter, and good memories.

Viewing service details will be announced at a later date.

Pamela Julia Vanhoy

Pamela Julia Vanhoy, 52, of Watauga, TN, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

Pamela was born in West Virginia and graduated from Ripley High School, where she proudly cheered on the sidelines as a cheerleader. She and her husband, Travis, were high school sweethearts and shared 35 wonderful years together. More than anything, Pamela loved being a wife and mother, her family was her greatest joy. Her grandchildren were the light of her life.

Pamela had a creative spirit and a deep love for art. She poured her heart into spreading God's word through her writing and children's books, combining her talent and faith in beautiful ways. She loved spending time outdoors and could often be found walking through Watauga, usually with her beloved dog, Babygirl, riding happily in a stroller by her side.

Pamela was outgoing and outspoken, wild, free, and full of life. She had a contagious laugh, a million-dollar smile, and a gift for making everyone feel welcome. She would give you the shirt off her back, never let anyone leave her house hungry, and would have offered a home to anyone who needed one. She truly had one of the most loving and caring hearts imaginable, she was a shining light to all who knew her.

She will be deeply missed by her family, who will forever cherish her memory: her devoted husband, Travis Vanhoy; father, Eddie Parsons; mother, Christy Kelly Parsons; sisters, Polla Johnson (David), Priscilla Parsons, and Sarah Kelly; daughter, Samantha Vanhoy; sons, Colby Vanhoy and Cory Vanhoy; as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who loved her dearly.
