Justice loved to travel and had taken several cruises, her favorite place to be was on a beach in the sunshine listening to the ocean. Justice enjoyed long car rides and singing to her favorite tunes. Karaoke was a favorite thing for her to do. She was creative and enjoyed art, especially drawing. Although she did not cook very often, when she did, she made a delicious fried chicken dinner, but we never asked her to bake because it never turned out very good.
She was a unique, rebellious, stubborn, feisty and caring person who would make you laugh when you were feeling bad. Her smile was contagious and she loved her siblings with her whole heart. She will be missed.
She is survived by three children, Brantley, Logan, and McKenzie Cooper; her parents, Jennifer and Bruce Wilson; paternal grandparents, Lillian and Neil Riddle; maternal grandmother, Anne Russell; siblings, Autumn Shepard (Gage) and Travis Wilson (Emily); and her nieces and nephews, Colton, Adalyn, and Riylea Shepard, Lucas Wilson, Brooklyn and Haven Buchanan.

The color green has long been associated with Ireland, so it makes perfect sense that we should wear green to honor St. Patrick's Day. Do you wear anything special to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

Our experience began in 1972, when the, then named Holcombe Funeral Home was purchased by Robert Capps and became the Capps Funeral Home. We relocated from our previous location on North Main Street to 7626 NC Hwy 213 in the spring of 2002 and in remembrance of Mr. Capps' son Robbie Capps, the name was changed from Capps Funeral Home to Blue Ridge Funeral Service and Robbie Capps Memorial Chapel. In 2014, Mr. Capps retired and his son and daughter in law, Tim and Katherine Capps, purchased the funeral home to continue the family business.
For over 40 years our local funeral directors have always tried to provide the best service at the most affordable price, for every family we serve.

Our directors are ready and qualified to assist you with any type of funeral arrangements you and your family desire.
We plan to give the kind of attention to your family that exceeds expectations. Our goal is to deliver a friendly, compassionate, high quality service to each and every family we serve.
