Betty Webster

Betty Louise Webster, age 76 of Moorefield, WV, passed away Friday evening, November 7, 2025, at the Grant Memorial Hospital in Petersburg, WV. Born on December 5, 1948, in Covel, WV, she was the daughter of the late Wade Holland McBride and Edith Mae Bennett McBride. Her husband James W. “Joe” Webster preceded her in death in September 2012. A great-granddaughter, Madison and siblings, Virginia Miller, Norma Jean Kelly and Wade H. McBridge, Jr. also preceded her in death.

A proud 1966 graduate of Herndon High School in Wyoming County, Betty was a remarkable woman full of life and joy. She had a passion for playing Yahtzee, especially with her family and friends, often filled with laughter and friendly competition. Known for her keen eye for bargains, she had quite the collection of shoes that could rival even the best shoe stores! In her younger days, you could find her taking an exhilarating ATV ride, camping under the stars, or casting her fishing line with glee. Above all, her favorite moments were those spent doting on her family, particularly her grandchildren.

Surviving is her daughter, Susie Webster of Moorefield, WV, grandchildren, Justin Lockley and Derek Lockley of Moorefield, WV and Miranda Harvey of Romney, WV and great-grandchildren, James, Elijah, Blake and Addy.

Betty may have left this world, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of all those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Patsy Kelly

Patsy Ann Kelly, age 75 of Columbia, MD, passed away Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at her residence. Born on March 13, 1950, in Petersburg, WV, she was the daughter of the late Arno Leroy Pratt and Catherine Virginia Crites Pratt. Her husband, Anthony Wilson Kelly preceded her in death in July 2003. Brothers, Donnie Pratt and Randy Pratt also preceded her in death.

Patsy, a true West Virginia girl at heart, spent her early years surrounded by rolling hills and the warmth of family. Active in Girl Scouts and also 4-H, she developed a lifelong fondness for horses. Though she eventually made Maryland her home, she cherished her roots, returning often to visit family and friends. With a spirited nature, she took to the profession of barbering right after high school, bringing joy and fresh haircuts to many farmers who could hardly make it to her chair. Her generous heart and willingness to go the extra mile reflected her love for others and her deep connection to the countryside.

Patsy was more than just a talented barber; she was an avid storyteller and a passionate writer. Many days found her lost amidst boxes filled with her short stories, each one a window into her creative soul. She and her late husband, Anthony, shared a love for music that often filled the kitchen with melodies. Friends and family would gather, creating memories as they played together for hours on end.

Surviving are three sons, Michael Kelly of Thurmont, MD, Daniel Kelly of Goldsboro, MD and Wade Kelly of Catonsville, MD; three grandchildren; a sister Barbara Pratt of Ormond Beach, FL and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Funeral Services will be conducted 1:00 PM Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at the Fraley Funeral Home Chapel, 107 Washington Street with Pastor Mark Flynn officiant. Interment will follow in the Olivet Cemetery. The family will welcome friends starting at 12 PM (Noon) until the service begins, offering a time for stories, laughter, and remembrance.

Patsy was a joy to all who knew her, leaving behind a beautiful tapestry of memories, laughter, and love. Join us as we honor the beautiful spirit of Patsy Ann Kelly.

Jimmy Sherman, Sr.

Jimmy Faye Sherman, Sr. age 87 of Milam, WV was embraced by his Heavenly Father on Saturday afternoon, October 25th, 2025. Jimmy was born on June 26th, 1938, in Moorefield, WV, to the late Brownley Homer Sherman and Ethel Virginia (Southerly) Sherman.

Jimmy was a devoted Christian, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was an active member of Mt. Carmel Church of the Brethren, where his rich voice led the congregation in song for many years. Jimmy was a man of many skills and trades. He had worked both blue- and white-collar jobs. Jimmy retired from a 20-year career with Pilgrims Pride as a feed truck driver. But Jimmy was never one to let grass grow under his feet. Not long after retirement he went to work part-time at Ponderosa Steakhouse, alongside his beloved wife, Anna Mae.

Those who knew Jimmy will fondly recall his love for the great outdoors. In his younger years he spent countless hours hunting, fishing and admiring the beauty of nature. Jimmy was also known for his self-sufficiency and resourcefulness. Every year, he and his wife, Anna Mae, grew a prosperous garden. They would harvest and preserve the fruits of their labor with pride knowing they would also be sharing their bounty amongst their family and friends. Once the summer harvest was over it was on to harvesting black walnuts. Year round he kept himself busy. He could never be idle for too long. Whether it be managing his vegetable gardens or repairing his lawn mowers, and everything in between, he loved to grow, craft, fix and tinker. He also loved to laugh and crack jokes. He enjoyed playing horseshoes and corn-hole, and once the day was over you could guarantee a western is what would be put on tv.

Jimmy is preceded in death by three brothers and three sisters: Allen Sherman, Lawrence Sherman, and Daniel Sherman, Betty Berrett, Martha Lee Hartman, and Helen Coppe.

Jimmy’s surviving loved ones include his wife, of 65 years, Anna Mae (Zirk) Sherman; his children, Jimmy F. (Melinda) Sherman, Jr. of Moorefield, WV, Deborah Sherman Phares of Milam, WV, Kenneth B. (Cheryl) Sherman of Old Fields, WV, and Teresa (Rob) Borror of Petersburg, WV; eight grandchildren, Tiffany Phares-Suders (Rich), Travis Phares (Desiree), Kelsey Sherman (Justin), Kendall Sherman, Tyler Borror, Ryan Borror (Jennell), Rashay Borror Moser (Kadin), and Trent Borror; two step-grandchildren, Jason Fertig and Dana Fertig; three great-grandchildren, Asher, Huxley and Rowan ; a brother, Ronald O. (Shirley) Sherman, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

The family will receive family and friends from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with the Funeral Services starting at 1:00 PM on Friday, October 31, 2025, at the Fraley Funeral Home Chapel, 107 Washington Street with Pastor Harold Cullers and Rob Borror officiants. Interment will follow in the Davis Cemetery, Milam, WV.

In honor of Jimmy's befitting and lively spirit, the family encourages everyone to share their memories and photos on his Tribute Wall at www.fraleyfuneralhome.com. Let us gather together to reminisce and celebrate the remarkable impact he made on all of us.
