Phyllis “Phyl” Conrad, 78, passed away peacefully on August 27, 2026, in Woodbridge, VA. Born on February 4, 1948, in Heaters, WV, she was the cherished daughter of the late Thomas Singleton, Sr. and Beulah “Toots” Singleton.

A proud 1965 graduate of Burnsville High School, Phyl left West Virginia shortly after graduation to forge her own path. She went on to build a distinguished, long-term career as a Federal Government worker, eventually retiring from the Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) . Phyl was the beloved cornerstone of her family. She shared 56 beautiful years of marriage with her devoted husband, Donnie (Don) Conrad. Together, they raised two children, Jennifer Conrad-Inge (Kevin) and Jeff Conrad.

Phyl’s heart grew even larger with the birth of her granddaughter, Madison Grace, who was the absolute joy of her life. A true “social butterfly,” Phyl never met a stranger. She possessed a rare warmth that allowed her to strike up a conversation with anyone she crossed paths with, turning everyday encounters into meaningful connections. Phyl lived her life as an ultimate giver. She embodied the phrase “give the shirt off your back,” always ensuring that no one went without. This boundless generosity extended far beyond her immediate family; she welcomed her children’s friends with open arms, making sure they always had food, clothing, gifts, and a place where they felt cared for. Phyl had a deep passion for bringing joy to others, which was beautifully reflected in her love for holidays. While she took great delight in decorating her home for every occasion, Christmas held a magical place in her heart. She was famously known for transforming her home into a winter wonderland, putting up a decorated Christmas tree in almost every single room. Above all, Phyl was fiercely dedicated to her family’s milestones. Throughout her Children’s school years and continuing onto her granddaughter’s life, she never missed an event. Whether it was a sporting event, an after-school activity, or any milestone in between, Phyl was always in the stands, cheering the loudest and serving as their biggest champion.

In addition to her parents, Phyl was preceded in death by her brothers, Udell Singleton and Tom Singleton, Jr.
She is survived by her loving husband, Don; her children, Jennifer and Jeff; her son-in-law, Kevin; her granddaughter, Madison Grace; her brother, Roger Singleton; her sister, Sue Mitchell; and a large circle of extended family and friends whose lives were made brighter by her presence.

Her family is profoundly grateful for the beautiful memories and vibrant traditions they shared with her. Though she will be deeply missed, they take comfort in knowing that her giving spirit lives on in everyone she touched, and that she may now peacefully rest.

Recent health issues kept her from visiting the family farm, but that’s where she wanted to be and where her heart never left. She wanted to be buried in the family cemetery, and the family will honor her wishes. She will be laid to rest in a private service.

In recognition of her love for animals, donations may be made to the Braxton County Animal Shelter or to another worthy cause of your choice.

Stockert Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Phyllis Singleton Conrad.

Chester Ellis Huffman, of Heaters, West Virginia, passed away on August 15, 2026, at the age of 91.

Chester was born on March 13, 1935, on Dumpling Run in Burnsville, West Virginia, to the late Ernest and Ida Huffman. He spent his life rooted in the hills of West Virginia, building a life defined by hard work, devotion to family, and a love for the land.

He is survived by his wife, Betty Maxine (Brown) Huffman. Chester and Betty recently celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary, marking nearly seven decades of a life built together. They were married in 1957 at the Burnsville Parsonage by Preacher Armentrout. Together, they made their home on their farm in Heaters, surrounded by the hills that Chester loved.

Chester is also survived by his son, Rick Huffman (Melinda); daughters, Laura Taylor (Jimmy) and Beth Barnette (James), all of Burnsville; and daughter-in-law, Linda Brown of Flatwoods; grandchildren, Stephanie Arden, Eric Brown, Kevin Rhoades, Adam Barnette, and Erin James; and great-grandchildren, Kira and Ethan Brown, Olivia and Zeb Arden, Tucker Rhoades, and Ava Barnette. He is also survived by his sister, Bonnie Riffle and leaves behind countless nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Chester was preceded in death by his son, Roy Dale Brown; grandson, Cory Huffman; and siblings, Russell Huffman, Carl Huffman, Raymond Huffman, June Huffman, Jimmy Huffman, Roy Huffman, Ralph Huffman, Rena Godfrey, Martha Godfrey, and Mary Keller.

Chester began his working career in the coal mines, then moved to the oil and gas field, assisting with drilling wells. Following this, he dedicated 30 years to his career as an electrician and was a proud member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). Retirement, however, never meant slowing down. Instead, it gave Chester more time to devote himself to one of his greatest passions: farming.

On the farm, Chester cared for goats, sheep, horses, cattle, and the land itself. For his family, summers often meant time together in the hayfield or working in the garden. What may have seemed like work at the time became some of the memories they would treasure most.

Chester also demonstrated throughout his life that it is never too late to accomplish something meaningful. As a teenager, his family's needs prevented him from finishing high school. Decades later, he fulfilled that long-held dream when he received an honorary diploma from Braxton County High School in 2024. It was a proud moment and a fitting reflection of the determination, perseverance, and lifelong desire to learn that characterized Chester’s life.

When he wasn’t working, Chester could often be found collecting antiques or telling a story to anyone willing to listen. He enjoyed sharing a good meal with his family, especially when an outing included a stop at the China Buffet. On Saturday nights, some of Betty’s fondest memories were made right at home, gathered in the living room listening to the country and western Sutton radio station and watching Chester dance along to the oldies.

Above all else, Chester treasured visiting with his family. Any time spent with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren was never wasted.

Chester leaves behind the farm he lovingly tended, a lifetime of stories, and generations of family who were shaped by his hard work, perseverance, humor, and love. The rolling hills of Heaters were his home, but his greatest legacy will live on in the family who loved him and in the countless memories they made together.

The service will be at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at Stockert Funeral Home, 378 Flatwoods Corner Road, Flatwoods, WV. Pastor Delmas Singleton will officiate the service. Visitation will be one hour before the service, from 12-1 p.m. Burial will follow at Little Kanawha Memorial Gardens, Heaters, WV.

Stockert Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Chester Huffman.

Obituary

Paul "Bucky" Wayne Pritt, 86, of Copen, WV, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, July 25, 2026, with his loving family by his side.

Born on August 11, 1939, Bucky was the son of the late Virgil and Elsie Pritt. He was a Baptist by faith, proudly served his country in the United States Army, and spent many years working as a coal miner. He believed in the value of hard work and provided for his family with the same determination and strength that defined his life.

Bucky was a man who loved the outdoors and was never happier than when he was hunting, fishing, trapping, or tending his garden. He appreciated life's simple pleasures—a day in the woods, watching things grow in his garden, time spent with family, and, in years past, enjoying a cold Budweiser after a hard day's work. He was a man of quiet strength, steady character, and deep love for his family. Though he didn't always need many words, his actions spoke volumes, and the lessons he taught through his example will be remembered for generations.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Patty Pritt; his first child, Paula Darlene Pritt; his brothers, Everette, Dennis, Jimmy, and Billy Pritt; and his sister, Helen Louise Pritt.

Those left to cherish his memory are his son, Paul "Boo" Wayne Pritt II; his daughters, Loretta Wine and Kathy Jenkins; his grandchildren, Keisha (Dwight) Bullough, Jonathan Wine, Shawnna Pritt, Rachelle Pritt, LaDonna (Eli) Gunnoe, Kayla Pritt (Kenny), Dakota Hall, Brian Hall, and Everette Hall; and his treasured great-grandchildren, Ma'Kinna, Laikyn, Willow, Anna Katherine, Wayne, Rorie, River, Rayland, and Kimiko, brother, Donald (Rose) Pritt; sisters, Mary Wine and Carol (Mike) Sumpter. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, extended family members, neighbors, and friends who will forever hold him in their hearts.

Bucky will be remembered as a hardworking coal miner, a proud veteran, an outdoorsman, and a devoted family man. His greatest legacy is the family he loved so dearly and the memories they will continue to share. While his presence will be deeply missed, his love, strength, and gentle spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at Stockert Funeral Home, 378 Flatwoods Corner Road, Flatwoods, WV. Funeral services will begin at 1:00 p.m., with burial to follow at Odd Fellows Cemetery in Burnsville, WV. Pastor Delmas Singleton will officiate the service.

Bucky's memory will be treasured always, and his life celebrated by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
