In Loving Memory of James Edward “Jimmy” Neace

May 22, 1948 – October 23, 2026

James Edward Neace, lovingly known as “Jimmy,” passed away on October 23, 2026, leaving behind a family who will forever cherish his memory and the love he brought into their lives.

Jimmy was a loving, kind soul who had a special way of bringing happiness to those around him. He loved being surrounded by his family and especially enjoyed making them laugh. Seeing others happy brought joy to his own heart, and he always wanted the people around him to feel loved. His gentle spirit and the happiness he shared with others made him a special part of the lives of so many.

Jimmy found his greatest joys in the simple things in life. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, and extended family. Whether gathering with loved ones or enjoying the outdoors, these were the moments that meant the most to him. His family was a tremendous part of his life, and the time he spent with them created memories that will be treasured forever.

He leaves behind his beloved daughters, Taunya (Scotty) Hager and Michele (Chris) Conley; his cherished grandchildren, Zac (Amelia) Conley, Dustin Doss, Nicholas McNeely, Kaleb McNeely, Cameron Hager, and Austin Nicholas; and his precious great-grandchildren, Jaclyn Conley, Miley Jeffery, Annah Farley, Weston Sparks, Jaylee Jeffery, Everly McNeely, and Maia Justice.

He is also survived by his beloved siblings, Steven (Nettie) Neace, Wayne Neace, Daniel Joel Neace, Sr., Angie (Randy) Hellyer, Diana Adams, Naomi (Marshall) Pennington, and Rhonda Adkins, along with his many adored nieces and nephews and extended family members who will continue to hold him close in their hearts.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his lifelong companion, Dolly Mae Chapman; his parents, James and Charlotte McDowell Neace; and his siblings, Edee Justice, Donny Ray Neace, and Robert Dale Neace.

Though Jimmy's passing leaves a space that can never truly be filled, the love he gave, the laughter he shared, and the memories he created will live on through the family and friends who were fortunate enough to know him. His life reminds us that the greatest blessings are often found in life's simplest moments, time spent together, and in the love of family.
Jimmy will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever held in the hearts of those who loved him. Though he may no longer be here to make those around him laugh, the smiles he brought to so many faces will never be forgotten. His legacy of kindness, love, and joy will live on through his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and all those whose lives he touched.

A visitation will be held from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Friday, October 30, 2026, at Collins Funeral Home Chapel.

In honoring his wishes, he will be cremated after the service.

The family respectfully requests that, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to Collins Funeral Home to assist with funeral expenses.

Leona Mae Chafin

“Strength and honour are her clothing; And she shall rejoice in time to come. She opened her mouth with wisdom; And in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up and call her blessed…. Proverbs 31:25-28.

Leona Mae Chafin, 87, formerly of Cow Creek, left this world and graduated into the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Monday, October 19, 2026, surrounded by her loving children and granddaughter, Carlee. Born to Herman Clifford and Lora Leona Hughes on December 12, 1938, in Draffin, Pike County, Kentucky, Leona will always be remembered for her warmth, quiet strength, grace and unending devotion to her family. Her beautiful smile and infectious laughter truly lit up a room, only surpassed by her indelible gentle, kind and loving nature that came to be quickly known by all who met her. In difficult times, family and friends sought her out for kindly advice or comforting words. Somehow, she always seemed to say just the right words to bring comfort, and complemented by her big hug, she made all things right with the world at that moment.

Leona loved a good front porch—a place where memories are made. How often the family recalls the memories of her singing hymns on the front porch with her Uncle Jonah when he visited, or offering Uncle Ronald coffee and dessert while they caught up on life’s circumstances. Many a green bean were strung on that porch with her niece, Debra Meadows, who stopped by to see if she needed anything. Leona knew she was blessed. So many made regular visits to that porch—niece Julie Propst and cousin Debra Jeffers—routinely stopping by to sit for a while, laugh and share past good times and memories before offering to help her in any way they could. She was blessed and she was loved.

A woman of many talents, Leona was an accomplished seamstress sewing tailored suits for homecoming royalty and gowns for high school proms, enjoyed the homemaking arts—cooking, baking, canning, quilting, etc., was always up for a good puzzle, loved birdwatching, especially hummingbirds, and spending hours outside growing vegetables and beautifully brilliant, colorful flower beds that delighted many, often sharing her knowledge and expertise as well as new starts of her established plants, along with whatever supplies were needed to get the recipient off to a successful start and help nurture their interest in growing things.

Everyone was welcome in her home and around her table. Her generosity was often shown through her hospitality. Her caring and love for her community were most eloquently expressed through cooking for and with others. It was not unusual to come home to find one of her children’s friends sitting at the kitchen table with her, having a bite to eat, and seeking her counsel or advice. She loved large family gatherings and reunions with extended family and friends and was often called upon to provide a huge kettle of her delicious chicken and dumplings or her often-requested macaroni salad. At these gatherings, she delighted in catching up with attendees, especially with those from out of town, and all others who attended. Kindness, compassion, unwavering love and support of others, especially those who were hungry, stressed or facing adversity, neglected or lonely due to the loss of a loved one, were hallmarks of her personality. She quietly prepared food and delivered it or invited them into her home, providing not only food but also conversation and a kind, respectful word, never with fanfare or bringing attention to their circumstances, only offering comfort, a listening ear, friendship and a plate of leftovers to take with them as they went.

Leona retired from work that she enjoyed for many years as a property appraiser in the Logan County Assessor’s Office and often spoke highly of her co-workers (Dwight, Christine, Janet, Lisa, Bernice, Bonnie and Shirley) through the years. She had many good memories she shared with that team and she remembered them fondly.

Leona was a woman of strong faith whose life was her testimony. Even when her dementia robbed her of remembering her children’s names and their relationship to her, she never forgot her Lord and Savior. Her daughter would overhear Leona at night as she lay in the dark singing hymns she had sung for many years, never missing a word, or would pray softly talking to the Lord one-on-one about the trials she was going through and asking for his continued help and protection. This brought great comfort and soothed her daughter as she reflected on the goodness of God, how God never leaves us and her mother was never alone. Leona was a Christian of the Old Regular Baptist faith.

Preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 61 years, Kenneth Kemper Chafin, Sr.; son, Minnis Kevin “Bo” Chafin; daughter, Lana Sue Chafin White; brothers, Richard Hughes and Clifford “Skip” Hughes; and sister, Shirley Ann Dotson, Leona is survived by her daughter with whom she made her home, Lora Chafin; son, Kenneth Kemper (Priscilla) Chafin, Jr.; daughter, Gina (Rob) Wiley; sisters, Linda Cates, Wanda (Johnny) Barboza, and Marilyn (James) Slone; grandchildren, Brandon Chafin, Michael Chafin, Amanda Chafin, Lucinda Elkins, Carlee White, Brittany Wiley, and Brian Cull; 9 great grandchildren, Leeland Chafin, Jamie Chafin, Emerson Martinez, Brock Baisden, Braxton Baisden, Bryson Baisden, Everlee Cull, Tucker Cull, Landyn Cull, and 1 great great grandchild, Issac Baisden, as well as a host of family and friends who knew and loved her.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude and love to Georgeanna Tucker whose kindness, compassion and support to not only Leona but also the entire family made her one of the family, and to the wonderful staff at Carolina Caring for their exceptional care shown to Leona during a most difficult time.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, October 26, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at the Collins Funeral Home in Switzer, West Virginia, with James Slone officiating. Friends may call on the family before the funeral between 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Burial will follow in Forest Lawn Cemetery at Pecks Mill, West Virginia.
Pallbearers will include: Brandon Chafin, Michael Chafin, Brock Baisden, Braxton Baisden, Bryson Baisden and Jesse Williams.

10/15/2026

Walter Carol “Bud” Sullins, 90, of Chauncey, West Virginia, departed his earthly life on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, in his home in Chauncey.

Walter was born on September 23, 1936, in Johnson City, TN. He spent his early childhood in Logan before moving to Raccoon Creek near Wayne County, West Virginia, where he spent his teenage and early adult years. Those years held a special place in Walter’s heart, providing him with a lifetime of treasured memories and stories he loved sharing with family and friends.

In 1954, Walter proudly answered the call to serve his country by joining the United States Army. He served with the 11th Airborne Division out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and was later stationed in Munich, Germany, where he continued his military service. Walter carried a deep sense of pride in having served his country, and his time in the Army remained one of the most meaningful chapters of his life. He never grew tired of reminiscing about his military days and sharing stories of the “good ol’ days.”Walter faithfully flew the American flag high above his home each day, a lasting symbol of his love, respect, and devotion to the country he was so proud to serve.

Following his military service, Walter returned to Logan , where he met the love of his life, Sarah Russell. They spent most of their years in their home in Chauncey, where they raised their two daughters, Lucy and Leah.

Walter was a man who found happiness in life’s simple pleasures. He loved fishing, camping, and working with his hands. There was hardly anything he wouldn’t try to fix, take apart, or tinker with, and he always seemed to find another project to keep himself busy. He also had a special love for music and could often be found playing his favorite songs over and over on whatever music player he could get his hands on. Those familiar tunes, much like the stories he loved to tell, became part of the memories his family will forever hold dear.

As the years passed, Walter was blessed with two of his most treasured titles: Granddad and, later, “Old Papaw.” His granddaughter and great-grandchildren brought a special kind of joy to his later years, filling his life with love, laughter, and precious moments that will remain part of his family’s story for generations to come.

Walter leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish his memory, including his devoted daughters, Lucy (Chuck) Vinson and Leah Sullins Kinzer; his beloved granddaughter, Brittany (Jacob) Long; and his precious great-grandchildren, Brody, Grayson, Carter, and Cannyn Rose Long. He also leaves behind a host of sister and brother in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends whose lives were touched by his presence.

Walter was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sarah Russell Sullins; his parents, Henderson Sullins and Lucy Barnett Sullins, his brothers, Bill Sullins and Larry Spriggs, and his sisters Joann Bezak and Norma Jean Mendel.

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance and celebration of Walter’s life on Friday, October 16, 2026, at Collins Funeral Home in Switzer, West Virginia. Visitation will be held from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., followed by a brief service. Burial will follow at the family cemetery in Chauncey, West Virginia, where Walter will be laid to rest beside his beloved wife, Sarah and his treasured mother.

Although our hearts are heavy and his absence will be deeply felt, we find comfort in our faith and in God’s promise that this earthly life is not the end. Walter’s journey here on earth has come to a close, but we hold tightly to the hope that he has been welcomed into the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.
