				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Jerry Edward McKeen, 84, of Lake Floyd, WV passed away peacefully on Saturday August 22, 2026. Jerry was born in Clarksburg, WV on October 22, 1941, to Samuel “Sam” Barnes McKeen and Mary Elizabeth (Martin) McKeen.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Nancy McIntyre and his son, Timothy Frederick McKeen. Jerry is survived by his wife of 60 years, Julie Lee (Goff) McKeen and four children; Jerry McKeen of Des Moines, IA; Colin (Kelly) McKeen of Corpus Christi, TX; Marianne (Donny) Hawkins of Stonewood, WV and Martin McKeen of Charleston, WV; his grandson, Sam; and many beloved cousins, nephews, nieces and friends across the country.

A graduate of Victory High School’s class of 1959, Jerry earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Fairmont State College and a master’s degree in education from Penn State University in 1968.

Shortly after completing his graduate studies, Jerry began a distinguished career in education in Harrison County, WV. He started as an English teacher at the former Victory High School in Adamston. He later became Assistant Principal at Liberty High School when it opened in 1971.

Following a brief tenure in the same position at Rosevelt-Wilson High School, he returned to Liberty as the Assistant Principal. He concluded his career as Principal of South Harrison High School, serving in that role until his retirement in 2004.

Beyond education, Jerry was a dedicated advocate for the performing arts, particularly community theater. While attending Fairmont State College, he performed with the Masquers and participated in the renowned Town and Gown Summer Theatre. He carried that passion throughout his professional life, directing community theater productions in Clarksburg, including The Fantasticks, The King and I, Guys and Dolls, and The Music Man, as well as numerous high school productions. Even in retirement, he continued sharing his love of theater and teaching with many others.

Jerry enjoyed cheering for West Virginia University football and basketball, especially when surrounded by family as they rooted together for Mountaineer victories. Beyond sports, he cared deeply about social justice causes that he believed would make the world a better and more equitable place. He was active in the Harrison County Democratic Party, contributing through administrative work, writing, advocacy, and participation in activities and demonstrations supporting issues about which he was passionate.

Above all else, Jerry treasured time spent with his family. He was a constant source of love, encouragement, and support for his wife, children, and grandson. Whether the focus was academics, athletics, clubs, community activities, personal interests, or simply spending a quiet day at Lake Floyd, Jerry remained a positive and reassuring presence, always helping others see the good that could come from any situation.

Jerry was also an avid reader, a lover of movies, crossword puzzles, and board games, and he had a special fondness for dogs, especially a beloved Labrador, Yogi.

Family and friends will call at the Amos Carvelli Funeral Home, 201 Edison Street, Nutter Fort, on Monday from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. A prayer service will be held at 7:30 p.m. to conclude the visitation.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Christine A. Pulice, 72, of Morgantown, passed away on August 18, 2026, at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital, following a brief illness.

She was born in Clarksburg on August 10, 1954, a daughter of the late Joe and Evelyn Fisher Pulice. She was preceded in death by her brother, Michael Pulice.

Surviving are her two sons, Michael Bland, Morgantown and J.J. Bland and his wife Terri of Bridgeport. She was known as grandma to her loving grandchildren, Drake and his wife Lydia, of Ohio, Eliah of Shinnston, Gabby of Fairmont and Avery of Morgantown. She was a great-grandma to Easton J. Douglas and Emmett Hayes Bland. Christine loved and adored her grandchildren; they held a special place in her heart.

Christine was a 1972 graduate of Victory High School and attended West Virginia Business College. She was employed by Harrison County Board of Education, Clarksburg and in Ohio with Springfield Academy and ACCEL schools in Columbus.
She enjoyed being around the students and meeting parents and other visitors to the schools. She considered her main "job" to be her sons: to be loving, protecting, and supportive in their many endeavors. Her sons were top priority when growing up and they are very dear to her.

In keeping with Christine's wishes, her request for cremation will be honored. There will be no funeral service held.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Naomi Jean “Jeanie” Hileman Barnes, 79, of Stonewood, WV, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at United Hospital Center, surrounded by her loving family.

She leaves behind a loving family, including her children: Robin McDonald and her husband Jesse of Clarksburg, Julie Stewart and her husband Jason of Sand Fork, and Perry Minigh and his wife Sharon of Jane Lew. Her memory lives on through her grandchildren—Cassandra Coe, Noah Lehosit, Jacob Stewart, Isaac Minigh, Elijah Minigh, and Hunter McDonald and his wife Samantha, Briana Lawson and her husband Josh, Gracie, Savory and Taylor; and great grandchildren, Tegan, Ila, Vivian, Braxton, Easton and Mack. She is also survived by her six siblings: Ruth Martin, Mary Morris and husband Jim, Aaron Hileman and wife Sheila, Kathy Jackson and husband Aaron, Debbie Adams and husband Dale, and Mark Hileman and wife Debbie; as well as many nieces, nephews, and her faithful K-9 sidekick, Diesel James.

In her free time, she enjoyed watching HGTV and relaxing with Hallmark Christmas movies. Remembered for her gentle, welcoming spirit and remarkable generosity, she had a special talent for giving gifts and filling the holidays with warmth. Above all, her greatest joy was caring for those around her and treasuring those she loved.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Patricia Sue "Patty" Gillespie reached her long-desired home in the early morning hours of August 6, 2026. Born on January 13, 1935, in Webster Springs, WV, Patty was the youngest child and only daughter of William Marston Gillespie and Rosalie Geneva Frazee Gillespie.  She graduated from Webster Springs High School and retired from United Hospital Center, though she was a homemaker at heart.

Patty planned to attend flight attendant ("stewardess" in her day) school, but instead, elected to marry the love of her young life, Jennings Dale Hamrick. Together, Patty and Jennings had "six kids in seven years": Connie Sue (Sherman Goodwin), Ronald Dale "Pete" (Vicki), Cynthia Ann, Karen "Diane" (Jeff Alastanos), Jennings Daniel “Danny" (Lori), and Peggy Louise (Marcus Williams). Patty and Jennings committed their lives to ministry with the greatest harvest of their planting being the salvation of their own children. Forever, we will hold dear memories of singing hymns in the evening hours while working together in our backyard garden.

When Patty was 34 years old, Jennings was tragically killed in a work-related accident. With five children ranging from 13 to 6 years of age, Patty had little time for grieving. One of her first big challenges was obtaining her driver's license. While she faced her fear and became a licensed driver, we will forever laugh while remembering our first trip to our grandparents' home with mom as driver. We were not allowed to speak or move (breathing was allowed out of necessity) on what should have only been a two-hour trip that stretched much longer.

On May 30, 1991, Patty married the wonderful Larry R. Gillespie and gained another daughter, Pamela Ann (Tommy Swiger). Patty and Larry created a wonderful life together in their Nutter Fort home. She loved their home and found contentment within its walls. We are so thankful God allowed her to take her last breath there before taking her first breath in the place that He had prepared for her.

We were blessed with a wonderful mother and are incredibly grateful for every moment with her. We especially thank God for these most recent months during which we shared so many laughs, tears, and unfiltered thoughts. In His loving grace, God gave us just what we needed to "loosen our grip" and simply walk her home. Her 6 children and their families, including 15 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren look forward to the day she welcomes us all to our new home in the presence of the One she encouraged us to love.

In addition to her first husband, parents, and stillborn daughter, Cynthia (whom Patty looked forward to seeing for the very first time in heaven), Patty was preceded in death by her brothers, William “Bill” and George and her beloved grandson, Dean Madison Stire.  We have no doubt that each of these were among those who greeted her when she reached her long-awaited home.

Family and friends may call at the Amos Carvelli Funeral Home, 201 Edison Street, Nutter Fort on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.  The service will be held at the conclusion of the visitation at 1:00 pm.  Interment will follow at Floral Hills Memorial Gardens.
