Samuel W. Facemire
Samuel Facemire, our most loving husband, daddy, brother, friend slipped from our arms into peace on January 1, 2008 at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, WV. He battled heart disease and diabetes, and while his spirit longed to keep fighting, his heart could give no more.
Sammy was born in Sutton, WV on March 26, 1952. He attended Sutton High School and was among the first graduating class of Braxton County High School in 1970. He was a proud alumnus of West Virginia University, graduating in 1975 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Studies Education.
A local businessman for over two decades, Sam, along with Gary Clifton, opened Clay Foodland in 1976. The business would soon grow into Facemire Foods and expand to stores in Grantsville, Glenville, Elk River and Cherry River during his 25 years with the company. He went on to own and operate the Flatwoods and Webster Springs Subway Restaurants.
A man of many gifts and talents, Sammy’s involvement in boy scouts as a youth contributed to his great love of the outdoors. An avid sportsman, Sammy’s biggest joy in life, outside of family and friends, was being in the woods or on the lake, enjoying and experiencing the beauty of Canada. He introduced many to his northern Paradise.
Sammy was a lifelong member of Christ Church United Methodist, in Sutton. His church family held a very special place in his heart. Helping out with Men’s Breakfast and writing letters to home-bound members of the church and local community were a large part of his personal ministry.
He was a member of the Flatwoods Lions Club, the Braxton County Gun Owner’s Association, the Mountaineer Athletic Club, and a proud, lifelong member of the Democratic Party.
He was preceded in death by his beloved brother Scottie, his father Osberne and mother Josephine, father-in-law Cecil Lough, sister-in-law Shirley Barnette and brother-in-law Phillip Teasley. He is survived by his devoted, adoring wife Alice Lough Facemire, son Andrew Facemire, student at West Virginia University, daughter Ranae Winemiller and son-in law Dennis of Shinnston, sister Susan Schiefer and husband J.B. Schiefer of Sutton, mother-in-law Oleta Lough of Gassaway, brother-in-law Fred Barnette of Herold, Junior Lough and wife Barbara of Sutton, sisters-in-law Helen Javis and husband Terry of Ireland, and Charlotte Teasley of Sestin, FL, niece Jennifer Schiefer of Charleston, many cousins and dear friends.
Words can never express what he meant to those he left behind.
Husband, daddy, brother, friend.
