BILLY GENE FACEMIRE SR.
As
of Sunday, January 12, 2020, there is a new, joyful, and
blessed voice added to the heavenly hosts now singing the praises of our Lord
as our dear dad, PaPa, Christian brother, neighbor, and friend. BILLY GENE
FACEMIRE SR., of Dille, has gone home. Bill was 92 years old.
He was born at #10 Nicholas Street in Widen, W.Va., to Lanty Facemire and Lucy
Butcher Facemire.
Preceding him in death was his one and only sweetheart from the first moment
they met and continued for 69 wonderful years, Wanda Brown Facemire: sisters,
Vada Lykins, Athelene Ashley, and Charlotte Facemire, and one brother, Foster
Facemire.
Bill is survived by daughters Joyce Griffith (TG) of Dille, Debbie Browning
(Charley) of Summersville, and Vicki Griffith of Belle; sons, Billy Gene
Facemire (Pam) of Birch River and Frankie Facemire (Valerie), also of Dille;
one sister, Carlene Triplett (Jack) of Adairsville Ga., and one brother, Delano
Facemire (Martha) of Summersville; grandchildren, Leanne (Matt) Deitz of
Staunton Va., Andrea Griffith (Larry Gale) of Allison Park, Pa., Amanda
Griffith (Mike Penix) of Morgantown, Corey Browning (Lindsay) of Summersville,
Logan Browning (Heather) of Bluefield, Matthew Griffith (April) of Sissonville,
Jonathan Griffith (Callie) of Charleston, Farrah Crane of Eleanor, Frankie Dale
Facemire (Desi) of Dille, and Chris Stockwell of Summersville; 17 great -
grandchildren; one great - great - granddaughter; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Bill was a graduate of Widen High School and attended Glenville State College.
He was a brakeman and a mainline motor operator for Elk River Coal and Lumber
Company of Widen for 17 years and then later for Majestic Mining, near Widen.
He once ran as a candidate for the W.Va. House of Delegates. He was a member of
the UMWA. He sold insurance for People's Life for approximately 15 years,
covering parts of Nicholas, Clay, Braxton, and Webster Counties enabling him to
befriend thousands of folks (he could remember them all).
Bill and his brother, Delano, along with Paul Buck, Drexel Taylor, and Bill
Walker, formed Pilots Quartet, which began their gospel music ministry in 1966,
and traveled extensively to churches large and small, urban and rural, throughout
W.Va. and neighboring states. They later added Jack Coffman as a member. The
Pilots curtailed their singing around 1982, but still gathered folks together
for a number of Pilots' reunions in later years. Later, Bill formed Family
Ties, a gospel trio with Debbie Browning, and Sandy Justus. Logan Browning was
later added to form a quartet. Family Ties sang a cappella for many years then
Trish Friend was added as piano accompaniment. They continued to minster in
song and testimony for a number of years.
Bill was a very active and integral member of the Big Union Baptist Church for
most of his life, serving as youth leader, Sunday School teacher, Sunday School
superintendent, trustee, and member of the choir. He was also a 33rd degree
member of the Strange Creek and later, Summersville Masonic Lodge.
One of Bill's most ardent passions was fishing. From mountain trout streams to
W.Va. lakes and rivers, Bill fished them all. His most adventurous expeditions
were his annual treks to the remote lakes in Canada's Quebec Province.
Beginning in 1975 with Ralph, Terry, and Jerry Legg, Bill ventured into Canada
and in the years that followed, dozens of family members, relatives, and
acquaintances would accompany him on his annual trips. He was particularly
noted for his folksy, down home colloquialisms, some of which made no sense but
added greatly to the conversation, and some that were actually very poignant.
Bill was devoted to his family and held so precious, the gathering together of
them on many occasions. The party was never over until he took the opportunity
to "sing one before we leave."
He touched so many lives and was an inspiration to so many. He will be sadly
missed but his spirit and love will remain within the hearts of all those
innumerable souls who had the privilege to know him.
Funeral services will be conducted 1 p.m. Friday, January 17, in the Big Union
Baptist Church at Dille, with Pastor Kenneth Adkins officiating. Burial with
Masonic Rites will follow in the Walker Cemetery at Keener's Ridge.
Friends may call at the Waters Funeral Chapel in Summersville, W.Va., from 6 to
8 p.m. Thursday evening.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Big Union Baptist Church.
