Terrie Grimmett, 69, of White Sulphur Springs, WV (formerly of Rainelle) went to her heavenly home on January 24, 2025. Although her presence here will be profoundly missed, Terrie's loved ones celebrate her glorious reunion with her mother Dorothy, mother-in-love Camilla, infant sister Donna, and all other dear loved ones who met her at the pearly gates.

Terrie was the daughter of Glen and the late Dorothy Hunter of Crawley, WV, and a graduate of the Greenbrier West High School Class of 1973. She had a servant's heart and a deep love for children. In 2017, she retired from Greenbrier County Schools after working for many years as a school secretary. She faithfully attended Sewell Valley Baptist Church for over 40 years, during which time she served as a Sunday school teacher, nursery worker, and choir member. Most recently, she attended Grace Baptist Church in White Sulphur Springs.

To know Terrie was to know goodness embodied. She was kind to everyone, her laughter was infectious, and her faith was unwavering. Terrie poured all her love and energy into serving her family. She enjoyed camping with friends, winning games of Rook with her best friend Cheryl Altizer, daily after-dinner walks with her sister-in-love Gina Grimmett (although her favorite cardio was shopping), and she never met a dessert she didn't like. Her proudest accomplishment was raising her two daughters and being promoted to MeMe.

A faithful wife, devoted mother, and adoring MeMe, Terrie leaves behind her husband of 47 years, Barry, who honored his "in sickness and in health" vow until death they did part; two daughters, Stephanie (Jared) Worley of Bluffton, SC, and Brittany (Jeremy) Radford of White Sulphur Springs, WV; and five grandchildren, Charlee and Cash Worley and Kendal, Kadence, and Paxton Radford. She is also survived by her father Glen Hunter; two brothers, Michael and David; and two sisters, Teresa Shuck and Tonia Hunter.

In the final weeks of her life, Terrie received exceptional care from her hospice team. The family would like to thank nurse Sheila for her weeks of in-home care as well as Peyton Hospice House nurse Kim and CNA Morgan for the compassion shown during Terrie's passing. In lieu of flowers, please consider honoring Terrie's memory with a donation to Peyton Hospice House,1265 Maplewood Ave, Lewisburg, WV 24901.

A service officiated by Pastor and brother-in-love Youel Altizer will be held at Sewell Valley Baptist Church at 2:00 pm on Saturday, February 1, 2025, with visitation prior beginning at noon. Please join Terrie's family and friends in celebrating a life well lived. 
Hunter, Terrie Faye (I7011)

Rose Juanita Ruth Meadows
Feb. 5, 1927 - Jan. 6, 2014

With great anticipation, Rose Juanita Ruth Meadows, 86, of Meadow Bridge, went to be with her heavenly Father early Monday morning, January 6, 2014 at the home of her daughter.

Born February 5, 1927 at Mabscot, she was the eldest and the last surviving child of the late John and Gertrude Snodderly Ruth.

In addition to her parents, Juanita is also preceded in death by three brothers: Dennis, James Vernon and Carl Ruth and one sister, Mary Gladys Lewis.

Juanita's happiness was rooted in her security and trust in her Lord and in the love of her life for 65 years, the late John Edward Meadows with whom she's been reunited. Throughout their life together, she showed contentment in unique circumstances that many did not understand. She was a true witness for her Savior and made a friend wherever she was. However, during the past 15 months of her life without John, her contentment changed to a longing. Now, she's finally where she longed to be – She's home! The Psalmist David said, "in thy presence is fullness of joy; at they right hand there are pleasures for evermore."

She and John now await the arrival of their children: Dennis and wife Elaine of Springdale and Donna O'Dell and husband Gary of Clintonville; her grandchildren: Stephania Meadows and husband Chip of Springdale, Garrett O'Dell and wife Karen of Clintonville, Matthew O'Dell and wife Kimberly of Rupert and Kimberly Fleshman and husband Kerry of Springdale; her great-grandchildren: Kyle, Levi, Elaina, Marshall, Meredith and Kristyn and husband Chris of Jumping Branch and one great-great-grandchild , Christopher Asher.

Juanita's life will be remembered Friday, January 10, at 1:00 p.m. in the Sewell Valley Baptist Church where she was a member for over 40 years. She will be laid to rest in the church cemetery.

Friends and family will gather on Thursday, January 9, from 6 – 8 p.m. at the church.

Donations of remembrance can be made to Rainelle Christian Academy at P.O. Box 784, Rainelle, WV 25962.
