Ileda "June" Staples

 

Ileda “June” Staples, 89, of Willis, surrounded by her adoring family, joined her beloved husband, Jay Staples in her long-awaited home with her Lord and Savior on August 15, 2026. June was preceded in death by her parents, Jabe and Clara Hylton Turman; as well as six brothers and two sisters.

June is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Terry and Renee Staples; daughter and son-in-law, Teressa and Skip Morgan; brother and sister-in-law, JD and Elsie Turman; grandchildren, Heather (Randy) Turman, Joshua Bond, Jesse Turman, Cody (Amanda)Turman, Travis Staples, and Kristy Staples Lemons; great-grandchildren, Arianna (Justin Kemp) Turman, Brandi (Dustin) Huff, Caleb, Dalanie, Elijah, Faiden, Gemah, Halona, Israel, Josiah, Kamiah and Lariah Turman, Hailey and Takoda Staples, Brantley and Colton Lemons and Ava Hungate, Jonah Bond, Maci, Ravin and Lydia Turman; great-great grandchildren, McKijah, Daustin and Jettison Kemp, Renley, Emryn and Reigner Huff and Shelby Staples; and adopted family, Christie Falzone, Cynthia Turman, Melissa Bailey, Lillie Barrett, Brandon Hungate.

Over seventy years ago June pledged her love and devotion to her husband and only sparing partner, Jay. They built a life together with the utmost respect and support for the others’ interests, differences and passions. Years passed and children and grandchildren filled her heart and lap. It’s challenging to find a picture without one or more of her grandbabies gathered around her. After a day’s work she would faithfully make her rounds to see and hold her grandchildren.

Our family is overwhelmingly blessed to have a Matriarch with such a gentle spirit, endless compassion and unwavering selflessness. Her faithfulness to her family, friends and community was a beautiful example to all who were honored to call her Mama, Grandma, Sister or Friend.

June was a faithful member of Shady Grove Church where she served her Savior by gladly taking many who needed a ride to church and joyfully worshiped in the choir. Church is where she knew those she loved could find hope and peace through Jesus. Years working in sewing factories prepared her to share the love of Christ beyond her small but cherished community. Through her skill as a seamstress she provided over 11,000 dresses to little girls in Haiti praying they would know someone cared for them but more importantly they were loved by their Creator.

June sacrificially loved and valued her family, friends and all people, even the prickly ones, above herself and material possessions. Her greatest joy was to give and the only thing she ever asked from another was a hug. Grandma’s strength and grace was sewn into her every word as she gently prompted us all to be kind and keep the peace as she saw few situations were ever resolved with a fight.

A graveside service will be held at Noon on Friday, August 21, 2026 in the Turman-Cruise Cemetery, Dugspur with Pastor Randy Sutphin officiating. The family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. until 11 a.m. on Friday, August 21, 2026 at Maberry Funeral Home Chapel.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all who cared for Grandma through the tough times. Dr. Jared March, Dr. Jason Foerst, Dr. Jonathan Massaro, Carmen Salmon PA, Carilion Home Care and Hospice, with a special thanks to Lorraine, Kalayna, Samantha, Stefani, Diedra, Lindsay and Matt.

Clarence E. "Bill" Thomas

Clarence E. "Bill" Thomas, 96, of Floyd, VA departed from his earthly life on Saturday, August 8, 2026. He is preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Macie Thomas; brothers, Laurel and Cletus Thomas; along with several brothers and sisters-in-law.

After his service in the United States Army as a member of the C Battalion 19, he attended Jefferson High School's adult vocational program on the GI Bill for bricklaying. He initially began work as an apprentice, but then quickly gained the status of journeyman and worked as a self-employed contractor.

When Bill wasn't working, he loved camping, farming, and yard work, mowing his grass faithfully through the age of 95 ensuring that things were kept in pristine conditions. In his younger days he loved to travel whether it be through camping, cruising, or bus tours. His true passion in life was dancing and listening to music.

Bill and his wife, Marie V. Thomas, celebrated 71 wonderful years together. When they weren't traveling, their marriage was filled with their love for dancing. Together they competed in multiple Arthur Murray Competitions winning several medals including Gold in Foxtrot and Swing. Bill was a faithful Friday Night Jamboree participant up until he was no longer able to attend; however, his love of music continued on and this was clearly evident to anyone who ever visited him, because if he wasn't watching NASCAR or the news, he always had a music station playing as loud as possible, truly loving the idea of feeling the music, not just listening to it.

Aside from his wife, Bill is survived by his son & daughter-in-law, Stephen and Beth Thomas; granddaughter, Katie Thomas (Jason Stump); two sisters, Claudine Sowers and Barbara Vest (Sheldon); several brothers- and sisters-in-law; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, August 14, 2026 in the Maberry Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Jerry Hylton officiating.
