"THELMA SHELTON SIZEMORE MARCUS
On Sunday, June 23. 2013, Thelma Shelton Sizemore
Marcus was called home to her Lord after a two
month illness.
"Born on February 20, 1925 in Davy, WV, Thelma lived
most of her life in McDowell County and spent the last
fifty five years in Coalwood. A devoted mother, sister,
daughter, grandmother, wife and friend. Thelma spent
her early adulthood working in the Radford, VA
Ammunitions Factory during WWII and later at the
Sterling Diner. After marrying and having her children
Thelma became a homemaker and cared for her
family. After her children were grown she re-entered
the workforce as a private home care worker, caring
for many elderly in the community. A West Virginia
woman to the last, Thelma embodied the
characteristics of hard work, loyalty, perseverance,
and plain speech. She will be sorely missed by all her
knew her.
"She is survived by her two daughters, Elizabeth S.
O'Finan of Charleston, WV, and Donna Marcus
Johnson, wife of Lowell Johnson, of Welch, WV. She
is also survived by her four grandchildren, Major
David McDarmont, Ohio National Guard and his wife
Megan of Columbus, OH; Mrs. Jennifer Bokal, and
her husband John, of Endwell, NY; Mr. Jason Boone
of Welch, WV, and Mrs. Erica Bailey, and her
husband Eddie, of Beckley, WV. Thelma is also
survived by seven great-grandchildren, Nicholas
McDarmont, Noah McDarmont, Libby Bokal, Brooke
Bokal, Sydney Bokal, Landon Boone, and Aubree
Bailey. She is also survived by four sisters, one
brother, and several nieces and nephews.
"Thelma was greeted in heaven by many loved ones
who passed on before her. Most especially her
children Linda Sizemore and Michael Marcus. Her
husbands, Lindsey Sizemore and Carroll Marcus; her
parents James and Bessie Fanning Shelton; and
three sisters and two brothers; and her extended
special family at Welch Community Hospital, who
gave her special care and attention in her final days.
"Funeral service will conducted Tuesday, June 25,
2013 at 2 P.M. from the Fanning Funeral Home
Chapel in Welch with Reverend Brenda Hall
officiating. Burial will follow at the Iaeger Memorial
