"WALKERTOWN - Crystal Justice Redding, 51 of Walkertown, NC, went to be with the Lord on November 29, 2010 after a courageous battle with cancer. Crystal was born on June 17, 1959 in Welch, West Virginia. After graduating from Baileysville High School, she continued her education at West Virginia Tech to become an RN. Since that time, Crystal has received several other degrees including a master's degree in health administration that she was most proud of. Crystal was currently employed as the Director of Case Management at Forsyth Medical Center and handled case management for several Novant hospitals. She and her mother attend Welcome Door Baptist Church. She took pride in accurately being called a maverick; an unbranded calf that bolted the group and initiated an independent course for the good of her work and people. Crystal's stubborn rebelliousness was refreshing and a pure delight. She never receded from any declaration in her mind and with an odd twist, made it "Crystal Clear" the way to achieve excellence. Crystal was preceded in death by her husband Ricky Redding. She was also preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Jay and Helen Morgan, her maternal great-grandparents, Eli and Ollie Mullins, as well as her paternal grandmother, Nettie Roberts Justice. She was survived by her parents, Peggy Justice also of Walkertown and Jerry Justice of Ripley, WV. She was also survived by her brother and his wife, Jay and Wendy Justice of Avondale, WV. She had several nieces and nephews including Whitney Justice of Avondale, WV, Courtney and husband, Chris Riffe of Iaeger, WV, and Cole and Cody Redding both of Walkertown, NC, and a beloved sidekick, Wolfy. She is also survived by a host of very special friends too innumerable to list that were family to Crystal. Friends can visit with the family on Thursday, December 2nd from 5-9pm at Crystal's home in Walkertown, NC. Service will be held at Iaeger Memorial Cemetery in Roderfield, WV where she will rest next to her beloved grandpa. Service will be at 2pm on Saturday, December 4th with Rev. Chris Riffe officiating. ..."

"Peggy Sue Morgan Justice. 80, of Iaeger, WV went to be with the Lord after a short illness at Raleigh General Hospital on Friday, April 15, 2022.

"Peggy was the daughter of the late Jay and Helen Morgan. She was a homemaker and owner of "Peggy's Slender You." Before her retirement, she held a variety of jobs in retail, including manager at Servco in Kernersville, NC. She was a hard worker and had the ability to make people laugh with her boldness. she loved shopping, warm weather, spending time with family and friends, getting her nails done, and giving good advice. Peggy was of the Baptist Faith.

"In addition to her parents, Peggy was preceded in death by her daughter, Crystal Justice Redding; maternal grandparents, Eli and Ollie Mullin sand paternal grandparents, Ken and Lizzy Morgan. She was also preceded in death by half siblings, Josephine Trail, Bernice Long, and JC Morgan; as well as a host of aunts and uncles including Willa Trail, whom she adored; and a special cousin Bernice Justice.

"Those left to cherish her memories are one son, Jay (Wendy) Justice of Garland; two granddaughters, Cortney (Chris) Riffe and Whitney (Jeremy) Waldron both of Iaeger; three great-grandchildren, Grayson Riffe, Jackson Riffe, and Ashton Waldron all of Iaeger with her first great-granddaughter on the way of whom she referred to as "Sue-Sue"; one half -brother, Frank Morgan of Georgia; and a host of nieces, nephews, and special friends who will never forget her.

"Anyone who knew Peggy knew her attention to details. She of course had her final wishes written down for the family to follow. Per her request, her body has been cremated and there will be no funeral home service. She wanted everyone to remember the good memories instead of her final days.
A graveside committal with Reverend Clyde Endicott and Chris Riffe officiating will be held at a later date."
