"On Wednesday, February 9, 2022 Mrs. Valarie Regina Easley age 71, a long time resident of Northfork, WV gained her wings as she peacefully departed this life at the Cabell-Huntington Hospital in Huntington, WV. She was born in Welch, WV on November 7, 1950 and the daughter of the late Bill and Virginia (Scruggs) Mitchell. She was educated in the McDowell County Public School System. She was a homemaker and loved caring for her family. It was her joy to cook and do laundry. She enjoyed shopping and watching television especially the reality shows. Valarie will be remembered for her pleasant spirit, meeting others always with a smile as she never met a stranger. She had a willingness to help anyone in anyway, it didn't matter how large or small. Valarie's "catch phrase," was "What You Mean"? In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one daughter, Priscilla Easley, one brother, LeRoy James Scruggs and her long time companion, Tommy Bigelow. Mrs. Valarie Regina Easley leaves life long, cherished memories to her children: Eugene T. Easley Jr. of Bluefield, WV, Denise R. Easley of Kimball, WV and Casaunder M. (James) Jackson of Cleveland, OH; a stepdaughter, Pam Bigelow of Bluefield, WV; her brothers, Jody (Celeste) Mitchell of Bluefield, WV and Jamie Mitchell of Concord, NC; her sisters: Arnetta Mitchell of Keystone, WV, Carolyn Mitchell of Bluefield, WV, the Fathers of her children, Eugene Easley Sr. and Lysander Elliott; her grandchildren: Destiny, Keisha, De'Shawn, De'Andre, Darion, Jayme & Jahmia; great-grandchildren: Skylan and Kane Easley.
