"Eltrue Blevins, born in Panther, West Virginia on October 1, 1927, to Sarah Margaret (Bryant) and Kelly Blevins. Early on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, Our Lord, and Father reached out his hand to lead his child, Eltrue, home. No more pain. No more suffering. Only peace with our Lord. Music, oh how he loved music, he was always either playing his guitar or banjo. All music, bluegrass, country, or gospel, as long as it was foot stomping and tugged at your heartstrings. He was a band member of the “Sons of West Virginia” along with his good friend Lyle Collins."His favorite meal of pinto beans, fresh spring onions with sweet cornbread and chicken livers with a nice cold glass of buttermilk always put a smile on his face. But don’t forget his chocolate chip cookies.
Eltrue was indeed a country boy, born and raised in West Virginia. His heart was deep in his beautiful mountain heritage. Growing up here he learned hands on a deep love for the land of his fathers...beautiful West Virginia. He served his country in the army, and he fought in the Korean War. He did not talk often of those times. Those sad times always brought a tear to his eye. Returning home from the service he worked on the building and design of many homes and businesses in McDowell County including the Count Gilu Motel in Welch."The majority of his life (94 years) he spent right here in McDowell County. This final year he resided in McDowell Rehabilitation and Nursing Home. His family in Maryland was working on arrangements to have him moved closer to home so that they could spend more time together. We will always picture him walking in his tree lined mountains or up in one of the Hollers fishing. We love you Pop.
"In addition to his parents Sarah Margaret and Kelly Blevins. Eltrue is preceded in death by his sons, Larry Edward Blevins of Maryland, son David Blevins of Illinois. Eltrue’s sisters, Mary Blevins-Vanover, Martha Bella Blevins-Reed, Maxine Blevins-Mullins, Maggie Blevins-Reed and brother Andrew Blevins. Also, Mary Violet Vanover Tolley (mother of elder son Larry E. Blevins, Sr.)
"Survivors include his brother Matthew Blevins. Ex-Wife Armazella Mills-Blevins-Haggerman, Daughters Deborah Watts, Sonya Blevins Terry, Bridget Blevins, Daughter in law, Diane Blevins and a multitude of grandchildren and great grands, cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and loved ones.
Zachary Smallwood, great-grandson of Eltrue had been working with him on the family history. While we wish we had an endless amount of time to relive all of his memories with him, we now rely on family and friends to share those memories with us. Please send any stories or pictures to Zachary at this email address: BlevinsFamily930@gmail.com. We would love to continue these memories in his honor."The Fanning Funeral Home of Welch is assisting with arrangements and handling the cremation services. They have been a great support to the family. You are greatly appreciated. A Family Memorial service will be held at a later date at the Beacon Baptist Church in White Marsh, Maryland. Eltrue wished to be laid to rest with his eldest son in the Gardens of Faith Cemetery in Rosedale, Md. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.fanningfuneralhomes.com."
