"Survivors include: Her mother, Virginia Rowe of Princeton, WV. Daughter, Jennifer Rowe of the home. Two sons, Jackie Clemons and wife Allishia of Cheesy

Brothers: Jerry and Rosie Rowe of Ingleside, Randall and Angie Rowe of Princeton, Ralph Rowe of Princeton, Joey and Teresa Rowe also of Princeton as well as numerous extended family members and friends."Services will be held Saturday, September 19, 2020 at The House of Prayer Church in Bramwell, WV with Evangelist Donald Harding and Pastor Joey Rowe
officiating at 2: PM. Burial will follow at Coaldale Cemetery, Coaldale, WV. The family will receive visitors from 11: AM until the hour of service. Pallbearers will be family and friends. Assisting the Clemons family is Widener Funeral Home. Northfork, WV."
