Lisa Lynn Justice

1. Fanning Funral Home; Iaeger, WV; Psted Obit.
"Lisa Lynn Auville, 57, of Iaeger, WV, passed away November 22, 2024.

"Lisa was born January 16, 1967 in Chicago, IL, a daughter of the late Kenis and Rosa “Nellie” Steele Justice. Lisa loved her family very much and her favorite verse of the Bible was 2 Corinthians 4:7 KJV. “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be God, and not of us.”

"In addition to her parents, Kenis and Rosa Justice, Lisa was preceded in death by two husbands, Richard Auville and Thurman Mullins; a sister, Diane Bailey; nephews, Michael Bailey, Corey Bailey and Andrew Justice; and nieces Dedra and Lisa Marie Anderson.

"Left behind to remember and cherish her memory are her daughter, Rebecca Lynn Vanover (Joe Edwards) and her grandson, Elijah who was the “Apple of her eye”; brothers, Eddie (Valorie) Justice, Andy (Rita) Justice; sisters, Deborah (Dave) Justice, Roberta (Glenn) Anderson, Michelle (Anthony Stewart) and her special nephew Steven (Tasha) Bailey that was the same as her son; numerous nieces and nephews, too many to name but she loved each and every one.

"Lisa was a beautiful person inside and out and generous to a fault.

"Lisa’s body has been cremated and there will be no services.

"Fanning Funeral Home in Iaeger is assisting the family.
