Joyce Ferro
(June 14, 1930 - January 14, 2020)
David R. Ferro, Sr. and Joyce L. Ferro.
Both David and Joyce were together holding hands in the Hospice House as
they passed through the gate of Heaven. David first followed by Joyce three
days later. This was truly God’s plan all along after being married 73 years
and falling in love at the ages of 12 and 13. Graveside funeral rites will
be held on Friday, January 17, 2020 at 1:00pm at High Lawn Memorial Park,
Oak Hill W.Va. Celebration of Life service will be held on January 26, 2020
at 3:00pm at the Westmoreland United Methodist Church, with Pastor Kara
Phillippi officiating; the family will receive friends from 2:00 pm until
service time. David was an auto and big truck mechanic and Joyce was a
homemaker. David, Joyce, Davey and Donna were baptized as a family sixty
years ago at the Westmoreland United Methodist Church. Their devotion to
church and family through many activities and regular attendance touched
many lives. Their immediate family included a total of fifteen brothers and
sisters who grew up on adjoining farms in the hills of Oak Hill, W.Va.

David Ferro, Jr. (Joyce), grandsons, Jeremy Garrett (Sara), Ryan Garrett and
