ObituaryRollie Herbert Erwin
ROLLIE HERBERT ERWIN, 68, of
Barboursville, without notice, went home to be with Jesus on Saturday, April
21, 2018, at his home in Barboursville. Rollie was born in Hamlin, W.Va., to
Rollie Herbert Erwin Sr. and Georgia Allen (Wooten) on November 26, 1949. He
attended Barboursville High School (Class of 1967) then was drafted and
served in the
Army, based in Korea, before attending Marshall University. He then
began a career that included many years at United Parcel Service before
opening a business. He was best known as owner/operator of S&J Market on
Martha Road in Barboursville. Rollie was, quite simply, loved by all and was
often referred to as "The Mayor of Martha." His purchase and successful
operation of S&J Market brought much needed service to local residents as
well as a "home base" for the community. His friendly welcome and quick wit
welcomed customers for 27 years at the store. Rollie was a very avid golfer.
His lifelong passion for golf began as a young man working as a caddy at
Guyan Golf & Country Club and never wavered. He had many memorable golf
trips with family and friends and was a member of Guyan Golf & Country Club
for nearly 18 years. Rollie is preceded in death by his wife of 21 years,
Veronica (Ronnie) Walsh Erwin, his parents, Rollie and Georgia Erwin, and
siblings, Eugene, Donald and Robert Erwin and Charlene Clagg (Burman).
Rollie is survived by his beloved wife, Hope Stevens, son, Sean P. Erwin of
Pittsburgh, Pa., daughter, Jennifer and husband Ryan Hazen of Anchorage,
Alaska, stepson, Ara Stevens, as well as his beloved grandchildren, Kara,
Elijah, Jackson, Barrett, Ellison and Emory. Surviving siblings include
Juanita Stanley, Martha Blake and Sarah (Darrell) Meadows. Rollie has left
his indelible mark on the world in many ways. First are the many family
members he loved and cared for so well, next the countless friends and
neighbors, co-workers and golf buddies that enjoyed his refreshing
authenticity. A light has gone from the Barboursville community, but we
remain thankful for having the privilege of knowing The Mayor, Rollie Erwin.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to Chuck Zerkle and Karen
Riggio for their support. Friends and family are invited to the
Visitation to be held at
