Fouch, Tonda Fouch, nee Kinney

Fatal   shooting   Murder-suicide   likely   in 2   deaths

        Tom Folk and Tonda Fouch had split up, but Folk told his roommate that she was stopping by their Whitehall house to talk.

        The roommate, Kraig Blair, cleared out to give them time alone. Ninety minutes later, he returned home, to what police say was a murder-suicide.

        It was Blair who around 5 p.m. Monday called Whitehall police to the home that he and Folk shared in the 4400 block of St. Rita Lane.

        Folk, 54, and Fouch, 42, were found in Folk's bedroom. Both had been shot, and Folk still held the gun.

        Whitehall Sgt. John Grebb said Folk and Fouch had been in a relationship but had since separated. Folk called Fouch to the house on Monday in the hope that he could rekindle the relationship, Grebb said.

        In his call to 911, Blair said he and Folk's ex-wife had discovered the deaths after eventually looking into the bedroom.

        "My best friend just killed himself and his girlfriend, and they're laying on the bed, and we just found out by opening up the bedroom door and there they were," he said.

        Blair told the call-taker that he didn't realize Folk had a gun or was capable of shooting anyone. Court records reveal no domestic-violence complaints involving the couple.

        "Had he been depressed?" Blair told the call-taker. "Yeah, 'cause she left him. And then he said she was going to come back for a while today, and he wanted me to leave, you know, so that they could have some privacy."

        Blair said he left the house about 3:30 p.m.

        "When I came back, the door was shut."

Hoffman, Elizabeth Hoffman, nee Staley

        Elizabeth Staley Hoffman, 95, lifetime resident of New Cumberland, WV passed March 20 due to complications from pneumonia.

        Lib, as most knew her, enjoyed many things from crafts and baking to music and socializing. She enjoyed a good conversation and could and would talk with everyone! Her family, however, was her true love. In 1936, she married the late William Merle Hoffman, and they had 5 amazing children! Boasting of their accomplishments and encouraging them in their ventures was her favorite past time.

        Husband Merle, daughter, Sondra Marlene Price, son Richard Newell Hoffman and several brothers and sisters also preceded her in her journey.

        Missing her but sharing her memory are daughters, Carol Pellegrino (Anthony), Boynton Beach, FL., Merrill Balderson (Robert), Beverly, WV and Heidi Adkins (John), Chester, WV, son-in-law, Robert Price and daughter-in-law Debbie Hoffman of New Cumberland; grandchildren Kevin Pellegrino, Laura Becraft, Anthony Pellegrino, Jennifer Sanner, Beth Walsh, Katie Adkins, Maggie Wells, Emma Smith, 6 great-grandchildren; and a sister, Edna McKitrick, Weirton, WV.

        Lib was a member of the New Cumberland Christian Church where she could always be found involved with activities that included working with kids; teaching Sunday School, Bible School, Christian Endeavor or mentoring them in their projects as well as their shenanigans.

        In support of her kids she was a Cub Scout Den Mother, supporter of 4-H, projects in Hancock County Schools and an adult any kid could turn to for fun as well as direction.

        A former business owner in New Cumberland, she was the proprietress of the New Cumberland Dry Cleaners before moving from town to what she always called "the country".

        A member of the former Rebekah Lodge in New Cumberland, she served as Post Noble Grand, and she also enjoyed attending the Farm Woman's Club meetings in New Manchester.

        She opened her home to all children, and provided care for many. Lib also attended to various friends and neighbors who needed attention and companionship when homebound. She was a collector of many things and enjoyed the lost art of making soap which she generously shared with any looking for an old time beauty secret!

        Most recently she resided and was given amazing care at the Weirton Geriaric Center.

        As was her wish, her family will conduct a small private memorial to be followed by burial in the family cemetery on the hill. In lieu of flowers or memorial gifts, contributions in her honor can be made to the Richard Hoffman Music Endowment Fund, 314 Crescent Lane, New Cumberland, WV 26047. Arrangements were handled by the Nixon Funeral Home, New Cumberland, WV.

Crash on River Road kills Spotsylvania man

        A Spotsylvania County man was killed Tuesday after his pickup hit a tree, overturned and was struck by another vehicle.

        According to Virginia State Police Sgt. Les Tyler, the crash occurred at 5:46 p.m. on River Road near the intersection with Motts Run Road in Spotsylvania.

        An investigation by Trooper M.T. Conley revealed that a 2000 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck was traveling westbound on River Road when it ran off the right side of the road and struck an embankment and a tree, Tyler said. The vehicle then overturned into the roadway and slid over into the eastbound lane and was struck by a 1990 Chevrolet pickup truck.

        Tyler said the driver of the 2000 Chevy S-10, 24-year-old David Edwin Justis, died at the scene as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. He was wearing a seat belt.

        The driver of the 1990 Chevy pickup truck and a passenger were not injured, Tyler said.

        The Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office, Spotsylvania Fire and Rescue, the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Virginia State Police Accident Reconstruction Team assisted with traffic control and investigation.

        River Road was closed in that area for about four hours, according to Tyler.
