        Alice was born June 8, 1926, in Enid, OK. At 20 months old she was placed in an orphanage. Eight days later Alice was taken to the home of Wayne, Minnie and Melvinia Jefferies. They adopted her and were her loving parents and sister.

        Alice’s dad, Wayne, had built a nice home on their 80-acre farm outside Kiowa, KS, but times were hard and Wayne had to get a job in town. Later he transferred to Isabel, KS where Melvinia graduated from high school and Alice went to 1st grade. The next year the family moved back to the farm, and Alice went to the country school her mother, dad and sister attended.

During her school years Alice studied piano with Mrs. Hugh Griffin and earned many awards for her skill as a pianist. Among her awards was inclusion on the National Honor Roll for Pianists at age 11. Alice graduated from Kiowa High School in 1944 and went to Bethany College in Lindsborg, KS on a music scholarship. There she met the love of her life, Bob Eklund. They were married July 1, 1945 in her parents’ home in Kiowa.

        Throughout her lifetime Alice gave the gift of music to many piano students, accompanied others, and played for countless events. She was (in her words) “ So fortunate to have had such wonderful, loving parents, a precious sister whom I loved dearly, and the best husband in the world.” She was also blessed with six children: Connie, Larry, MaryAnn, Shellee, Wayne and Scott. She and Bob had a beautiful life together and were especially happy when their children and grandchildren were around.

        Alice is survived by her children Connie Bray, Larry (Celia) Eklund, MaryAnn (Marty) Rathburn, Shellee (Richard) Starr, Wayne (Rose) Eklund, Scott (Syndi) Eklund; 12 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren; and 2 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 71 years, her parents, her sister, and one granddaughter, Kim Bryant.

        Joshua John ‘Josh’ Green, 39, of Myrtle Beach, SC, formerly of Morgantown, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, December 29, 2018 at his home in Myrtle Beach.

        Josh was born July 8, 1979 in Morgantown, son to Cecil Samuel 'Sam' Green of Fairmont and the late Pamela Munza Green.

        Josh grew up in Marion County and was a graduate East Fairmont High School class of ‘97. He later attended WVU and the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science.

Josh was intentional in his desire to really connect with other people everywhere he landed at home or abroad.

        He was a talented pianist, loved music of all genres, watching old reruns of the 80s & 90s and long talks on his front porch at 300. Josh had a passion for fast cars, the open road and a good playlist. His love of designer labels earned him the nickname, ‘Gucci’ from his co-workers and he wore it as badge of honor.

        Josh was known by many names, but will always be remembered as a caring, compassionate soul with a colorful vocabulary. His storytelling was beyond compare, his quick wit and sarcasm were always welcome and his empathy for others was genuine.

        For the past eight years, Josh worked as an Apprentice Funeral Director at the Fred L. Jenkins Funeral Home. Drawing from his own experiences, he comforted and cared for scores of families who have experienced loss. Recently, he decided to make a change and was looking forward to planting roots in one of his favorite vacation destinations, Myrtle Beach. Josh reminded us, ‘Everyone has a story.’

        He is survived by his father, Sam Green and companion Terry Hill of Fairmont, his Aunt Jan Ford and husband Fred of Morgantown; Aunt Diana Munza Fergusen of Fairmont; uncle John and wife Diane Green of Rivesville; cousin Ashley ‘Goose’ Freeman of Pittsburgh; his best friend and neighbor Joan Selby. Also surviving is his feline companion ‘Sperm.’

        He was preceded in death by his mother, Pamela ‘Pam’ Munza Green; Uncles Ron Munza, Kenneth Green; paternal grandparents, Junior and Gladys Green; maternal grandparents, Vincent and Helen Munza.

        Cremation is being arranged by the Fred L. Jenkins Funeral Home.

        Those left to cherish his memories are daughters, Dora Yvonne Loudin (Tim), Buckhannon, WV, Katy Butcher (John), French Creek, WV, Julie Thomas and her partner for life, Timothy Richardson, who resided with him and his pick of the liter, his very favorite daughter, Desta Lynne Thomas (Bill), of Gassaway, WV.

        He had his own sawmill for many years where he worked tirelessly to provide for his family. He was one of the hardest working men and has passed this onto his daughters.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing, rook, gardening, but most of all spending time with his girls and his dog, Sassy.

        The family would like to say a special thank you to Frametown Fire Department, Braxton County EMS, Braxton County Memorial Hospital and Dr. Douglas Given for referring us to CMAC in Charleston where he had the best Nurses and Doctors we could have asked for. They all truly cared about their job and Dad and it showed in the care that they gave him. A very sincere appreciation to Dr. Gregory Peters, Buckhannon for all that he has done for Dad over all these years. He couldn’t have had a better doctor and he was also considered a friend. Also a special thanks to Stockert-Paletti Funeral Home for all the understanding, compassion and support they have given the family.
