- Ethel Faye Landers
(October 5, 1921 - June 4, 2009)
Ethel Faye (Taylor) Landers, 87, of Point Pleasant, died in Holzer Hospital in Gallipolis, Ohio of congestive heart failure on Thursday evening, June 4, 2009.
Born in Jackson County on October 5, 1921, she was the daughter of the late Leander Taylor and Rachel Minerva Cobb Taylor. About 1929, in order to be closer to their older children who were working in Charleston , they moved to Charleston where she lived for many years. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Leolin Velber Landers (December 28, 2006) and five brothers Charles Harvey, James Wilfred, Jessie Willis, Clifton Otis, Denna Russell; and 4 sisters, Gracie Gay, Amy Pearl, Thelma Mae, and Nellie Lee.
She was a homemaker at their Mason County farm near Point Pleasant, and a member of Trinity United Methodist Church.
She was an active gardener and a great cook who enjoyed keeping an immaculate, well organized home for her family. They always looked forward to her delicious meals and great desserts, such as strawberry cream pie and cobblers of every kind, all with homemade melt-in-your mouth crust. She once remarked that she would rather make a home for her family than be President of the United States. In addition, she often worked on the farm alongside her husband.
Education was very important to her and she dedicated herself to seeing that both of her children were college-educated.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Marilyn Faye Landers (Edward Davis) Terry of Tuscaloosa, Alabama; her son and daughter-in-law, Barry Lee (Annette Margaret Bird) Landers of Point Pleasant; and four grandchildren, Kathleen Faye Terry of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Edward Davis Terry, Jr. of Gresham, Oregon, Deborah Elisabeth Landers (Kenneth) Stewart of Charleston, and Douglas Lee Landers of Charleston.
Graveside services will be 1 P.M. Saturday, June 13, 2009, at Cunningham Memorial Park in St. Albans, at the Corr Serenity Mausoleum on top of the hill near the chapel and bell tower. The Rev. Richard K. DeQuasie, pastor of Trinity United Methodist Church, will officiate at the service. There will be no visitation.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Trinity United Methodist Church Homebound Fund, P.O. Box 228, Point Pleasant, West Virginia 25550.
Ethel's care has been entrusted to Crow-Hussell Funeral Home. An online registry is available at: www.crowhussellfh.com.
