Notes for ORPHA SARAH JACKSON:

Orpha S. Wilcox

Orpha Sarah Wilcox, 93, of Parkersburg was called home to be with her Lord on Sunday, May 22, 2005, at Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital in Parkersburg. She was surrounded by her loved ones in her passing.

Orpha was born March 17, 1912, in Graysville, Ohio, a daughter of the late Harry F. and Mae King Jackson. She grew up in Middlebourne/Tyler County. She was a member of the Calvary Memorial Church. She enjoyed hosting and attending many of her clubs: Garden Club, Homemakers, sewing, canasta and the Rebecca's. Orpha also enjoyed working at Misty Manufacturing on Saturdays.

She is survived by her only son, Ottis F. Wilcox and his wife, Marge, of Parkersburg, with whom she made her home; two granddaughters and their husbands, Pamela and Pete Myers and Becky and Ron Cheuvront, all of Parkersburg; five great-grandchildren, Matthew, Samantha and Ryan Cheuvront, Adam Myers and wife, Allys, and Rebecca Myers, all of Parkersburg; several nieces and nephews; and her loving pet of many years, Gretchen.

On Jan. 3, 1932, Orpha was united in marriage to Paul Newman Wilcox, who died in 1979. In addition to Paul, she was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter, Janice Wilcox; her two brothers, Dean T. Jackson and Robert Jackson; and one sister, Ruth Jackson Farrell.

Funeral services will be 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Lambert-Tatman Funeral Home, 400 Green St., Parkersburg, with Pastor Rob Collins officiating. Orpha will be laid to rest beside her husband, daughter and other family members at the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Parkersburg. The family will receive friends from 3-8 p.m. today and until service time Wednesday at the funeral home.

Orpha was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be sadly missed. Perhaps she will always be known as a dedicated mother and caregiver to her late daughter, Janice, for 60 years.

The family would like to extend special thanks to Dr. James Spychalski, Hospice, and the third floor staff at Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital for their thoughtfulness, hospitality and for making Orpha's last five days as peaceful and comfortable as possible.

25. MARGARET FRANCIS7 CARSE (LAURA OLIVE "DEE"6 WILCOX, FRANCIS RUHAMA5 OWENS, JOHN TURNER4, JOSEPH H.3, JOSEPH TURNER2, JOHN1) was born 22 Jun 1926 in Tyler County, West Virginia, and died 23 Aug 2009 in Twin Falls, Idaho - buried at Twin Falls Sunset Memorial Park (the southwest Vallivue area). She married ALBERT THOMAS BILLINGTON 21 Jan 1949 in Twin Falls, Idaho. He was born 03 Mar 1924.

Notes for MARGARET FRANCIS CARSE:

"Peggy" Margaret Billington passed away Sunday morning, Aug. 23, 2009, at her farm home in Twin Falls.

Born Jan. 22, 1926, in Middlebourne, W. Va., to Alden and Dee (Wilcox) Carse, her life was committed to her family and caring for others in her lifelong nursing career. In 1943, she graduated from Moundsville High School and joined the Nurse's Cadet Corps in Charleston, W. Va. Her exemplary work ethic allowed her to graduate ahead of her class, and she became a certified registered nurse in 1946, fulfilling the first of her life ambitions.

With a spirit for adventure, she headed west to find a nursing job at the Twin Falls County Hospital. She worked the night shifts until she became the nurse for Dr. Wayne Schow, a general practitioner she held to be one of the best ever. Upon his retirement, she became the nurse for his brother, Dr. Doug Schow, where she worked until she retired.

In Twin Falls, Peggy-Margaret also found her life mate, Albert "Bert" Billington. They were married on Jan. 21, 1949. For their 60 years, they carried on the Billington family way of life to farm the land and to feed and care for the livestock they loved to raise. The Billington family's homestead broke ground in 1906, where they farmed with the family, and she lived and cherished her second life ambition of raising their four children. She will be greatly missed as a loving wife, priceless mother and unconditional friend.

Peggy-Margaret is survived by her husband, Albert T. Billington; her four children, Tom (Jeannie) Billington, Sue Billington-Wade, Bob (Kay) Billington and Bruce (Chris) Billington; eight grandchildren, Matt (Lindsey) Billington, Tiffany (Matt) Krumm, Todd Billington, Jim Wade, Dan Billington, Will Billington, Charlie Billington and Jake Billington; one great-grandson, Westley Billing-ton; a cherished sister-in-law, Joyce (Charlie) Johnston; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; and only brother, Siboney Carse.

A graveside memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, at Twin Falls Sunset Memorial Park (the southwest Vallivue area), with the Rev. Phil Price from the Twin Falls Presbyterian Church officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be given in Peggy-Margaret's honor to the Hollister or Twin Falls Presbyterian Church.
