"RODERFIELD — Nannie Bell (Green) Tilley, 90, died October 10, 2011, with her family by her side at her residence near Roderfield, W.Va. Nannie was born April 24, 1921 in North Welch. The wife of a coal miner, she was married to Elden Emory Tilley in 1936 and continued to live in the Roderfield area until 1973. After her husband's retirement, they moved to Fairfax, Va. to care for her ailing sister-in-law. In 2006 Nannie decided to move back to West Virginia to be near her family. She knew what she wanted and what she believed in. She purposefully lived her own life, and made a huge impact on many of her family members' lives through her consistency. An excellent seamstress, Nannie loved growing flowers, feeding hummingbirds and baking pies. She had a generous spirit and good sense of humor. Scrabble, Uno, Phase 10 and Tri-ominos were some of her favorite games. Reading books was one of her favorite pastimes. But most importantly, she faithfully served God from her youth and was the child who influenced her father to change his life long before many of her other siblings were born. The oldest of nine children, Nannie was preceded in death by her husband, Elden; her parents, Jesse and Gladys Green; two sisters, infant Georgia Green and Nellie Mae (Green) Muncy; and two brothers, Ralph Green and Hobert Green."She is survived by four brothers, Willard Green of Knoxville, Md., Steve Green and wife Doris, John Green and wife Wanda, and Elden Green and wife Ivirose all of Roderfield; over 30 nieces and nephews; and many great-nieces and nephews.
"She is a member of the Church of God. For 33 years, she attended the Church of God in Manassas, Va. and upon her relocation to the Roderfield area she attended the Church of God at Harmon's Branch near Iaeger. Pastors John Green of Iaeger and John Wilcoxon of Manassas will be officiating her funeral service which will be held Friday, October 14 at 10:00 a.m. at the Church of God at Harmon's Branch. Visitation will be held Thursday evening from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the Fanning Funeral Home of Iaeger. Family members will serve as pallbearers. Nannie will be laid to rest next to her husband and near her parents in Roselawn Memorial Gardens in Princeton, W.Va...."
