"The Reverend Stella Marie Muncy, age 84 of Warriormine, WV passed away Saturday, April 29, 2023, at McDowell County Nursing and Rehab Facility in Gary, WV. Born March 20, 1939, she was a daughter of the late Riley England and Lucille Nerman England. Stella was the beloved wife of 56 years to Homer Muncy, and she was a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother.

She was a life-long member of The Independent Church of the Living God of Shop Hollow, and she co-pastored the Little Country Church of War. She found great joy in attending church and worshiping God. Stella was faithful to pray and read her Bible, and she was a great spiritual woman and prophet of God. When this precious lady closed her eyes here on earth, she awoke with Christ and she is now shouting down the streets of gold into the welcoming arms of God to hear, "Welcome home, my faithful servant." In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one son, Homer Allen Muncy; one daughter, Glenna Dale Muncy; three brothers; Orvil, Riley, Jr. and Eugene England; four sisters, Ellen Rutherford, Jennie Mitchell, Faye Cook, and Nellie Dollar; four grandsons, Paul Muncy, Jr., Andrew Prater, Cory McCoy and Cody McCoy."Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Homer Muncy of Warriormine, WV; sons, Timothy McCoy of North Carolina and Jefferey McCoy of Warriormine, WV; daughters, Celia McCoy and companion, Clarence Sparks of Bluefield, WV, Debra McPeak and husband Danny of Tazewell, VA, Emma Green and husband Byron of Bluefield, VA, and Shelly Nunley and husband Anthony of Bluefield, WV; special granddaughter, Alyson Muncy and special grandson Dakota Muncy, both of the home; bonus daughter, Dorene Sparks; special friends, Mary Boyd and Marie Muncy.
