Age - 68

December 9, 2023

PATRICIA DECHANTAL VASS, 68, known as Chan, left this world on Saturday, December 2, 2023 surrounded by those she loved most. She was born Nov. 10, 1955 in Huntington, a daughter of the late Charles E. Meadows Sr. and Patricia Ann Stewart Meadows. Her beautiful spirit will continue to ignite and fuel the many people she touched and the causes she fought so hard for. Chan graduated from Barboursville High School and Marshall University. Over the course of a lifetime, she lived many lives. And while she worked for 21 years in hospital administration, she was not a person defined by her career. She was first and foremost a person who helped those who needed help and an incredible mother to her son and anyone who needed the presence and affection of a "bonus mom. " With her brilliant smile, she never met a stranger and cultivated countless deep friendships. Chan's love for people radiated from deep within her massive heart and expressed itself in a natural, classic beauty - her gorgeous blonde mane and beautiful blue eyes that carried compassion for anyone in need. Be it someone standing on the corner with no coat, a stray dog limping along, or even a young checkout clerk with eyes swollen from crying, Chan was immediately invested. This empathy extended to a fiery political passion. She marched in the 70's for equal rights and could talk about politics all day. She also was a masterful gardener, a certified yoga teacher, and made the best fried chicken ever. She is survived by her husband and best friend of 24 years, Charles C. Somerville along with her son and the light of her life William Kyle Vass III of Wayne and her beloved "bonus children," Maella Bouchard of Alexandria, Va. and Aedan Somerville of Martinsburg. Her surviving siblings are, Bebe Meadows of Huntington, Ann and Ralph Hensley of Ashland, Ky. , George and Shin Chang Meadows, Chris and Becky Craig Meadows of Dandridge, Tenn. , Mary and Tommy Smirl of Huntington, and Michael and Stephanie Melmige Meadows of Huntington. She is preceded in death by her mother, father, and Charles E. Meadows Jr. Words simply cannot convey how deeply she loved life. A celebration of Chan's life will be held from 6 to 8pm on Wednesday, December 13th at the Our Lady of Fatima Parish Hall in Huntington. A remembrance of her life will begin at 7:30pm. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Harmony House,627 4th Ave, Huntington, WV 25701.

Sara Frances Tomkies Blethen, mother, teacher, traveler, reader, passed peacefully in her sleep on December 4, 2023 in Florida at the age of 93. . Sara was born on December 16, 1929 to Frank and Clara Tomkies, and spent most of her life in Huntington, West Virginia.

She graduated in just three years at Randolph Mason Women's College, and went on to receive her Master's degree plus 45 hours in English from Marshall University in 1951. She married Harry Samson Blethen, Jr. , which later resulted in divorce but also blessed her with four daughters (Mary Katherine, Margaret Joy, Angela Christine, and Anne Harriet). She then spent 26 years raising her family and enriching lives as a teacher, first as a substitute and then as an elementary school teacher in Cabell County Public Schools. Her impact went beyond the classroom as she volunteered and served her community as a historian and leader at Enslow Park Presbyterian Church, secretary and treasurer of AAUW, committee chair of Delta Kappa Gamma, and board member of Stella Fuller and Cridlin. Retirement did not slow her down as she volunteered at Lucy's Attic and Hospice, served the Women's Club as secretary, treasurer, and committee chair, and at her local chapter of AARP as vice president and secretary. Sara could always be found with a book in hand. She was an avid reader, and any time she visited family a trip to the bookstore was a must. She also loved to travel, visiting such places as Australia and Thailand. Education was her passion, and even in conversation she was always teaching, leaving no story untold. Sara was predeceased by her parents and siblings, two brothers Frank and Charles, and sister Clara; as well as her daughters Margaret Tucker (Bruce) and Angela Christine Bias. She is survived by her daughters Mary Stowasser (Gary) and Harriet Romans (Richard), and their families, including multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
