Simpkins, Marie Duncan
Marie Agnes Simpkins, 86 of Floyd, went home to be with her Heavenly Father on Thursday, January 18, 2024 in her home surrounded by family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Rommie & Dovie Duncan; son, Kendall Simpkins; granddaughter, Brandy Acord; son-in-law, “Bubby” Phillip Lytton; siblings, Evans Duncan, Maxie (Dick) Neece, Irvin (Lois) Duncan, Carl Duncan, and Bernard (Georgia-Lee) Duncan.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, January 22, 2024 in the Beaver Creek Church with Pastor Marvin Wade officiating. Interment will follow in the Beaver Creek Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday, January 21, 2024 at the church.
Tomorrow
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an Angel Came and Called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I have to leave behind
All those I dearly love

It is with deep sorrow to learn of Marie’s passing. In life we meet a lot of wonderful people. But, only a few that are very special to us. Marie was one of those special people in my life. I was always appalled by her work ethic. She was a hard working employee at RAAP each day and in the summer she would can garden vegetables until late at night. Then travel from Floyd to Radford, VA. early next morning for work. She redefined the term “Hard Worker”. May you rest in peace my Special Friend until we meet again. My prayers are with her family that she loved so much.
