Evans, Frances McGhee

On Friday, May 9, 2025, at Carilion Giles Community Hospital, Pearisburg, VA, Frances McGhee Evans of Peterstown, WV, age 103, was presented with a beautiful pair of wings from her Father in Heaven.

Greeting her at the pearly gates were her husband, James; mother, Beatrice; father, Ray; brother, James; and daughter, Patty Jo.

Son-in-law, James Harman; and grandson, Charles Harman survive her.

Frances was beautiful, kind, generous, smart, and always smiling. She was a leader in the community: President of Garden Club, President of Quota Club, and long-time owner of Towel Town. She was strong, determined, and ahead of her time. When you met Frances, it was instant friendship. If not related, you would want to be.

Frances did not relish the retired life, so she became a greeter at the Pearisburg Walmart. Everyone there enjoyed her warmth and sense of humor. Frances was a pillar of the community and the epitome of West Virginia grit. Frances left a huge legacy of friendship and will be greatly missed.

The funeral service will be held at 2:00 PM on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at the Broyles-Shrewsbury Funeral Home in Peterstown, WV, with Barry Harper officiating. Burial will follow at the Broyles Cemetery. Visitation will be from 1:00 PM until the time of the service on Thursday at the funeral home.

Online guestbook can be signed or condolences may be sent to the family at www.broyles-shrewsbury.com. Arrangements by Broyles-Shrewsbury Funeral Home, Peterstown, WV.
