Joyce Ferro

David R. Ferro, Sr. and Joyce L. Ferro. Both David and Joyce were together holding hands in the Hospice House as they passed through the gate of Heaven. David first followed by Joyce three days later. This was truly God’s plan all along after being married 73 years and falling in love at the ages of 12 and 13. Graveside funeral rites will be held on Friday, January 17, 2020 at 1:00pm  at High Lawn Memorial Park, Oak Hill W.Va.  Celebration of Life service will be held on January 26, 2020 at 3:00pm at the Westmoreland United Methodist Church, with Pastor Kara Phillippi officiating;  the family will receive friends from 2:00 pm until service time. David was an auto and big truck mechanic and Joyce was a homemaker. David, Joyce, Davey and Donna were baptized as a family sixty years ago at the Westmoreland United Methodist Church.
