Mark Anthony Beckner passed away suddenly at his home on Friday, June 18th, 2021.

Mark was born in Roanoke, Virginia on June 26, 1963, to Allen (Joe) Beckner and Mary Radford Beckner. He grew up with his brother and sisters on Bent Mountain in Roanoke County. Mark attended Arnold R. Burton Vocational School where he studied autobody and graduated from Cave Spring High School in 1981. He was also a former volunteer firefighter for Station 8 in Bent Mountain, Virginia. Mark worked for Akzo Nobel (previously Reliance Universal) for 35 years. He most recently worked in the position of the Hazardous Min. Waste Manager. Mark loved sports and children. For 14 years, he combined the two by coaching in Floyd County not only the teams his children were on but other children's teams as well. Mark was a much loved and dedicated coach and most recently he coached his own grandson in T-ball in Roanoke County. He was elected the official Paw Paw for the team.

Mark met the love of his life, Jodi, on a blind date in 1982. Mark and Jodi were married in July of 1984. They settled in Bent Mountain, Virginia, and later moved to build their family home in Floyd County, Virginia where they raised their 3 children.

Mark leaves behind his greatest love, his wife, Jodi, sons, Ryan (Cassandra), Tyler (Kristen), and daughter Makayla. His greatest joys were his grandchildren, Emma and Nolan (Ryan) and Evelynn, Trigg, and Charlotte (Tyler). Left to mourn Mark's loss are his parents, Joe and Mary Beckner, his sister Brenda McPherson (Cole), his brother, Timmy Beckner (Martha), and sisters, Susan Hoal (Bill), Cathy Bair, and Jeanie Ryder (Duke) as well as many beloved nieces and nephews. Mark also leaves behind his mother-in-law, Winnie Minson, and brother-in-law Don Minson.

Robert Edward "Bob" Kelley, 72, passed away at his home in Midlothian, Virginia, on Saturday, January 13, 2018.

Robert Edward “Bob” KelleyRobert was born November 28, 1945, in Roanoke, Virginia. He was a 1964 graduate of Patrick Henry High School. He and his late wife, Carol Anne “Susie” Hinchee, were married August 7, 1965, at Our Lady of Nazareth Catholic Church in Roanoke.
He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1966, and served four years active duty and two years reserve. While stationed at Davis Monthan AFB, Tucson, Arizona, their son, Brian C. Kelley was born in 1969. When his service was completed, he moved his family back to Roanoke, eventually moving to Midlothian, Virginia. He was a sales manager and worked for several computer companies over the years: Data General Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Spectrum Data Systems, and Kronos Corporation. Robert had several avid interests: Civil War history and ancestry; trap & skeet shooting; golf; salt water tropical fish, and photography. He was an NRA instructor in rifle, handgun, and shotgun, one of the founders of the Roanoke Valley Four Wheel Drive Association, and Virginia State Representative for Sporting Clays. Several times a year, declaring he had to get his “mountain fix,” he took pleasure in spending a few days at the Kelley cabin in Floyd County. He will be remembered as a loving, caring soul with a larger-than-life personality who enjoyed telling jokes and making people laugh.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ausborne Paul Kelley and Marguerite Heckman Kelley. His wife of 52 years, Carol Anne “Susie” Hinchee, died October 25, 2017. Survivors include his son, Brian C Kelley, Midlothian; his brother, Richard Kelley, and sister, Paula Kelley Ward and her husband, John, all of Roanoke, Virginia; a sister, Peggy Kelley; a niece, Erin Ward Byers, White Plains, New York; a nephew, Sean Ward, San Antonio, Texas, two great nieces, a great nephew, great-great nephew and great-great niece, of San Antonio, and many cousins.

Robert Mistele Obituary (2011) - Legacy Remembers

 

Merrily Louise (Lowry) Mistele passed from death into eternal life on December 1, 2020. She was born on July 12, 1924, to Fred and Verna (Black) Lowry in Oklahoma City, Okla. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Marvin Woodcock; her second husband, Robert Mistele; her sister, Frances (Lowry) Winfrey and son-in-law, Michael Touscany.
She is survived by her brother, Fred J. Lowry (Elnora); her children, Britton Mistele (Jean), Suzanne Touscany, Nan Sierra (David), and Sarah Bechler (Paul). 10 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and one great great-grandchild.
Merrily graduated high school early and became a legal secretary for attorney Herman Mercer. She then married her high school sweetheart Marvin Woodcock who served in the United States Air Force during World War II and shot down and died in the Italian Alps. She then met Bob Mistele at church and they were married November 2, 1946. Merrily was the wife of baseball player, coach and teacher. Along with raising their four children, she used her talents of sewing to good use both for the children and her home. As the children grew and left home she spent hours painting, French heirloom sewing, smocking, rug hooking and wool appliqué. Selling many of her "wares" along the way.
Merrily was also very active in church both in the choir and Pioneer Girls. A favorite was her annual solo of "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" at the Christmas Eve service. She was a member of the Wooley Sheep Rug hooking group in Roanoke and was dearly loved by all who knew her.
Merrily's relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ was evident in every aspect of her life. Many times sharing with others of God's faithfulness all through her life. One of her favorite verses she often shared with her grandchildren was 2 Timothy 2:15.
She will be greatly missed but her family that remains eagerly awaits their reunion with her in heaven!!!
The family will be having a private graveside service at a later date. Online condolences may be made at http://gardnerfuneralhomefloyd.com.

Michael Robert Touscany, 63, of Floyd, passed away on Tuesday, July 30, 2013. "Mike" was born 63 years ago in Detroit, Mich. He grew up in a loving home, and enjoyed playing little league sports, Tigers baseball games, red wings hockey games, and fast cars. He played in several bands in the mid 1960s. He met his wife, Sue Mistele Touscany, when they were seniors in high school. They married, and went to work in his father's store, The Goodhousekeeping Shop, in Detroit.
In 1982, they moved with their two daughters to Greensboro, N.C. where he took a position with Circuit City. In 1995, they moved to Floyd, and Mike transferred to the Circuit City in Roanoke. He was with Circuit City for 22 ½ years. In 2004, he became the night store manager at Lowe's on 220. In 2007, he became General Manager at Shoe Carnival until he retired in June, 2012.
Mike was diagnosed with cancer six months after he retired. He fought a courageous fight, and was the perfect patient. If you knew Mike, he was a gentle, patient, funny, one-of-a kind guy. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
Mike was a Christian, and knew he would one day be with his Savior. God's love and peace sustained him throughout his life and his death.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Suzanne Mistele Touscany; daughters, Melinda Touscany Carr and husband, Brian, Nan Touscany Lamay and husband, Wayne; awesome grandsons, Grayson Carr and Payton Carr; sister, Sally Wilson; sisters-in-law, Jean Mistele, Nan Sierra, Sarah Bechler, Connie Snider, brothers-in-law, Britt Mistele, Ricke Snider, Paul Bechler, David Sierra; beloved nieces and nephews; and his precious mother-in-law, Louise Mistele. He also leaves behind his faithful dog, Rico; and lifelong friends, Jim Holloway, Mike Daly, and Carol Szalega.
Special thanks and gratitude to Good Samaritan Hospice: April, Pam, Lydia, Heather, and Darlene. We could not have done without you. Special thanks to Joe Womack, C.W. Turner, and hairdresser, Ashley.
Funeral services will be conducted at 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 3, 2013, at Gardner Funeral Home Chapel with the Reverend Joe Womack officiating. Interment will follow at the Vest Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the funeral service at Gardner Funeral Home. There will be no night visitation at the funeral home.
