Cause of Death: Pneumonia
Custom Field:<_FA#> Burried at Moore Cenetary, Near Hundred, West Virginia
The pretty one. Loved to sing. Dad didn't want any of the girls to get
their hair cut so we all had hair to our shoulders. Despite the fact
that she knew Dad wouldn't approve, she had her hair cut in a boyish bob.
I'm sure Dad was upset but I guess he reconciled to it. When s he was 17
she wanted to qiut school and get married. Dad would not hear of i t. A
short time later she contacted plemonia and side plursey and died.

13611 I16941  Sapp  Violet Pearle  14 Jun 1907  1989  Custom Field:<_FA#> Lived at Nettle Hill, PA until WW II

After her son James was killed, she had her name changed to Susan Pearl. She was 5' 2" and always said that she was short because she worked so hard. She was an artist and a poet, and loved wild flowers. When her first daughter was born she wrote a poem about her that to me was very good. One line line I will always remember, "A dimple turned inside out for a tiny little nose". Susan and John lived at Nettle Hill, Green Co., PA until WW II, then moved to Warren, OH.

13622 I7920  SAPP 🧬  OLIVER WOODROW  11 Mar 1917  27 Mar 2009  "Regardless of Notations on Official Government Documentation Ollie was a tall man of at least 6 feet." personal observation of Virginia Lee "Gini" (Bier) Sapp  tree1 
13623 I7920  SAPP 🧬  OLIVER WOODROW  11 Mar 1917  27 Mar 2009  "Grandpa was born Oliver Woodrow Sapp. He told me he did not like his name and did not like President Woodrow Wilson (of whom we share ancestry) so he up and changed his name. All he told me about this was that he started going by Ollie before the Second Great War. In the 1940 Census he is still going by his birth name but buy the time of his marriage he is Ollie W. Sapp. I have at times seen his name listed as W. Olliver on other peoples family trees but his birth name had only one L in it. As a minor note most of these trees also list my name as Kelly or Kelley.

Grandpa tried to teach me to shoot when I was about five years old. I was with him and we were walking to the bridge that crossed the creek to go see Jimmy, the best hunting dog ever, and there was a rattler. He told me
to stay still and slowly went for the gun he had. He put it in my hands and told me I had to shoot it in the head or else we were in some big trouble and he laughed. He had his hands loosely around the gun and counted down and we killed that snake and went to play with Jimmy but that day turned me away from guns, much to Grandpa's dismay.

He tended to let me do tons of crazy stuff. He let me help on the riding mower and sometimes do it with out him, he let me ride in the back of the truck while he drove at crazy speeds and in general anything else fun that would scare my Mom and Dad to death.

Needless to say time with Grandpa was always lots of fun. When I was a kid I would hide everyday when I knew he was coming home from work. He seemed to always know where I was but every workday he still pretended not to know where I was. Then when he would find me, or let me jump out and scare him, he would grab me and tickle me. Then we would watch the TV show the Dukes of Hazard that was then in syndication while Grandma would cook dinner and smile in at us from the kitchen.

I will add notes about Rock soon, for now he loved that damned horse, he said he was mine but the whole country side knew better.

Grandpa was a die hard romantic. He drove to see Grandma everyday she was in the nursing home, but for one day when the snow was to bad for even him. He was so very upset about that day and never forgave himself. He always had a kiss or pat on the bumm for Grandma. Their story was always a romantic one, filled with good time and bad.

In the end as Grandma struggled he did not let it phase him. What they had put the movie the Notebook to shame. When Grandma died the day before their 66th wedding anniversary it was hard for him to take. My Mom and I tried to console him and told him that he should say to heck with it and count it as 66 years. He played along to make me happy.

I will add notes about his death soon, for now I will say that he was determined to make it past his birthday even though the doctors said he would not. He was a Sapp. He made his goal. We had a perfect goodbye. His death was a good one. I miss him.

As of January 29th, 2015 there are no pictures of his headstone or that of Grandma Maxine on Find A Grave or Billion Graves."

13628 I6039  SAPP 🧬  RONALD STUART  28 Jun 1946  20 Nov 2015  Eulogy given by Kellie Sue Sapp King for Ronald Sapp:

"I remember my Dad taking the training wheels off of my first bike, it was a Strawberry Shortcake bike, him giving me away to be married, saying goodbye to me as I moved to North Carolina and finally when he said his last goodbye to me before he died when all he could say is 'I love you Sweetie' over and over again. There were so many times he had to let go of me and now I have to let go of Him.

Right now I feel like that little girl holding on so tight and letting go all at the same time. The only way I know how to do that and to say Dad, I love you is by speaking to all of you today.

Many people here may think of my dad as an engineer or even a person who loved getting paid to tell other people no and then bragging about it. You may see the New River Gorge Bridge, the Blennerhasset Bridge or Corridor D as some of my dad's greatest accomplishments. I am so proud of my Dad for leaving his handprint across this beautiful state. He even received the attention and a personal phone call from then President Ronald Reagan, but those things he does not want to be remembered for. He blamed his coworkers and the contractors for those successes.

Other people here may think of him as Ronnie, a friend, cousin and class mate. It is also easy to think of my Dad as a model train enthusiast and train chaser, for that he was. He was so many things to so many people but I don't think of any of those things when I think of my Dad. I think of the man who joked that he dated a Brewer, then dated a Stein and finally got right when he married a Bier.

My Dad was a story teller. He loved sitting at the dinner table or anywhere were people were gathered around him and tell stories about family, friends and coworkers. He talked about family all the time.

He told the same stories over and over again. When he did he seemed to always use the same words, end them in the same way, yet always be just as excited to tell them. He would always tell every story the same way every time so that those around him got to know them by heart. Just as he never tired of telling them, I never tired of hearing them.

Dad knew that by telling the stories and doing genealogy research he kept those people with us. It did not matter if they were deceased or simply lived hours away, no matter how far away we are from one another his stories kept us together. He allowed those loved and gone to live on in a vibrant, meaningful way that brought smiles to faces. A lesson sometimes we all need to remember. The lesson and the tales he told, they are the greatest gift he has ever or could ever have given to me and our family.

As a child I often thought my Dad was just trying to make laugh or pull my leg when he told his stories. He had me convinced for the longest time that I was older than him. He was born on June 28th and I was born on June 27th so that made me a day older than him. He also had me convinced that Lou Costellos math was correct in the Abbott and Costello math skit 7*13=28. And for some reason Dad later wondered why I was so poor at math.

One day he told me that as my uncle was at work one day and was on a piece of heavy machinery, fell down and stepped on his own ear with his heavy work boot I had a hard time believing him, but it was true. I often found with my Dad that the more fantastic the tale the more likely it was true.

One of his favorite work stories was one day when he had to fire someone. He did not want to fire the guy but he had to. So first this guy gets fired, then his car breaks down and Dad has to give him a ride home in our old Honeydew colored Pontiac Bonneville with hot leather seats in the middle of summer. This guy is humiliated at this point. So just when it seems it cannot get any worse, I was in the backseat with him, get car sick and throw up all over the poor guy, twice. The guy gets out of his car trying to joke with Dad about how things cannot get any worse as he trips up the stairs to his house. Dad laughed so hard every time he told that one that tears would well in his eyes.

His favorite stories though were about family. He enjoyed telling me that he had a double aunt and made me try to figure out. I think he was preparing me for genealogy. When he told me his biological aunt through one of his parents married his biological uncle through his other parent the story always ended the same, 'So when mom and dad said we were going to see my Aunt, we really were going to see my AUNT.'

What he did was more than keeping the memories and stories of our friends and family alive. He gave his descendants an opportunity to know death is temporary and that lives are more than dates placed on headstones or in the genealogy programs he loved so well. He taught that this is where we are only parted until we can be together again and we will be together again.

Even at funerals, viewings and wakes he would tell stories and laugh. He got it. He understood that they were not gone. My Dad knew that those who passed would not want the living to stop living, to stop laughing, to stop loving. In that he lived as an example to me and to others.

That is his legacy, the understanding that life goes on until we are together again, that stories keep us together, the decades of genealogy two of which we did together, and knowing that this is only the end of a chapter and not the end of a book is what he has left us all.

In conclusion I need to say that it seems with so many people gone from all of our lives, with my Dad gone that the world is a much darker place. It is not so much that this world is a darker place it is more that now the next one is simply that much brighter because he is there. So today I invite you to bring some of that light back as we embark on the next chapters of our own stories, today I ask you all to follow my Dads example by telling stories and jokes about him and other people that you miss and in doing so honor his memory. Thank you."
