Esther Pinson Slone

September 4, 1915 - October 16, 2015

Esther Pinson Slone, 100, formerly of Barboursville, WV passed away Friday, October 16, 2015 in Cold Springs, KY where she resided with her son. She was preceded in death by her husband of 50+ years, Frank B. Slone, a daughter, Margaret C. Martin and a granddaughter, Michelle Y. Slone. Mrs. Slone was born in Pilgrim, KY on September 4, 1915 to the parents of Henon and Hessie Pinson and grew up in Mingo County. She was one of 9 children and survived them all. She was a homemaker for most of her life and found her passion making afghans for family and friends, fishing the Chesapeake Bay with her son-in-law and traveling the country. She is survived by her two sons, Ronald B. Slone (Susie) of Spartanburg, SC, Frank M. Slone (Anna) of Cold Springs, KY; one daughter, Sharon A. Pertee (Tex) of Barboursville, WV; and a special niece, Betty Mosher (Paul) of Richmond, VA. Esther was the proud grandmother of eight: Sean, Cody, Sharon, Lisa, Scott, Heather and Alysia and eleven great grandchildren: Kristin, Brooke, Connor, Sloane, Dakota, Carrington, Gillian, Samantha, Kylee, Cade and Carson. Anyone who knew ‘Nan or Nanny’ would tell you she was a delight to be around, a very giving individual and one who loved to laugh and have a good time. The family would like to express their thanks to her friends over the years, especially Mr. & Mrs. Jack Donta (former owner of the Huntington School of Beauty Culture) and instructor Ms. Kim for being so kind to their mom over the years. There will be a visitation on Wednesday, October 21, 2015 from 11:00am-1:00pm at the Warfield Chapel of the Richmond-Callaham Funeral Home in Warfield, Kentucky with a graveside service to immediately follow at Mountain View Memory Gardens in Maher, West Virginia. Arrangements are under the direction of the Richmond-Callaham Funeral Home, Inez, Kentucky.
