Marie Kathleen Grealis, 72, of Ravenswood stepped into the arms of Jesus, surrounded by family, on September 30, 2022.
She was born on July 18, 1950, to the late Edward F Grealis and Geneva Grealis. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers James Grealis and Edward Grealis.
She is survived by brothers Charles “Pete” Grealis (Mary) of Parkersburg and William “Bill” Grealis (Diana) of Minnesota; and sister Ginny Hinkle (Earl), of North Carolina; daughters, Drema Smith (Matt), and Darla Blankenship; her grandchildren, Hayley Skeens and Nolan Smith; several nieces and nephews; and many kids she adopted in her heart who fondly call her Granny or Mamaw Ree. Also surviving are many special friends who were like family.
She was a 1968 graduate of Ravenswood High School.
She attended Ravenswood Freewill Baptist Church where she was known for passing out winter mint lifesavers and smarties. She was the queen of sarcasm and quick wit and accepted you as you are. She loved helping anyone in need and would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. A heart as big as the world!
In honoring her wishes, attire will be causal in dressing in your favorite sports team apparel or anything reflecting your hobbies. Come as you are!
Visitation will be Wednesday, October 5 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Roush Funeral Home in Ravenswood, WV. Funeral service to follow at 1 p.m. Graveside service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, her request was that donations be made to Jackson County Special Olympics, or a charity of your choice, in her memory.
