Kenneth Anthony Haid, Jr., of Fayetteville, transitioned out of this life January 16, 2017 just short of fifty nine trips around the sun, surrounded by friends, family and the sound of his granddaughter laughing.

Ken was an accomplished musician and had many friends he played with over the years all over the state. He was an avid and skilled motorcyclist and trained Motor Cycle Safety Instructor. He enjoyed riding twisty back roads and finding the gravel long way around where ever he traveled.

Ken was a 1981 graduate of West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. He worked as a livestock inspector for the state and was a longtime employee of the USDA NRCS as a Soil Conservationist. Ken worked in many areas around West Virginia, most recently in Fayette, Raleigh and Wyoming counties and previously in Hardy, Kanawha and Pocahontas counties.

Ken is survived by his wife Melinda (Dolin Shipman) Haid, two sons with wife Sheila (Goldstein) Haid Wilson; Keegan and wife Kasie (Robb) Haid of Orlando and Tanner and Alexandra (Beaulieu) Haid and granddaughter Ariella Haid of Charles Town.

He enjoyed being outdoors more than anything indoors and would want his life to be celebrated and mourned under the sky instead of a roof. In keeping with his independent nature and the varied groups of friends throughout West Virginia and a few other states, please gather as you see fit and remember him in the way best suited to your relationship with him.

In keeping with Ken’s final wishes he was cremated.

Shirley Ruth Heavener, age 81, of Romney, WV died peacefully at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va. on Monday, January 23, 2017.

She was born in Moorefield, W.Va. on November 25, 1935.

Shirley was preceded in death by her sister Dorothy ‚”Pete”‚ Ann Brookins.

She is survived by her husband of 62 years, James “Jim” David Heavener; two Daughters, Diann E. Ganoe and her husband Donnie and Jamie M. Cramer and her husband Eric, all of Romney; three half sisters, Patricia ‚”Patty”‚Kay Haslacker of Shanks,W.Va., Pam Barnes of Romney and Debra Haines and her husband Greg of Shanks, W.Va.; two grandchildren, Gary ‚”Tater”‚ Wayne Pyles II and his wife Michelle of Romney and Kember James Cramer; two great grandchildren, Breanna Martin and her husband Jeff of Clearbrook, Va., and Alyssa Pyles of Paw Paw, W.Va., and a great great granddaughter, Allie Joy Martin. Also survived by a nephew, Logan Michael Brookins and his wife Patty of Santa Rosa, Cal.

Shirley was born in Moorfield, W.Va. and at the age of 9 moved with her family to California, where they lived for six years. It was no secret that Shirley did not care for life in California, and with her father’s blessing and support, at 15 years of age she rode the train (unaccompanied) back to her beloved West Virginia. She soon met Jim and they married in 1954 and started their family with the arrival of Diann. They were a family of 3 for 20 years when Jamie arrived. All the while, Shirley cherished taking care of her husband and girls and devoted all her energies to that endeavor. As the girls married and had children of their own, family gatherings were regular occurrences at the Heavener’s. Shirley loved hosting Sunday dinners, cookouts and any other reason she could come up with to have everybody over. Shirley’s veneer, to many, was quite serious and could be seen as stern (and she could be both!), however, under that was a very clever and wonderful sense of humor that was always at the ready.

She was a member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Wappocoma Post 1101, Romney and was a 40 year member of Weight Watchers “Golden Girls.”

Funeral services will be held on Friday at 2 p.m. at Shaffer Funeral Home in Romney Interment followed at Ebenezer Cemetery, Romney, W.Va.
