On November 7, 2006 after seventy-seven years of a meaningful life and forty-nine years of fulfilling his calling, Pastor James Poe left this world to enter into the presence of his Lord. He spent the majority of his life preaching and teaching people about the God he loved. The many people who were impacted by his life thru the years are too numerous to count. He will be missed by a host of friends, but his absence will be especially felt by the family he cared so much about. They include his wife and best friend of fifty-six years, Conna Poe; his children- Alan Poe, Steve Poe, Annitta Robinson and Annette McLeod; those who joined the family through the years and were treated as his own – Darcel Poe, Nancy Poe, Steve Robinson, Tom McLeod and A. J. Hanson; his grandchildren that meant so much to him – Sarah Poe, Stephen Poe, Benjamin Poe, Allison Poe, Lauren Poe, Chelsea Poe, Leanne McLeod Hanson, Andrea McLeod and his great-grand daughter, Haley Monet Rawlings. Also, he will be missed by his brothers – Ted Poe and David Poe.
Service will be conducted 11:00 am Friday, November 10, 2006 at Curry Funeral Home, 2097 Childress Road, Alum Creek, WV. Burial will be in the Bryan Family Cemetery. Friends may visit from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm Thursday at the funeral home.
