John V. Bagley, Jr., 91, of St. Albans went to be with the Lord Thursday, November 2, 2017.
He was born January 23, 1926 in Mammoth, WV to the late John V. Sr. and Jessie Bagley. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Eloise and several siblings.
John was a very caring man toward his kids. He loved golf and WVU football and basketball. He also loved to work on anything that needed to be fixed around the house. John invented a lot of things for his medical needs for which we called him the “mad scientist”! He was definitely a man’s man.
He served in the U. S. Army during WWII. John retired from Union Carbide with 37 years service. He was a member of Highlawn Baptist Church where he served on many boards.
John is survived by his daughter, Betty Sue Bagley; sons, John C. and Ralph E. Bagley; and sister, Mary Williamson.
Service will be 12:00 p.m. Monday, November 6, 2017 at Highlawn Baptist Church in St. Albans with Roger Jarrett officiating. Burial will follow at Cunningham Memorial Park, St. Albans.
The family will receive friends from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5, at Highlawn Baptist Church in St. Albans.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to Highlawn Baptist Church, 2304 Jefferson Ave., St. Albans, WV 25177.
To the Bagleys, The Johnson family, Robert and Flip’s daughters, would like to extend our heartfelt condolences for the death of your father, Betty , J. C. and Ralph. So commendable of you to take great care of your Dad! And Mom just loved “Stoney.” Your parents were hard-working and good people. Sincerely, Jane, Marty and Jeannie
My father Donald Woodrum worked in the mines at Mammoth in the late 40’s and 50’s. I remember hearing the name Bagley mentioned by both him and my mother. I wondered if he may have worked with your dad or grandfather in the mine during that time. It is so hard to lose a parent and I am sorry that this has happened to your family.
Betty:
I am very sorry about your Father. I was reading the obituaries in the Charleston Gazette online November 4, 2017 and saw it. I hope you are all right. I have lived in Jacksonville, Florida the last 25 years. I hope to see you again some day.
Thank you Roberta I appreciate your condolences! Dad was ready and he’s where he always wanted to end up with the Lord and his wonderful bride!
