Virginia “Betty" Roberts Stout

July 09, 1943 - November 07, 2020

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling and on Saturday, November 7, 2020 Virginia “Betty” Roberts Stout, age 77 of Floyd, VA answered the call. Born July 9, 1943 to the late Harrison and Ollie Roberts in Roderfield, WV she was preceded in death by her loving husband Herman Booker Stout, her son-in-law James Mays, four sisters Melissa Scarberry, Freida Pruitt, Effie Justice, and Phyllis Justice, three brothers Roy Lee Roberts, Fred Roberts, and Milford Roberts. This great matriarch of our family taught us many lessons of faith, love, kindness, and humility through her words and her actions. She has always been and will always be our angel here on earth. Her love for her God and her family was always evident to anyone who knew her and even to some who didn’t know her as she was always willing to share with anyone that would listen how blessed she was in this life. Mom always enjoyed having her family and friends with her even though it could get a little loud and rowdy she would just join right in. The laughter shared and the memories made with our angel will be passed down for generations to come. Left to cherish her memory are her children Janet Stout, Floyd, VA, Tina Stout Mays, Floyd, VA, Tammy Stout Doyle and husband Ricky, Martinsville, VA, and Herman Booker Stout II and wife Lisa, Dublin, VA her grandchildren James Lee Mays II (Jennifer), Floyd, VA, Holly Mays Knecht (Daniel), Christiansburg, VA, Darren Doyle (Sierra), Martinsville, VA, Nathan Stout (Katelyn), Christiansburg, VA, Jasmine Doyle (Zack), Martinsville, VA, and William Stout, Dublin, VA, her great granddaughter Onawa Mays, Floyd, VA, her brother Darrell Roberts and wife Ida, Premier, WV, and many nieces and nephews.
