Lottie Mae Poff Radford

July 18, 1932 - December 21, 2025

Lottie Mae Poff Radford, 93, of Floyd, went to be with the Lord on Sunday December 21, 2025. Lottie loved gardening. She canned, froze, and dried everything she grew. She planted flowers and loved spring when the wild azaleas were in bloom. She spoke lovingly and with laughter about her dear friend Myrum Janney. How they walked the mountains to find walnuts and hickory nuts. She loved music, square dancing and won trophies for “Flat Footing’”. She was one of the groups that started the Floyd Rescue Squad Auxiliary and worked faithfully for many years. Lottie was born on July 18, 1932, to Ennis and Evelyn Poff, both deceased. She was also predeceased by her brother: Milton Poff; and sister: Edith Janney Flint; and her husband: Eston Radford. She married Eston on July 2, 1949, at the age of 16 and they were married for 63 years until his passing in 2013. She is survived by brother and sister-in-law: Robert Nelson Poff & Millie Poff; sister: Lillian Oyler; Many nieces and nephews who loved her. Lottie was straight forward when she talked with you, but also kind and funny. She will be missed by many. She was grateful for the care she received while at Skyline Manor Nursing and Rehab. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Vest Cemetery, C/O Denise Peters 142 Daniels Run Rd. Copper Hill, VA 24079. Funeral Services will be Saturday December 27, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Gardner Funeral Home with Rev. David Stetler and Pastor Joseph Ashby officiating. Interment will follow in Vest Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Saturday December 27, 2025, from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM before the service. 

Aunt Lottie you will be missed by all we enjoyed the farm with you and spending time laughing and visiting and all the good times with Uncle Eston and You. I know he was waiting for you at the gates of heaven when you arrived. Love and miss you both

MY FAVORITE AUNT FOR SURE, SHE WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO HOLD ME AS A BABY MOTHERS DAY 75 YEARS AGO. LOVE YOU AUNT LOTTIE JACEY

We will miss you!!

I have known Lottie for many years from church Floyd House of Prayer, She was always friendly and funny things to say She had a good friend in Myrum Janney

So enjoyed spending time with her. Having not met her until assigned to provide home PT with her, I wasnt sure if our agency would be welcome in her home. As it turned out she was always cordial and a true inspiration to me and my co workers. Condolences to her friends and family!
