Today Katherine Hall Boyd, 98, of Roanoke, VA, formerly of Meadows of Dan, VA, is Worshiping at the feet of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She went home to Heaven on July 26, 2020. Katherine loved the Lord and her life Radiated the joy of knowing Jesus. She faithfully attended church and read her bible through countless times and practiced what she read. She truly lived her life as a “ Proverbs 31 Woman”. She loved and cared for her family and her favorite activities were time spent with her family and serving others. Never Idle, she was no stranger to hard work, Retiring from J.P. Stevens, in Stuart, VA, she continued working by cultivating a large garden, making yo-yo quilts and tending her flower garden, Her fried apple pies were highly sought after and she loved to yard sale. Since she was raised during the Great Depression, she knew the value of a penny and never liked to throw anything away.

This beautiful picture of Mrs. Katerine. It is a perfect depiction of her. She truly did radiate with the presence of Jesus. She always had a smile and something sweet to say when we would meet her. Heaven has gained a mighty saint of God. Until we meet again very soon, Love, Pastor Rick and Janet
