Obituary for Norma June Wood
https://obituaries.timeswv.com/obituary/norma-wood-1056611296

Accessed April 28, 2024
On Saturday, April 21, 2018, Norma June Wood, née Van Pelt, returned to her heavenly home.

June was born in Marion County on June 22, 1934 to Thaddeus A Van Pelt and Maryellen S Van Pelt, née Bollinger. She was their second child but the oldest daughter.

June met a dashing young soldier, Paul Loraine Wood and married him on April 11, 1952. He was the son of Charles C. Wood and Olive R. Wood, née Beal, of Randolph County. When her parents passed away, many of her brothers and sisters were too young to take care of themselves so they lived with June and her husband Paul L. Wood until they were old enough to go out on their own. For this reason many of her siblings called her mom.
 June's greatest joy in life was caring for her family and her caring was a gift cherished and felt by all.

She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Buddy L. Van Pelt (Bud), Maryellen V. Wood (Jenny) and her husband Francis D. Wood, Nancy L. Zink and her husband Arthur W. Zink, William T. Van Pelt (Bill), John E. Van Pelt (Johnny) and his wife Donna R. Van Pelt, Judith A. Stewart (Judy) and her husband John E. Stewart, and an infant brother Thaddeus A. Van Pelt Jr.

She is survived by her husband, Paul; son, David R. Wood and his wife Robin A. Wood née Bingamon; granddaughter, Chasity J. Wood and her fiancé Sean Moore; grandson, Brandon P. Wood and his wife Anna L. Wood née McMullen; great-granddaughter, Penelope H. Wood; and loved ones and friends too numerous to list.

A private family memorial will be held at a later time.
Condolences can be sent to the family at 1365 Overhill Road, Fairmont, WV 26554.
