Edward Everett Metheny, 97, of Reedsville, passed away on Aug. 8, 2021, at Preston Memorial Hospital. He was born Dec. 13, 1923, a son of Carl and Emma Metheny.
He served in the Navy, Army and Army Airborne and retired from Consolidated Coal Company. He remained very physically active throughout his life. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, boating, swimming and taking long walks.
He is survived by his son, Joseph Keenan and wife Eileen, of Westminster, Md.; daughter, Linda Shaffer and husband Bernie, of Reedsville; daughter-in-law Anna Metheny, of Morgantown; six grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Ruth, son, Ed and 16 siblings. He accepted Christ as his savior when in his mid-80s and lamented that he had waited too long to do so. He read his Bible through several times, quoted John 3:16 regularly and expressed his thankfulness to God and his family relentlessly in his final years. A graveside memorial service with Pastor Jeff Anderson officiating will be held at Oak Grove Cemetery in Terra Alta, at 11 a.m. Aug. 21.
Morgan Funeral Home is honored to serve the Metheny family.
