Arlena McCoy Gamble

Of Hensley Heights, WV

   Sarah Arlena McCoy Gamble of Hensley Heights, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, December 5, 2019, leaving from her earthly home, after a wonderful life of 89 years.

   She was born on February 6, 1930, at Becco, the daughter of the late Joe and Millie (Wilson) McCoy.

   In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Arlie Gamble; one sister, Magdalene Dunn; and three brothers, Amizah McCoy, Joe Bud McCoy, and V.J. Lunsford Morgan; and her mother-in-law, Ethel “Ma” Gamble.

   Arlena was a Christian and a faithful member of the Man Church of God until she became unable to walk.  Devoted to her family, Arlena was the mother of five children whom she knew and loved individually.  As her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her one great-great-grandchild came along her heart swelled with more love for each of them.  Arlena enjoyed sewing, cooking, baking, taking trips to FL, music, all church activities, and anything to do with her family.  Arlena had a wonderful sense of humor, a kind heart, a love for God’s people and the ability to share the gospel wherever she went.

   Those left to cherish her memory are five children, Dennis (Chloe) Gamble of NM, Sherman “Butch” (Mary) Gamble of Kistler, Judy (Harold) Harris of Combs Addition, Sheila Gamble of Landville, and Paula (Glenn) Adkins of South Man; 10 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; 1 great-great-grandchild; along with a host of other relatives, church family, and friends.

   The family would like to thank Sheila for living and caring for our mother for the last few years.  We would also like to thank Marsha Gravely, Sherry Vance, and Linda Traylor along with Dignity Hospice for their care and compassion.

   Visitation will be held from 6-9 p.m. Sunday, December 8, 2019, at the Man Church of God at Man where a Celebration of Arlena’s life will begin at 7 p.m. with Rev. Donald Lafferty officiating. 

   Arlena will be laid to rest on Monday at 1:00 p.m. at Forest Lawn Cemetery at Pecks Mill.  The funeral procession will begin lining up at 12:00 p.m. or you can meet at Forest Lawn Cemetery.

   Pall bearers will be grandsons and great-grandsons.

   Online condolences may be sent to www.krantzmcneelyfuneralhome.com

   Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Krantz-McNeely Funeral Home at Man.
