Alice Mary Haynes

Heaven and is right now rejoicing with her best friend, Jesus, along with her Ruth Ann, John, Clint,

Albert, and all the company of Heaven. Mom is home at last.

Alice Mary Nutter was born in Snow Hill, Nicholas County, WV, on December 17, 1918. She was the

sixth of nine children born to Lawrence and Jenny (Fleger) Nutter. Mom lived longer than nearly all

her contemporaries, preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Frank, Fred, French, Forrest and

Earl Nutter; sisters, Anne Hart, Maye Agee, and Lucille Carte; and 43 in-laws. Alice grew up in

Quinwood, WV, and graduated from Rainelle High School in 1937. She attended Glenville State

College and received a two year Standard Normal Teaching Certificate in 1939.

On December 27, 1941 she married Samuel Clint Hale. They had four children. Husband, Clint (1980),

infant daughter Ruth Ann (1944), and son John (1978) preceded her in death. Son, Joe Hale and his

wife Judy of South Charleston, and daughter, MariJane Hale Frilen and husband Bob of Winter

Springs, FL, survive. Also surviving are seven grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren, four great-great

grandchildren: grandson John II and wife Nikki of St. Albans (great grandchildren, Elizabeth Zolnar

(Jonathan), John III (Brittney), and Elijah; great-great grandchildren, Scarlet Zolnar and Maria and

Maverick Hale); grandson Jeff Hale and wife Karen of York, SC (great grandsons, Dustin and Austin);

grandson, Ryan Frilen of Casselberry, FL (great grandson Aiden Bull of Willow Street, PA) foster

grandson, Jaq Rivera of Winter Springs, Fl (foster great grandson Jayden Rivera of Bronx, NY).

On June 19, 1982, Alice married her second husband, Albert Wilson Haynes, who preceded her in

death in 2015. They lived in Spring Hill, WV. She enjoyed the love and happy company of a large

family and stories of her life will comfort those who survive her.

In June, 2018, Alice moved to Winter Springs, FL to live with her daughter, and for these 18 months

enjoyed frequent visits of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and other friends and relations …

celebrating birthdays, holidays, and the everyday blessings of that busy household. Her sphere of

friends was enlarged and she will be remembered fondly by all those who were blessed to get to

know her during the last months of her life.

Alice’s most enduring relationship and of most importance was with her Savior, Lord, and friend,

Jesus. She became a committed Christ Follower in 1952 and was a member of the Highlawn

Community Chapel in St. Albans and later of Spring Hill Baptist Church. She taught Sunday School at

the Chapel and served faithfully in VBS and AWANA at SHBC until the age of 91. She was a huge fan of

WEMM Christian radio and Christian television programing. The monthly luncheons of Jolly Seniors at

Cross Lanes Bible Church was a favorite destination. Truly, she had no greater joy than to know that

her children and grandchildren walk with the Lord, and cannot be honored nor loved more than for

all her loved ones to glorify God, love and enjoy Jesus, and join her in Heaven.

Our mom requested any memorials be made to Spring Hill Baptist Church, Cross Lanes Bible Church

(Jolly Seniors), or The Gideons. The Good Shepherd Mortuary, 335 5th Avenue, South Charleston is in

charge of final arrangements. The funeral service will be at 1:00 pm on January 2, 2020 at Good

Shepherd. Visitation will be from 11:30 am prior to the service. She will be laid to her everlasting

rest beside her beloved Clint at Cunningham Cemetery in St. Albans.
