Joyce was a servant, a caregiver, and above all else, a child of God. When Karl was alive, they did everything together. They cooked together, they rode bikes together, they grew gardens, tended flowers and fruit trees, and took such good care of their neighbors. When their families came to visit, they were sure to take them to the ocean, the pool, to church, and to keep them in the air conditioning during the worst of the Florida sun. They loved the Atlanta Braves, playing Uno, and watching their "shows" which really meant Days of our Lives and Another World. Once they moved back to Virginia, Joyce loved spending time with her children and her grandchildren on a more regular basis. She also joined her beloved church and made so many friends that she completely embraced as family. She delighted in each new grandchild, great grandchild and great great grandchild that was born. She loved seeing pictures of everyone and hearing stories of their craziness. She also treasured the yearly reunion with her Epperly family where she got to have in person updates on all of her siblings, cousins, and extended family. She was an irreplaceable treasure and while our hearts will always be missing a piece, we are so grateful she is having a chance to reunite with her loved ones that went before her to heaven and how sweet that hug with Jesus will be. The family expresses much gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and especially Nicole from the Palliative Care Unit at LewisGale Hospital Montgomery. They went above and beyond to make her comfortable in her final days. on February 6, 2022.3

Guy Herbert "Sonny" Quesenberry Guy H. Quesenberry, 85, died March 4, 2021, at his home in Williamsburg, VA surrounded by his devoted family. He was a longtime resident of Newport News. "Sonny" as he was known by those who loved him was born Feb. 6, 1936, in Pulaski County to Swanson and Elizabeth. He grew up surrounded by his brothers and sister in the dazzling mountains of Southwestern VA. Sonny was an All-American football player at Radford High School. While in Christiansburg, VA, he met his lifelong mate, Dorothy Faye Correll. He was offered many football scholarships and he chose Clemson University, where he received his bachelors. After graduation, he married Dorothy and they moved to Newport News where they began their careers as dedicated educators at Warwick High School. Sonny taught history there, coached track and field, and influenced the lives of many students. He was promoted to assistant principal, earned his master's from William and Mary, and finally his doctorate from VA Tech. One of the happiest times of his career was when he served as principal of Briarfield Elementary School, where he served for many years surrounded by some of the best educators who became lifelong friends. When he retired, he was principal of Dozier Middle School. Sonny touched the lives of so many with his quiet strength, sharp humor, and his indomitable spirit. For Sonny, family was everything. He was devoted to his wife of 52 years, Dorothy Faye. When he wasn't on the golf course, he spent countless hours watching, talking about, and thinking about Clemson Football. Sonny loved his farm in the mountains of Dugspur, VA, where he spent his later days riding around the farm on the Gator with his son, Guy. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were his greatest joy. Sonny was preceded in death by his wife Dorothy, his father Swanson Crocket Quesenberry, his mother Elizabeth Amanda Wright Berkman, his brothers Grover C., James G. "Jimmy," Claude J. "Junior," and his sister Lucille Elizabeth. Left to cherish his memory are his son, Guy Jr. (Stephanie), his daughter, Harriet "Hat" (Kirk) Stevens, his grandchildren Ashleigh Marie Matthews, S. Kyle Wightman, and Shelby Raye Wightman (Wesley Clements). He also leaves behind his two great-grandchildren, Karmella Marie Ross, Odin Wesley Clements, and his beloved nephew, David Quesenberry (Danelle) along with too many friends to mention who will treasure their memories of this amazing man.3 He was born on February 6, 1936 at Pulaski Co., Virginia.2,3 He married Dorothy Faye Correll, daughter of Herman David Correll and Hazel Virginia Epperly, on June 17, 1961 at Christiansburg, Montgomery Co., Virginia.1,2,3 Guy Herbert "Sonny" Quesenberry died on March 4, 2021 at Williamsburg, Virginia, at age 85.3
