Fonda Opal Heath Pumphrey
Fonda Opal Heath Pumphrey, 93, of 4030 Indian Fork Road, Orlando, departed this life at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Friday, December 14, 2007, at her home.
Fonda was born on March 11, 1914, a daughter of the late Charles Bates Heath and Amanda Mae Bond Heath, in Lewis County.
On June 9, 1932, she was united in marriage to Alvin J. Pumphrey, who preceded her in death in June 1985.
Surviving are two grandchildren: grandson, Robert P. Pumphrey II of Indian Fork Road and granddaughter, Robin Lynn Pumphrey, also of Indian Fork Road; one sister, Rena P. Heath Pumphrey, Indian Fork Road; a special nephew, Earnest "Cliff" Wine, her caregiver and faithful friend; several other nieces and nephews; and many other special friends.
In addition to her parents and husband, Fonda was preceded in death by her only son, Robert Parker Pumphrey; four brothers, Oliver Herbert Heath, Alton Parker Heath and two infant brothers; and one sister, Frena Heath Wine.
Fonda was the oldest member of the Blackburn United Methodist Church. She loved her church and was a faithful supporter of her faith. She loved gardening, sewing, singing, working puzzles and entertaining the many who came to visit. She gave the Pine Run Schoolhouse to Cedar Creek State Park to which it was moved and restored. It stands today, in a prominent spot, as a tribute to the one-room schools of a by-gone era, thanks to her gift.
Friends may call from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, December 19, at Boyle Funeral Home of Weston. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday from the Boyle Funeral Home Chapel with Reverend Roy Wiant officiating. Interment will follow in the Pumphrey Cemetery, Indian Fork Road, Orlando.
