Gary D. Rhodes, 71, of Duck, West Virginia, passed away on January 5, 2022, at the United Hospital Center from complications due to cancer. He was born to the late Floyd Earl and Zelda (Wilson) Rhodes on February 5, 1950 in Tesla, W.Va., where he enjoyed a happy childhood on a small family farm in a close-knit community of extended family and friends.
He graduated from Sutton High School in 1968 where he played drums in the band; the school mascot he painted on the bass drum is still displayed at alumni events.
Following high school, he proudly served our country in the U.S. Army in Vietnam. After returning from his tour in Vietnam, Gary completed his military duty in Fort Sill, OK and returned to Braxton County. He worked briefly on construction of I-79, but found his niche in the trucking industry. He began driving with his father-in law, Arthur Lambert in the limestone business. He later became a petroleum tanker driver for Heater Oil Company (now Go-Mart), then on to become an over the road driver for Smith Transfer in Belle, WV. He returned to tanker driving for Union Carbide, Linde Division in 1978. Gary spent 30 years as a professional driver earning the prestigious National Safety Council Award for 2 million accident- free miles. He was a member of Teamsters Local 175 and a Baptist by faith.
Gary was a loving and supportive son, husband, father, grandfather and brother and a loyal friend. He had an easy-going and caring personality and a quick wit – a mischievous grin and a twinkling eye usually indicated that a witty remark was headed your way. His pastimes included listening to classic country music, watching major league baseball (New York Yankees), classic cars (his 1965 Comet), and watching Gunsmoke. He also enjoyed many family vacations on Topsail Island, NC.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Debra L. Webster, and his grandson, Benjamin Dale Rhodes.
He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Patsy Lambert Rhodes; son, Michael Rhodes (Christy) of Pittsburgh, PA; daughters, Jessica Malone (Ryan) of St. Marys, WV, and Julie Rhodes of Duck; sisters, Marilee Bright of Sutton and Starla Jarrell (Dennis) of Gassaway; grandchildren: Logan Malone, Natalie Malone and Eddie Rhodes, as well as members of the extended Rhodes/Wilson and Lambert/Hardway families.
A family graveside service, with military rites conducted by the American Legion Post 33, took place on January 8 at Braxton Memorial Cemetery. Rev. Linn Schiefer officiated the service.
Greene-Robertson Funeral Home is humbled to serve the Rhodes Family.

Violet Arbogast Lake Cogar passed away Wednesday morning January 5, 2022 with family by her side. Violet was born August 5, 1941 in Caress, West Virginia to the late Murriel and Darrel Arbogast. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her first husband Willard Clenley Lake, sister Velma Crist Post, brother Larry Arbogast, husband Samuel Cogar, and her son Willard Creed Lake
Violet embodied the traits of the antiques she collected over the years. She was a beauty, a rarity, a woman of unique quality and features. In short, she was a treasure. Violet had a way of making everything beautiful – whether pruning her flowers, arranging her dishes, or making clothes that rivaled any catalogue back in the seventies.
She also had a way of making everything delicious. Violet was a gourmet cook before being a chef was popular. She fed her family and the people of Braxton County with her delectable dishes – from the elite supper club diners to the children of Braxton County Middle School where she retired. She also fed us with words of wisdom whenever she spoke as eloquently and profoundly as the books she devoured. She was an avid reader.
She always said about her beloved Fostoria American glass, “Make sure you get the pieces with sharp glass so you know it’s authentic”. Violet was a most authentic woman – a true original. Like her precious glass, she was also the sharpest woman. She was so smart she skipped grades in school and graduated high school at 16. Violet was also well traveled. She spent time in Canada as a young mother, and visited her daughters and grandchildren in Florida, New Mexico, Oregon, and Colorado, as well as taking numerous trips across the country. She was the constant for her sons wherever they were in life.
Violet was beloved by many family members and friends. Her life was hard in so many ways, but she was forever soft, sweet, compassionate and always reaching out to help her family. Her children and grandchildren often teased her about being her “favorite”. Her answer was always “I have no favorites. Just sometimes one may need my attention more than others”. We will miss her attention, her spirit, and her unconditional love. Her legacy will live on through her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
