Glen “Pappy” Nicholas
Glen “Pappy” Nicholas, 76, of Frametown went home to be with Jesus on Wednesday, March 15, 2023. He was born on January 28, 1947 in Wilsie.
He was met at Heaven’s gate by his parents, Harry Scott Nicholas and Cotha Carr Nicholas; his wife, Lillie Mae Johnson Nicholas; his sisters, Elsie “Sue” Buchanan and Grace Gooch; brother, Charles Nicholas; brothers-in- law, James “Jim” Buchanan and Gene Gooch; and his niece, Suzie Wilmoth.
Glen was a 1964 graduate from Gassaway High School. He volunteered to join the United States Air Force in 1965. In 1967 he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. He earned the Vietnam Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Small Arms Expert Marksman Ribbon before his honorable discharge in 1969.
He was a devoted member of the Belfont Simpson Church for nearly 50 years. His relationship with God was always evident to those around him. He loved his little white church and his wonderful church family.
Glen retired from Pletcher Pontiac after 20+ years of service. After retirement, he was able to resume volunteering at the Frametown Fire Department, of which, he was a founding member. He had much pride and joy in the department and its members who quickly became part of his “fire family”. Even though he was unable to go out on calls, he remained very active with the department and seldom missed a meeting. At the time of his passing, he was the Assistant Fire Chief.
Glen led a life of service, sacrifice and devotion to his family, country, church and community. When asked, “What made him decide to resume firefighting?” he replied, “A lot of the members work and can’t always leave for a call; I saw a need and I could fill it.”
He will be missed by all three of his families, friends and neighbors. Glen touched the lives of each person he walked with in this life.
Left to cherish his memory are his six children; Patty Davis Chapman, Mike Davis and wife, Bernie; Linda Davis Jackson and husband Jack; Deborah Davis Rymer and husband, Stanley; Nickey Nicholas Collins and husband Brian; Austin Glen “AG” Nicholas II and wife, Jennifer. He is also survived by 11 grandchildren; 21 great grandchildren, and several cats.

Carolyn Ellen Morton Stover
Carolyn Ellen Morton Stover passed away peacefully at Hubbard Hospice House on Thursday, February 16, 2023 after a brief illness. She was 90 years old. Carolyn was born on June 27, 1932 in Sutton, WV to Marco and Ruth Morton of Morton’s Orchard. She had four siblings, Ann Morton Davis, Peter Morton, Seth Morton, and Dan Morton.
Carolyn attended local schools in Sutton and graduated from West Virginia University with a degree in Medical Technology. She moved to Charleston, WV to pursue a career as a medical technologist at Kanawha Valley Hospital in their Medical Laboratory. She was eventually promoted to Laboratory Director until her retirement. During her early days at Kanawha Valley Hospital, Carolyn met her future husband, Calvin C. Stover. They were married for 54 years until Calvin’s death in 2008.
Carolyn and Calvin settled in Dunbar, WV and had two children, Paula and Jay. In addition to her family and career, Carolyn loved animals, nature, and adventure. The family enjoyed traveling, spending time on the river, and family gatherings. She and Calvin and her children frequently visited the Morton family farm and orchards throughout her adult life. In the late 1970’s, Carolyn and Cal built a home near her parents’ farm in Sutton and they eventually moved there full time. Carolyn embraced country life and kept a garden, tended her flowers, fished, hunted for turkey and deer, and even learned to do her own taxidermy. She enjoyed going on 4-wheeler rides with friends through the hills and hollers, riding her horse Windy, and spending time with her dogs and other assorted pets. During recent years, Carolyn looked forward to weekly card games with her sister, Ann, and her friends, the Utts, the Elonis family, the Manganos, and the Barkers.
Carolyn was an active member of Rebecca Littlepage Presbyterian Church in Charleston. The church membership then moved to Riverview Presbyterian Church, where Carolyn and Cal worshiped for many years. Later they became members of the Wayside Church in Sutton, where Carolyn developed close ties with her church family.

Robert R. Berry
Robert R. Berry passed away on Wednesday, February 8 at his home in Randolph with family by his side. He was 65.
A loving father to two girls, devoted husband, and friend to anyone who was up for a conversation, Robert affectionately known as Bob or “Mr. Bob” to the neighborhood kids—loved life and lived every minute to experience the joy around him.
He was born in Sutton, WV, on July 3, 1957, the son of John L. and Treva (White) Berry. Bob spent many summers on his grandparents’ farm, learning the ins and outs of gardening and being self-sufficient. He studied at West Virginia University before starting a career in construction.
It was during this time he met his wife, Debra, who he “spotted from a hundred yards away”—and knew she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. The two married in 1982 and enjoyed camping along the East Coast and visiting National Parks, before eventually settling down in Randolph to raise a family.
Bob was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in his 30s. Despite this, his spirit and love for his family kept him active.
He never let his disease define him or hold him back but embraced it as an opportunity to take care of—and spend time with—his daughters as a stay-at-home dad, which was the greatest joy of his life.
Bob volunteered at the former T.C. Hamlin Elementary School and participated in Big Brothers Big Sisters. He was always happy to lend a hand, be it on how to fix or build just about anything and found joy in sharing his knowledge.
Also, an avid green thumb, Bob was known for his bountiful vegetable gardens and towering sunflowers. He loved canning, listening to classic rock (often at the highest possible volume) and WVU Mountaineer football.
Bob was a member of the First Baptist Church of Gardiner where he was the Treasurer for several years and a Life[1]Time Trustee. He enjoyed the church community and made many close friends, whom he cherished deeply.
In recent years, Bob tried his hand at adaptive skiing at Sunday River and soaked up the sun in Casco Bay on The Impossible Dream, a sailboat made accessible for people with limited mobility. During summertime, he could be found at the Gardiner Waterfront, listening to live music with Debra, or scooting around the neighborhood with his dog Buddy by his side. He was a man who knew how to make the most of each day he was given and seized every opportunity to have a “far-out” time.
Robert is survived by his wife Debra (Edwards) Berry; his daughters Rebecca Berry and husband Dean Spencer, and Erica Berry and husband Kyle Gahm; his brothers Steven Berry and wife Karen, and John D. Berry and wife Jennifer, and sister MaryAnn Wilmoth and husband Mark; as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins.
He is predeceased by his parents.
Services will be held on June 10, 2023, at First Baptist Church of Gardiner. Times to be announced.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Maine General Health to benefit Hospice at give.mainegeneral.org
