Nancy Estaline (Hazlewood) Straub

She was preceded in death by her husband and love of her life, William R. Straub Sr.; sisters, Gypsy Feazell, Maxine Stover, Polly Painter, Norma Buteau; brother, David Hazlewood and grandson, Joseph Dotterweich.

She is survived by her daughter, Ann Dotterweich and husband Milt of Fayetteville; her son, William R. Straub Jr. and wife Debbie of Daniels; grandchildren, Rob Dotterweich and wife Jennifer, Andy Dotterweich and Rebekah Straub; great grandchildren, Max, Logan, Olivia, Turner and Carter Dotterweich and several nieces and nephews.

She is also leaving behind a very special bond with her eight loyal and attentive caregivers.

Nancy was a graduate of Oak Hill High School and obtained a secretarial degree from Beckley College.

Bill and Nancy moved to Beckley in 1953 and Nancy became the office manager for Bill’s State Farm Insurance Agency.

A Christian, Nancy was a member of the United Methodist Temple for 67 years where she served in many capacities including President of the United Methodist Women, circle leader, youth leader, teacher, Sunday School Superintendent and administration positions. Church and family were the joys of her life.

She and Bill believed that faith holds a family together when all else fails.

Nancy was very active in Girl Scouts taking her troops on many different camping trips as far away as Washington, DC. In the summer of 1965 she represented WV at the International Girl Scout Roundup in Idaho where she served as the head banker. Nancy was also involved with Bill in many civic activities.

Nancy’s hands were rarely still as she loved sewing, knitting, baking, canning and crafting. Her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren all have received blankets, afghans and clothing. Never a Christmas went by without her sharing shortbread with friends and family.

She was loving, generous and a joy to all who knew her and as one caregiver said, “She was a life changer.” She will be greatly missed.

There will be no visitation and a Memorial Service for the family only will be held at the United Methodist Temple. Anyone wanting to join the family in worship can participate via Facebook Live on the United Methodist Temple Beckley, WV Facebook page.

In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the United Methodist Temple Outreach Feeding Ministries- 201 Templeview Dr., Beckley, WV 25801.
