Lana Young McVey

We are saddened to announce the passing of Lana Young McVey of Saint Albans, on Friday, September 27 2019, at Hubbard Hospice House West after a six-year battle with cancer. Lana won that battle, for she is now pain free, is able to breathe, and she is in the presence of the Lord. Lana was born on February 6, 1959, in Petaluma, California to the late Bobbie and Joan Young. Left to mourn her passing are her husband of 38 years, Greg McVey of Saint Albans, her son, Alex and his wife Haley, of Nashville, Tennessee, and her daughter, Annie of Saint Albans. No mother ever loved her children more – they were the light of her life. Lana is also survived by father-in-law, Richard McVey (Agnes, predeceased), of Elkview, sister-in-law, Beverly Fisher (Danny, predeceased) of Bowie, Maryland, brother-in-law George McVey (Elaine), of Berkeley Springs, as well as uncles, aunts, numerous cousins and friends, including the “Clendenin Girls,” with whom she has remained close friends since early childhood. Lana was a 1977 graduate of Herbert Hoover High School and a 1981 graduate of WVU, where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Lana worked as a special events coordinator for Union Mission Ministries in Charleston. In that capacity, she organized the Adopt-a-Family program which provided Christmas gifts to hundreds of children through the years. Lana was also responsible for organizing the Thanksgiving Day Drumstick Dash 5-K, which has become a yearly tradition in Charleston. Lana was a faithful member of Randolph Street Baptist Church. Visitation with the family will take place on Monday, September 30, 2019 from 6 to 8 pm at Randolph Street Baptist Church, 213 Randolph Street, Charleston, WV. Funeral service will be held on Tuesday, October 1, 2019, at 11:00 am, also at the church. Burial will be at Cunningham Memorial Park, 815 Cunningham Lane, Saint Albans. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Union Mission Ministries or to the American Cancer Society.

Bartlett-Nichols Funeral Home, family owned and located at 409 Sixth Avenue, Saint Albans, is honored to serve the McVey family.
