Alice Faye Lester
June 5, 1948 - February 20, 2022
"Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 Alice Faye Lester, age 73 of Tazewell, VA left her earthly home on Sunday, February 20, 2022 at Heritage Hall Health Care in Tazewell, VA surrounded by her loved ones. She was born June 5, 1948 in Princeton, WV and was a daughter, the youngest of a set of triplets and the youngest of the nine children born to the late Marvin and Gladys Matheny Rash. To have known Alice was to love her. What she lacked in height she made up for in her spunky personality. Alice loved gathering with her family and taking care of others, especially if it meant she could cook for you. She loved dogs, flowers and jewelry, but was a collector of many things. Although Alice is no longer here with us on Earth, her memory will live on. She was a loving wife, mother, aunt, grandmother and great-grandmother, to many people even if they were not family. She will be missed dearly by her family and friends, but there is peace in knowing she has found eternity in Heaven. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by several of her siblings. Those who survive to cherish her memory include her husband of over forty-eight years, Joe Lester; sons, James, Calvin, Jody and Timmy; daughters, Ruth and Becky; two sisters, Kay and Gail; a host of nieces, nephews, other family members and friends also survive. Alice's family would like to send a sincere thank you to the staff of Heritage Hall in Tazewell. The care that Alice received there was amazing and a true blessing. So many staff members went above and beyond to make Alice and her family comfortable. Graveside Services for Mrs. Lester, will be conducted at 2:00 p.m. Friday, March 4, 2022 at the Clinch Valley Memorial Cemetery in Richlands, VA.
