DECEMBER 30 – Eleanor Blackwell Walton, of Farmville, was granted her angel wings on Wednesday, December 29, 2010. She was born on July 10, 1922 in Appomattox, the daughter of the late Everett Wilson Blackwell and Nannie Victoria Smith Blackwell.

She was married to the late William (Bill) Walton, the love of her life, and was a devoted and caring mother who loved being surrounded by her family and friends.

Her family fittingly referred to her as “The Queen.” She was a member of Heritage Baptist Church and served as a senior regent for the Farmville Moose Lodge. Her hobbies included embroidery, planting flowers, and working word puzzles.

She is survived by a sister, Hilda Shrock and husband, Dale of Appomattox; children, Billy Justice and wife, Barbara of Madison Heights; Jean Notestein and husband, Dave of Appomattox; Carol Dalton and husband, Sonny of Powhatan; Brenda Ferguson and husband, Donnie of Farmville; and Wanda Hollowell and husband, Roy of Williamsburg; grandchildren, Ricky Justice, Tim Justice, Danny Notestein, Kim Mullins, Karen Andrews, Kristi Gordan, JJ Justice, Randy Ferguson, Ashley Ferguson, Kindall Hollowell and Adam Hollowell; and 17 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a son, Jerry Justice.

Nothing made her happier than to have her family filling her home.

The family will receive friends from 12:30-2 p.m. on Saturday, January 1, at Puckett Funeral Home, with funeral services to follow at 2:30 p.m. in the chapel. Interment will be at Trinity Memorial Gardens, Rice.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Farmville Rescue Squad.

Puckett Funeral Home, Farmville, is serving the family.
