Jean Blevins Obituary
December 17, 1933 - October 28, 2022
Jean Price Blevins, 88, of Cripple Creek, Va., passed away peacefully on Friday, October 28, 2022.
She was born on December 17, 1933, in Wytheville, Va., but has called Cripple Creek her home for 70 years. Jean was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great great-grandmother. She was a staple in the Cripple Creek community and loved sitting on her front porch and talking to neighbors. She was a wonderful homemaker who sewed and baked for many people through the years. She was never idle and found peace and joy with random projects, yardwork and feeding the birds. She never met a stranger and would happily talk to anyone who stopped by for a chat or to get information about the Cripple Creek community.
Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Samuel H. Blevins Sr.; daughter, Vicki Anderson; parents, Roy and Louise Price; sister, Dorothy Jones; son-in-law, Roger Wohlford; granddaughter, Taylor Adkins; great-grandson, Preston Blevins and great-granddaughter, Emily Wohlford.

Blevins Jr. of Easton, Md.; daughters and son-in-law, Rebecca Wohlford, of Speedwell and Paula and Keith Adkins, of Winston, Ga.; five grandchildren, Christy Wohlford, Sarah Wohlford, Markus Harris, Matthew Harris and Luke Blevins; six great-grandchildren, Kayla Wohlford, Kara Wohlford, Brandon Wohlford, Devon Jonas, Waylon Harris and Jordan Bell; two great-great-grandchildren, Alice Brenchley and Kailynne Alford; many nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends. She is also survived by her constant companion, her loving dog, Lucy.

I only saw her a few times, but I could tell she was a wonderful person. She was caring, kind and had a great personality. May God bless your family .

I always felt right at home whenever I visited the Blevins' house, even the first time I was there. Mrs. Jean was kind, funny and a pleasure to be around, not to mention a fantastic cook. Certainly a life well-lived! Sending out thoughts and prayers for the whole Blevins family!
