"Her children arise up and call her Blessed, her husband also, and he praiseth her." – Proverbs 31:28
NORTON, Va. – Delsie Bernice (Snooky) Boggs, 67, a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus, left the cares of this world on March 25, 2008, at the Johnson City Medical Center in Johnson City, Tenn.
Snooky dedicated her life to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, loving and caring for hurting people with broken hearts and broken lives. Her labor of love was praying for the lost. She attended and supported many local churches, including Kellyview FWB, Brian's Chapel, Appalachia Pentecostal, Freedom of Worship, West Norton Church, Binghamtown Baptist Church in Middlesboro, Ky., and Haven of Praise in Appalachia, Va.
Waiting on her in her heavenly home will be her parents, Burley and Faye Parsons, and her beloved brother, Mark Parsons.

Celebration of her life will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 27, 2008, with songs of praise and worship at the Sturgill Funeral Home Chapel in Wise, Va., with Pastor Glenn Ritchie officiating. The family will receive friends from 5 p.m. until time of services at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Sturgill Funeral Home in Wise.

Dear friends, I am sorry for your loss and sorry that my sister and I did not know sooner. Mrs. Boggs had the tenderest heart and her kindness will always be remembered. Her passing is a great loss for you and our area; but, I take great joy in considering her happiest of smiles in heaven. If you can see anyone there, it is our deal friend. God bless you at this time and always.

DELSIE WAS A VERY PRECIOUS LADY AND A MIGHTY WOMAN OF GOD. I KNOW THAT SHE IS IN THE ARMS OF JESUS AND CAN NOW REST FOR ETERNITY. I THANK GOD FOR ALLOWING ME THE CHANCE TO KNOW HER. MAY GOD COMFORT HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS, BUT KNOW THAT SHE IS IN PARADISE.

Dear Family - I was going through some books earlier in the month and saw Mrs. Boggs phone number - and I thought of how kind she was to my daughter during a difficult time in her life - Mrs. Boggs work has not gone un-noticed by our heavenly Father - thanks for sharing her with us. Our prayers and thoughts are with you!
