Archie Sumner Obituary
Born in Christiansburg, VA, on January 26, 1970, to the late Archie and Phyllis Sumner, Archie was a lifelong resident of the New River Valley. He was a graduate of Christiansburg High School and furthered his education at New River Valley Community College, where he earned several business certificates. He dedicated many years to his work at the Volvo Trucks Valley plant in Dublin before his retirement and was a faithful member of Fairlawn Church of God.
