Greta Catherine Lehman

Greta Catherine Lehman, age 84 of Moorefield, WV, passed away Sunday morning, August 4, 2024, at her residence. Born on January 19, 1940, in Moorefield, WV, she was the daughter of the late Curtis Leroy Hepner and Ina Rhea “Rea” Cleaver Hepner. She was preceded in death by a son, Gregory Sloan Branson; sisters, Judith “Judy” Judy and Wilda “Woodie” Hogbin. Greta was a member of Baker’s Chapel Church near Moorefield and the dedication to her family, love for genealogy, and passion for sports were beacons of light in her life. Greta was known for her impeccable penmanship, a skill that earned her the regional penmanship award during her high school years in the county.

Greta cherished her family above all else, finding immense joy in the moments spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her love for the Yankees and her family's sporting events showcased her unwavering support and dedication. A retiree of American Woodmark where she devoted 33 years, she exemplified perseverance and commitment in all aspects of her life. She so loved those annual trips to the bay, again with her family. She and Lee would travel through West Virginia every fall to revel in the beauty of their state.

Those left to cherish her memory is her husband, Lee Edmund Lehman; daughters, Wendy (Chuck) Adkins & Gina (John) Livengood of Moorefield, WV; a son, John David Branson, II of Moorefield, WV; brothers, Curtis “Buck” Hepner Jr. of Enfield, CT, and John M. “Mike” (Becky) Hepner of Ooltewah, TN ; grandchildren, Chelsi (Jared) Wratchford, Joshua Branson, Marcus (Jordan) Weese, McKenzie Weese, Morgan Branson, Logan (Mary) Branson, Rylee Branson and great-grandchildren, Julia & Jace Wratchford, Roosevelt & Holder Weese, Bray Branson and Carter Joy.

A Celebration of Life will be held 2:00 PM Saturday, October 12, 2024, at the Fraley Funeral Home Chapel, 107 Washington Street with Chris Whetzel officiant.
