In her spare time, she enjoyed following politics. In January of 1964, she married Archie Andrew Via, who died on December 10, 1995. Survivors include her two sons, William “Bill” Via and wife Jodi, of Danville, VA, and Cort Via and wife Beth, of Charlotte, NC; two granddaughters, Olivia Brock and husband Chris, and Madison Via; four grandsons, Andrew, Brady, Ethan, and Joshua Via; a brother, Art Matson; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by a sister, Penny Hoffman. Funeral services will be conducted on Wednesday, January 16, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at Fairview United Methodist Church with the Reverend Jennifer Coffey officiating. Interment will follow the service in Union Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, 735 Union Church Rd, Ferrum, VA, 24088.
