It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Minervia Pelphrey (Paintsville, Kentucky), who passed away on April 23, 2020, at the age of 88, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Minervia Pelphrey to show support.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Johnny Davis and Mattie Davis; her husband Elder John R. Pelphrey; her children, Benny Allen Pelphrey and Diann Johnson; and her sisters, Ella Frances Giordano and Helen Picklesimer.

She is survived by: her sister Herma Ward (Alcus) of Findlay, OH.; and her children, Glenard Pelphrey (Sandy) of Garrettsville, OH, Joe Pelphrey (Susie) of Middleburg, FL and Alfred Pelphrey of Lexington, KY.. She is also survived by four nieces, two nephews, several great nieces and nephews, and countless church friends.
