Obituary for Edith Duncan Sloan
Edith Duncan “Maw” Sloan, 88, of Salem, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 3, 2022.
Born in New Castle, Virginia, on November 10, 1933, to the late Walter and Irene Duncan, she was also preceded in death by her loving husband, John W. Sloan, and her sister, Thelma Crawford.
Anyone who knew Edith would say that while she was fiercely independent, she had such a sweet disposition. She was generous, selfless, and full of grace and loved to help anyone in need. Maw greatly enjoyed spending time with her family and her much loved and very spoiled cats. She enjoyed the outdoors and loved working in her yard. Edith retired from G.E. after 20 plus years of service and later worked for the Salem Times Register. She was a longtime member of First Christian Church in Salem and also an honorary member of Greenhill Church of the Brethren in Salem.
Those left to cherish in her memory include her daughters, Lisa Dooley and Angie Holshouser, and husband, Kevin; grandchildren, Cameron Holshouser and finance’ Sarah D’Ascenzo, Luke Dooley, Kelsey Dooley Patterson, and husband, Hunter and Miranda Holshouser; sister-in-law; Katrina Edwards; special family friend, Bobby Holshouser; numerous nieces and nephews, as well as her beloved cats.
The family will welcome friends on Thursday, May 5, 2022, from 6:00 p.m. -- 8:00 p.m. at the John M. Oakey & Son Funeral Home, in Salem. Funeral services will be conducted Friday, May 6th, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. in the funeral home chapel with Pastor Dan Netting officiating. A graveside gathering to follow at Huffman Memorial Park on Cumberland Gap Road in New Castle, Virginia.
While flowers are welcome, Maw asked to consider memorial donations to the Salem Animal Shelter, 1301 Indiana Street, Salem, Virginia 24153. Special thank you to both Dr. Bryant’s and staff at the Salem Animal Hospital for their compassion and caring throughout the years. Also, the family is very grateful to Dr. Roy Habib and Dr. Eric Williams for their kindness and exceptional care in treating our mom over the years.
