Loeda Stiefel Black, 81 of Rainsville passed away peacefully on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 22, 2020. Loeda was laid to rest at Mountain View Memory Gardens.
Loeda was known to many as Maw-maw, Sissy and Sister Black. She went to Fyffe High School, retired from a career at Sola Electric and was a lifelong member of Plainview Church of God. Loeda was well known for her devotion to Jesus Christ, a loving ministry to others, her immense pride in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. As well as her comforting country cooking and love for feeding everyone who entered her home. Favorites were biscuits and gravy, cakes and her Thanksgiving dinners.
She is survived by her children, Bahallah (Herb) Newton, Tommy (Sherrie) Black, Tonja (Marty) Hayes, Jan Hilton; grandchildren, Jim (Emerald) Little, Jake Newton, Jeremy (Morgan) Black, Brittany (Brice) Burkhalter, Jerrica Simpson, Miranda (Jesh) Yancey; great-grandchildren, Zada Simpson, Keller Black; brother, Harvey Stiefel; sister, Joy (Dennis) Mitchell; many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her husband, John Frank Black; son, Tony Dexter Black; grandson, Joshua Black; many other beloved family members, with whom she is now reunited in heaven.
In lieu of flowers, Loeda would have loved nothing more than contributions to her great-grandchildrens’ college funds at First State Bank in Rainsville.
