George Edgar Markley "Sonny" our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather left this earth on December 24, 2014 at 2:00 am at the age of 75. The son of the late Floyd and Beulah Markley of Belington, WV, he retired from the Veterans' Administration Hospital in Hampton. He was preceded in death by two sons, David and Donnie Markley of Hampton and his mother-in-law, Adelene Stalnaker of West Virginia. George is survived by his wife of 53 years, Sandra Stalnaker Markley; his daughter, Jodi Moreno and her husband, Carlos; granddaughter, Amanda Barney and her husband, Tyler; grandson, Cory Moreno; great-granddaughter, Brooke Meadow Barney; three brothers, Gary Markley and his wife, Mary and Larry Markley of Virginia and Randy Markley and his wife, Carmen of Belington, WV; and a sister, Sheila Starr and her husband, Steve of Virginia. Sonny never met a stranger. He loved life and his family so much that he held on to them with all his might. This world lost the most amazing man you would ever meet. He was always the clown you wanted around to keep family gatherings full of fun and laughter. He always did the unexpected. There will be a private service at a later date.
