Mary Ann Ogg Simpkins, 74, passed away Saturday, August 11, 2018 at her home in Radford after a brief illness. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends. Mary Ann was active in her church and numerous social groups and was cherished for the love and compassion that she extended to everyone and everything she encountered. As a friend expressed with her passing, "Listening to the rain, it seems even nature weeps tonight for one who so revels in all its beauty and could make a stick sprout and bloom and sees the Creator in all."

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Ellenor Ogg; and her daughter, Diana Lynn Porter.
