Reveille Annslyi Edward Groat Obituary (2025 - 2025)

~Now she flies with Butterflies... It is with immense pride and unfathomable pain that we announce both the birth, and passing, of our sweet and beautiful daughter, Rae. Reveille Annslyi Edward Groat was born, sleeping, on April 14th, 2025. Though what time we got to have with her was incredibly short, her shining spirit and bright soul will live on all around us; in the touch of the wind, in the twinkling of the stars above, and in the simple beat of a butterfly's wings. Reveille leaves behind her adoring and heartbroken parents, Randy (Jr) and Heathen Groat; her brother and sisters Randy (III), Remember, and Rainbow Groat; her 'Sei-Sei' Stacey Stone; her grandmother Heather Vangilder, and great-grandmother Judy Wolfe; her aunts and uncles Britanny Whetsell, Amanda Shaffer, Brandon Groat and Heaven Manning, Ramona Groat, Katie McAtee, and Tommy (II) and Carol Thomas; as well as numerous doting cousins and friends. And a special mention to Gail Rock, our gentle hearted midwife who helped guide us through this darkness. Blessed beyond words for her presence. Rae was preceded in death by her grandmother Shelley Thomas, great-grandmother Judith Baker, her grandfathers Randy Groat Sr., and Charles Hester, and her baby cousin Braidon Masters. "Each life leaves a unique legacy, Embossed upon our hearts. A touch that lingers on and on, When time has come to part. Memories like fingerprints, Leave a special place. Knitted to the people, That time cannot erase. They live forever in our hearts, As time continues on. In memories of days gone by, We still shared a special bond. That bond cannot be broken, Even death can’t separate. A touch that lives forever, Time cannot erase." -Sherrie Bradley Grubb Please hold your loved ones close in memory of our perfect angel and give our family grace as we navigate this strange new life scarred with grief. ...Too beautiful for Earth~ Smith Funeral and Cremation Care and SFCC Crematory of Westover (304-293-9494) is providing compassionate professional services to the family.
