Sylvia Ann was the best mother that anyone could ask for. She will be remembered by many as a Sunday School Teacher, Bible Drill Coach, Homemaker, and an extremely hard worker and provider for her family. Mrs. Pogue worked as an office manager for many years for various local businesses. She loved crocheting, ceramics, and other crafts in her spare time in retirement years. Mrs. Pogue loved traveling especially to the Mountains. She and Mr. Leonard also enjoyed Bluegrass Music and camping. She was a wise lady beyond her years, a softspoken, gentle spirit; she was never one to be in the spotlight, always working behind the scenes, making sure things were carried out. She was a virtuous Proverbs 31 woman. Her grandchildren saw her as the sweetest, most selfless wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was a faithful member of Midway Baptist Church and enjoyed serving on various mission trips through the years. Mrs. Sylvia Ann was a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and made sure to guide her family to the Lord; because of her prayer life and faithfulness, her family are servants of Jesus.

Mrs. Pogue is survived by her husband of 70 years, Leonard Pogue; children, Debbie Boles (Mike), Glenn Pogue (Melissa), Kenny Pogue (Jamie), and Tim Pogue (Leigh). Grandchildren Jonathan Boles (Kylie) and Daniel Boles (Julie); Jessica Bonner (Andrew), Michael Pogue (April), Aubrey Pogue (Carolyn), and Emily Ruedas (Jose); Aaron Pogue (Courtney), David Pogue (Ashley), and Jeremy Pogue (Lauren); Tyler Pogue (Elise), Nick Pogue (Holli), and Meagan Adair (Adam); 26 great-grandchildren and three on the way.  Siblings, Julian “Sonny” Williamson (Betty Ann) and Patsy Stewart, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
