Janet Sue Marshall Mahan

Janet Sue Marshall Mahan, 88, of Parkersburg, WV, died Saturday, July 11, 2026, at Eagle Pointe Nursing Home. She was a lifelong resident of Parkersburg; born the oldest daughter of the late Arthur “Bud” and Lottie Atkinson Piggott. Besides her parents she was preceded in death by her first husband of 56 years, Ronald “Pete” Marshall; two daughters, Rhonda Wigal and Pamela Wilson; her first grandchild, Rheannon Wingrove; her second husband of 14 years, Raymond Mahan; a stepson, Gary Mahan, and three brothers, Jimmy, Bobby, and Jerry Piggott.

“Sue” was a devoted wife and mother first and foremost. Her resourcefulness and creative spirit provided her the skills to see that her family was cared for and knew they were loved. Sue supplemented the family income for several years as a skilled upholsterer having some of her work on display in the Blennerhassett Mansion. She enjoyed crocheting, crafts, dot to dot, and working puzzles. She was a member of the North End Church of Christ.

Sue is survived by her two daughters, Carla Kirkpatrick; Sally (Jeff) McHenry, and a son, David (DeLeah) Marshall; two stepdaughters, Sonya Royse and Teresa Byers; two brothers, Tommy and Michael Piggott; three sisters, Barbara Hoover, Ruth Ann Huffman, and Nancy McCoy; eight grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the caregivers, family, and friends who supported Sue during her final days.

In keeping with her wishes there will be no viewing, no formal service. Instead, her children invite close family and friends to join them for an informal gathering to reminisce and celebrate her life and legacy on Tuesday, July 14 at North End Church of Christ from 4:00 – 7:00 PM.
