Lois Ann

(Winebarger) Couch

Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." 

Lois Ann Couch, age 66, passed away on November 7, 2026. Originally from Coeburn, Virginia, Lois will be remembered for her kind heart, her loving spirit, and the countless lives she touched throughout her lifetime. 

To her children and grandchildren, she was lovingly known as "Nana," a name that represented so much more than a grandmother. Lois had a heart for caring for others and spent much of her life looking after the people she loved. Throughout her life, she also cared for many children, giving them kindness, comfort, and love along the way. She had a special gift for making others feel safe, welcome, and cared for. Whether it was offering a helping hand, preparing a home-cooked meal, or sharing her love through the things she made, she had a special way of making people feel cared for. 

She found joy in cooking and sewing, but her greatest gift was the love she gave so freely to her family and those around her. In her final days, Lois was surrounded by the love and care of her sons, Carson and Scott, and her daughter-in-law, Lisa, who lovingly cared for her during that time. Their devotion and presence were a reflection of the love Lois had spent her lifetime giving to others. 

Lois was preceded in death by her former husband and lifelong friend, Carson Couch; her father, Leroy Winebarger; her mother, Burita Winebarger; her brothers, Albert Winebarger, Bobby Winebarger, Stevie Winebarger, and Dave Winebarger. 

Those left to cherish her memory are her sons, Carson Couch and Scott Couch and his wife, Lisa Couch; her beloved grandchildren, Ashlyn Couch, Rowan Couch, Gauge Williams, Axel Dingus, and Ryker Dingus; her brothers, Roy Lee Salyers, Danny Winebarger, and Jimmy Winebarger; and her sisters, Nancy Jessee and Kitty Coleman. She also leaves behind many extended family members and loved ones whose lives were made better by knowing her. 

Though her family will deeply miss her presence, the love Lois shared will live on through the memories she created, the people she cared for, and the family she cherished so dearly. She will forever be loved, forever missed, and always remembered as Nana. Her hands may have grown tired, but the love she gave will never fade.

The family will have a private burial of their beloved mother, she will be laid to rest in the Couch Family Cemetery on Banner Mountain. 

Family and friends will serve as pallbearers.
