NEWPORT NEWS -
Jane Piazza Roy passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 10, 2020. The
family considered it a beautiful blessing to be with her during her final
hours, especially considering the Covid-19 restrictions of the last six
months. After graduating, Jane went to work for the C&P Telephone Company. As fate would have it, in 1947 she met the love of her life, Valley K. Roy, Jr. They married on May 8, 1948, and their love story would continue for a lifetime. Jane and Valley had three children, Pam, Carl and Beth. The children would agree that Jane was the epitome of motherhood, and that they were the "center of her heart" and the focus of her life. Jane was extremely artistic, creative, and had a flair for fashion (especially when it came to shoes). As her family would attest, Jane took tremendous pride in keeping a neat and immaculate home. |

In 2005,
Jane and Valley entered the Chesapeake
Retirement Community. Sadly, in her later years, Jane developed
Alzheimer's. Our family is so appreciative for the outstanding care and
compassion our mother received from the entire staff in Memory Support and
Healthcare. Their kindness will never be forgotten.
She leaves
behind to cherish her memory, her daughter, Pamela Roy Soddu (Tony) of
Midlothian; son, Dr. Carl Piazza Roy (Laura) of Virginia Beach; daughter,
Elizabeth Roy Scruggs of Newport News; grandchildren, Courtney Parezo (Jamin),
Hunter Bryant (Kitty), Jay Scruggs (Cassie), James Scruggs (Kari), Meredythe
Roy (Evan Walker), and Taylor Roy; great-grandchildren, Hugh, Graham, Ella,
Paisley, Parker, Zach, and Sam; sister-in-law, Janett Piazza; and many
nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Arrangements are under the care of Peninsula Funeral Home, 11144 Warwick
Blvd., Newport News, VA 23601. View and post

1. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2. Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4. Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
“Return, ye sons of men”:
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again.
5. A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
6. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood,
And lost in foll’wing years.
7. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.
8. Like flow’ry fields the nations stand
Pleased with the morning light;
The flow’rs beneath the mower’s hand
Lie with’ring ere ’tis night.
9. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
