Billy Lee Poffenberger

Billy Lee Poffenberger, 85, of Morgantown, passed away Sunday, August 30, 2026, following a short illness.

He was born September 22, 1940, in Delbarton, WV, a son of the late Nunley and Jessie Varney Poffenberger.

Billy was a 1958 graduate of Burch High School in Mingo County, West Virginia, and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from the West Virginia University School of Engineering. He spent much of his career as an engineer with CONSOL before later working for EG&G, a Department of Energy contractor, from which he retired.

Away from work, Billy enjoyed spending time at his farm in Core, where he gardened and enjoyed being outdoors. His garden often produced more than he needed, and he was happy to share the harvest with family, friends, and neighbors.

He and his wife, Pat, were also active supporters of the local humane society and shared a love for animals. Billy was a talented woodworker and mechanic who enjoyed working with his hands and could often be found building, repairing, or tending to something around the farm.

He is survived by his son, Alan Poffenberger, and wife Traci; his daughter, Lisa Poffenberger; two grandchildren, Paige Cook and her husband, Brandon, and Carson Poffenberger; and his brother-in-law, Harvey Stacy.

In addition to his parents, Billy was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Patricia "Pat" Poffenberger, and his sister, Betty Lou Stacy.

Family and friends will gather at Fred L. Jenkins Funeral Home on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. until the time of the funeral service at 1:00 p.m., with Pastor Justin Myers officiating. Billy will be laid to rest beside his wife, Pat, at East Oak Grove Cemetery.
