It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Narketta D. Beckner, 72, of Sissonville, WV. Narketta was born on December 19, 1953, in Charleston, WV, and passed away peacefully on August 22, 2026. She lived most of her adult life in Sissonville, where she was a graduate of Sissonville High School.

Narketta worked for several local businesses throughout her career, including Bowen Pharmacy and Fisher’s Restaurant in Sissonville. She also worked for a short time at Kanawha Banking and Truist in Charleston. She was a long-time and devoted member of Pocatalico Community Church.

In her younger years, Narketta shared her love of music by singing and playing the piano alongside her mother, Norma Moffatt (Tignor), and her aunt, Lottie Smith (Tignor), as the Tignor Sisters. Music remained an important part of her life. In recent years, however, several health issues prevented her from singing and traveling as she once enjoyed.
