Becky Somoskey, was a writer of poetry, stories, books and encouraging words for the whole family!
Rebecca Ann Somoskey of the Bearwallow section of Jewell Ridge, Virginia, passed away Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at her home. She was 75 years old.
Becky was born in Tahoka, Texas, the daughter of the late Mabry Dee and Angeline Kindrick Richardson. She had made her home in the Bearwallow area for the past 15 years. She was a graduate of Valley High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She wrote a column for the Richlands News Press “Inspirations from the Mountains” for several years. She was very involved in the local communities including Bearwallow Mountain, Richlands and Cedar Bluff in Virginia as well as Craft events in War, West Virginia where all her and Emory Somoskey’s children graduated from Big Creek High School.
She was a member of and a very active leader with the Appalachian Authors Guild. Her poetry and stories as well as non-fiction articles were published nationally. She taught her children music and was a highly active musician and singer in the local churches throughout the region.
We continue to share her “inspirations” with family and friends as much as possible and will continue the legacy she has left us. We plan for this website to continue for years to come.
Thank you for visiting and we hope you are blessed by the inspirations and poetry we share on this web site.

Flowers for Moms
Mother’s Day has, once again, come and gone and I would guess that the majority of Moms received flowers. I did. On mykitchen table sets a vase with a single very large daisy that I received from my church, while outside on the back porch waiting to be transplanted...
Epidemic!
When my friend Jill called about three weeks ago and I explained how I was coughing, she exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! You’ve got that old crud!” “You’re kidding!” I replied. “Is that what it is?” “That’s what they call it. I had it for over a month.” Later when another...
Don’t Get Stuck In A Rut
We spent a good part of our last four-wheeler trip up Red Oak Ridge picking our way around the ruts. You’ve seen them. Those deep kind that come from logging rigs or hunters in pickup trucks that hit the same tracks over and over. The road is dotted with clay pockets...
Facebook! Friend or Foe?
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might.” Ecclesiastes 9:10a. Yes, I am on Facebook, and I have discovered that it is a powerful resource from God to reach out to other people. But I had to learn the hard way. Let me explain. At first I wasn’t too...
Just For Today
Often I have allowed yesterday's pain and tomorrow's trouble get my attention. And Satan was right there ready to use them to paralyze me. But God has taught me much from nature and I've learned to figure Him in every moment of my life. A while back I watched as a...
Walk With Me
From the beginning the road was rough and rocky, but when it led her into the dark forest, all she could do was put one foot in front of the other because she was determined to finish this challenge. But when the trees began to make whispering sounds, she paused to...
Stay In The Light
Yes, we have bears on Bearwallow, and bobcats and coyotes. The bears have not come by this spring, but if they do we will hear them outside, poking through cans and containers looking for food. Bobcats are like shadows. They sneak in late at night when most of the...
