Fredrick Nash Lovell of Woolwine, Virginia was born May 13, 1942, to the late Frederick Isham Lovell and Dade Martha Jane Rorrer Lovell. He met the love of his life, Linda Lou Boyd Lovell, on the school bus when he was in the seventh grade where he professed that he was going to marry the girl with Marilyn Monroe legs.
Nash and Linda were married on October 25, 1963, and spent the next sixty-one years together building a beautiful family and creating a warm and loving home. He loved Linda faithfully and fiercely, always focused on her happiness and safety.
Nash was an avid sports fan who taught his children the team values of fair-play, loyalty, and perseverance. He spent countless hours sharing his love of golf, baseball, fishing, camping, and the great outdoors with both his children and grandchildren alike.
Nash leaves behind two children, three grandchildren and a legacy of love. Janice Dawn Lovell Largen credits her daddy for her strength and independence; Jerry Lee Lovell inherited his dad’s ingenuity and love for the game of golf. Kayla Nicole Lovell is strong-willed and determined. Jessica Renea Lovell demonstrates an encouraging demeanor and is as dependable as the day is long. Samuel Jacob Lovell is the epitome of resilience and is quick to share his gratitude to others in his life.
In addition, Mr. Lovell is survived by his two sisters Helena Lovell Belcher (Albert) of Woolwine, Mildred Lovell Scott (Bobby) of Bassett, and his brother Charlie Maynard Lovell, also of Woolwine. He has two nieces, four nephews, and was preceded in death by a fifth nephew.
