A longtime resident of Roanoke County, Basil hopes that his many friends and family do not grieve his passing, but that they rejoice in his reuniting with the many who have gone before him. A few of whom include his mother and father, Ernest F. and Perna A. Sowder and his wife for 43 years, Mary B. Sowder. Some family members who remain include his wife, Mary Willie Sowder , who provided loving care in their home throughout his long battle with cancer; his son and daughter-in-law, E. Wayne and Johnette B. Sowder; two brothers, Wister and Keith Sowder; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Basil answered the call to duty serving in the U.S. Navy during World War Two and afterward earned his living working for the Virginian Railway and the Norfolk and Western Railway until his retirement from the accounting department. A love of travel was his gift to his family as he reached his goal of visiting all 50 states. Likewise he shared his talents of photography, woodworking, gardening with all he knew. He celebrated his faith and love of God in several local churches, Haren Baptist, Grandin Court Baptist, and Windsor Hills Baptist. During his time in California he attended Faith Lutheran Church in Vista. Some of his fondest memories were of friends and fellowship in these houses of worship. Continuing in the spirit of his service and ministry to others the family wish is that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the American Cancer Society so that someday no one will experience the suffering of this terrible disease. The family will receive friends from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, February 21, 2001 at Lotz Funeral Home in Salem, Va. Dr. Rev. C.

Johnette Ballenger1

F, b. October 3, 1963, d. October 14, 2010
     Johnette Ballenger was born on October 3, 1963.2 As of circa 1990,her married name was Sowder.1 She married Ernest Wayne Sowder, son of Basil Norvell Sowder and Mary Elizabeth Brown, circa 1990.3,1 Johnette Ballenger died on October 14, 2010 at Knightdale, Wake Co., North Carolina, at age 47.2,1 She Johnette Ballenger Sowder, 47, of Roanoke, Va., unexpectedly passed away on October, 14 2010, at her childhood home in Knightdale, N.C. Johnette had bravely battled the effects of a nine year fight against Lyme Disease. In spite of the physical pain caused by the disease and the emotional pain of having a disease that is misunderstood by many people in the fields of medicine, insurance and government, she had a dream of (in her words) "Approaching Normal" and during the past few months she had shown remarkable progress toward that goal. Because of her progress, Johnette intended to spend October 12 through October 25 with her family members, while her husband/soul-mate of 20 years, E. Wayne Sowder, mixed sound at the Folk Festival Tent at the N.C. State Fair. She wanted to be with her loving father, Kenneth R. Ballenger, at a time when he was also facing medical challenges as well as her mother/best friend, Phyllis, and devoted stepfather, Bill Chancellor, of Lake Royale, N.C. Thankfully, Johnette 's last day on earth was shared with her favorite (and only) brother, Kenneth Julian Ballenger, and his wife, Melody, watching their two beautiful and adorable daughters, AnaMarie and Harmony Ballenger, all of Fuquay, N.C., at play in a Knightdale park. Johnette had planned on visiting her beloved grandmother, Minnie Rae "Nannie" West, of Greensboro, N.C., on the trip back home to Roanoke as the ultimate finale of our trip. Johnette and "Nannie" shared so many traits that we joked that they were as alike as "Two-Peas in a Pod", hardly a week passed that they did not call or write to each other. Johnette loved medicine, forensics, music, photography, football, boxing, animals (especially Antoinette her 16 year old cat) and would always find beauty in the simplest parts of everyday life. She loved and missed the people she worked with at Wake Medical Center and Roanoke Memorial Hospital. II was fortunate to share 20 years with Johnette , she changed my life and I can't believe she is gone. We loved and cared for each other and now I believe she is playing in a Heavenly park with the friends, family and her pets, Muffin and Landry, that went ahead of her. Most certainly with Johnette's cherished grandfather, Johnny R. West, from whom her name was derived; her fraternal grandparents, Raydon and Esteel Ballenger; and my parents, Basil N. and Mary B. Sowder. Lyme Disease changed both of our lives and in lieu of flowers. please donate or purchase a DVD of the Documentary "Under Our Skin" from either Underourskin.com, Open Eye Pictures, 2656 Bridgeway, Suite 202, Sausalito, Calif. 94965, 415-332-3266 or Amazon.com. Johnette always wanted to help other people avoid the suffering she experienced, let the spread of Lyme Disease awareness be her lasting memorial. L. Harold Poole Funeral Service in Knightdale, N.C. are handling her final needs. The family invites any of her friends to a celebration of her life on Tuesday October 19, 2010, 1 p.m. in the chapel where she was married on the grounds of Whitestone a Masonic & Eastern Star Community, 700S Holden Rd., Greensboro, N.C. 27407, 888-558-6374.
