Leda Jo Little

Leda Jo Little, a beloved mother and grandmother, passed away on January 15, 2026, surrounded by the love and support of her children, at the age of 65. Born on February 14, 1960, Leda brought joy and warmth to everyone who knew her.

Leda’s proudest accomplishments throughout her life were her roles as a devoted mother and a cherished grandmother. Leda enjoyed being a homemaker and tending to her flowers and plants. She also loved playing Bingo with her sister Diane, and her son Kevin and wife Jessica. At the end of every game of Bingo, win or lose, we always heard “at least we had fun”. She enjoyed hosting Thanksgiving at her home in Anawalt WV, as well as a cookout every Fourth of July for her family.

Leda never failed to always be there for anyone who needed her. If there was a family get together, baby shower, birthday party, graduation or anything involving family, she would be the first one there (usually about an hour early).

Her unconditional love and guidance left a lasting impact on everyone who knew and loved her. Leda was part of the glue that held many families together as one.

Leda is survived by her children Mark Little and his wife Nikki, Kevin Little and his wife Jessica. As well as her step children Everett Little Jr and wife Glenna and family, James Little and wife Anita and family, and Vivian Alford and family. Long time companion Arthur Greer, Sister Diane Johnson and family, Brother Roger Sizemore and family, Brother Michael Ford and family, and brother Ricky Sizemore and family. As well as many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews and other family and friends.

She loved and cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren Alexa Little, Kole “Bucket” Little, Lucas Sturgill, Kayla Sturgill, and Kimberly Sturgill.

Proceeding her in death is her husband Everett Little, mother Shirley Sizemore, father Jerry Johnson, sister Vivian A. Parks, sister Brenda Holleman (Susie), brother Ned Sizemore, and her niece Amy Johnson.
