Raymond Duane Pigott Sr., age 93 of Mannington, WV passed away Saturday, November 22, 2025 at the VA Hospital in Clarksburg.
Born in Pine Bluff, Raymond then resided in Mannington for most of his life. He enlisted in the Air Force not long after high school where he spent four years serving his country. He returned home in 1955 where he spent time working in the Williams Mine until it closed, then went to Robinson Run Mine where he became a Prep Plant Boss and stayed there until 1991 when he retired. People in town may also remember him working at the Mannington Home Center in his retired years.
In his free time, Raymond enjoyed whittling, playing his many musical instruments, and spending time with his family!
Raymond was preceded in death by his mother and father, Earl and Nancy Pigott, his wife Betty Price Pigott, two daughters, Vanessa and Lois Pigott, three sisters, Ardith Vanderhoff; Barbara Parsons and Twila Rotunda, and one brother, Kenneth Pigott.
He is survived by two sons, Raymond Duane Pigott Jr and Tessa and Keith Pigott and wife Sandy, one sister Janet Martin, step-daughter Connie Pallotta and husband Jay, three grandchildren, Jasmine Knorr and husband John; Latasha VanPelt and husband TJ, Matt Pigott and wife Tiffany, great-grandchildren, Liam, Audra, Mason, Cru, Eva, Amelia, Stella, and Circa, as well as several special nieces and nephews.
A special thank you to the 5th floor VA hospital staff for all their love and care. Everyone there held a special place in Raymond’s heart!
