Jerida Kay Floyd

Jerida Kay Floyd, 66, of Clarksburg, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at her home surrounded by her family.  She was born on March 30, 1959, in Clarksburg, a daughter of Glendora Westfall Paugh of Clarksburg and the late Jack Lee Paugh, Sr.

She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Bob Floyd, whom she married on November 17, 1983.

She is also survived by two children, Jomanda Floyd Oldaker and her husband, Shaun of Clarksburg and Jona Floyd and husband Travis Ramsey of Clarksburg; grandchildren, Savannah Marchand, Riley Harris, Mason Floyd, Kayden Floyd, Kyleah Butler, Madison Oldaker and Aydan Oldaker; great grandchildren, Daimyn Marchand and Aurora Snyder; siblings, Judy Manley Shingleton and husband Steve, from Clarksburg, Jack Lee Paugh, Jr., and wife Sharon of Cookeville, TN and Justina Ogden and husband Glen of Bridgeport.

In addition to her father, she was also preceded in death by her brother, Joey Paugh

Jerida was a graduate of Washington Irving, Class of 1977, and spent 30 dedicated years working for Verizon before her retirement. Her caring nature didn’t stop there, she later became an in-home caregiver, offering comfort, patience, and kindness to those who needed it most.

Jerida had a big heart especially for animals. She deeply loved to rescue stray cats and opened her home to many over the years, giving them safety and love. The cats that have passed are, Sadie, Dallas, Rocky, Chance, Zoe, Frisky, Baby, Caesar, Oreo, Samson, Kiffin, Kayzee and Maddie.  The cats that she continued to care for are, Titus, Beasley, Romeo and Apache.  She found peace and happiness in the simple joys of life, tending to her goldfish pond, relaxing by her pool, gardening, watching birds, and spending meaningful time with her family. She also enjoyed getting pampered at the nail salon, where her warmth and friendliness turned casual visits into lasting friendships.  She was an avid football fan, especially the Dallas Cowboys and the WVU Mountaineers.

Jerida was truly one of a kind. She was generous, giving, selfless, and nonjudgmental, always accepting others just as they were. Her kindness left a lasting mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her, and she will be deeply missed.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made the Humane Society of Harrison County.
