Paul Edgar Mongold, Jr., age 88 of Baker, WV, passed away Tuesday evening, September 9, 2025, just a few days shy of his 89th birthday at the E A Hawse Healthcare Center in Baker, WV. Born on September 14, 1936, in Petersburg, WV, he was the son of the late Paul Edgar Mongold and Elsie May Shook Mongold. Sons Christopher and David, daughter, Paula and sisters, Charlotte Pokorney and Eloise Douglas also preceded him in death.
Paul was never one to sit idle; he was a true go-getter! After a remarkable 36-year career with Roadway Express, he seamlessly transitioned into another 20 years at the Pilgrims Pride Cook Plant. His commitment to hard work was only rivaled by his devotion to the Moorefield Church of God, a place he called home for over 50 years. Though he enjoyed hunting in his younger days, Paul took immense pride in his perfect lawn. His grandchildren occupied any spare time he had, something he and his wife adored and cherished deeply.
Surviving is his wife of 69 years, Helen Louise Bean Mongold; daughters, Cindy Park of Baker, WV and Gail (Gary) Kile of Old Fields, WV; eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
