J.W. Silvers
October 16, 1924 — January 16, 2009
Mr. J.W. �Pop� Silvers, 84, of Cartersville passed away Friday, January 16, 2009 at his residence. Born October 16, 1924 in Floyd County, he was the son of the late Clarence Silvers and the late Molly Holmes Silvers. He was also preceded in death by his loving wife of 55 years, Margie Wilbanks Silvers; his brothers and sisters, Ruth Morris, Bobby Silvers, Mildred Dobbs, Jim Silvers, and Frank Silvers.
J.W. always felt that family was the most important part of his life and showed it by working hard to provide for his family. He worked in the C.C.C., was a dairy farmer, and worked in an ice plant in the earlier years of his life. J.W. eventually went to work for Thompson-Weimann where he retired as a mill operator. He was also a veteran of the United States Army having served during WW II.
J.W. enjoyed listening to gospel music and blue grass music, and he enjoyed fishing. But his number one hobby was spending time with his family. All who knew �Pop� knew he was gentle and kind.
