Most of the time I am looking for West Virginia obituaries. The pre-1977 (or thereabouts) ones can be found on NewspaperArchive or Ancestry.com. The newest ones are often on the newspaper sites. But there seems to be, excuse the expression, a dead zone regarding obits from the 80s and 90s. You might be able to get a copy of an obit from those years at the local library or by contacting the newspaper. If the newspaper is still in business. Or see if a family member has clipped the obituary and will share.
