INSIDE: Section B LocalLife www.rrecord.com February 12, 2015 Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock, VA The Lancaster County Lions Club, together with Lions clubs from Middle- sex, Gloucester and Northumberland, will host the annual Bland Music Com- petition from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, February 15, at Rappahannock Westminster- Canterbury, 132 Lancaster Drive, Irvington. Admission is free, all are invited, and refreshments will be served, said club publicist Jim Ward. Categories include vocal and instrumental competitions among music students. Winners of this local competition, in addition to cash prizes, will be eligible to compete in the regional competition in March, and perhaps advance to the statewide competition in May, when over $18,000 in music scholarship money will be awarded, said Ward. The scholarships must be used for college tuition, music lessons, summer music programs or other music education. The competition, honoring James Bland, the renowned composer of many popular songs before the turn of the last century, including “Carry me back to old Virginny” in 1878, has been sponsored by the Lions since 1948, and has assisted many talented youngsters in furthering their musical careers, he said. Sundays at Two will continue at 2 p.m. February 15 at the Lancaster Community Library, 235 School Street, Kilmarnock. Clark B. Hall will discuss “Brandy Sta- tion: a Civil War Battlefield Preservation Success Story.” Hall is an authority on Civil War cav- alry actions, and battlefield preservation, reported committee member Jackie Fer- riter. He became involved in battlefield preservation in 1986 when the Chantilly/ Ox Hill battlefield in Fairfax County was sold for housing and commercial devel- opment. The loss of that battlefield gal- vanized a group of concerned historians, including Hall, to form what ultimately became the nationally prominent, Civil War Trust. With more than 60,000 members, the Civil War Trust has been actively involved in saving about 40,000 aces of Civil War battlefields, including the Brandy Station Battlefield, some 100 miles west of Kilmarnock, said Ferriter. He will discuss the battle, described as “the Civil War’s largest cavalry battle and opening engagement of the threshold Gettysburg Campaign,” and also relate the story of how the battlefield has been saved from becoming a housing devel- opment, strip mall, office park, or For- mula One racetrack. Hall is working on a book detailing the history of the Battle of Brandy Station, she added. Hall is a Marine veteran of the Viet Nam war and has been an FBI supervi- Love rockin’ sor, a criminal investigations manager for the U.S. Congress, and a security director for General Electric. He is senior managing director for The Fairfax Group, a corporate investigative firm. A graduate of Kansas State Univer- sity, he also has done graduate work in history and law at Kansas State and the University of Virginia. Following the talk, there will be an opportunity for questions, along with refreshments. The Northern Neck Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society (NNNPS) will host a panel discussion at noon Thursday, February 19, at Wic- omico Parish Church Hall, 5191 Jessie duPont Memorial Highway, Wicomico Church. The topic will be “Tools for Protecting Wetlands and Water Qual- ity: The Role of Native Plants.” Panelists will include Lancaster County codes compliance officer Brian Barnes and NorthernNeck Planning District Commission environmental planner Stuart McKenzie, reported Judith Lang. They will brief the audi- ence on the relationship between storm water and healthy watersheds, new regulations on storm water runoff and the vital role of native plants in the waterfront and home landscape. The Wetlands Project executive director Kate Daniel will serve as moderator. The Wetlands Project is dedicated to strengthening community-based pro- grams that encourage wetlands con- servation in the Northern Neck. Visitors are welcome, said Lang. Attendees are reminded to bring a brown bag lunch. Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be available.

JEWELRY FACTS
BY ROSS CHRISTIANSEN A pearl develops when an oyster deposits protective coatings in layers over an irritating foreign particle such as a tiny grain of sand. Native divers can make about 40 dives each day to the mollusk beds where natural pearls are found. They bring up 50 mollusks each time, but only one in a thousand contains a pearl and many of these are not gem quality. In the case of “cultured” pearls, a mother of pearl bead is placed in the oyster’s shell by a pearl farmer. Pearls are only one of the many ideal gift suggestions we can show you. Give the gift that endures . . . jewelry!

A spirited sibling squabble will highlight the Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Society’s annual commemoration of the 1766 Leedstown Resolutions at 10 a.m. February 21, at Yeocom-ico Church, 1283 Old Yeocomico Road, Kinsale.
The resolutions were the first protest of “taxation without rep-resentation” and were directed to the British monarchy, reported Frank Delano. The document was a forerunner of the Declaration of Independence 10 years later.
The observance will feature interpreters portraying the dispa-rate brothers Philip Ludwell Lee and Richard Henry Lee and their outspoken sister Hannah Lee Corbin, all of whom would have attended Yeocomico Church.
Richard Henry Lee was the author of the Leedstown Reso-lutions. Prior to their signing, he burned effigies of British tax offi-
cials at the Westmoreland Court-house, said Delano. Ten years later, he introduced the bill that became the Declaration of Inde-pendence.
Philip Ludwell Lee was no fan of insurrection. He was more interested in the profits from his thousands of acres, his race horses and entertaining his friends at Stratford Hall, said Delano.
Hannah Corbin was known as an informed and outspoken activist. After her first husband’s death, she lived unmarried to avoid losing property left by her first husband, he said. She was a staunch supporter of the Revolu-tion.
There is no known record of a spirited conversation between these three strong-willed Lees, but it could have occurred after a service at Yeocomico Church or at Corbin’s nearby home.
The Corrottoman Seniors will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday, February 17, at the Upper Lancaster Ruritan Club, 3989 White Chapel Road, Lively. All seniors are welcome.
The guest speaker will be Kenneth Flournoy, president of Friends of Belle Isle, reported Lorriane Dixon.
The devotion will be given by Jean Bareford. Hostesses for February will be Thomas
Stevens and Mary Brimmer. Bingo callers will be Helen Cover and Dixon.
The food pantry at Kilmar-nock Baptist Church needs cereal and dried spaghetti, said Dixon. Also, cash donations are appreciated.
A smart tip will be given by Dixon.
Bring an envelope with $1 for Bingo. All members are urged to wear red, added Dixon.
Fairfields United Methodist Church choir director Carolyn Jett and her band of merry music makers will orchestrate a roast beef dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. on February 21 at the church social hall, 4741 Northumberland Highway in Burgess.
“The roast beef dinners have become a tradition of ours,” said Jett.
The menu will include roast beef, gravy, potatoes, green beans, rolls, butter, beverage and dessert. Donations will be accepted. For takeout meals, call 453-2631.
The dinner is sponsored by the Nelia Tingle Social Group and the proceeds will support community outreach missions.

Actress and attorney Kath-ryn Shepherd speak at 11
a.m. March 2 at Rappahan-nock Westminster-Canterbury, 132 Lancaster Drive, Irving-ton. Her presentation will launch the 2015 Viewpoints series on a range of topics of current interest.
“We at RW-C are very pleased that we’ve been able to bring such a diverse group of men and women to the Northern Neck,” said Stuart Bunting. “We are also delighted by the attendance at each of our presentations. After 14 years, people are still excited to hear from these entertaining and thought-provoking speakers.”
Shepherd graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in theater arts. She has appeared on stage with actor Nick Nolte, in the film “Home is Where the Heart Is” with actress Jessica Lange, and in numerous commer-cials. A long-time resident of the West, in 2003 Shepherd
moved to Virginia and now lives at historic Mahockney Plantation in Essex County.
Since relocating to the area she has appeared in a number of local theater productions. Last fall she starred in a one-woman show, “The Belle of Amherst,” at the Lancaster Playhouse in White Stone and the Westmoreland Players Theater in Callao.
In addition to her stage and screen work, Shepherd is a
practicing attorney known in California and Washing-ton, D.C., for her work on a number of complex anti-trust and divorce cases. She is a senior docent in the Curator’s Office of the U.S. Supreme Court.
On April 13, Viewpoints will host Ann Compton, recently retired correspondent with ABC News. During her career, Compton covered the White House and was on the scene for many important political events, including those sur-rounding the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, when she was with President George W. Bush on Air Force One.
On May 4, Steven J. Hanley,
a telecommunications and Arabic language specialist who has worked as a security technology consultant for the U.S. State Department in Baghdad, will speak.
On June 1, John Warley will speak about his recently pub-lished novel, A Southern Girl, set in Charleston, S.C.
A complimentary buffet luncheon will follow the pre-sentations. Reservations are required. To give everyone interested an equal opportunity to reserve a seat, those wishing to attend are asked to call 438-4000 on, or after, February 16 for the March 2 event.

This year St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church will host the worship gatherings for our area churches during the Lenten season.
Due to limited fellowship space, however, the services and lunches will take place at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, 435 Church Street, Kilmarnock, reported the Rev. Tom Coye.
Each Wednesday at 12:05 p.m., beginning Ash Wednes-day, February 18, and con-
cluding April 1, a variety of lay leaders and preachers will lead worship, said Rev. Coye. A fellowship lunch will follow the worship at 12:30 p.m., also provided by various church groups.
These services began in 1964 and were sponsored by the Lancaster County Ministerial Association (LCMA), an interdenomi-national and interracial fel-lowship of active and retired ministers. At the time, these
gatherings were the first in the history of the county to which believers of all denom-inations and of all races were invited to come together to share in worship and fel-lowship, he said. Kilmar-nock was chosen as the site because of its central loca-tion.
Now, 51 years later, the community continues to gather for these special annual celebrations. Six churches rotate as hosts:

STATE COLLEGE, PA.—Helen Ann Vanderhyden Kinne, longtime resident of Wicomico Church and reluctant recent res-ident of State College, Pa., died Saturday, January 31, 2015, in State College from complica-tions due to cancer.
She was born in Appleton, Wis., on April 17, 1925, to the late Ann Regina Schreiber Van-derhyden and Willard Joseph Vanderhyden. On February 15, 1947, she married James Blaine Kinne, who died on December 20, 2001. She also was pre-deceased by children James Halsey Kinne and Karen Kinne Robnick.
Survivors include children Barbara Blaine Kinne (Scott Harrison) of Warriors Mark, Pa., Jan Kinne Green (Stephen) of Arvonia and Charles Willard Kinne of Glasgow, Scotland. Also surviving are grandchil-dren James Blaine Kinne, Pat-rick Hulsey Kinne, Stephen Sands Robnick (Devin), Hillary Rae Robnick, Daniel John Trus-tin Wilson (Heather), Sarah Ann Green, Grace Victoria Wright (Gordon) and Elijah Blaine Kinne; and great-grandchildren Madison Nicole Kinne, Reese Blaine Robnick, Sean Xavier Wilson and Olivia Harper
Wilson. She also is survived by daughter-in-law Donna C. Kinne; and son-in-law Sands A. Robnick.
She loved Virginia, and had called the Northern Neck her home since 1977. Holly Cove, the Kinne’s home on Barrett Creek off the Great Wicomico River, became a magnet for family and friends. If you were not out on the water fishing, sailing, kayaking, or just plain touring, then you were at the dining table playing poker and other card games, or competing with Helen’s formidable cross-word puzzle skills in the inevi-table Scrabble game. She was an accomplished bridge player and a fixture on the Kilmar-nock-White Stone-Lancaster bridge scene. She was a long-time supporter of the Lancaster Community Library, a docent for the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum and a member of the Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club.
Her family will honor her wishes and memory with private services this spring. Memorial contributions may be made to the Lancaster Com-munity Library in Kilmarnock or Smith Point Sea Rescue in Reedville.
MOLLUSK—On Tues-day, February 3, 2015, at 6:50 p.m. God called Mary Virginia Logan from labor to reward. Her suffering had come to an end.
She was born on November 12, 1933, in Baltimore, Md., to the late Charles and Mar-garet Emma Logan. She con-fessed Jesus Christ as her per-sonal Savior, was baptized and joined Queen Esther Baptist Church at an early age.
Mary received her educa-tion in the Lancaster County public school system. She was employed by Triggers Fish House and Coburn Optical. In her later years, she worked as a housekeeper for various fami-lies.
Mary is most remembered by living life her way—it was either her way or no way. She enjoyed playing card games on the computer and watching the Game Show Network. She took great pleasure tending to her yard, and was known to have a green thumb for plants and flowers. She deeply loved her children; their security and well-being was top priority. She was also an avid animal lover.
Mary leaves to cherish her memory one sister, Eliza-beth Allen of Baltimore; five children, Deborah Parker of Dallas, Texas; Regina Mason of Mollusk; Michael (Maxine) Logan of Mollusk, Francene (Reggie) Brown of Dallas, and Garnette (Robert) Williams
of Dallas; 13 grandchildren, Richard (Tanya) Logan, Katina Parker, Carolyn (Antwaun) Gaye, Cassandra (Warren) Outlaw, Michael Mason, Derrick Logan, Telighther (Katrone) Holloman, LaToya (Lavar) Walker, Michelle (Michael) Foreman, Angela (Alvin) Henderson, Tony (Tan-tanesha) Brown, Jonathan Wil-liams and Aliyia Williams; 22 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends.
Those who preceded her in death are 12 brothers and sis-ters, and her grandson, Patrick Rill of Germany.
Special thanks to Wanda at AmeriCare Plus, CMG Medi-cal Center, Rappahannock General Hospital and River-side Tappahannock Hospital.
A service was held Sunday, February 8, at Queen Esther Baptist Church in Mollusk. Interment followed in the church cemetery.

There was also a special place in his heart for his dog, Sugar.
Charlie had a passion for life. He and Martha enjoyed spending time on the water and being with the ones they loved. The family spent many wonderful summers first at their cottage in Tappahan-nock, and later at their beloved home on Antipoison Creek in White Stone, enjoying boating with friends on the Chesapeake Bay, in Florida and the Bahamas.
Charlie was a longstanding member of the Virginia Yacht Club and the Richmond Power Squadron.
Everyone loved Pop Pop. He was the eternal optimist, and he loved life and everything around him. His memory will remain strong in the hearts of many. He was devoted to his faith and church. Charlie was a member of St. Bridget Catholic Church for over 50 years and a long-time member of the Knights of Columbus.
Charlie attended Benedictine High School and Thomas Jef-ferson High School where he
played football, basketball and baseball. He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, and played semi-pro baseball for a number of years. He was a passionate sports fan, especially of University of Vir-ginia teams which he followed closely until his death.

WEEMS—William Black Moore Jr., 90, of Weems died at his home on Wednesday, February 4, 2015.
He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Lillian Wells Moore; and their three chil-dren, Kathryn Moore Dannels of Indianapolis, Ind., William B. Moore III of Richmond, Bethany Richmond Davies of Dalton, Ga.; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Mr. Moore was born in 1924 in Jackson, Miss., to William Black Moore and Mae Isom Whitten Moore. He enlisted in the Navy after Pearl Harbor and was commissioned an Ensign in the “Fighting Sea-Bees,” stationed in the Phil-ippines. Returning home in 1946, he married his child-hood sweetheart, Lillian Wells of Greenwood, Miss. He later earned a Master’s in chemical engineering at the University of Louisville, where he also taught mathematics and served as chief engineer of the uni-versity’s Institute of Industrial Research.
In 1949, Mr. Moore began a 30-year career with Reynolds Metals Company, holding posi-tions in Louisville, St. Louis, Mo., and Richmond, retiring in 1980 as vice president of the company’s architectural and building products division.
After retirement, Mr. and Mrs. Moore moved to Kilmar-nock and later Weems, in the Northern Neck area of Vir-ginia. Moore was active in his church and community, signifi-cantly as one of the founders and long-term president of the Rappahannock Foundation for the Arts. His passion for genea-logical research culminated in
the publication of two books of his work, the most recent one issued when he was 89 years old.
Throughout his life, Mr. Moore shared the gift of his beautiful tenor voice, as a soloist in church choirs. He remained a faithful choir member well into his later years, performing his last solo at the age of 87. In the mid-1980s, Mr. Moore delighted audiences as the French planter Emile de Becque in the Lancaster Players’ pro-duction of South Pacific.
Following a private inter-ment in Historic Christ Church Cemetery, a memo-rial service was held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, February 10, at Irvington Baptist Church. Following the ceremony, there was a reception in the church fellowship hall.

Rev. John Farmer has been the pastor at Irvington Baptist Church since 1986.
Too many years ago this week, Charles Schulz’s
(1922–2000) final “Peanuts” strip ran in Sunday papers, the day after the cartoonist died in his sleep in Califor-nia, at age 77. While that might not speak volumes to the average reader, it does to me.
Charles Shultz was a man who left a grand legacy of moral, gentle and human glimpses (with humor and pathos) about how his “kids” transpired life. It was a life-long dedication to understatement. It has been rumored that Shultz actually saw himself in the character Char-lie Brown. I have been compared often to his char-acter friend Linus (don’t go there). I miss the storytell-ing of Shultz. I miss his gentle reckonings. I miss his predictable remind-ers of life.
Similarly, some years back I lost another comic hero of my youth. Pogo (an opos-sum) and other swamp crit-ters messing about in a flat bottom skiff (as did I). They offered slices of life, told through the mouths of ani-mals far more honest than we are with each other most of the time.
I have stopped reading the comics. Their humor now escapes me. Some of them I find demeaning, or just down right mean. Beatle Bailey (created by cartoonist Mort Walker) still hops up in this and that paper. It still gives me a chuckle. These days I only occasionally glance at the funnies.
As a matter of fact, other than the Rappahannock Record (which is usually all the news I need to read—for it covers my world), I rarely read any other newspaper. I keep the Record and sev-eral regional papers on my computer bookmarks. I can bounce from one to the other to catch up with the neces-
sary obituaries to pastor God’s flock. I also read a few conservative dispatches and a few religious publications the same way.
I frequently share with the flock that it is a good study of the world if one keeps their Bibles in one hand and a newspaper in the other. It’s useful to filter the daily news with the Good News. Well, TV news has helped move me away from the printed page. With the advent of instant news, I can chan-nel surf and see quippits of things as they unfold upon the world stage. Sometimes I get news overload though. I think it contributes to world
stress to have the option of visiting and revisiting, of replaying tragedy.
There is also a plethora of consolidated news and edito-rial opinion. Truth be known, much of what we digest on our stations of choice is actu-ally editorialized quite a bit. It is hard to find an objective contemporary reporter.
My traveler’s ear chases after one PBS radio station to another. NPR News is OK—but mostly I treasure the classical music. It is the fee I pay for my musical tastes.
From the press of Johannes Gutenberg (1398 –1468) we have passed to an electronic age. Less and less do we wait for the morning or evening news. Our newspaper read-ing is now almost recre-ational, as we have already processed the weight of the world’s affairs almost as they happen. One danger in all this is that we freeze news. In the past, giving a day or two to process events some particular resolution might evolve. Not now. We blurt out this and that and persons, nations, victims, and heroes,
have no chance for recapitu-lation. So the news is frozen as it was told. No healing or revision can take place.
Do you remember when the first 10-15 minutes of theater movies were news reels?
We used to digest all the news, ads, and upcoming sales and read the comics to catch the irony of politi-cal humor. Much of politics these days is not humorous. Some find it onerous.
That being said, let me lift a banner. No matter how com-munication changes, God’s Holy Word is unaltered. All the news of nations, all the sins of the human race, all
the beauty of creation, all the sadness of loss is still ripe for the reading in the Bible. In the Bible we can reflect upon our own personal life’s story. We can still measure what the prophets foretold; and priests, kings, judges and
apostles lived through.Now, the beauty of it all is
that I have the Bible on my computer as well. In fact I have a verse program that opens as my first page. It quotes from the story old and asks a question (with click-on answers) to refresh Scrip-ture each time the machine fires up. It is all at my fin-gertips while I am working. I truly spend less time with the Book open, but balanced time with the fingers typing through its Holy pages.
I actually am reading more Scripture now. It is truly at the center of my workstation. It becomes easier for me to read any news and click over to my Bible program to peer into its larder. I measure things as they are, were and should be. However you can read the Word. It is still the freshest printed or comput-erized Book in the world. It will give you a worldview filtered through the Gates of Heaven. Do not abandon its riches.
Reflectionsby Rev. John Farmer
I frequently share with the flock that it is a good study of the world if one keeps their Bibles in one hand and a newspaper in the other.
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 3020 Fleeton Road, Fleeton, will celebrate over 100 years of ministry on Sunday February 15. The Right Rev. Ted Gulick, assistant bishop of the Diocese of Virginia, will preside at a special worship service beginning at 2 p.m.
The community is invited to the service and reception following, said vestry member Mar-guerite Slaughter. A large time line with photos will show the history of the ministry and the people connected to St. Mary’s during the past 100 years, through church construction, bap-tisms and marriages.
The first service of what was to become St. Mary’s, Fleeton, was conducted on October 27, 1907, when 10 Episcopalians gathered in what was known as lower St. Stevens Parish to worship and celebrate the glory of God. Prior to the call of its first rector, the Rev. Lewis Carter Harrison, services were conducted in abandoned school-houses in the general Reedville area by seminar-ians from Virginia Theological Seminary, said Slaughter. On April 10, 1913, Bishop Robert A. Gibson presided over services consecrating what is now known as St. Mary’s, Fleeton.
The annual “Blessing of the Fleet” in Reed-ville, organized by St. Mary’s and hosted by the priest of St. Mary’s, truly becomes a com-munity event for the fishermen to begin a new season, continued Slaughter. Area ministers, a combined choir, a guest speaker, fishermen and their families and many friends and supporters throughout the community participate and attend the event.
St. Mary’s also continues a tradition of over 50 years of active presence in the community with St. Mary’s Thrift Shop. Revenues of the shop support organizations like the rescue squad,
hospice and free health clinic, as well as scholar-ships for graduating seniors to further education, she said.
Every Friday night, St. Mary’s shows movies on a large screen. Other activities include an authentic “Oktoberfest” event, a Shrove Tuesday pancake supper, a yearly Lenten supper program, participation in the meals on wheels program, and contributions to the Link.
The Rev. Sandi Mizirl, looks forward to wel-coming everyone to help celebrate St. Mary’s loving presence within community.
Mt. Olive Baptist Church Missionary Ministry of Wic-omico Church will sponsor its annual black history program at 3 p.m. Sunday, February 15.
“Everyone is encouraged to wear African attire to celebrate our heritage,” said publicity coordinator Phyllis D. Nick-ens.
The guest speaker will be Renee Jones Forney. A 1985 graduate of Northumberland High School, Fornay has a bachelor’s from DeVry Univer-sity and master’s in engineer-ing management from George Washington University as well as her Certified Information
System Security Professional Certification (CISSP) and Proj-ect Management Professional (PMP). She also is a member of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc.
Forney was baptized at Mt Olive Baptist Church by the Rev. Milton Foster. She attends Ebenezer Baptist Church in Woodbridge, where she s a member of the choir and speaks to youth about career develop-ment.
She is the wife of Marshall Forney Sr. and the mother of Marshall Jr. and Kierston. She is the daughter of the late deacon Joseph Jones and dea-coness Emma Jones of Mila.

K I L M A R N O C K — A funeral service for Mr. Otis R. Polk of Kilmarnock was held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Janu-ary 17, 2015, at the Mount Vernon Baptist Church in White Stone, with pastor elect Kelvin Evans, officiating, and Rev. Peyton Waller Sr., eulo-gist.
Otis Reginald Polk Sr., affectionately known to his family and friends by a variety of nicknames too numerous to list, was born on June 27, 1950, to Ozie Ray Polk Sr. and Levenia Grimes Polk in White Stone. He was called home on Tuesday, January 13.
After a brief stint in the U.S. Army, Otis returned home to Lancaster County, where he would marry and start his family. He began his career at Dominion Virginia Power, where he remained until his retirement.
Otis’ family and friends will remember him as a warm, gentle, and generous soul, a ceaseless and tireless worker always willing to lend a hand or help a friend in need. He loved his cars and trucks and could fix nearly anything.
“Short in stature, but with a heart the size of a mountain,” Otis was a mentor and father figure to countless friends and
KILMARNOCK—Blanche Dillard Robertson passed away February 6, 2015, in Kilmar-nock, only six days shy of her 96th birthday.
Her parents, her sister, Thelma Holland, and her beloved husband of 69 years, James Leonard Robertson, pre-ceded her in death.
Blanche and Leonard moved into their home in Sandston in 1941, where they raised their three children, Francis Elaine Snyder (now of Newington, Conn.), Sherwood Alan (Cap-tain Woody) Robertson (now of Reedville) and Michael Craig Robertson (now of New Kent).
Surviving are her sister, Irene McKay; daughters-in-law, Sharon Robertson and Donna Robertson; nine grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.

advantage of her employee dis-count to buy many, many gifts for her family.
She was an avid reader, espe-cially of history and her local newspaper. She was especially proud of her many published “letters-to-the editor” and “Correspondent of the Day” articles for the Richmond Times Dispatch. Her signed copies of her published “Plug-ger” cartoons made her very happy as well.
She was an eager and active member of the Sandston Woman’s Club. A long-time member of Sandston Baptist Church, she was the corre-spondence secretary for many years and volunteered in many other helpful ways. In her last years in this life, she contin-ued her church missions, still singing the beloved hymns to the other residents of her home at the Lancashire Con-valescence Center in Kilmar-nock.
She will be missed.
The members of Good Shep-herd Lutheran Church, 1717 Hampton Hall Road, Callao, invite the community to Ash Wednesday worship service at 5:30 p.m. Feb-ruary 18.
The service will be conducted by the Rev. Mike Ramming. The imposition of ashes will be offered, said evangelism chairman Susan Hudson. Ash Wednesday begins the Lenten season, which is the 40 days prior to the celebration of Easter and is a Christian time for reflection and meditation.
Ash Wednesday derives its name from the tradition among many Christian to apply ashes to the forehead as a sign of sorrow and repentance over sin, said Hudson. The traditional liturgical color of Lent is violet, a reminder of the importance of repentance in a Christian’s life.
