JoAnne M. Clark
Fredericksburg
“She was a woman of grace and glamour, effortlessly radiant and truly beautiful inside and out. Her strength was like a diamond—unyielding, resilient, and brilliant—guiding her through life’s challenges with quiet courage and dignity.
Her greatest joy came from her family. As a loving mother and adoring grandmother, she lived each day through the lives of her children and grandchildren, celebrating their milestones as if they were her own. She found happiness in watching them grow, supporting their dreams, and surrounding them with unwavering love.”

His devotion to Jesus, his family, and the simple joys of life such as gardening, motorcycles, and bike riding, were central to who he was. His steady positive attitude and warm presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.”

Creating a beautiful home, cooking fabulous meals, entertaining, gardening, relaxing on the beach, and exploring with her husband, were just a few of her favorite pass times she loved. She looked forward to the family's annual vacation to St. John USVI and weekly trips in the summertime to the beach house, where incredible memories were made.”

Spotsylvania
“Clifford was a professional long-distance truck driver for over 22 years and traveled all 48 of the lower states and parts of Canada. He took pride in the fact that he was an accident-free driver for those 22 years. Though trucking was his profession, his true love was farming and spending time on his Sweet Virginia Farm in Amherst County. He spent the last 6 years making hay on his farm and surrounding farms to sell to those with livestock. On rainy days or winter days, he provided ride services via Uber and Lyft. He also worked for Roger Miller Auctions on an as needed basis over the years.”

Inez Deal Perry
Spotsylvania
“Inez Perry was a legacy in her church and local community. She was known as the ‘candy lady’ on Sunday’s and loved cooking her famous recipes for fellowship and family.
While she touched the lives of many, her greatest joy was always her small but deeply devoted family. Their bond was strong, and the love they shared was the center of her world.”
Patricia Elaine (Petersen) Stevens
Fredericksburg
“Born May 13, 1944, Patricia lived a generous life of service and love, serving as a physician in the medical community and as a faithful choir member at Christ Lutheran Church.
Singing, gardening, sewing, and playing the piano were just some of her loves, and she brought joy, beauty, humor, and care into every area of her life. She will be missed beyond measure.”

Fredericksburg
“Al found joy in the simple things in life. He was a member of Hollywood church. He loved spending time fishing, playing pool, and gathering with friends. One of his favorite places to visit was Shady Lane, where he enjoyed going for crabs and sharing good times with those around him.
Al will be remembered for his quiet strength, his love of family, and the many memories he created with those who knew him. His presence will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.”
