Jacquelin Carter Alexander
Fredericksburg
“Jacquelin, known to most as ‘Jackie,’ graduated with a major in Spanish from Mary Washington College and went on to teach Spanish and English in both Spotsylvania and Fairfax counties, where she shared her passion for language with generations of students. Her love for learning and teaching was a central part of her life.
In 1957, Jackie developed an interest in drawing after submitting a "draw me" portrait of the Head of Lincoln to a correspondence art school. With a brief period of instruction in Knoxville, TN, in 1969, her artistic career blossomed. She became a talented watercolor artist, capturing the beauty of the world around her with remarkable skill and a distinctive style.”

Patricia Ann Conway
Spotsylvania
“Ms. Pat founded The American History Company, a bookstore and genealogy research hub. She loved being in the store and meeting all sorts of people every day. Later, Ms. Pat enjoyed attending auctions, researching furniture makers and art glass. However, her favorite part was still meeting all the wonderful people and seeing them having a great time. The beach was another favorite spot for Miss Pat. She loved watching the surf and her grandchildren enjoying sand. She was also fond of Trimper’s, Fisher’s popcorn, and molasses mint taffy.”
Iris Simms Deale
