Elizabeth Ann Brower
Stafford
“Ann was the consummate soccer and swim mom following her children across the state and the entire East Coast for several years. As the children grew older, she found her true passion of rocking premature babies in the intensive care unit of Mary Washington Hospital.
Ann was a passionate animal lover. Regardless of where she lived, there was always a dog or two, as well as a cat or two, wandering around the home. She was a frequent donor to animal rights causes. Ann was also an avid cook and baker. She immensely enjoyed making the dishes everyone loved from scratch. At any given time, there were more cookbooks in her home than in most libraries.”
Ada Celene Butler
Fredericksburg
“Celene worked for Sears and retired from there after 25 years. She loved her profession and called her co-workers her ‘Sears Family.’ Celene’s second marriage to William Cunningham (deceased) was actually held in the Sears store in Jackson, TN. Mrs. Butler was very artistic and a great seamstress. She dearly loved gardening and always maintained a beautiful flower garden. She lived her life in full bloom and always advised others to ‘live it up.’”

“A devoted husband, cherished father, adored grandfather and friend to all who knew him, he leaves behind a legacy of unwavering love for his family and immense pride in his 25 years of service with the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPDC).”
Michael Richard Kelsey
Fredericksburg
“Anyone who had ever had the pleasure of meeting Mike knew that he was positive, kind, compassionate, and always willing to help anyone. There are not enough kind words that can be said to explain how wonderful he was. In our family, we loved to say that Dad never met a stranger! He could and would strike up a conversation with anyone, whether it be in the elevator or at the grocery store. Mike was a fiercely proud father and ‘Papa’ to his grandchildren. His children were his best friends, and he would always go out of his way to make sure they were always taken care of.”
