Betty was born in New Jersey on July 17, 1931, and was one of three daughters to Joseph and Anna Francis Cucolo. She moved to Reedville shortly after she turned 18 years old to raise her family. As a young wife and mother, she used her “can-do” attitude to make ends meet under the most difficult of circumstances. She would make clothes for her children and made sure they had what they needed. As she grew older, Betty started her own antiques business and later became one of Lancaster County’s most successful real estate agents. She had a good nose for business, and was well respected in her industry. There was very little Betty couldn’t do when she put her mind to it, and when she wanted to get results, she found a way to make it happen.

Betty’s fighting spirit was perhaps most evident in the twilight of her life, as the grasp of Alzheimer’s and dementia began to steal the very spirit and characteristics that made her “Betty.” As she had done so many times before, Betty exhausted herself fighting to establish her position one last time against overwhelming odds. She passed away on Wednesday, December 14, dying the way she lived her entire life, fighting to go on her terms and her way. One last time, Betty found a way to make it happen — escaping the clutches of a horrible disease to join her mother and sisters, whom she loved deeply.

In addition to countless friends and colleagues, Betty left behind two loving children, Eva Timberlake and Lee Robertson, seven grandchildren, Brent Timberlake, Chris Timberlake, Jennifer Robertson, Natalie LaPoint, Kristy Longo, Samantha Robertson, Kasey Robertson, and nine great grandchildren. The family will receive friends from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., on Friday, December 16, 2011 at Faulkner Family Funeral Home, 14476 Northumberland Highway, Burgess, Virginia 22432. Relatives and friends attending services assemble at Faulkner Family Funeral Home again on Saturday, at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Northern Neck Humane Society or the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.

In 1978 Lynn divorced and relocated East, where she worked for several years in personnel placement as a Kelly Services Branch Manager. This experience gave her an invaluable perspective for defining her own career objectives. She left Kelly to become an Account Executive and Industry Consultant at AT&T, and later moved on to CitiCorp NA as Credit Officer and Marketing Program Manager. In 1988 Lynn married Michael Adler in Guilford CT where the couple resided till 2002, during which period Lynn moved from CitiCorp to Yale New Haven Hospital where she remained for 10 years, earned her MS degree in Recreational Therapy at Southern Connecticut State University, served five years at Yale NHH as Resident Recreational Therapist in the psychiatric ward, and retired in 1997. She then took a fulltime position with CVNA- Connecticut Visiting Nurse Association- as their Community Outreach and Publicity Director until 2002. During this period Lynn, who always believed that a balanced life must combine inner spirituality with healthy physical activity and community service, served as Director on the North Branford CT Chamber of Commerce, Vice-President of the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling, Chair Person of the AARP Community Service Committee, and several other community organizations. Lynn- an animal lover all her life- also found time to attend an animal grooming school and obtained her license so she could work part-time as a groomer “just for fun”.

Lynn was a sportswoman and competent sailor, had lived full time aboard her own powerboat, then a large sailboat, in the New England area from 1980 until 1988 when she and her husband acquired a lakeside property in Guilford CT and moved ashore. Switching briefly from sailing to sports cars, they restored a 1963 Austin Healey and with it toured the Northeast and the Canadian Maritime Provinces.

The couple bought their Kilmarnock property in 1996, retired “for good” in 2002 and left CT for Kilmarnock VA, where they have lived on Henrys Creek with their cruising sailboat- named Prudence after Lynn’s long-departed sister- at their dock. In 2005, with her bucket list rapidly dwindling, Lynn realized another goal by first swimming with dolphins and later volunteering in a massive dolphin rescue operation in Key Largo Florida. In recent years Lynn has been deeply involved with the local chapter of Quaker Meeting / American Society of Friends and has been volunteering at the Interfaith Council facility in Kilmarnock. She has also served on the Board of Directors of the Rappahannock River Yacht Club.

Since her cancer diagnosis in 2006 Lynn has been constructing an ongoing account of the illness and its impact upon her life and perspectives. She and her family invite interested friends to visit it at www.lindalater.blogspot.com (also note the “Older Posts” button at the bottom)

Surviving are her husband Michael Adler, her sisters Maria and Charlotte, her brothers Asher, John, George, Christian, Daniel and Richard, and numerous nieces and nephews residing in several states. A Celebration of Lynn’s life will be held sometime after the holiday season, details to be announced. The Currie Funeral Home in Kilmarnock is in charge of private cremation services. In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorial contributions be directed to Hospice of Virginia or The Quaker Society of Friends at RWC.

Sherree had a zest and love for life that is not easily matched by others. After farming in West Virginia, Sheree and her husband retired to the Northern Neck to take pleasure in living a life on the water. She found joy in boating, fishing and taking in the salt air. Having a fondness for nature, she and Ned loved to travel and camp with their dogs who were treated as their children. Happiest when outdoors, gardening was her pleasure and she loved to show off her zinnias each summer. A book was always open and ready for her to read while listening to the rock-and-roll music of her younger years. Her personality was like that of no other, and we will never forget her endearing strength in these final days.

Roberts was born in Washington, D.C. to Austin and Barbara Roberts and grew up in Bethesda, MD. He graduated from Walt Whitman High School and from the College of William and Mary, where he received a B.S. in Accounting in 1969 and a MBA in 1971.

Roberts had a long and distinguished career in banking, starting after college with First and Merchants Bank, later Sovran; and in 1976, at the age or 29, he became the youngest bank president in the Commonwealth of Virginia (First Peninsula Bank & Trust in Hampton, VA). He later helped start Commerce Bank in Newport News. In 1990, Roberts moved to the Northern Neck to become President and CEO of Bank of Lancaster. During Roberts’ 21-year tenure with Bank of Lancaster, he provided extraordinary leadership and vision; and the Bank grew from one banking office with assets of approximately $89 million to nine banking offices with $335 million in assets.

One of the cornerstones in Roberts’ life was his belief that one should pay their “civic rent,” to always try and make the world a better place in which to live. He led by example and in 1980 Roberts was recognized as The Outstanding Young Man in the Commonwealth. Over the years he worked with and later chaired the United Way of the Virginia Peninsula; was a Rotarian, serving with both the Newport News Club (past president) and later with the Kilmarnock-Irvington-White Stone Club; and served on numerous Boards, to include Rappahannock Foundation for the Arts, CASA, VIMS, the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce, and was a founding member of Virginia Quality Life.

His intellect, business acumen and foresight were greatly appreciated when he was appointed to his beloved College of William and Mary’s Board of Visitors. He also sat on the William and Mary Board of Directors of the School of Education. In 1994 he received the Alumni Medallion, the highest honor bestowed by the College.

In keeping with Roberts dedication to education, during his career he served on the Board of the Virginia Council on Economic Education, Rappahannock Community College and on the Board of Trustees of Chesapeake Academy. He was a strong supporter of financial literacy for young people and helped create the infrastructure for school banks in both Lancaster and Northumberland Counties. These school banks made history in the Northern Neck and received both State and National recognition.

His honesty, integrity and interest in providing opportunities for people to be the best they could be made him a much sought-after advisor and mentor, by friends and colleagues within the banking industry and the community. He was the driving force behind the establishment of the Lower Northern Neck YMCA located in Kilmarnock, which served as the catalyst for other YMCA offices in Northumberland, Richmond and Westmoreland Counties.

Roberts contributions extended beyond his community to the State and National level, where he held leadership positions in the Virginia Bankers Association, serving on numerous Committees; the Virginia Association of Community Banks; and the American Bankers Association (ABA). Roberts served on the ABA’s Board of Directors, and on its Education, Communications and Legislative Committees. He also served as Chairman of the ABA’s Community Bankers Council for the entire nation, an honor never before bestowed upon a banker from the Northern Neck, and one he accepted with humbleness and led with dignity. Roberts was further honored by the ABA when he was asked to testify before Congress on behalf of the banking industry, with particular emphasis on the regulatory burdens and accounting treatments affecting banks’ abilities to lend to small businesses.

Roberts had a positive attitude, he lived with hope, and had strength and grace that were a source of inspiration to all who knew him.

Family was of paramount importance to Mrs. Greenbaum, born May 22, 1940, the youngest child of Florence and Frank Mauro in Mount Kisco, N.Y. Her older brothers Vince, Frank and Bob were devoted to her while her mother worked nights and her father sometimes worked two jobs.

She was a member of the second graduating class from Fox Lane High School in Bedford, N.Y., in 1958, and went on to the Wood Secretarial School in New York. She worked for an electronics firm in Mount Kisco after graduating from secretarial school and married David R. Greenbaum of Mount Kisco, whom she had been seeing for five years, on July 23, 1960.

Mrs. Greenbaum was the linchpin at home while her husband finished his service in the Army and began to build his career. She tended scraped knees, maintained the household and turned out gourmet meals, living out her belief in the high calling of the work of wife and mother.

She and her husband were almost always side-by-side, and often on the golf course together in the lifelong hobby they shared. For many years — but only after her children had grown enough — she participated in an annual golf outing with close friends.

Mrs. Greenbaum is survived by her husband, David, now of White Stone, Va.; her son Kurt, daughter-in-law Janis, and grandchildren Sarah and Matthew, of Chesterfield, Mo.; her son Steven, daughter-in-law Danielle, and granddaughter Madeline, of Ardsley, Pa.

Visitation for Mrs. Greenbaum will be from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 12, at Oelker-Cox & Sinatra Funeral Home, 262 E. Main Street, Mount Kisco. The funeral will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 13, at St. Francis Of Assisi Church, 2 Green Street, Mount Kisco.

Russell “Russ” Carlyle Dey Jr., 86, of Reedville, Virginia, and Arlington, Virginia, passed away peacefully on August 4th, 2011 after a long illness. He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Ann Carter Dey. He is survived by his Daughter, Gwen Dey Clarke and husband, Gareth Clarke of Atlanta, Georgia and his son, Ed Dey of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Mr. Dey was born on March 9, 1925 in Reedville, Virginia, and was the son of the late Russell Carlyle Dey Sr. and Jane Marsh Dey Fitchett. He was affectionately known as “Udney” or “Ud” in his home town. Mr. Dey graduated from Reedville High School and attended William & Mary College before joining the US Air Force.

Mr. Dey was a veteran of the US Air Force, serving in World War II as a fighter pilot. He remained active as a pilot in the Air Force Reserve unit (756th Squadron) based at Andrews Air Force Base until the early 1970s. In the private sector, he worked for New York Life Insurance Company and National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) prior to his retirement.

In retirement years, both Mr. Dey and his wife had a part time business selling “collectables” in an antique mall in old town Fredericksburg, Virginia. They enjoyed combing flea markets and auctions, looking for “collectables” to sell in their respective shops.

Mr. Dey traveled the world as a pilot, but always relished his Northern Neck roots. He enjoyed life on and around the water and the fresh seafood that came with the territory. Mr. Dey will be remembered for his passion for flying, love for “collectables”, an entertaining style of piano playing (all by ear) and his unique sense of humor.

Born in Belfast in 1944, he was the only son of Gerald and Sally Denvir, also of Belfast. He grew up hiding behind the legs of big band musicians in ballrooms; his father a renowned clarinet and sax player and his mother a singer. Both his uncles were musicians. Cleo Laine was his godmother. He was educated in England in his early years and later at St. Malachy’s School and Queens University in Belfast.

He followed in the family tradition and became a professional sax player for the Banshees, appearing once on the Ed Sullivan show. When the Banshees disbanded he moved back to Ireland and joined The Mexicans, during the height of the Irish Showband era.

He overcame alcoholism and was a profoundly optimistic man, full of tomorrow’s possibilities and with a solution to every problem. He dared life and he lived each moment, each day on full power, whether on a boat or on his motorbike. In his heart he was always a musician and in recent years he listened to Pavarotti and to Blood, Sweat and Tears with equal passion. He loved to hear the Virginia Symphony play.

In the early years of his first marriage, boat building and sailing became his new passion. Over the next 30 years in Ireland, England, Malta, and White Stone he would build sixty boats, all of wood, including fast racing boats for his daughters. He was fiercely proud of the two classic yachts that he owned and restored – the Merle of Malham, a John Illingworth offshore ¼ tonner, and Rowena, which was built in 1900. With his wife Arabella he established Malta Sailing School in 1993. In 1998, they established Premier Sailing School at the Tides Inn in Irvington.

Philip, who was known locally and universally for his stories, knew that the telling of the tale was the important thing. He lived his life as he told his stories – long, strong, funny, and mostly, in full.

Services are pending and will be announced very soon on curriefuneralhome.net

Robert Thornton Strange, Jr. "Bob" was bom on April 10, 1929, in Annapolis, Maryland to Robert Thornton Strange and Margaret Rose Nickerson Strange. His family was well known in the Annapolis area, having been active in the business, political, and social life of the area since 1850.

"Bob" as his friends knew him, spent his formative years in the Annapolis area attending Green Street Grammar School, Annapolis High School, and Severn School. He spent his summers and weekends sailing his Snipe class sailboat named “‘Lil Stranger" on Spa Creek and the Severn River and was active in Boy Scouts. As a young man, church was extremely important to him, and he served as an altar boy and acolyte at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church. While attending Severn, Bob played football, wrestling, and lacrosse with good friends Buzz Hall and Casey Hernandez and became an outstanding athlete despite his small stature.

Upon graduation from high school in 1947, Bob matriculated to the University of Maryland where he joined the Kappa Alpha fraternity and “lost his heart" to a pretty young coed named Bertha Lee Fleet who would later become his wife. Bob left the University and entered the Merchant Marine Academy in Louisiana, where like the men of his generation, Bob and several friends felt compelled to place their plans "on hold" and answer the nation’s call during the Korean Conflict. In January of 1950, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and by December he and Bertha Lee had married and moved to Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas.

After graduation from the Air Force Aviation Cadet program he was commissioned as a second lieutenant and sent to South Korea where he spent the duration of the war flying Night Intruder raids over North Korea with the Third Light Bomb Wing. During this time he earned several medals and commendations for bravery and service including the Distinguished Flying Cross. From November 1951 to February 1952 Bob and his squad flew 51 successful combat missions.

After returning from Korea, Bob earned his wings as a pilot. ln 1956 the family was stationed at Elmendorf Air Base in Anchorage, Alaska where Bob flew Search and Rescue Missions and received numerous recognitions as a flight instructor. ln 1966 the family relocated back to Annapolis where he was stationed at Andrews Air Force base until retirement in 1970. While at Andrews he earned the Meritorious Service Medal for "consistently demonstrating outstanding leadership, resourcefulness, and technical knowledge in the performance of his duty".

After retirement from the Air Force Bob earned his real estate license and began his second career in commercial property management. He also spent a great deal of time teaching his four children to sail and appreciate the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay. After joining the Annapolis Yacht Club he often spent his weekends and evenings racing on the Bay and through membership in the Alberg 30 group spent many summers touring the bay with his family. His love of sailing culminated in travels with his wife, Bertie, to many destinations along the east coast from Nova Scotia to the Bahamas. Bob had always concerned himself more with the welfare of others than himself and demonstrated it through numerous community service organizations. Through his tireless and unceasing efforts for many groups such as the Salvation Army, Civitan Club, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, and Omni House in Baltimore he has worked faithfully as an advocate for those who could not speak for themselves. After relocating to Weems, Virginia, his efforts expanded to include volunteer service to Historic Christ Church, the Northern Neck Rose Society, the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum, and the vestry of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Heathsville.

His wife of 61 years, Bertha Lee Strange “Bertie", and their four children Robert E. Strange and his wife Millie, Bruce Logan Strange and his wife Brenda, Russell S. Strange, and Susan S. Krieger and her husband Stan survive him. He also leaves behind his brother, Tom Strange, six grandchildren, three step grandchildren, one great grandchild, eleven great step grandchildren, six step great, great grandchildren and his faithful dog George II.

Bob Strange was a true man of character who lived a life of integrity and always concerned himself with the welfare of his family over himself He was a steady and dependable man of tremendous inner strength who showed great care and patience raising his four children with all the love he had. His friends knew him to be the kind of person they could always depend on, no matter the need.
