DARTHY ANN DEANE GARDNER
Darthy Ann Deane Gardner
died at her home on February 2, 2022, at the age of 74, after a battle with
lymphoma. She left us the way she wanted - surrounded by family and in her own
home on a beautiful spot of land she called her personal Eden. She lived in
her Earlysville home for nearly ten years, tending to all of God's creatures,
great and small, and occasionally a neighbor's cat. Darthy had an inspiring
sense of wonder at all of the beauty life offers - from the first flower of
the spring, to the sounds of birds singing their morning songs. She had a
generous spirit and would often go out of her way to hug a stranger to let
them know they were seen and were not alone. Darthy was born in Quinqy,
Virginia, and went to William Monroe High School. She served as a Budget
Officer for both the Department of Interior and the Department of
Transportation during her successful career with the Federal Government.
Darthy is survived by her daughter, Tiffany Potter; sisters, Janice Powell,
Carolyn Deane, and Mary Francis Powell; brother, Larry Deane; and father,
Bennie Frank Deane. She joins her brother, Bennie Frank Deane Jr.; sister,
Lois Carol Dean; and mother, Wilma Deane. At Darthy's request, there will be
no memorial service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation
be made in Darthy's honor to the Charlottesville ASPCA or the Wildlife Center
of Virginia.

SIGOURNEY DEANE SHIFFLETT
About 6 o'clock Feb 28, 1934, Mrs. Sigourney Shifflett of Newport News, passed
peacefully away at her home. Mrs. Shifflett was the widow of G.W. Shifflett who
preceded her to the grave three years ago. These people formerly lived at Lydia
and later acquired a wanderlust and lived near Charlottesville, Bedford and
Gordonsville, finally going to Florida, where Mr. Shifflett died. They were good
people and very much missed in our community when they left. They took quite an
interest in the church, schools and civic areas of the community and this writer
still feels a great sympathy for the bereaved children who were once her pupils
in school. Mrs. Shifflett was born 3, April 1864, near Swift Run. Her parents
were Morgan and Susan Deane. Mrs. Shifflett is survived by two brothers, Snell
and Daniel Deane of Elkton, and two sisters Mrs. Wesley Meadows of McMullan and
Mrs. Kell Eppard of Elkton. Seven children were born to their union, one dying
in infancy. Surviving are Harvey L. Shifflett and Elmer T. Shifflett of Detroit
Mich; Herman W. Shifflett of Altoons Pa.; Mrs. Virginia Callahan of Lynchburg
and Mrs. Maysie P. Freeman and Mrs. Violette Eldred of Newport News who was
living with her mother at the time of her death. A nice letter from the oldest
son, Harvey L., was appreciated very much in which he described the passing away
of his mother. He said she had suffered a paralytic stroke only a few hours
preceding her death, which was quite a shock to these children, all so scattered
and far away that none could be with her except Violette and Maysie. May they
all so live that when called away from this earthly habitation, they may meet
mother in a better land free from all sorrow and pain. Mrs. Shiflett was a good
kind wife and mother and was beloved by all who knew her. Mrs. Shiflett was
buried by the side of her husband in Woodson Cemetery, Stanardsville. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Raleigh W. Burnett March 3 in Stanardsville
Methodist Church. All her children and in-laws were present to pay their token
to mother.

VILVER CLIFFORD DEAN
Vilver Clifford "Skip" Dean, 79, moved on from his earthly journey on Tuesday,
Jan. 29, 2019, in his Elkton home while surrounded by friends and family. Born
Aug. 20, 1939, to Wilson and Aileen Dean, both of whom preceded him in death,
Skip was a lifelong resident of Rockingham County. He grew up on Red Brush
Road and, in his youth, enjoyed the energy and open roads of his hometown.
Gifted as a mason and carpenter, Skip built the home in which he and his wife
lived the past 53 years and helped to construct properties all around Virginia
and West Virginia. He also loved the outdoors and spent many years hunting and
fishing both for pleasure and to provide for his family. A relatively private
man, Skip nonetheless graced those who knew him best with endless wit and
mischief, stories of which will keep his spirit alive for years to come. His
home welcomed many who needed a place to land, whether for a few hours or a
few years, and he was a quiet but steadfast contributor to his neighboring
community. He is remembered by those who love him as a hardworking,
high-spirited man who maintained friendships from his youth well into his
final days and would do anything in his power for his family. Skip is survived
by his wife and longtime sweetheart, Reba Dean, of Elkton, with whom he
celebrated 60 years of marriage on Dec. 20, 2018; his daughter, Doris Ann
Bryant, and her husband, Randy Bryant, of Elkton; one granddaughter, Jamie
Dean, of Alexandria; one stepgrandson, Chris Bryant, and his wife, Jennifer
Bryant, of Port Republic; two stepgreat-grandchildren, Colin and Hannah
Bryant, of Port Republic; and his brother, Norman "Buddy" Dean, of Elkton. A
service to celebrate his life will be conducted at 2 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 3,
2019, at Kyger Funeral Home in Elkton by Pastor Rick Robertson and the Rev.
Steve Bird. Friends and family are invited to join a reception following the
service at St. Peter's United Methodist Church on East Point Road in Elkton.
