Virginia Howells - Obituary

irginia S. Howells, 95, of Davidsonville, died September 17, 2012 at Severna Park Center where she had been a resident for several years. Virginia was born in Chicago and moved to Seat Pleasant, MD at an early age where she was raised and educated. She and her husband, William A. Howells, moved to Davidsonville in 1970 where she was as active in the Davidson- ville United Methodist Church as she had been in the Methodist Church in Seat Pleasant. Her favorite pastime was reading, and she was an avid reader of novels, biographies and histories, especially English histories. She baked delicious pies (Bill’s favorite dessert) for all family, church and civic occasions. She could make a cherry pie quick as a cat could wink an eye… Mrs. Howells was preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, her daughter, Joanne Cannon; and two brothers, Buck Hastings (Lois) and Donald Hastings (Agnes). Surviving are her son, Dennis Howells (Ann) of Carrollton, TX; grandchildren, Jeffrey Neviaser (Kathy) of Arnold, MD, Russell Howells (Deana) of Flower Mound, TX and Denise Howells of Carrollton, TX; and great grand-children, Christian and Sara-Rose. She is also survived by a sister, Jean Anderson of Davidsonville; a brother, Bob Hastings of Edgewater, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Friends are invited to Virginia's Life Celebration on Friday, September 21, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8PM at the George P. Kalas Funeral Home, 2973 Solomons Island Road, Edgewater, where a funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 22 at 11am. Interment will be in Lakemont Memorial Gardens, Davidsonville.
