David Underwood, 71, passed away on February 17, 2025, in Prince Frederick, Maryland.  

Born on January 27, 1954, in the District of Columbia, David lived a life filled with love for the outdoors and deep devotion to his family and faith. He was a strong-willed man who found joy in hunting, fishing, and camping—activities that allowed him to embrace nature and share meaningful moments with those around him. Whether spending time in the wilderness or simply "hanging with the guys," he cherished every opportunity to enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

He was also blessed with several grandchildren who brought him great joy. His bond with his five sisters and brother remained strong throughout his life. He was predeceased by his parents, Catherine and Robert Underwood; his brother Mark Underwood; and his grandson Joseph Johnson.  

Beyond his love for the outdoors, David had an unwavering commitment to his family. He often stepped into roles he didn’t have to, offering guidance and support whenever it was needed. His strength of character and kindness made him not only an amazing man but also a true friend to many. Those who knew him will remember his generosity of spirit and steadfast faith in the Lord.

On January 28, 1936, Gladys was born to the Reverend John William Megginson and Dorothy Mildred Megginson, an educator of Nottoway County, Virginia. At an early age, Gladys came to know the Lord and was baptized by her father in a river near Shilo Baptist Church, where her father was the senior pastor. When her father was called to become the pastor of Mt. Gazerine, Gladys and her family became members of that church and remained members until her passing.

As a grade school child, Gladys was recognized by her teachers and peers as a naturally gifted and talented artist whose hand produced the most magnificent drawings. As she grew older and entered her teenage years, Gladys began to be recognized for her outer beauty and sense of humor.

When Gladys became a young adult, Gladys and her sisters, Fannie and Esther, used to look after both mother and father as they aged. In fact, it was around that time a young man who rented a room across the street from where she lived started asking his landlord, Ms. Amphee about this girl he saw walking down the street with groceries in her arms. Ms. Amphee replied, “Oh that’s Reverend Megginson’s daughter.” That young man was James Preston Hamilton, Jr. from Welch, West Virginia, who had just received his first teaching assignment at her old alma mater. Soon after, and at the right time, James began to help her carry the groceries and after spending time together they realized they had the same goals and similar ideas on how they wanted to live their lives. Thus, on November 4, 1961, they were married and remained married until her death.

Gladys loved being a wife, and as she and James, who she lovingly called Hamilton (He called Gladys, Dear), began to have children, she began to enjoy the joys and responsibility of motherhood. As their family grew, Hamilton took on new teaching assignments to support his family. More opportunities for Hamilton presented themselves that eventually led them to Southern Maryland.

While her husband, Hamilton, established himself within Maryland's Charles County Public School System, Gladys began preparing a spiritual foundation near her new home in the neighboring Prince George’s County. So, in the 1970’s they became members of Covenant Baptist Church. She remained a member until her passing.


She loved music. She was able to assemble an extensive music collection. On Saturdays, classic and contemporary R&amp;B music could be heard playing loudly from her bedroom and filling the entire house. Patti La Belle, Aretha Franklin, and Sam Cooke were a few of her favorites. She also loved traditional gospel music from Franklin and Cooke. When her spirit needed assurance, she would listen to Mahalia Jackson, or country singer Alan Jackson’s gospel CD. Gladys was often viewed sitting in her chair next to her bed reading the Bible while listening to "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" & "I’ll Fly Away."

Gladys loved talking on the phone with family and friends. Her ability to discuss different topics could keep her chatting for hours. Her favorite topics of conversation were God and politics.

Throughout her life, Gladys faced many challenges. Most notable were her battles with breast cancer. One bout began in 2005. The other began in 2018. She was successful in overcoming both thanks to God, the effort she put toward her recovery, and to the many doctors who treated her.

God called Gladys home, but her memory lives on through her beloved husband James Preston Hamilton, Jr.(lovingly Hamilton), daughter Joyce Alverta Hamilton, sons James Preston Hamilton, III, John Megginson Hamilton, and Randall Oliver Hamilton, grandson Jay Hamilton, former daughter-in-law Sonya Lee Hamilton and step-grandchildren Dianna Matthews and Chris Matthews. She leaves her cherished nieces, beloved nephews as well as her friends Miss Hazel, Mrs. Rose Marie Morgan, Mrs. Janette Williams, Ms. Kerrinda, Mr. Duffitt and Mr. Lee.

She was preceded in death by her four legendary sisters, Rosetta Phillips, Fannie Megginson, Esther Fitzgerald and Thelma Scoon.

Family and friends are invited to Gladys' Life Celebration on Wednesday, March 19th from 10-11 AM until the start of the funeral service at 11 AM at Covenant Baptist Church, 3845 S Capitol Street SW, Washington, DC 20032. Burial will follow at Cheltenham Veterans Cemetery, 11301 Robert S. Crain Hwy Cheltenham, MD 20623. 

John Ralph VanDerwerker, 84, passed away on February 16, 2025, in Fort Washington, Maryland.

Born on October 14, 1940, in Summit, New Jersey, John grew up with a love for life that carried through every stage. He grew up in Silver Spring, MD attending Montgomery Blair High School. He continued his education with a degree in history at the University of Maryland, College Park, after which he enlisted in the Naval Reserves. While playing a lot of golf, John was encouraged by a friend to study for his real estate license. With only one third of the book read, he passed and quickly started selling houses. This was such a successful career choice, that he was known as Mr. Wonderworker. He became a broker and opened his own branch of Century 21 in 1979. He was a mentor to many and sold real estate for over 50 years.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, John could always be found watching a game. Whether cheering for the Maryland Terrapins, the Redskins, the Orioles, or watching his grandsons play soccer and baseball, he remained an eternal optimist—both in sports and in life. His unwavering positivity was one of his defining traits; he always found the bright side of any situation.

John cherished time spent with family and friends. He loved relaxing with a cold beer in hand and making memories in Long Beach Island, NJ. His warmth and kindness made him loved by many and liked by all who had the pleasure of meeting him.

John was a devoted and loving husband to Dianna and a proud parent to four daughters: Delani Cashion, Dewi Cashion, Shanna VanDerwerker (Justin), and Ashley Simmons (Sean). He is survived by 2 sisters, Virginia Pace, and Valerie Mudge, 3 nieces, 2 nephews, 4 granddaughters, Tessa, Ciara, Kaia, Erin, and three grandsons, Bodhi, Gavin, and Caleb.

John’s legacy is one of love, optimism, and deep connections with those around them. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, family requests memorial contributions be sent to the <a href="https://give.michaeljfox.org/give/421686/#!/donation/checkout">Michael J. Fox Parkinson's Foundation</a>.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 5, 2025 as an open house starting at noon at the VanDerwerker Residence.


We are going to miss our dad, son, brother, uncle, and friend Chris Kincaid more than words could ever express. On February 16, 2025, there was a tragic accident that took the lives of both him and his beloved dog Boris far too soon. 

Chris was the proud son of Claire and the late Chuck Kincaid. He was the most exceptional and loving father to his two children, Danielle and Christopher (Ashleigh), along with his other partner in crime, his dog Bodhi. He was also an amazing brother to his three siblings, Carolyn (Gregg), Cathy (John) and Chip (Laura) and an incredibly proud uncle to Shannon, Samantha, Bridget, Stephanie, Travis, Kristen, Cate, John, Mollie, Meaghan, Colleen and Kellie (he might've also loved giving a little extra attention to his goddaughters, Kristen and Cate..). Finally, he was the kind of friend that could make you feel special and loved no matter the time or distance. It was a trait that he instilled deeply in his children and one that was admired by all of those that knew him. 

While he dedicated much of his life to building his business, his most precious accomplishment was his family. He was the strongest, most generous, kindhearted, loyal, committed, funny and witty man. He was a phenomenal father at his core. He was his son's biggest inspiration and his daughter's best friend and will continue to be both of those things for the rest of their lives. But what was most impressive about him was his ability to be all of these things to so many people while remaining one of the most humble people we will ever know. A trait he most definitely got from his Dad. 

We are going to celebrate his life together on February 22nd. We plan to celebrate him in the only way he would find acceptable. Casually dressed, eating his favorite food, listening to the Carpenter's and 70's rock, with an ice cold gin and tonic in hand. Please bring a dish to share that makes you think of him. There is nothing that he loved more than enjoying a good meal with his favorite people.

Born on May 20, 1949, in Riverdale, Maryland, Don dedicated nearly three decades of his life to government service. He began his distinguished career as an officer with the Executive Protective Service in Washington, D.C., before joining the United States Secret Service during the Nixon administration. Over the years, he served six U.S. Presidents with honor and dignity, holding a special reverence for Ronald Reagan. His work took him across the globe, ensuring the safety of those under his protection. Following his retirement from the Secret Service in 1996, Don continued to lend his expertise as a consultant with the State Department and Square One Armoring.

He cherished time spent with his wife, Hope; his children, Stephen, Raymond, Kelly, and Patrick (Julie) Worley; and his beloved grandchildren, Beca and Cora Compo, and Lucca and Conall Worley. Whether hunting, boating, fishing, or crabbing together—or tackling home improvement projects—Don found joy in sharing these moments with those he loved most. A skilled cook with a passion for grilling and smoking meats to perfection, he often brought family and friends together over delicious meals. Given his vast professional and personal hobbies, Don's technical acumen positioned him as the "go to" for friends and family on just about every subject for those with car trouble, home system issues, and unique life challenges. His wisdom and fatherly guidance is cherished by so many. 

Don was preceded in death by his parents, Irving and Evelyn Worley, and his sisters, Delores Warner and Jean Worley.   

His legacy of dedication—to both country and family—will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May his memory bring comfort to those who mourn his passing.

He was a board member of Columcille Council of the Knights of Columbus, Prince George’s County, where he was also elected twice to serve as Grand Knight. Finally, Cliff was a member of the St. Ignatius Catholic Church Financial Board.

In addition to his volunteer work, Cliff took pleasure in learning about his family history which prompted an appreciation for genealogy, which resulted in locating distant and extended family members that formed long lasting and meaningful connections. Another one of his greatest joys was working with his St. Augustine High School Alumni Association, Washington, DC chapter where he also served as President. The alumni association, among many things, held fundraisers to support St. Augustine high school students as well as recent graduates that relocated to the DC/Maryland/Northern Virginia area. Above all, he remained an active member of his church and community until his illness left him unable to participate as he desired.

Clifford leaves to mourn his wife of 59 years, Beverly, son Sean (Martina), daughter, Allyson (David Masembwa), granddaughter, Leila, and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.


Relatives and friends are invited to Clifford's Mass of Christian Burial on Friday, March 7, 2025 from 9:30 A.M. until the start of the service at 10:30 A.M. at Saint Ignatius Catholic Church, 2315 Brinkley Rd, Fort Washington, MD 20744.

Judith (Judy) Lynn Hutchinson
September 20, 1945 – February 14, 2025

Judith (Judy) Lynn Hutchinson, 79, passed away peacefully at her home in Annapolis, Maryland, on February 14, 2025. She is survived by her beloved husband of nearly 27 years, Ken; her children, Ryan (Sarah) and Shannon (Mike); her stepson, David (SungEun); her stepchildren, Brad and Tammie (Jim), from a previous marriage; her daughter-in-law, Leigh; her sister, Fran; and 11 cherished grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Margaret, her stepmother, Mollie, and her stepson, Chris.

Born on September 20, 1945, in Akron, Ohio, Judy spent her childhood traveling the world as the daughter of a U.S. Navy Commander, a JAG officer. She lived in Arlington, Va., the U.S. Territory of Guam, Alameda, Calif., and Yokohama, Japan. A 1963 graduate of Alameda High School, she was a spirited leader of the yell team. One of her fondest high school memories was intercepting a pass and running it back for a touchdown in a flag football game. She later earned a degree in psychology from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 1967, where she was a proud member of the Chi Omega sorority.

Judy’s love of politics led her to Washington, D.C., after college where she worked as a congressional aide for U.S. House of Representatives Ohio congressman Clarence Miller. She was once recognized in Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill, as one of the most beautiful women “on the Hill.” Her elegance, style, and grace were admired throughout her life.

Judy raised her children in Athens, Ohio, where she was actively involved in local politics. She worked on various campaigns before becoming an elected official, serving as Athens City Auditor for more than a decade. Her financial expertise earned her two re-elections, and she was instrumental in modernizing the city government, helping to implement technologies such as email and spreadsheets in the early 1990s.

Later in life, Judy found great happiness settling in Annapolis with her husband, who had been in her heart for 66 years. She cherished the town’s Navy traditions and its proximity to national politics. An avid sports fan, she cheered enthusiastically for Navy and The Ohio State University football teams and was a skilled tennis player who competed in local leagues and was thrilled to attend the U.S. Open.

In Annapolis, she built a strong community of friends, including her “Women In Transition” group, and was a beloved member of her homeowners’ community for more than 20 years. She had a magnetic personality and a genuine warmth that made everyone feel welcome. A passionate advocate for equal rights, she remained deeply engaged in current events and politics. She was a creative, strong, and intelligent woman who kept her mind sharp with books and crossword puzzles, a hobby she shared with her husband.

Judy loved animals, plants, flowers, cooking, and all things Irish and Japanese. She enjoyed traveling and was grateful for the opportunity to visit Ireland and South Korea in recent years. Above all, she was a devoted mother and stepmother, raising two strong, successful children and embracing her stepchildren with love. Her grandchildren adored her, and she treasured many special lifelong friendships. Judy’s kindness, strength, and radiant spirit will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Friends and family are invited to celebrate Judy's life on Saturday, June 28, 2025 from 11 am until her Celebration of Life begins at 12 noon at the Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory, 2973 Solomons Island Road, Edgewater, MD. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a cause very close to Judy’s heart, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, P.O. Box 22324, New York, NY 10087 or <a href="https://www.lls.org/?campaign=390400">www.lls.org</a>.

Stevie C. Wilcox, known to most as “Steve,” was born on February 22, 1961, in Laurel, Mississippi, to Hiram and Jessie Wilcox. He was the oldest of four children.  After battling an illness, he passed away on February 14, 2025.

As a child, Steve was always quiet and reserved. He carried around a monkey with long legs everywhere he went. Once, he stuck a nail file in an outlet, and it shot him across the room. He then told everyone to make sure not to do that. In high school, he was extremely competitive, becoming a good athlete in baseball, basketball, soccer, and bowling. After his first year of college in Texas, he came back able to do Michael Jackson's moonwalk, which shocked everyone.

Steve graduated from Central High School in Maryland in 1979. In 1981, he decided to join the military, and he served 23 years in the United States Air Force. He was assigned to Andrews AFB, Maryland, working in oral and maxillofacial surgery for 10 years, during which time he was also deployed in support of Operation Desert Storm. In 1994, He was reassigned to Kadena AFB in Okinawa, Japan, where he served for 4 years, and then to Spangdahlem AFB near Bitburg, Germany, for another 4 years. He finished his career at Bolling AFB in Washington, D.C., and he retired from the Air Force in March 2005.

In 1982, Steve married the love of his life, Valerie, and they had 3 children: Lindsay, Courtney, and Ryan. Steve was always a very diligent worker. For 10 years, in addition to his full-time job, he worked a part-time job at the Verizon Center to make sure all his children could go to college. They all graduated, and he never failed to mention how proud he was of them. He was always a good husband and father and never wanted anyone to go out of their way for him.
 
In 2005, Steve started his second career working for the federal government in the Department of Homeland Security Administration for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). For most of this part of his career, he was a Supervisor: Coordination Center Officer (SCCO). In the protocol office, he supported many VIPs that traveled through U.S. airports. He was committed to his work and did an outstanding job ensuring all of the VIPs received first-class treatment. He supported higher-level officials such as accredited ambassadors to the U.S., Wounded Warriors, Congressional representatives, and veterans participating in honor flights. He received a certificate of Congressional Recognition stating, “He distinguished himself as a person of merit, intellect, diplomacy and professionalism in all matters under his responsibility”.  He retired from the TSA in July 2023 after 18 years of service and looked forward to enjoying retirement life.
 
Steve loved attending his son Ryan’s sporting events whether the sport was soccer, basketball, or football. The other players would always say, “Your dad is at every game!” and that was true. There was nothing that would keep him from going, although sometimes he thought it was ok to coach from the bleachers. His son was also proud of him and loved talking about NFL and NBA teams and games with him. Steve also enjoyed attending live sporting events whenever he could with his wife and son. He collected sports bobbleheads and had many autographed sports pictures and memorabilia that he cherished. He loved to watch animal documentaries and looked forward to Shark Week. He shared his love for sci-fi, fantasy, and monster media with his daughter Courtney, and his daughter Lindsay played a big role in his conversion to the Catholic faith.
 
Steve was enormously proud of all of his children and their accomplishments. His children always knew how proud he was of them; they never had to wonder because he always let them know. Whatever they needed, he was right there to provide. Neither rain nor snow nor sunshine would keep him from being there. Even if his children just wanted to talk about something or get advice, he was there for them. Steve was always very animated in his stories to them and others, and that is
something everyone will remember.

Steve and his wife Valerie enjoyed many activities together such as traveling, riding bikes, taking walks, going to the movies, and taking a cruise now and then. They were also just as happy sitting at home watching television and just being together. After retiring, they relocated to Delaware and really enjoyed living there along with meeting their new neighbors and friends.

Steve enjoyed bowling and other outings with his friends, doing yard work, and talking to his dad many times a day about various topics.

Steve will be deeply missed by his family and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Jessie P. Wilcox, and his brother Hiram C. Wilcox Jr. He leaves to cherish his memory his devoted wife of 42 years, Valerie; along with his children, Lindsay, Courtney, and Ryan Wilcox; his father; Hiram C. Wilcox Sr. (Bridgette); his sister, Linda Allen (Wade); his brother, John Wilcox (Harding); his nieces and nephews Wade B., Nina, Benjamin, Kayla, Sydney, and Jackson; and many other family members and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to Stevie's Life Celebration on Monday, March 10, 2025 from 10 to 11 A.M. at St John The Evangelist Catholic Church, 8908 Old Branch Avenue Clinton, MD 20735. Readings from the family will be shared, beginning at 10:30 A.M. A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 11 A.M. The burial will take place at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery. Please have any flowers delivered directly to the church by 10 A.M. 

Charles “Richard” Rose III was born on January 16th, 1957, in Waynesboro, VA, the youngest of three children at the time. He lived in Waynesboro until age 8, when his mother, Joyce, and step-father, Harry, relocated the family to Oxon Hill, MD.

That is where Richard would make life-long friendships and create the memories that shaped his life. If you asked Richard, he would tell you he had THE BEST childhood. His Mom and his adoring Grandma were his biggest fans as he played football, basketball, baseball, and soccer through Boys and Girls Club and then in high school. He loved reminiscing about the ‘glory days’ of the OHHS basketball team’s winning record of 20-0 and how his mother attended every game he ever played in every sport. He loved showing pictures of the thousands of bottles and cans amassed on his back porch for senior pranks and telling story after story of high school and college adventures.

His summers as a boy often included trips to rural Virginia to spend time on his great uncle’s farm, often with his cousins. He would reflect on how Uncle Henry was totally self-sufficient on his farm, how quiet it was, and how dark the night skies were. Reunions in the country included feasts of fried chicken and amazing pies and cakes served up on the flatbeds of farm trucks and trailers.

During high school, he took a job working with Joe and Anthony Conte, and he worked with them through college at the University of Maryland. They encouraged him to get his real estate license and gave him their listings. He was licensed in 1978 and often took sales calls on the dorm phone.

 He was a natural at sales and earned the titles of Rookie of the Year and New Home Salesperson of the Year.

 His most powerful gift may have been that of attracting people. He grew his REMAX franchise to the largest global level and held that spot for three years. He won multiple awards as a franchise owner, including the coveted Distinguished Service Award. He knew that his successes were due to the company he kept- the wonderful men and women who were agents in the company. The energy was undeniable, and Richard tested limits and broke barriers during his years in the industry. But what he appreciated most were the friendships created, the memories of great successes, and the chance to celebrate. He was known for throwing great parties, organizing charitable golf events, and making people laugh. He was truly excited for the success of those who worked with him. And he held firm that he worked for the agents, not they for him. If you were part of his company, you were family.

 Richard’s greatest partnership began on Valentine’s Day in 1979 when he met Brenda, the love of his life. They built a beautiful life together, raising six children and instilling in them a love for sports and music. In 1998, Brenda joined Richard in his real estate business, helping it grow with her dedication and support. Richard was Brenda’s biggest fan, especially regarding her band performances. You could find him trying to quiet everyone down at her shows so they could listen to her voice.

Always the competitor, he played basketball in men’s leagues alongside his dear friend Brad and was reported to be a menacing defender. He loved to watch Maryland Terrapins basketball and his beloved Redskins (couldn’t say Commanders) and was lucky enough to see them win.

But of all his achievements, he would tell you that he was most proud of his family. Richard was a father of six kids, grandfather (“Pop Pop”) of eight and counting, and could never say enough about them. He was so very proud of who they were, their lives, their work, and the fact that they all still included their parents in their lives. His kids were his social life, and that was enough. He was grateful for the relationships his children had with their chosen loved ones and their families and looked forward to any excuse for getting together.

Richard is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 42 years, Brenda Rose; their children, Matthew Rose (Missy), Amelia Rose, Veronica Rose, Natalie Rose, Austin Rose (Candace), and Abigail Rose (Jacob); their grandchildren, Lacey Harding, Wyatt Rose, Marissa Albero, Lilly Albero, Adrianna Rose, Zachary Rose, and Macy Moery, his brother David Rose, his sisters Diane Donovan and Elizabeth Reynolds Harvey, and his seven nephews.

He was grateful to his nephews Jason, Johnny, and Justin Donovan and always appreciative of Robert Drescher, Jeremy Connor, Brian Stewart, Melissa Rose, Candace Rose, and Jacob Moery for the love and care they provided as partners for his children. Richard always respected the constant love and support of Brenda’s parents, Otto and Corinne Peyer, as well as her sister Debbie and brothers Billy, Ricky, and Eddie.

He is predeceased by his mother, Joyce Juanita Reynolds, his step-father, Harry Reynolds, and his grandson, Charlie Daniel Connors III.

Friends are invited to celebrate Richard's life at the Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory, 2973 Solomons Island Rd., Edgewater, MD on Thursday, February 27 from 1 pm until his memorial service begins at 3 pm.  In lieu of flowers, memorials in his name may be made to St. Jude Childrens Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105

Family and friends are invited to gather from 10 to 11 AM on Friday, February 21st at the Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory, 6160 Oxon Hill Road Oxon Hill, MD 20745. The Funeral Service will begin promptly at 11 AM. 

Relatives and friends are invited to Bobbie's Life Celebration on Thursday, February 20, 2025 from 12 P.M. to 2 P.M. at the KALAS FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY, 6160 Oxon Hill Road, Oxon Hill, MD 20745. A graveside service will be held at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date. 

Janet Gleason White, 75, passed away on February 11, 2025. At the time of her death, Janet was doing one of the things that she enjoyed the most. She was on a Caribbean cruise with her sister, Diane, and four of her close friends, her Alpha Xi Delta sorority sisters.

Janet lost the love of her life, Bob White, who predeceased her in 2023 after 46 years of marriage.

Janet was the eldest of seven children: Diane Gleason (Stotesbury), Susan Gleason (Cady), Stephen Gleason, Richard Gleason, Catherine Gleason (Hollis), and Mark Gleason. Her parents, Lt. Col. James Gleason and Rosemary Gleason predeceased Janet.

Janet was educated at public schools in Oxon Hill, Maryland and graduated from Oxon Hill Senior High School. She then earned a bachelor degree in education from Frostburg State College and a Masters degree in special education from Bowie State College. She taught in Maryland public schools for more than 30 years.

Janet was an enthusiastic, dedicated, and talented teacher who touched the lives of all of her students. Janet continued to work with children, tutoring them for many years after her retirement.

Janet was as devout Catholic and was active as a member of her church, St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Clinton, MD. At the time of her death, she was teaching CCD classes regularly for the children at her church.

Janet had many and varied interests. She loved to travel, especially with family, her husband, and her beloved sorority sisters. She loved to read and belonged to two book clubs. She and her husband Bob acted in local community theater, including the Port Tobacco Players.

Janet and Bob were not blessed with children of their own, but they loved and were part of the lives of their 15 nieces and nephews.

She was our sister, aunt, great-aunt, cousin, friend, and a fellow child of Christ. Hers was a life of service and inclusion. At 75 years of age, she was more active and had a more vibrant social calendar than many at half her age. She was an advocate for learning and had more than three decades of experience as an educator. She was a spokesperson for MS, organizing and participating in many activities to make progress toward a cure. She was a caregiver and home nurse to her husband Bob. With her siblings, she demonstrated what it means to be a loving, devoted daughter when her mother needed her. Janet was the glue that held family and friends together; it was mostly due to her efforts that so many memories were made that we now cherish.

From charity events to sorority trips, from family gatherings to Mass, from birthdays to book club, Janet made sure everyone felt included and welcome. Her home and heart were always open. While we are missing her, many are celebrating her arrival in Heaven.

Janet will be remembered as an energetic, very intelligent woman who came of age at a time when women in this country were second-class citizens. Janet did not accept the status quo; she always spoke her mind, advancing the dignity of everyone. Janet will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Janet, we love you.

James "Jim/Jimmy" Sypult, 62, of Edgewater, MD, and formerly of Hyattsville and Huntingtown, passed away on Monday, February 10, 2025, at Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis, MD, following a courageous 10-year battle with pulmonary fibrosis.

Born on November 5, 1962, in Washington, DC, to the late Martha Ann Short Sypult Lewis Bliss and Jack Sypult, Jim lived a life defined by hard work, faith, and a deep love for family and friends. A graduate of Northern High School, he dedicated himself to his career, first with EJ Whalen-Plumbing Co. and later with Pepco, where he worked tirelessly for 34 years as a Lead Line Mechanic before retiring. Never one to sit still, Jim continued his passion for the trade as an Electrical Superintendent for Anchor Construction until his passing.

A man of unwavering faith, Jim was a longtime member of Chesapeake Christian Fellowship in Davidsonville, MD, where he found strength and community. He was also a member of the Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association, embracing his love for the water. Whether out on the boat, golfing with friends, traveling to new places, or spending time at the beach, Jim found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He had a special love for crabs, enjoying countless crab feasts surrounded by family and friends—moments that brought him true happiness.

Jim’s generous spirit was evident in everything he did. A natural problem-solver and "handyman extraordinaire," he was always the first to lend a helping hand. In his earlier years, he made cherished memories as a Cub Scout den leader and relished the adventures of RV life while traveling to dirt bike races with his son. Above all, Jim treasured the time spent with his loved ones, creating lasting memories filled with laughter, love, and togetherness.

Jim’s legacy of kindness, hard work, and devotion to those he loved will live on in the countless lives he touched.

In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his son, Stephen Sadelson. He is survived by his loving wife, Sandy Wing; his children, Trevor Sypult, Tyler (Kara) Wing, Kimberly (Giovanni) Sadelson Figueroa, and Michael (Pamela) Sadelson; his daughter-in-law, Katie Alsop; his siblings, Jack Sypult, Jeanne Sypult, and Jeff Lewis;  his cherished grandchildren, Joseph, Madison, Isabelle, Bryanna, Isla Grace, and Brennan; and a one-month-old great-grandchild, Vienna Rose.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Jim's life on Friday, February 14, from 11:30 AM until his funeral service begins at 1:00 PM at Chesapeake Christian Fellowship, 377 W. Central Ave., Davidsonville, MD. Interment will follow at Lakemont Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Davidsonville.
