Shirley A. Holmes
Shirley Ann Holmes, 69, of Sumerduck quietly went to heaven on Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2009. Shirley was born Dec. 2, 1940, in Fauquier County, to Elizabeth Clatterbuck and Nolan R. Holmes. She married Alton Holmes. She worked briefly as a meat cutter with A&P in Warrenton before deciding to become a stay-at-home mom to her five children. As her children got older, she returned to work as a cashier for Faller's Store in Bealeton, Rappahannock Station in Remington, Mayhugh's Store in Midland, and after more than 13 years, she retired from Food Lion/Bloom in Bealeton. Shirley's love for her family, friends and customers brought her many special memories and lots of laughs. In addition, she enjoyed fishing, bluegrass music and stylish, leopard-skin patterns. She will be greatly missed by her and Alton's children, Wanda Holmes Mercer of Culpeper, J.R. Holmes of Sumerduck, Littie Holmes of Midland, Missy Holmes of Warrenton, and Shannon (Marsha) Holmes of Culpeper; her grandchildren, Jennifer Holmes, Thomas Holmes, Brooke and Joseph Heflin, and Savannah and McKenzie Holmes; and great- grandson Koen Doson. She is also survived by her brother, Herb Holmes of Reidsville, N.C., her sisters, Irene Frazier and Melinda Frazier of Midland. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her granddaughter, Katelyn Holmes. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17, at Moser Funeral Home Inc., 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, where a funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 18.
