Mary Storm Westbrook's Obituary
Mary Westbrook, 64, of Spotsylvania County, passed away at home early on Monday, June 11, 2018.
Born in Corpus Christi, TX, to Evelyn and Joe Plaza, Mary attended Baylor University and the University of Michigan. In 1978, she ventured to Virginia for a position with the National Park Service, where she met her husband, Tommy Westbrook. Mary worked for the Central Rappahannock Regional Library for most of her career and was an active member of Zoan Baptist Church, Peace United Methodist Church, the Stafford Regional Handbell Society, the Fredericksburg Singers, Girl Scouts, and numerous committees with Spotsylvania County Schools.
Mary embodied a calm, self-assured approach to life and was kind to everyone she met. Her undeniable charm rested on kindness and consideration for others, and this, plus her talent for organization, made her a valuable member of any group she joined. She will be remembered for her generosity, her optimism, her selflessness, and her endless support for everyone she knew.
She is survived by her husband of 39 years, Tommy; sisters Polly Reetz and Betty Malone; daughters Elise Phillips (Jonathan) and Joanne; and granddaughters, Alexis, Kaylee, and Chloe.
Mary’s memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 23 at Peace United Methodist Church, 801 Maple Grove Dr, Fredericksburg.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Stafford Regional Handbell Society, 112 Juliad Ct #111, Fredericksburg, VA 22406 or the Peace United Methodist Church music program.
