In the Spring of 2023,  a dearly beloved member of St. Thomas', Mary Whittle, died.  Mary was a long time member of the church and was involved in many aspects of church life. She was a member of the choir, served on the Vestry, and spent time in charge of the Properties Committee. Mary was a dedicated volunteer with the Food Pantry, and she enjoyed the fellowship and camaraderie of the Parking Lot Ladies.  She was a retired English Teacher and in the early seventies, she was a strong advocate for women’s rights and was the President of the Richmond Chapter of the NOW.  Mary loved music and was often reduced to tears by the beauty of what she was listening to.  We hope naming this concert series after her will be an honor to her memory.
