Thomas Lane "Smoke" Beavers, age 84, of Tucker, Ga., passed away at Hospice Atlanta on July 8, 2009, joining his precious wife Brownie on their wedding anniversary. Tom was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He reached out to the people he met with wit and charm and often left them with a two dollar bill and a smile on their faces. Tom and Brownie were dancers extraordinaire and loved to "trip the light fantastic" at every opportunity. Tom was born in Richlands, Va., on Nov. 12, 1924, to Thomas A. and Nanola M. Beavers, who like his brother Pete predeceased him. He is survived by his daughters Cindy Bickman (Mike) and Stephanie Holby (Bill), and grandchildren, Alison, Lane, Elisabeth, and Neil Holby, all of the Atlanta area. After serving the country he loved as an Army Air Corps pilot, Tom graduated from Virginia Tech and became a lifelong Hokie fan. He rose through the building construction industry to serve as President of McDonough Construction Company in Atlanta and later to form his own company and leave a mark on the commercial landscape locally and internationally. His love of children lead him and Brownie to invest much of their lives in Camp Chattooga for Girls in Tallulah Falls, Ga., and in Chattooga Gymnastics in Marietta, Ga., while loving and nurturing their four precious grandchildren as they grew up with "Nana and Papa". The family held a celebration of his life on Sun., July 12, at 4 p.m. at Tucker First United Methodist Church.

Cathryn F. Landis HERTFORD - This is not an obituary. Obituaries are about death. Cathryn Louise Frazier Landis, "Yia Yia," is a timeless soul who will forever demand only to live, once in a body and now in the spirits of all who know her. She was born in 1934 to Joseph and Anastasia Frazier in Quantico, Va. Cathryn could always make people feel good, whether it was with a haircut at her salon, Louise's House of Beauty in Quantico, through her generous, loving and passionate spirit, or simply with a mischievous wink. She was a voracious reader who found great happiness spending time at the beach. Cathryn married Kenny Landis in 1964 and eventually relocated to North Carolina. She shared a rare, beautiful, and admirable lifelong bond with her daughter, Kleo, and grandsons, Matthew and Alex. To each, she was a best friend. Cathryn had a large circle of wonderful friends and admirers - old and young. She served tirelessly in her community as a Sunday school teacher and member of Edenton United Methodist Church and as a beautician at Edenton Prime Time Retirement Village. She possessed a remarkable will to live. For 16 years, she showed cancer who was boss. Her life was truly an expression of the grace of God. Cathryn never knew how to say no, so when the Lord came for her on July 10, 2009, she went beautifully and peacefully with Him on to the next adventure. Look out Heaven, there's a new star in town. Her family includes dog, Beau; husband, retired Gunnery Sergeant Kenneth William Landis (deceased); daughter, Kleopatra Garland and husband Jake Garland of Amherst, Va.; grandsons, Matthew Garland of Golden, Colo., Alexander and wife Cara Garland of Golden, Colo.; siblings, Elizabeth Waters, Mary Booth, Rosalie Frazier, and Diane Frazier of Quantico, Va., Peggy Stein of Cincinnati, Ohio, Rene Martina of Warren, Mich.; deceased siblings: Anna deRosia, John Frazier, Tony Frazier, William Frazier. Services will be held Saturday, Aug. 1, 2009, at 11 a.m. in Edenton United Methodist Church. A private burial will be held in Quantico National Cemetery, Triangle, Va. In lieu of flowers, please donate to St. Jude's Children's Hospital, P.O. Box 50 Memphis, TN 38101. The family would like to thank the hospital staff of Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville, N.C., Chowan Hospital in Edenton, N.C., Lynchburg General Hospital in Lynchburg, Va., and Sentara Heart Hospital in Norfolk along with her oncology doctors at Physicians East, Dr. H.
