Saunders, Judith Elenora Martin View/Sign Guest Book Judith Elenora Martin Saunders Mrs. Judith Elenora Martin Saunders departed her earthly life Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2009, at the University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville. She was born Dec. 7, 1923, in Amherst County and was a daughter of the late James E. and Helen Moore Martin. She graduated from Madison Heights High School and married James W. Saunders on Sept. 26, 1941. Elenora's faithful and devoted life's work was to her family and home. She cared for her husband and raised her three children with all the tender love and dedication that she had. No matter what, her family came ahead of her own personal health and desires. She, along with her husband, made sure that their children grew up in church knowing God and Jesus and the values of family, dignity and respect for others. When her children married and had their own families, she always looked forward to them coming home, especially for Christmas, birthdays and special occasions or anytime they could. She would spend days in the kitchen preparing her special dishes and made sure there was a favorite dish for each family member. There was never a day that her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren doubted her love for them. She was proud of each and every one of them and encouraged them to use their God given talents throughout their lives. Elenora was a former member of Rose Union Baptist Church in Piney River and was currently a member of Ivy Farms Baptist Church in Newport News. She loved flowers and worked part-time for florists making beautiful arrangements. For several years, she looked forward to serving as a volunteer at the James River Convalescent Center in Newport News, helping the patients, especially as they enjoyed a game of Bingo. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by two sisters, Julia Martin and Agnes Alcock. She is survived by her loving husband and best friend of 68 years, James W. Saunders; her daughter, Judy S. McCartney, and her husband, Billy, of Amherst; her two sons, Ron Saunders and his wife, Susan, of Suffolk and Michael W. Saunders and his wife, DaNae, of Yorktown; her sister, Edith M. Foster, of Elon; her grandchildren, Tara, Richard, Robert, Kimberly, Lindsay Grace, Alaina, Megan and Stephen; and her great-grandchildren, Brittany, Anna-Marie and Aleigha.
