Carolyn (Cal) Cranor, of Roanoke, Va., was born on July 7, 1927, in Providence, R.I. She flourished in a doting family which included two sets of Swedish grandparents; big sister, Bev; and a special "police" dog named Wag. She inherited her family's non-stop sense of humor, love of yogurt (coffee was Cal's favorite), diligent work ethic, and unfailingly friendly attitude. She loved the movies throughout her life, and fondly remembered having to sneak to see Gone With the Wind because of its thencontroversial scenes. Cal was very busy with four children born in five years during the fifties, but still made lifelong friends during that time by teaching English to several international families. She raised her family with an even temper and a sense of humor. Cal worked continuously, past retirement, because independence and helping others was so important to her. Cal always looked on the positive side and saw the best in all people, even when we couldn't see it ourselves. Cal passed away on Friday, June 25, 2010, and is preceded in death by her grandparents, John and Maria Burgess and Emil and Anna Benson; her parents, Edward and Alva Benson; her best friend Dale Burton; her grandson, Ben Nye; and her dog, Wag. She is survived by her sister, Bev Leoni; sister of the heart, Sophie Allen; sons, Dan and Bill Cranor; daughters, Phoebe DeMuth and Tess Anderson; daughters-in-law, Liz and Courtney Cranor; grandsons, Ben Cranor and Michael Nye; granddaughters, Brady Schuster, Dana Jonas, Marjorie Nye, Aleks Schmidt, Lisette and Josie Cranor; cousins, Meredith Proffit and Sandra Benson; and numerous other special family members and friends.

Remembering him is easy, I do it every day, but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away. In Loving Memory of our Husband, Father and Grandfather Murray O. Cartrette ~Deborah, John, Lisa and Madyson |

Thomas A. Queen CHESAPEAKE - Dr. Thomas A. Queen, 71, passed away peacefully at his home June 27, 2010 surrounded by his family, following a courageous battle with cancer. Dr. Queen graduated from Oberlin College where he was a member of the varsity golf team. He obtained his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo. He served as a surgeon for 20 years in the U.S. Navy, a career which included service on the USS Estes and USS Sanctuary during the Vietnam War. He was stationed at the Naval Hospitals in Jacksonville, Fla., San Diego, Calif., Rota, Spain and retired as the chief of surgery in Portsmouth. Following his retirement, and for another two decades, Dr. Queen continued to care for patients in the Portsmouth/ Chesapeake area as a private practitioner of general surgery. In his retirement, Dr. Queen was able to resume the practice of golf (at which he was quite adept), playing with a regular four-some. He was an avid reader, and in recent years, an amateur mathematician. The accomplishment of which he was proudest and that gave him the most joy was achieved with Blanche, his wife of 47 years - the successful raising and education of four daughters: two are practicing physicians and two are practicing attorneys. Dr. Queen is also survived by three grandsons. The youngest bears his name. Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, gifts in memoriam may be made to Bon Secours Hospice, 3636 High St., Portsmouth, VA 23707. Condolences may be sent to the family at Thomas QueenMemorial@gmail.com. |

FARRELL, William Anthony, 85, of Richmond, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 27, 2010. He was born in Syracuse, N.Y., the son of the late James A. and Rose M. Farrell. He was also predeceased by his brother, James J. Farrell; and his sister, Rosemary Burke. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Joyce Davern Farrell; two sons, William Anthony "Tony" Farrell Jr. and wife, Laura, of Richmond, and Richard Davern "Rick" Farrell and wife, Connie, of Charlotte, N.C.; and his grandchildren, Katherine Joyce Farrell, Lucy Davern Farrell and William Anthony Farrell III. Mr. Farrell grew up in Syracuse, where he graduated from Most Holy Rosary High School. He briefly attended Syracuse University before enlisting in the U.S. Navy to serve as a lieutenant (j.g.) aboard the attack transport USS Henry T. Allen in the South Pacific during WWII. After returning from service, Mr. Farrell graduated magna cum laude with honors in Economics from Colgate University in 1947 and was elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. He then received his LLB degree from Yale Law School in 1950. Mr. Farrell began his career practicing corporate law at the law firms of Mudge, Stern, Baldwin & Todd and Olwine, Connelly & Chase in New York, N.Y., and later returned to Syracuse to join the law firm of Mackenzie, Smith, Lewis, Michell & Hughes. In 1962, he accepted a position as senior attorney in the international division of Reynolds Metals Company in Hamilton, Bermuda. Mr. Farrell was appointed assistant general counsel of Reynolds International, Inc. when the division was relocated to Richmond in 1965 and was elected vice president and general counsel and secretary in 1982, continuing in that capacity until his retirement from the company in 1998. Beginning with his time in Bermuda and throughout his 36-year career with Reynolds, Mr. Farrell continuously traveled across the world to Reynolds' foreign subsidiaries and affiliated companies. Mr. Farrell will always be remembered by his wife, sons, grandchildren, relatives and extended Reynolds family as the ultimate "straight-arrow": a self-made man and consummate professional who prized honesty, integrity, courage and high standards above all else. At the same time, he will be greatly missed for the warmth, humor, devotion and love he brought to his family and the wonderful example he set for all who knew him.
