A. Michael Worrell VIRGINIA BEACH - A. Michael Worrell passed away June 5, 2010 after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 67. He was, among many things, a son, a brother, entrepreneur, adventurer, and great friend. Most of all Mike was a loving husband and father. He was born in South Norfolk but spent his adult life in Virginia Beach where he and his brother Chris were lifeguards and innovative restaurant owners. They were best known for the popular restaurant Worrell Brothers. Michael was also the founder of Worrell's Steamed Shrimp. Sailing was his passion. He was the founder and director of the "Worrell 1000," a 1000- mile ocean race for small catamarans that stretched from Miami to Virginia Beach. The sailing world recognized this event as one of the most grueling races ever organized. It was immortalized in a National Geographic documentary that drew the attention of every major sailing publication around the globe. Michael also proudly served in the U.S. Coast Guard. He was predeceased by his mother, Frances, brothers, Chris and Heider. Michael is survived by his wife of 10 years, Mendy, and adult children, Barron and Elizabeth of Virginia Beach.

HOLBERG, Mrs. Mary Anne Kitchin died with peace and dignity in her home early Tuesday morning, June 2, 2010. She was 82 years old. Her quiet passing followed an extensive struggle with numerous health problems, most notably Parkinson's Disease. "Anne" was the daughter of Donald Linwood Kitchin, Como, North Carolina and Mabel Bradshaw Kitchin, Isle of Wight County, Virginia. She is survived by her husband, Fred Duane Holberg, Missouri Falls, Iowa; and daughter, Kristin Ann Holberg, Chesapeake, Virginia. Other surviving family includes sisters, Page Kitchin Lane, Cassandra Kitchin DeLoatch Gray and husband, Gene Gray; brother, James Linwood Kitchin and wife, Jamie Parker Kitchin; brother-in-law, Earl James Holberg and wife, Lois Holberg; and sister-in-law Margaret Punch Holberg. Her surviving cousins, nieces, and nephews were beloved, but too numerous to include. Anne was born October 1927. She moved about Southside Virginia several times during childhood, but like Jesus, never lived more than 50 miles from where she was born, Franklin, Virginia. Her qualities of energy, creativity, artistry, and work ethic served her well as she grew up during the Great Depression. Grandmother Lula Gatling Kitchin trained her to be an accomplished needle artist and seamstress. Anne's love and gift for music, inherited from "Daddy" Kitchin, were channeled into piano and swing dance. Even her memorable meals were worthy reflections of her Virginia-Carolina heritage, but Anne's crowning achievement was when she decided, mid-life, to become an artist. Attending classes at Tidewater Community College exposed Anne to a variety of media and the most prominent local instructors of the time. Artists such as John Head, Jack Clifton, Janet Walsh, Robert Clonz, and Robert Burnell all enjoyed and spoke well of her as a student. Anne went on to help found and establish the Smithfield Brush and Pallete Club, participate in the Smithfield Arts Calendar, and both judge and receive awards at local art shows. The gradual failing of Anne's health prevented her from traveling further afield with her art. However, she spent the remaining years of her life creating a beautiful home with her husband near Bacon's Castle and maintaining a home art studio, Hog Island Studios, which over looked Lower Chippokes Creek and Chippokes Plantation State Park. She always maintained an attitude that "I do everything because I enjoy it and most all, at this point, I like to paint with my friends." She will be missed for that love of life, her inner strength and endurance through suffering, and for proving herself to be a worthy representative of America's "Greatest Generation". A funeral service will be conducted at 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 10, 2010 at Baker-Foster Funeral Home, Bennett's Creek Chapel, 5685 Lee Farm Lane, Driver Station, Suffolk, Virginia 23435. Burial will follow at 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. in Meadowbrook Memorial Gardens, 4569 Shoulders Hill Road, Suffolk, Virginia. The family will receive friends from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the Funeral Home. Memorial contributions may be made to "The Sigma Alpha Iota Rose Scholarship Fund" care of Longwood University Foundation, 201 High Street, Farmville, Va. 23909.
