Thelma PRICE Obituary
Mrs. Price was born on Nov. 2, 1913, in Irvington, Va., the daughter of George Timothy and Virginia Ashburn Benson.
Mrs. Price was the widow of Millard Gwathmey Price, and she is survived by their children, Gwendolyn Price Carneal, Stephen Wayne Price and Glenith Price Whitaker; grandchildren, Lisa C. Yuhase, Tracy C. Winegar, Vicky C. Dennis, Kelly C. Lange, Christopher W. Price, CWO-4 (sel) Troy A. Price USMC, and Brent A. Whitaker; as well as 10 great-grandchildren. Other surviving family members are five nephews, a niece, and several first cousins, including Warren Ashburn and Raymond Benson.
After retiring as a business manager and as the organist of 40 years for Clarksbury United Methodist Church, Mrs. Price continued to serve the community by volunteering at a local church and various organizations, delivering clothes and toys to needy families, along with nurturing her flower gardens and playing her piano. Her favorite advice to others was "think positive, keep your mind alert and pray a lot."
The family will receive friends at the Bristow-Faulkner Funeral Home Chapel in Saluda, Va., on Sunday, April 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. Funeral services will be conducted 11 a.m. Monday, April 19, 2010, in Clarksbury United Methodist Church, Hardyville, Va., with interment in the church cemetery.

Glenith, Brent , and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. I have nice memories of Mrs. Price, from over 37 years ago when I moved to to Gloucester, every time she waited on me at Office Supply. It was always with a smile and the grace of a true Southern Lady. She will be missed, but hold tight to your memories.
