The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday at Pritts Funeral Home & Chapel, 412 Washington Road, Westminster.

A funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Monday at the funeral home, with the Rev. Mario Conliffe, of St. George's Episcopal Church, officiating. Interment will be private.
