Maria Markham Obituary
"Marialynn" was born May 17, 1962 in Maryland. She was the daughter of the late Don and Mary Davis Markham.
"Woman" was preceded in death by her husband and one true love, Joseph Berry; her sister, Mary Christine; and her brother, David.
Maria is survived by her daughter, Emma "mini woman" Markham; and son, Donald "Hardway" Middleton and two grandchildren, Ava "The princess" Hawkes and Christopher "Nug" Lambert.
She was a retired teacher from Massanutten Military Academy where she taught chemistry, kindness, respect and love.
Maria was the caretaker and best friend of everyone she met. She taught you how to give and love unconditionally. She was humble and out going and never said no to a party!
