Fitzhugh Mayo Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 14, 2017.
Dr. Mayo passed away on Saturday, November 11, 2017. Dr. Mayo was a resident of Hugh, Virginia at the time of passing. Hugh, as he was known, spent his early childhood on a farm in Maryland, and later attended Virginia Episcopal School. His Class of 1944 at Virginia Tech was interrupted by World War II, and from 1943 to 1946 he served in the Army First Infantry, including a post in Nuremberg during the war trials. In lieu of flowers, it was Dr. Mayo's wish that donations be made by mail to Harris-Mayo Chair at VCU/MCV Box 843042 Richmond, VA 23284-3042, or by internet at https://familymedicine.vcu .edu/about/make-a-gift/ with donation designated for Harris-Mayo Chair.
