Dr. Newkirk was a fantastic mentor to many students and staff at Virginia State University, and she was a genuine friend. We are sorry to learn of her passing. Our prayers remain with the family.

Truly - one of my remarkable, personal highlights in my law enforcement career, was the honor and delight to become a sincere friend to Mrs. Newkirk. Our 50 year connection will forever be cherished. A lady of impeccable conviction and stellar character impacted most everyone who had the blessings to have shared moments in her life. My heartfelt condolences to Mary's family and friends. "Glen Burley" was her priceless greeting. Respectfully,
From the Staff of Mimms Funeral Home
