Carol Tredway Throckmorton passed away on Thursday, March 13, 2014 after a 2 ½ year battle with cancer that she fought bravely. She was born in Richmond on May 12, 1942 and was predeceased by her parents, George and Julia Tredway. She is survived by her husband of 51 years, Wilson (Billy) Throckmorton; daughter Laura Gauntt (Charles) of Mechanicsville; son Gary Throckmorton (Caroll) of White Stone; 4 grandchildren that she adored, Katrina and Garrett Gauntt of Mechanicsville and Wilson and Parker Throckmorton of White Stone; her sister Evelyn Tredway of Richmond; Aunt Betty Dean Dise and Uncle Gerald Wheatley of Tangier; brother- in-law Robert Throckmorton (Donna) of Mechanicsville; a niece and nephew and many cousins on Tangier Island. Carol was a 1960 graduate of Hermitage High School and later received an Associate Degree in education. She was a Teacher's Aide in the Hearing Impaired program for the Broward County (FL) School System and the City of Richmond School System. In 1988, Carol and Billy moved to Wicomico Church in the Northern Neck where she loved her home on Mill Creek looking out over the Chesapeake Bay. She was active in her church and for several years was the Co-Chair of the Red Cross Blood Drive for Lancaster County. She and Billy became active boaters and cruised extensively in the Chesapeake Bay and as far north as Maine and south to Key West and spent many years cruising in the Bahamas. They were members of the Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club and the Virginia Yacht Club. Meemaw, as she was known to her grandchildren, loved to cook and entertain her family during their visits to the Bay. Christmas was a special time as she displayed her collection of hundreds of Santas. We would like to thank Dr. Charles Jones and his staff, the nurses in 3 North at St. Mary's and Hospice of Virginia for the care and compassion that Carol received. The family will receive visitors on Monday, March 17 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Currie Funeral Home, 116 East Church Street, Kilmarnock, Va. Funeral service and burial will be held 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, March 18 at Wicomico Parish Church, 5191 Jessie Ball DuPont Highway (Rt. 200), Wicomico Church, Va. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Wicomico Parish Church Endowment Fund, P.O. Box 70, Wicomico Church, VA 22579.
