Adelaide Willoughby Forman
Addie Forman, born March 24, 1978, in Washington, D.C., died unexpectedly on December 12, 2016, while staying at a beachside inn in Sardinal, Carrillo, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. Cause of death was hemorrhage of the upper digestive tract and a perforated peptic ulcer. Addie grew up in Bethesda, Maryland, interspersed with visits to family and friends in Virginia, Colorado, Kansas, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York City; she lived for a time in Washington, D.C., California, the Virgin Islands, and Costa Rica. She and sister Alice flew alone to visit their Grandmother Forman in Colorado Springs, and visited Disney World while their father gave a talk at an economics convention in Orlando. She and Alice most often spent summers, Thanksgiving, and Christmas with their grandparents, Byron and Mary Stuart Banks (later M.S. Banks Weber), at their farm, West View, at Broad Run, Virginia, near Warrenton. There they had their own room in a cottage, surrounded by fields and gardens, trees, cattle, three dogs, and a cat. The farm had first belonged since 1832 to their great-great-great grandfather Henry Smith, who had been the chief surveyor for Fauquier County; at one time West View had been among a long stretch of farms belonging to cousins, all the way into Warrenton. Often Addie worked and always she learned. She held her first job while in high school, managing a two-person construction office in Washington, D.C., and eventually held jobs in real estate, nonprofit foundations, a law school, craft and cooking supply shops, waitressing, insurance, and interior design, as well as taking courses at U.D.C. She also volunteered, including working at the Montgomery County polls as an election judge. She kept diaries, accumulated books, and was a valued friend; after her death her parents received many calls and letters from people who had known Addie since childhood, to say how important Addie had been in their lives. Inquisitive and insightful, with much advice and comfort to give in time of need, Addie will be terribly missed, but leaves a legacy of work she had begun which others will take up and carry on. Addie’s sister Alice Gillette Forman died January 13, 2006. Addie is survived by her parents, Frank and Sarah Forman, of Chevy Chase, Md., as well as aunts and uncles and numerous cousins. A memorial service for Addie Forman will be held at Grace Episcopal Church , 6507 Main Street, The Plains, Va., at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 26, 2017. Addie will share a grave site with her sister Alice, next to their grandparents, in Little Georgetown Cemetery, next to the Church of Our Savior, near Broad Run. Donations may be made in Addie’s memory for maintenance of the Little Georgetown Cemetery, Little Georgetown Foundation, care of Grace Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 32, The Plains, Va. 20198.
