January 2, 1935 - May 5, 2018
Hughie William Armstrong, Jr., 83, of Catlett, VA passed away on May 5, 2018 at his home. He was born January 2, 1935 in Warrenton, VA. His parents, Hughie and Alice (Massoletti) Armstrong preceded him in death.
William lived his entire life in Catlett and was very active in his community. He was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church. He served the church in many ways, including chairman of the administrative council and chairman of the board of trustees.
In 1962, William found a special calling in community service; the Catlett Volunteer Fire Company. He was a charter and lifetime member of the company. He served the company in many operational positions; including company chief. When he was no longer able to serve in an operational position, he served over 20 years as treasurer of the company.
The former Cedar Run Volunteer Rescue Squad was his second calling in public service. In 1973, he was instrumental in the organization of that company. As both a charter and lifetime member of the company, he served in many operational capacities including chief. Community service was a large part of his life.
After 32 years of service, William retired from Vint Hill Farms Station. He was supervisor of the motor pool. During his tenure, he was awarded the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service in recognition of his willingness to train military and civilian personnel in first aid and CPR.
William served 14 years in the Virginia National Guard, leaving service due to medical reasons. Later, he served as a representative to the Selective Service Board.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Sara Lee; two daughters, Angela Armstrong and Amanda Woodward and her husband, Jeff Woodward. While he loved his wife and daughters, the greatest loves of his life were his two grandsons, Zachary and Zane Woodward.
The family will receive friends on Friday, May 11 from 1-2 PM at Trinity United Methodist Church, Catlett followed by a funeral service at 2 PM Interment Catlett Cemetery.
In the spirit of William’s love for his community, the family requests in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to the charity of your choice.
