[Charline Oliff]

Apologies for those that get this multiple times.  Feel free to cross post this to other lists if you wish.

It is with heavy heart that I report the passing of our mother, Charline Oliff - known in the SCA as Lady Clarice.

here is a copy of the obit:
    Charline Maxon Oliff went to be with her lord on Jan. 24, 2009 at her home in Palmyra, Va.  She was the daughter of the late Ellis & May Maxon. Charline was preceded in death by a son Allen Oliff.
    Loved ones that want to celebrate her life are her husband of 30 years Marvin Allen Oliff, Jr, four sons Charles and wife Rachel of Orange, James, John, and William of Palmyra.   A sister Sylvia "Sami" Paradis and her husband Lane of Barboursville, a brother Edson "Max" Maxon and his wife Pam of Richmond and a number of nieces and nephews.

    Charline "Charlie" was a teacher for 27 years with Fluvanna Co teaching Jr High, High School, 2nd grade and finally Pre-school Special Ed. which was her passion. As a member of Bethel Baptist Church, she was a Sunday school teacher, sang with the choir, and was a Vacation Bible School Director.

    In her life, she was a Cub Scout Den Leader, Cub Scout Master, and served on the Round Table.  In the Society for Creative Anachronism, she was known as "Lady Clarice."  She served as the Treasurer for the Canton of Caer Gelynniog - a local group - and received many awards for her service.

    "Mommy Dearest" was a loving and caring mother and wife. The smile she wore may be gone from sight but will never be forgotten. 

    Visitation will be at Sheridan Funeral Home in Kents Store, VA on Tuesday, Jan. 27th from 7:00-8:30 PM.

    A celebration of her life will be held at Bethel Baptist Church in Palmyra,VA on Jan 28th at 11AM.  A reception will follow in the church fellowship hall.

    In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The American Cancer Society or the Bethel Baptist Church Memorial Fund.

    Thanks to all who have shared their love and prayers during "Charlie's" illness.
