Mrs. Nancy Lee Anania December 21, 1933 - May 19, 2018

Obituary for Mrs. Nancy Lee Anania December 21, 1933 - May 19, 2018

Nancy Lee Anania, age 84, died on May 19, 2018 at her home in Ellicott City, MD. She was the daughter of the late Lawrence Eugene Mulcahy and Eva May Leister Mulcahy. Nancy was the wife of the late Peter V. Anania, Sr., her husband of 63 years.

Nancy was a loving mother who raised four sons. A gifted artist, she took joy in painting, crafts such as making dollhouses, wreaths, and holiday decorations, sewing as well as designing landscapes and interiors. She enjoyed listening to all kinds of music, from opera to rock. She had a beautiful voice and got a kick out of singing with her sons in their garage band. Her favorite artist was opera singer Luciano Pavarotti.

Nancy was a lover of life and learning, and an avid history buff. She enjoyed colonial Jamestown in particular. She was fond of art museums and seeing her old neighborhood in Hamden where she grew up.

Nancy’s biggest passion was her family. She was a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Anyone who walked through her door would be welcome and would never leave hungry. Her kitchen stayed open 24 hours, her holiday celebrations were legendary, and she went out of her way to make every gathering unforgettable.

Nancy is survived by her sons, Peter V. Anania, Jr., David S. Anania, and his wife Barbara Anania, Andrew J. Anania, grandchildren Elizabeth Anania, Ashen Anania, Robin Harlan, and Tara Anania, and great grandchildren Dayja, Lily, Ella, Chloe, and Destiny. She was predeceased by her husband Peter V. Anania, Sr. and her son, Thomas S. Anania.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, May 29, 2018 from 5 to 7pm. at Haight Funeral Home and Chapel, 6416 Sykesville Rd., Sykesville .A Funeral service will follow at 7:00pm.

Sadly, our Westminster High School class of 1971 classmate, Linda Louise Shafer, passed away on June 27, 2017.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family, colleagues, loved-ones and friends. She will be missed.

From 1989 to 2011, Linda was engaged in research project leadership, review, and analysis in the fields of education, health, and human services, most recently with the American Institutes for Research.

Linda had a strong calling to serve others, but her greatest joy and commitment was to her son, Arkee. She was also a very generous, loyal, and supportive friend. Linda's favorite pastimes included cake decorating, knitting, reading, and singing in her church choir.

Henry Neale Bair, 78, of Westminster, died on Wednesday, March 29, 2017

http://www.prittsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Henry-Neale-Bair?obId=1639870#/obituaryInfo

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bair family at this difficult time.

Henry was really neat people. Many years ago, I did some landscaping for him. He was a wonderful customer and I really enjoyed his company and friendship. He will be missed. I’m very sad to hear of his death.

I understand the emptiness that overshadows siblings when death comes and grief lingers. Yet, death cannot separate you from a lifetime of love and shared memories. These gifts remain as God's loving touches of His grace.

May God keep open the "eyes of your heart" to remind you of his constant presence to comfort and guide you, to love and keep you, and grant you overcoming peace. In Loving memory

For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Romans 13 v4

Obituary for Henry Neale Bair

Henry Neale Bair, 78, of Westminster, died on Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at University of Maryland Medical Center following complications from a fall.

Born in Baltimore on November 8, 1938 and raised in Westminster, he was the son of the late Scott Slaybaugh Bair, Sr. and Anita Bankard Bair.

He was a 1957 graduate of Westminster High School and briefly attended the University of Baltimore prior to entering the U.S. Navy. Following discharge from the Navy, he worked for Black & Decker Mfg. Company in Hampstead and Finch Services in Westminster. In 1966 he changed his career path and joined his family’s real estate investment firm, Development Company of America, founded by his father in 1954, and he worked there for eight years as a leasing representative and project manager. Upon leaving DCA he then worked for his brother Emerson in his real estate investment business for a number of years before retiring.

He enjoyed fine American-made automobiles such as Buick and Cadillac sedans, GMC pickup trucks, good country cooking, Maryland seafood, and spending time with family and friends.

He loved Carroll County and never desired to live anywhere else. Beginning in his youth and reinforced by his years of employment with Finch Services, he had a great affinity and respect for the Carroll County farming community and the farmers who worked the land. In his high school years after school and during summer vacation he worked on several farms in the Westminster area and for Henry Hook, an Oliver Farm Equipment dealer.

He loved animals, particularly cats, and over the years cared for numerous house cats and many stray cats who found their way to his door. He always enjoyed the change of seasons and observing the wildlife which populated the woods surrounding his house, especially the Canadian geese which year after year came to his pond to make their nests and raise their young. Many generations of the original pair of geese would be welcomed back and fed by Henry.

He was a member of Grace Lutheran Church. He was a former member of Reese & Community Volunteer Fire Department.

Over the years he was a generous supporter of many national charities and local institutions such as Carroll Hospital Center. Henry was also a caring friend to many people and was always willing to help someone in need.

He is survived by brothers Emerson F. Bair and Glenn S. Bair, and sister Elizabeth Bair Warehime, all of Westminster, sister-in-law Ruth Hering Bair, nieces Priscilla B. Pickett and Jennifer A. Warehime, both of Westminster, and Heather B. Anuszewski of Baltimore, nephews Scott Bair, III of Atlanta, GA, Greg Bair of Little Valley, NY, Glenn Bair, Jr. of Old Lyme, CT, Thomas Bair of Hagerstown, Matthew Bair, Alex Bair, Jeremy Bair and Michael Bair, all of Westminster, numerous great nieces, great nephews and cousins, and special friends Roxanne McCarley, Terry Bare and Walt Washel. He was predeceased by brothers Scott S. Bair, Jr. and Harvey B. Bair, infant nephew John Patrick Scott Warehime, sisters-in-law Joan Matthews Bair and Jane Henry Bair, as well as close friends Edith Green, Mary Barnes and Jay Clutz.

A funeral service will be held at Pritts Funeral Home & Chapel, 412 Washington Rd., Westminster on Saturday, April 8th at 11:00 AM, with Rev. David R. Bare officiating. Interment will be in Westminster Cemetery at the convenience of the family. The family will receive friends on Friday, April 7th from 2:00-4:00 and 7:00-9:00 PM at Pritts Funeral Home & Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to Westminster Fire Engine & Hose Company #1, 28 John Street, Westminster, MD 21157, Carroll Hospital Center, 200 Memorial Avenue, Westminster, MD 21157, or Grace Lutheran Church, 21 Carroll Street, Westminster, MD 21157.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8New International Version (NIV)

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Distinguished local Carroll Co Attorney “Woody” Swam, 80, of Hampstead

Distinguished local Carroll Co Attorney “Woody” Swam, 80, of Hampstead https://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2017/01/distinguished-local-carroll-co-attorney.html Labels: People obituaries

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Phyllis J. Zumbrun, Mark, and Robyn Schaefer; Jason, Laura, and Mattie Tyler of Westminster, and the friends, family, and colleagues of Woody Swam. Woody will be greatly missed. We have all benefited greatly from his service to our country and our community. You have our deepest sympathy. Caroline Babylon and Kevin Dayhoff:

Elwood “Woody” Edward Swam, 80, of Hampstead, died peacefully on Saturday, January 7, 2017. Born September 21, 1936, he was the son of the late John Henry and Iova Walker Swam. Woody is survived by his wife and best friend of forty-five (45) years, Phyllis J. Zumbrun.

Woody lived his entire life in Carroll County, Maryland. Born and raised in Manchester, he graduated from Manchester High School as president of the Class of 1954. After graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy for flight training. Following his honorable discharge from the Navy, he pursued several business positions while attending law school at the University of Baltimore. Upon graduation, he opened his law practice in Hampstead, which he pursued for forty-six (46) successful years.

Woody dedicated his life to his law practice and the clients he served. In his spare time, he enjoyed travel, golf, fine dining, and entertaining. “Pushing the envelope,” he always welcomed challenges and would rise to the occasion with his cleverness and wit. Being quite a rascal himself in his youth, he enjoyed interacting with young people and served as a mentor to many. Investments have always been an intense interest of his, but his investment in others brought him the greatest dividends.

Woody was a member of the Maryland State Bar Association, the Carroll County Bar Association, and the Jaycees. He served on the Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission and the Trial Courts Judicial Nominating Commission – Eighth District. As a behind the scenes advocate, he endorsed and supported the missions and roles of NESAP, Carroll Hospice. Lineboro-Manchester Lions Club, local fire departments, and educational opportunities.

Surviving in addition to his wife are brother, John Swam of Manchester; brother Robert (Bob) Swam and wife, Carol, of Worton; sister, Patricia (Pat) Martak of Abington; numerous nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and great-great nieces and great-great nephews. He was predeceased by sister, Annabell M. Baer.

In addition, he is survived by his extended family, Mark and Robyn Schaefer of Hampstead; Jason, Laura, and Mattie Tyler of Westminster; and Emily Schaefer and Thomas Nelson, of Arlington, VA.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, January 11, 2017 at the ECKHARDT FUNERAL CHAPEL, P.A. 3296 Charmil Drive, Manchester, MD 21102 from 3-5 and 7-9p.m. and a memorial service will be held on Thursday, January 12, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Interment is private.
