Former Westminster employee, Ed Stitely passed away July 3, 2015


Former Westminster employee, Ed Stitely passed away July 3, 2015

I really enjoyed working with Ed at the city. He was conscientious and friendly… He was old-school, hard-working, always willing to help and cared about his job and the other employees and the citizens for whom he worked.

Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but are always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear. Remember he is always with you.

May memories of happy times sustain his family. May God's love embrace his family and bring them peace. Healing graces for his family, friends and colleagues. We keep Ed and his family in our hearts and prayers.  

So sorry for your loss.

Kevin E. Dayhoff, Mayor of Westminster, 2001-2005

The sister, Sidney Ann Sweet, of our Westminster High School class of 1971 classmate Leonard Roberts, has died.

Sidney Ann Sweet, 58, of Westminster, died June 22, 2015 at Golden Living Center.

Labels: Carroll Co Schools Wster HS Class 71, People obituaries, People WHS Class of 1971

She was the brother of our dear friend and Westminster High School class of 1971 classmate, Leonard Roberts.

On behalf of the Westminster High School Class of 1971, our thoughts and prayers are with the Leonard Roberts family at this difficult time.

Scarlet and Leonard May God keep you close at this time. Our class understands 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. Though we cannot be with you physically, we will continually lift you in prayer as often as we think about you and your beloved sister.

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

Born July 16, 1956 in Baltimore, Sidney Ann Sweet was the daughter of the late Hattie Rutherford Roberts and Leonard R. Roberts, Sr.

Sidney was a 1978 graduate of Western Maryland College where she received her bachelor’s degree in psychology. She worked as an Eligibility Counselor for the Welfare Department in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

She was a member of the Union Street United Methodist Church.

Visitation at Pritts Funeral Home & Chapel P.A., 412 Washington Road, Westminster, MD 21157, United States; is from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday June 28, 2015.
