DOLORES SYLVIA PETERS,
95, formerly of Floyd, passed away Friday, March 23, 2007 in
Martinsville, her home for the past four years. She was born on November
7, 1911 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, the oldest daughter of Julius
Vargus and Maria Moniz Sylvia. She graduated from Framingham College,
Massachusetts with a B.S. Degree in Education. Early in her career, she
trained in nursing at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and did
nursing in Massachusetts and Lewis-Gale Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia. When
the family moved to Roanoke in 1943, she began teaching at Back Creek
Elementary School and retired thirty years later from the chemistry
department of Cave Spring High School. While teaching, she served as
faculty representative for several years to the Virginia Education
Association and on the School Superintendent's Advisory Council under Dr.
Herman Horne. She was named to Who's Who of American Women by Roanoke
City teachers in 1972. Throughout her life, she exhibited an artistic
talent for painting, needlework and weaving as well as an avid interest
in antiques. On retirement, she taught handicraft classes at the Roanoke
County Library. Among her projects was the designing of the Centennial
Quilt for the library and supervising the class members in its making.
After moving to Floyd County, she worked with the Floyd County Women's
club to establish a county public library, serving as its first volunteer
librarian in a house behind the fire station and later when it was moved
to the courthouse. She was a member of the Montgomery-Floyd Library Board
of Trustees for several years. Dolores was a charter member of the Lambda
Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa, the honorary teachers' sorority, serving in
offices at both the local and state level and was a life member at the
national level. She was preceded in death by her husband, Belford E.
Peters; daughter, Virginia Lee Peters; brother, Julius L. Sylvia; sister,
Inez Burghart. Surviving are her son and daughter-in-law, Randolph B. and
Mabel C. Peters, Martinsville, Va.,; grandchildren, Conrad Lewis Peters,
Richmond, Va., Diane (Mrs. Matthew) Busch, Durham, N.C.;
great-grandchildren, Celeste and Anton Busch. Other surviving relatives
are Mary Ann (Mrs. Leeson) Peters, Alvis and Mary Lou Kelley, all of
Floyd, Virginia (Mrs. Tracy) Peters, Roanoke, as well as a number of
nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be held at 11:30 on Monday, March 26, 2007 at
the Peters Family Cemetery, on Silver Leaf Road in Floyd. The family will
receive friends on Monday at Gardner Funeral Home from 10 a.m. until 11
a.m. In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials be made to the
Floyd County Rescue Squad, P. O. Box 257, Floyd, Va. 24091. Arrangements
by Gardner Funeral Home, Floyd.
