Celia Alice Throckmorton

Loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Celia Alice DeHart Throckmorton passed away on January 28, 2024, at the age of 90.

Alice was born in Meherrin, VA, to the late Creed DeHart and Helen Lindsey DeHart. She retired from the U.S. Postal Service, serving as clerk at Farmville and postmistress at Hampden-Sydney. Alice loved her flowers and took great pride in earning “Yard of the Month” on multiple occasions. She was a 68 year member of the Virginia Order of the Eastern Star. While she enjoyed all these activities, nothing made her more happy than picking up her guitar and singing.

She is survived by a sister Lavonne Chernault, son Denny Throckmorton (Becky), daughter Carolyn Dove (Delbert), three grandsons Kristofer Goin (Kimberly), Aaron Throckmorton (Crystal), Dustin Throckmorton (Elizabeth), ten great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
