Our beloved member, Elma Louise Moffett Mankin (age 93) passed away on Friday, May 4, 2018. She was born on August 26, 1924 to William Henry and Mary Elizabeth Thompson Moffett.

Mrs. Mankin was an active member of Herndon United Methodist Church and the Herndon Woman’s Club. She was involved in many civic organizations and was honored in 2001 as Herndon Rotary Club Citizen of the Year. We fondly called Elma the “Queen of Herndon” because she captured the hearts of those around her. Elma joined the Herndon Woman’s Club in 1949 and served as President from 1954 – 1955.

“The Herndon Women’s Club was proud to donate $3,000 to Luke’s Wings to support their mission of reuniting wounded, ill and injured service members with their loved ones during recovery. Funds raised at the 59th Fall Fashion Show helped to provide five flights for service members across the country and helped a mother see their son walk for the first time, a wounded warrior to spend her first Christmas with her husband and a family to be reunited after their loved one was injured in combat.”
Wreaths Across America 2017
12/16 Chestnut Grove Cemetary
Herndon Woman's Club members were proud to Honor all Veterans at the Wreaths Across America National Day of Remembrance Ceremony on December 16 at Chestnut Grove Cemetery. There was a chill in the air, but spirits were bright as people arrived to place a wreath on a veteran's grave (790 veterans) and Thank them for their service after a brief ceremony. Don't forget to thank a veteran whenever you have the opportunity. For those who donated money for wreaths, who participated in helping throughout the year - in all kinds of weather, to prepare for the ceremony and in so many ways, a Thank You goes out to ALL.
