Richard was born in 1946 in Rutherfordton, N.C., to Frederick Randolph (Dubb) and Eugenia (Meeler) Anderson. His accomplishments included achieving the highest rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina after serving in the U.S. Navy. He worked for Duke Power and then for Appalachian Power Company.
After marrying, he and Jeannine Anderson raised seven children in Roanoke, where Richard was active coaching the sports teams of many of his children, singing in the Appalachian Power Company chorus and instilling a deep and abiding love for good music and corny jokes in his kids. Richard could find something to talk about with anyone, and this trait was most evident at Brookdale West End, where he resided for the last eight years of his life. With his characteristic wit that did not dull with age or time, he was quick to deploy a pun if he could find one. He loved sports of all kinds but especially UNC basketball. It was not confirmed by the nurses at the hospital, but he might have bled Carolina blue.
Above all else, Richard was immensely proud of his children and grandchildren. Richard was preceded in death by his father, Frederick (Dubb); his mother, Eugenia (Meeler); and his older brother, Fred. He is survived by his children, Richard Anderson of Reston, Karen Singleton of Washington, D.C., Rachel Neu (Shawn) of Salem, Matthew Anderson, Natalie Weichel of Austin, Texas, Elaine Clancey (Matthew) of Harrisonburg, Va. and Beverly Anderson of Austin, Texas; and 10 grandchildren, Meghan, Hannah, Ian, Amara, Bronwyn, Grant, Nora, Nayla, Yasma and Alexander. He is missed dearly by his companion of eight years, Peggy Ford.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will not be an immediate gathering. Richard will be interred in Arlington National Cemetery and a memorial in his hometown, Rutherfordton, N.C., will be held in the future. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (www.nmcrs.org) or First United Methodist Church (www.fumcrutherfordton.org). Richard's family would like to offer a special thanks to the frontline healthcare workers at Henrico Doctors' Hospital in Richmond, where Richard spent the last days of his life. The efforts and sacrifices of the doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and other staff during the COVID-19 pandemic are appreciated beyond measure.
HOSKINS, beloved and devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away on Sunday, August 30, 2020, at the age of 95. Bess spent a happy childhood with her five siblings sharing many adventures and exploring the family farm in Fork Union, Virginia. She graduated from Fluvanna County High School, where she played basketball on their championship team and attended Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Post college, she worked at Fork Union Military Academy, where she met her beloved husband of 59 years, Stuart W. Hoskins, who she affectionately called Coach.
Bess and Coach shared a wonderful and full life. They had three children, eight grandchildren, seven greatgrandchildren and lived in many different locales including Germany for five-plus years. Regardless of where she was living, Bess fostered lifelong friendships and enriched the lives of everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. She had an uncanny ability to understand and relate to others. She was dependable, thoughtful and truly cared about people.
Bess always gave back to the community; leading women's groups, teaching Sunday school and Bible study groups. Ultimately, she and Coach retired in Williamsburg, Virginia as one of Kingsmill's first residents. She established the Chapel at Kingsmill and their Easter morning and Christmas Eve services, which have become a longstanding tradition and continue to bring joy to so many in the community. In more recent years, Bess was an active and contributing member of the Williamsburg and Walnut Hills Baptist Churches. Bess' greatest joy in life was her family.
She was happiest when they were gathered around her. Memories abound; Christmas mornings, games at the kitchen table, trips to Busch Gardens, cups of tea and long conversations, Thanksgiving dinners, owl watching, pound cake and lots of laughter. Bess will be remembered for her warmth, wisdom, loving embrace, the sparkle in her eye and a smile that lit up a room. She will forevermore be loved and cherished by her children, Bonnie Hoskins, Carlton (Bucky) and Victoria Hoskins and Donna (Frosty) and Donald Friedman; by her grandchildren, Lauren and Doug Friedman, Lindsey (Jeff) Goldfaden, Stuart (Jessica) Hoskins, Grant (Katherine) Hoskins, Tucker (Vanessa) Hoskins, Katherine and Bess Hoskins; and her greatgrandchildren, Ella Jane, Henry, Theo and Caleb Hoskins and Alexander, Greta and James Whitlow Goldfaden.
