was especially gifted. Theater productions drew Andy to the stage as an actor,
singer, set builder, backstage manager and musician in the pit orchestra. He
will be remembered for his natural portrayal of the boy next door in a leading
role for The 1980’s Musical. In four years of participation on the Academic
Team, he helped lead Brunswick to consistent remarkable finishes with his genius
for history, geography and general trivia. He planned to study history, music
and secondary education at McDaniel College or Shepherd University, hoping to
imitate two admired teachers, Mr. Nikirk and Mr. Glidewell.
Active in St Paul Lutheran Church, Andy participated in Camp Hope house
restorations, Hurricane Katrina cleanup, the puppet ministry, the SPY youth
group, and St Paul Brass ensemble. He set an example of faith, willing service

Eagle. For his Eagle Scout Project, Andy led 28 people in refurbishing the

Surviving in addition to his parents are his brother, Daniel Garman,
maternal grandparents, William and Martha Dennis of Keedysville, paternal
grandmother Nora Garman of Crownsville and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He is
preceded in death by his paternal grandfather Louis Garman. Andy lives on in and
for others through his choice to be an organ donor. He will be missed by his
girlfriend Ellen Roddy and his many little friends, for whom he was the ‘big
kid’ they eagerly ran to for playtime. Andy also will be missed for the
contagious enthusiasm he kindled within his circles of activity and his gift for
mentoring that blossomed with his proficiency as a musician, actor, scholar and
Scout.

Foundation of Frederick County, 312 East Church Street, Frederick, MD 21701-5611

Miss C.
Elizabeth 'Betty' McCaffrey Teacher
As originally published on Friday, January 21, 2011.
C. Elizabeth "Betty" McCaffrey, 91, of Frederick,
died Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2011, at Frederick Memorial Hospital, after suffering a
stroke at her home.
Born in Frederick, on Nov. 18, 1919, she was the
eldest of three daughters of the late Bernard Elmer and Mary Elizabeth Engle
McCaffrey.
Betty attended St. John's Literary Institute on Second Street and earned her
Bachelor's degree at St. Joseph College in Emmitsburg. She continued her
studies at Western Maryland College in Westminster, earning a master's degree.
Betty was a dedicated schoolteacher for several
decades in Frederick County Public Schools at Brunswick, Middletown and Gov.
Thomas Johnson high schools. After her retirement from the county, she then
taught at Prospect Hall and was a literacy volunteer at the library. As a
lifelong member of St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, she proudly
served her church in many capacities over the years. Among them, she was an
active member of the church choir, the Catholic Daughters of America, and the

activities, and travel. Playing her Silver '23 Conn saxophone, she was the
driving force behind, and an active member in, a local jazz band. She enjoyed
playing tennis and then golf for many years and was also an avid card player.
She was proud to display her map of states that adorned her refrigerator door;
there were only a few states to which she had not traveled. Betty was a proud
American making sure to vote in every election. Visits from her former students
and friends in the later years buoyed her spirits; she would recount these
visits to each of her nieces and nephews during their frequent phone
conversations.
Family meant the world to Betty. Every holiday
throughout the year was shared with her sisters and their families. She treated
her 10 nieces and nephews as her own children, attending every noteworthy
event, graduation and crab feast until she was unable to do so. Her legacy of
service, sacrifice and faith will be long-remembered.

Mrs. Melissa "Missy"
Danner Ross Class 1976
As originally published on Wednesday, September 15, 2010.
Melissa,
52, completed her earthly life Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010, gently going to sleep
in her husband's arms. She was born May 13, 1958, in Charleston, W.Va., the
daughter of the late Mary Irene Sowers Danner and the late Donald Lewis Danner.
She was the wife of Norman, her loving partner, mate and best friend for more
than 27 years. Together they lived their lives to the fullest each day while
sharing many wonderful journeys and experiences.
She grew up on Rosemont Drive, outside of Brunswick.
Melissa graduated from Brunswick High School and from Eastern Mennonite
University with a B.S. in nursing. She was a gifted and talented nurse,
practicing for more than 28 years. She began her career at Frederick Memorial
Hospital in 1981, where she met her beloved Norman. Following their marriage in
1984, they moved to Delray Beach, Fla., where she worked at Boca Raton
Community Hospital for 10 years. They then moved to Charleston, S.C., where she
continued hospital nursing for 13 years. Most of her nursing career was in
intermediate cardiac care. Her personal reward, skill in and love of nursing
was focused on caring for her patients and fellow staff with her gentle touch
and calming being.
Returning to Frederick, she went back to FMH, working
in the peri-operative area. The support she received from her nursing teams was
phenomenal. Working allowed Missy to be fulfilled in the ability to continue
her profession of helping and caring for others, while on her own cancer
journey.
Missy had a basic creed, "Do no harm, do good,
and stay in love with God." She chose to live with cancer and not let it
define her life. Missy loved to meet and accept people, decorate and manage the
homes she and Norm shared, love her family and friends, and always, always to
care for her Norm.
Missy was raised in the Christian faith starting in
the Church of the Brethren, graduating from a Mennonite University, worshiping
in the Episcopal Church with her husband, and finally finding a home at Brook
Hill United Methodist Church. Missy had a deep and abiding love for the Lord
Jesus, sharing that relationship with all around her. Her church, community,
work and families meant so much to her.
In addition to her loving husband, Norman, she is
survived by three sisters and their spouses, Vanessa and Byron Guyton of
Burkittsville, Marty and Richard Gue of Frederick, and Beth and Phil Guyton of
Myersville. Other family includes brother-in-law, Michael, and Ann Ross of Bar
Harbor, Maine, and sister-in law, Claudia, and Dave Overway, of Panama City,
Fla. Missy also has numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. She
found great joy in sending and receiving cards, notes and e-mails, with a
Christmas, friend and birthday list of more than 400 people.
Her family wishes to extend a special thanks to Kanan
Hudhud and all the staff at the Cancer Care Center for their excellent care and
support. Additionally, many members of the FMH staff, members of the Brook Hill
Church, her former school- mates, fellow nurses, neighbors and care givers
greatly touched her heart.
There will be a celebration of her life and death at 2
p.m. Sunday, Sept. 26, at Brook Hill United Methodist Church, 8946 Indian Springs
Road, Frederick. The Rev. Linda Warhime will officiate. Please dress in the

Mr.
Thomas F. Waters Class of 1965
As originally published
on Tuesday, May 11, 2010.
Mr. Thomas F. Waters, 62, passed into
eternal life at home on Sunday, May 9, 2010, after a long and courageous battle
with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. He was the husband of 30 years to Karen
Musial Waters. Born on Sept. 26, 1947, he was the son of the late Floyd K.
Waters and Dora Viola Waters.
He was a graduate of Brunswick High School in 1965 and
a graduate of Hagerstown Business College. Because of an immense love of dance,
Tom started his own dance studio, Tom's Dance Studio in 1959 in Brunswick. He
would also teach in Loudoun County, Va., and would later move his studio to
Market Street in Frederick. The studio, which later became Artistic Dance
Centre, would be an icon for 50 years in Frederick County.
After Tom's illness prevented him from personally
teaching in 2006, Lauren Waters, his daughter, would become director of
Artistic Dance Centre and keep the legacy alive with the help of her brother,
Nathan Waters. Countless students have passed through the doors of the studio
and many thought of Tom as their "second dad," their
"mentor," their "friend." Although tap was Tom's first
love, his well-rounded program of all disciplines of dance would provide many
students the chance to go on professionally in careers in New York City, cruise
lines and theater. The studio's dance company, The Dance Contraption, won top
awards at the Dance Masters Convention in 1983 in Los Angeles, including
choreography and costuming awards for Tom. Artistic Dance Centre will close at
the end of the dance season in July with many memories and well wishes for
those who touched the lives of the Waters family.

community will be shown. Proceeds from the gala evening will fund a scholarship
