Mary V. Compton

Mary Virginia Compton, 63, of Stephens City, VA, formerly of Columbia, MD, passed peacefully into Heaven on October 1st 2015 at the home of her sister in Martinsburg, WV after a Ten Year Battle with Cancer.

Mary was born on April 15th, 1952 at Winchester Memorial Hospital, the youngest daughter of the late Walter Glen Compton and Hilda Marcella Compton (Pence). Mary Graduated from Potomac Senior High School in 1970. Mary worked in Maryland for the Phone Company through the various incarnations of AT&T, C&P, Bell Atlantic, Lucent Technologies, and Avaya. After more than 30 years of dedicated service Mary retired to Virginia where she became a full-time caregiver for her late Mother. Mary is remembered fondly by former co-workers as one of the most hardworking yet compassionate managers they ever worked with. Her commitment to her profession and those she worked with was beyond compare.

Surviving is her only Son; James Glen Compton, Sr. (Heather) of Martinsburg, WV, and four beloved sisters; Beverly Ann McDonald (Danny) of Clearbrook, VA, Peggy Jo Corrado of St. Leonard, MD, Alice Lou Compton (Frankie Ritenour) of Middletown, VA, and Nancy Marie Lusby (John), of Martinsburg, WV. Mary had one Grandson, James Glen Compton, Jr., whom she adored. She was preceded in death by her Brother, Edwin Francis Compton. Mary’s selflessness and devotion to her family will never be forgotten. Mary was the youngest of her siblings, but provided the matriarchal foundation for which we all stood upon.

The Family will receive friends on Tuesday October 6th from 2PM-4PM and 6PM-8PM at Omps Funeral Home, South Chapel. A Funeral Service will be held at 11am on Wednesday October 7th at Omps Funeral Home, South Chapel with Reverend Paul Campbell officiating. Interment will directly follow at Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Middletown, VA. A celebration of life reception will be held immediately following the interment at Wayside Inn, in Middletown, VA.

Memorial donations may be made to the Hospice of the Panhandle, Blue Ridge Hospice, or WMC Cancer Center Fund. Please view obituaries and tribute wall at www.ompsfuneralhome.com.

I will forever cherish the time we had together. You taught me everything, and I only hope that I can pass some of your wisdom on to your Grandsons. I love you Mom and I will never forget you.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

My condolences to your family. I worked with Mary at Avaya. She was one of the most sincere, and honest people I have ever worked with. She was highly regarded for her willingness to help others and her integrity. She was really just a sweetheart! We heard a lot about her son James, and how much she loved him. Again, I am so very sorry for your loss as well as her lengthy fight with cancer.
Jim Ragusa left a message on October 7, 2015:
My deep condolences go out to the family. She cared for and loved everyone that she was associated with during her career. I can remember Mary bringing her son to work to meet the "guys", her work family. Mary was one of my very first "wheel" clerks back in the C&P Telephone companies days in the 70's. She later became our "dedicated clerk" after divestiture in the 80's. Later she would become a service manager. She never had a mean word about anyone. She will be truly missed.

My dear sister, I will miss you more every day you are gone but carry your laughter and smiley face within my heart forever and ever. I will miss all of our chats on skype every night before going to bed and you saying to me that you love me to the moon and back. Ditto baby sister! Love you forever!

Mary was a very sweet girl and I can only imagine she stayed that way until her death. She was a close friend of my brother Mike Emery, and our entire family loved her and thought fondly of her. I am sure she will be missed by anyone who had the opportunity to know her.
Emma Bumbry left a message on October 3, 2015:
I will forever remember Mary as a good and kind-hearted person that she was...I remember when she would get pay rate increases she would share with her employees by taking us out to lunch, not just a couple of us but her entire group. She would always find time to help anybody that she couid. She will be sorely missed. God bless James and her family.
