MARY HENDRICKS ATKINS 

  Mary Hendricks Atkins, teacher, church worker, and a longtime resident 
of Windsor, died May 7, 2000. 

  Mrs. Atkins was born Aug. 15, 1909, to Charles and Hallie Hendricks of 
Alton, Va.  After graduating from Turbeville High School, she attended 
Longwood College.  At Longwood she was active in the YWCA, the Athletic 
Association, and the Cunningham Literary Society.  She graduated in 1930 
with a B.S. degree. 

  Mrs. Atkins then began her longtime career in teaching.  After teaching 
in Amherst County, she began teaching in Windsor in 1931.  Marriage and 
family-life brought a brief interlude but in 1944, Mrs. Atkins resumed 
teaching the fifth grade at Windsor.  In addition to teaching, she was 
very active in the Windsor Baptist Church where she served as a Sunday 
School teacher until ill health made that impossible.  Mrs. Atkins retired 
from public school teaching in 1974 after 38 years of dedicated service. 

  She was the widow of Eugene W. Atkins and is survived by her daughter, 
Mary Jean Nouri; and her grandson, Babak A. Nouri, both of Bowie, Md. 

  A funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Sidney F. Harrell Funeral 
Home by the Rev. T.A. Powell.  Friends may join the family from 7 to 8 p.m.
