Virginian-Pilot  September 21, 2006
Joseph C. Cecil, went to live with the Lord on September 20, 2006. He was preceded 
in death by his parents, John Matthew and Mary Florence Cecil; and his sister, 
Mildred Pendleton.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 61 years, Lyda; daughter, Mary Charlene 
Trimyer, and husband, Hervey; son, Joseph M. Cecil, and wife, Janet; and 
granddaughters, Julie Williams and Ashley Williams; two sisters, Wilma Emerson, 
and husband, Gary, and Myrna Silcox; a nephew, Bob Hayden, and his wife, Betty; 
and many other beloved nieces and nephews.

In 1959, Joe retired from the US Navy as a Chief Radarman. He was a veteran of 
World War II, in which he served in several campaigns in the Pacific, and was also 
a veteran of the Korean War. After the Navy, Joe went to work for Sears & Roebuck 
and retired in 1979 as Manager in their hardware department.

Joe was a devoted Catholic and was a member of Christ the King for over 20 years 
before becoming a member of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. He was very active 
in parish life as a Eucharistic minister, usher, parish council member, Nocturnal 
Adoration Society and took part in the Holy Family retreat. He loved working on 
home projects and was always available to offer advice or a helping hand to anyone 
who needed it. The family is very grateful to Dr. Bill Hovland and the staff at 
DePaul Hospital.

The family will receive friends at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, located at 
6400 Newport Avenue, on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. A funeral mass 
celebrated by Father Joe Metzger will follow. Burial will be at St. Mary’s 
Cemetery. The family requests that donations be made to a favorite charity. 
Condolences may be offered to the family at www.hollomon-brown.com.
