Virginian-Pilot, The (Norfolk, VA) - Friday, July 12, 2002 
On July 2, 2002, Carrie Elizabeth Washington, 82, of the 2400 block of Virginia
Beach Blvd., quietly departed us. ``Carrie'' or ``Liz'' as she was called, was
born the second of 10 children of Isaiah and Carrie Taylor on Aug. 10, 1919.
Being the second oldest daughter she took on the chores to help raise her
brothers and sisters.

During World War II she came to Norfolk and worked at the Naval Air Base. She
later went back to Norfolk and attended seamstress school. She then returned to
Norfolk and later married Moses Washington. She worked at a boutique in downtown
Norfolk. Not having any children of her own, she took care of her sister's
oldest son, Moses Green, and during the summer months she helped her youngest
sister Ruth.

In 1968 she accepted the responsibility of caring for her aging mother and her
sister Rose's three children, Michael, 16, Rosemary, 10, and Susan, 7. Not
wanting to accept public assistance, she took on a second job cleaning houses
and helping out her cousin, Alice Holloway in her catering business to make ends
meet. After her nephew and nieces graduated from high school and left home, she
moved to Cogic Senior Citizen's High Rise and joined Covenant Presbyterian
Church where she had been a faithful member. Between her apartment and church
she lead a very active life until her death. She was very loved by her family
and friends.

She leaves behind four sisters, Mary Taylor of Richmond, Evelyn Hart of Tacoma,
Wash., Ethel Green of Richmond and Ruth Greene of Shaker Heights, Ohio; two
brothers, Randolph Taylor and James Taylor, both of Richmond; numerous cousins,
nephews and nieces including her special nephew, Michael Taylor of Dallas,
Texas; nieces, Rosemary Waters-Lindo of Upper Marlboro, Md. and Susan Lee of
Suffolk.

We will miss her dearly.

A funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 913
Covenant St., Norfolk. Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery , Norfolk.
