MARJORIE ELIZABETH ADDISON BAIRD 

  Marjorie Addison Baird, 87, passed away peacefully after a period of 
declining health in the home of her daughter in Midlothian, Va., on 
February 5, 2018.  She was a lifelong resident of Surry County until 
moving to Midlothian in the fall of 2015.  The youngest child of the 
late Charles Edward Addison and Adeline Clawson Addison, she was born 
on January 20, 1931.  It was while working at the Surry Drug Company 
that she met her future husband, James Baird, whom she married in 1952. 
She continued to serve the public and help others for many years through 
her various roles at The Surrey House Restaurant, The Surrey House of 
Fashions and The Trellis in Williamsburg.  Her church and community were 
important to her as evidenced by her active membership at Surry United 
Methodist Church, Surry Woman’s Club, Surry Business and Professional 
Women’s Club, Spring Grove Community Club and the Rusty Needle.  She will 
long be remembered for her love of cooking and her beautiful needlework, 
both of which she generously shared with others.  Her family was important 
to her, and she cherished the many vacations, celebrations, and activities 
she enjoyed through the years with them.

  Mrs. Baird is survived by one daughter, June B. Edwards, and her husband, 
J.W. (Jerry) Edwards; two grandsons, James Wesley Edwards, III, and his 
wife, Sara, and Jeffrey William Edwards, in addition to numerous nieces 
and nephews.  She was predeceased by her husband of 48 years, James Wesley 
Baird; brothers, Herman, Merle and William Addison; and sister, Evelyn Coley.

  The family will receive friends at R.W. Baker & Co Funeral Home, Wakefield 
Chapel on Friday, February 9, 2018 from 4:00 to 7:30 PM.  Funeral services 
will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, February 10, 2018 at Surry United 
Methodist Church, with the Rev. Ray Rowland, Rev. Sam Askew, and Jerry
