Of

Brandon “Jax “ Jackson
March 27, 1990 - December 24, 2025


Brandon “Jax” Jackson, 35, of Charlottesville, Virginia, was born on March 27, 1990, and passed away surrounded by loved ones on December 24, 2025. Known to many as “Jax,” Brandon was a devoted father, son, partner, and friend whose presence left a lasting imprint on everyone who knew him.

Brandon was preceded in death by his grandparents, Silverteen Jackson and Harry Jackson Sr., and Frances Bryant and John Bryant.

He is survived by his loving parents, Janice and Keith Bryant; his brother, KaDerrick Randolph; and his two beautiful children, Naomi (13) and Nalani (5), who were the pride and joy of his life. Brandon was also a loving and devoted partner to Iesha Mallory, standing faithfully by his side to the very end.

Brandon leaves behind two cherished godmothers, Ms. Rosemary Hughes of Waynesboro, Virginia, and Mary Jackson of Ruckersville, Virginia, along with a circle of loving, dedicated, and loyal friends who became family: Ryan Durham, Devon Barry, Antonio Blakey, James Dowell, Jamal Dowell, DeVante Dowell, Rahiem Cooper and Donte Reaves. He also leaves behind numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

A proud graduate of Charlottesville High School, Class of 2008, Brandon was a man of many talents and a strong work ethic. He began his career as a barber, where his chair became a place of laughter, conversation, and connection. In 2016, he transitioned into the electrical trade, later becoming an Electrical Foreman with Johnston and Company, where he worked until the present. Brandon took great pride in his work and leaves behind a legacy of craftsmanship, having helped wire more than 250 homes, an indoor soccer arena, restaurants, and retail stores. Brandon gave his life to Christ in 2010.

Brandon was a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Virginia Cavaliers and New York Yankees, proudly supporting his teams with unwavering loyalty. Above all else, he was a devoted and loving father and partner, a dependable son, and a loyal friend—someone others could always count on.

Brandon will be remembered for his generous heart, strong hands, infectious smile, and the deep love he poured into his family and friendships. His legacy lives on through his children, his loved ones, and the many lives he touched along the way.

The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Dr. Michael G. Douvas, MD, Oncologist at the University of Virginia Hospital. Thank you for the countless hours of care, compassion, and dedication you gave Brandon over the past two and a half years. We are forever grateful.

In Loving Memory
Of
Mareea E. Wilson
September 30, 1928 - December 3, 2025

Mareea E. Wilson, age 97, peacefully departed this life on December 3, 2025, at her home in Charlottesville, Virginia.

She was born on September 30, 1928, in Orlando, Florida. Mareea received her early education at East Orange High School in East Orange, New Jersey. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from Hampton Institute (now Hampton University) in Hampton, Virginia, and later completed a Master of Arts degree at the University of the District of Columbia in Washington, D.C.

From an early age, Mareea aspired to become a dietitian—a goal she pursued with dedication and excellence. After graduating from Hampton Institute, she began her professional career at St. Augustine’s College in Raleigh, North Carolina. She also worked at the Boys Club in Newport News, Virginia. She later served as a dietitian with the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital in Hampton, Virginia, and subsequently at the VA Hospital in Washington, D.C. Mareea concluded her distinguished career at Howard University Hospital, where she retired as Chief of Dietetics.

During her tenure with the Veterans Administration, Mareea served as an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) counselor, where she was instrumental in advocating for and implementing meaningful changes in policies and procedures. Her lifelong commitment to justice and equity began early, as she and her family worked to integrate various areas of their community in East Orange, New Jersey.

Mareea was an active and devoted member at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church for over forty years. At St Barnabas that she was on the Vestry and served as Senior Warden. During her time at St. Barnabas, she was appointed, by the late Bishop Peter Lee, to The Diocesan Committee on Racial Equity and Diversity. Mareea loved the committee and its mission, and she traveled the world to promote leadership that includes all races and ethnicities. In 2015, the Committee on Race for the Diocese of Virginia created the Meet Me in Galilee Award, honoring Mareea, which recognizes individuals or churches in the Diocese for continuing work in the ministry of reconciliation.

Mareea moved to Charlottesville, VA, in November 2015, where she attended Trinity Episcopal Church. During her time at Trinity, she had an impact on the church and found another church family. She met new bonus family members and friends that she loved and welcomed into her life.

Nutrition and food were her passions, and her food had to be served HOT. Mareea loved the theatre, especially an old cowboy movie, as well as the music of Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, and Sting. She loved to dance and was a member of the modern dance team, The Terpsichoreans, at Hampton Institute. Mareea fought for equality from an early age, insisting on the opportunity to try out for the girls’ swim team at East Orange High School—and she made the team. She openly shared her life experiences with grace and humility. It was often said that Mareea never met a stranger and was widely known for her kindness.

Mareea was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Leonidas Eugene Wilson, Jr.; her mother, Gazarene Lane Foster; her father, Leroy Ellerson; her stepfather, Jose Foster; and her sister, Clochette Ellerson.

She leaves to cherish her memory her loving daughters, Leah W. Puryear, Jan W. Jones, and Betty Jo Fortune; her grandchildren, Alysha Corbin, Dominique Fortune, Malikah Jones, Gena Fortune (Colin), Al Jones (Jordan), Eugene Puryear, and Ridwan Abdul Ahad; her great-granddaughters, Jaylee Witcher, Ellerson Ripley Fortune Girkins, Maryam Abdul Ahad, and Myra Abdul Ahad; along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. She was a second mother and grandmother to many.

A memorial service celebrating Mareea’s life will be held on January 17, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 4801 Ravensworth Road, Annandale, Virginia 22003. The service will be live streamed via the church’s website at www.st-barnabaschurch.org.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Mareea’s honor to St. Barnabas Episcopal Church or to Trinity Episcopal Church, 1118 Preston Avenue, Charlottesville, Virginia, where she faithfully worshiped until the time of her passing (www.trinityepiscopalchurch.org).

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to all who have offered prayers, kindness, cards, gifts, emails, texts, and support during her recent illness and this time of loss. And a special thank you to her medical teams, her loving caretakers (Shelly Bryant and Kyana Brittle), and to the staff at the Independence for always being there when needed.

In Loving Memory
Of
Thelma Ladoris Carey
January 9, 1936 - December 5, 2025

Thelma Ladoris Carey was born on January 9, 1936, and peacefully departed this life on December 5, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of strength, discipline, love and unwavering devotion to family. Her life stands as a powerful testament to character, resilience, and purpose, one that will continue to guide generations to come.
Thelma was the beloved daughter of Roy Massie Payne and Willie Ann Wood, who instilled in her the values of responsibility, dignity, and perseverance. These early lessons became the foundation upon which she built a home rooted in structure, love, and unwavering standards shaping the lives of those who came after her.

A woman of remarkable balance Thelma was firm yet nurturing, disciplined yet deeply compassionate. She believe integrity began at home and ensured her family understood that truth through daily examples. Her work ethic was instilled in her children and grandchildren with intention and consistency. Under Thelma’s watch, responsibility was never optional. You made your bed, washed dishes, cleaned your room, and maintained it. These were not merely chores, but life lessons. Cleanliness, order, and pride in one’s space reflected self-respect and uncleanliness simply did not exist under Thelma’s roof.

She demanded that her children and grandchildren respect their elders, carry themselves with manners, and learn how to provide for themselves as individuals. These expectations were never meant to burden, but to prepare. She taught these lessons not through lectures, but through how she maintained her home honored her responsibilities and lived her life with consistency and purpose.

While Thelma possessed one of the kindest hearts anyone could ever know, her kindness was grounded in strength. It was never a weakness. She had no hesitation in standing her ground or putting someone in their place when necessary, always with clarity, conviction, and love. She understood that true love sometimes required firmness, and she carried that responsibility without apology.

Thelma’s love for her grandchildren was profound and unmistakable. She played an integral role in raising them, standing not only as a grandmother but as a steady, guiding presence in their lives. Alongside her beloved sisters, who all preceded her in death. Thelma formed the village that nurtured, protected, and shaped her grandchildren. There was nothing she would not do for them. She showed up consistently, provided stability, and poured herself into their upbringing with devotion and pride.

She also spoiled them in the ways only a grandmother can, with warmth, laughter, and generosity. Whether through quiet moments, thoughtful gestures, or simply being present, she made each grandchild feel deeply loved and uniquely special. They were her joy, her purpose, and her greatest pride. As time passed and Thelma assumed her as the family’s Matriarch, she extended that same love, guidance, and wisdom to her great-grandchildren. Because of her influence they are better prepared for life, grounded in values that will endure for generations.

Thelma’s life was also marked by profound loss, which she carried with extraordinary grace. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Norbert Matthew Carey, whose love and partnership remained a source of strength throughout her life. She also endured the heartbreaking loss of her siblings and her children, pain few could imagine. Yet even in grief, Thelma remained standing. She continued to love, nurture, and give of herself, never allowing sorrow to diminish her spirit. Her strength was quiet, steady, and deeply inspiring.

She leaves to cherish her memory her beloved grandchildren: Jonathan Banks, Tiffany Christmas, Terri Anthony-Brown and husband, Rovelle Brown, Ruth White and husband, William White, and La’Mont Payne.

She also leaves behind her treasured great-grandchildren: Ta’Quaysha, Torius, Erika, Imani, La’ Ajah, Shanna, Jaden, Tishawn, Dimitri, Jacob, Maurice, Jamari, and Khyrie, along with a growing generation of great-great-grandchildren, each a living continuation of her legacy and a reflection of a life that continues far beyond her years.

Also mourning her loss is a nephew who was exceptionally near and dear to her heart, Lloyd Payne. To Thelma, Lloyd was far more than a nephew. He was a constant presence, a source of pride, and someone she loved with the depth and devotion of a son. Their bond was rooted in mutual respect, loyalty, and unwavering affection, and it remained strong through every season of life. She took great joy in his journey, his character, and the man he became, holding him close to her heart always.

That same love extended effortlessly to Lloyd’s children, Krystal Payne and Giavanni Asberry, whom Thelma cherished deeply. She embraced them with the same warmth, guidance, and protective love that defined her role as Matriarch. They were never simply relatives to her, but family in the truest sense, surrounded by encouragement, wisdom, and unconditional care. She celebrated their milestones, prayed over their futures, and took pride in watching them grow.

Thelma Ladoris Carey will forever be missed, lovingly remembered, and deeply cherished. Her legacy lives on in the lives she shaped, the standards she set, and the love she gave so freely. Though she has transitioned from this life, her lessons remain, carried forward by generations who will continue to honor her name.

A memorial service will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at Pilgrim Baptist Church, with oo the Reverend Clifford C. Waller officiating.
