Maisie Mae Evans was gently welcomed into the hands of the Lord on her birthday, December 28, 2025.

Though our time with Maisie was heartbreakingly short, the love we have for her is never-ending. From the moment we knew of her, she was deeply cherished, surrounded by prayers, hopes, and love beyond measure. Though many never had the chance to hold her, she was known and loved by all who surrounded us. Maisie will forever be our daughter, held in our hearts for all time, and lovingly remembered by our family whose lives she changed in ways words cannot express.

!!!!URGENT INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES!!!!

We want to alert the community to a recent scam affecting families throughout Virginia. Scammers have been posing as funeral home staff, contacting families by phone and pressuring them to make immediate payments. These individuals can sound very credible and may use the names of actual funeral homes and employees.

Please remember: we will never request payment over the phone. If you receive a call of this nature, do not share any personal information and end the call immediately.

If you ever have questions or feel uncertain about anything related to your loved one’s arrangements, please reach out to the funeral home directly—day or night—to speak with a licensed funeral director. We also encourage you to notify family members and inform the funeral home if you are targeted by such a call.

We remain committed to protecting ALL the families we serve.
