The Fredericksburg Amateur in Memory of Anita Marie Stonehill
Throughout the year, we gather with friends and family. We bring life to our memories while making new ones. We reflect on those who have walked this journey with us and the impact they have had on our lives.
Mary Washington Hospice walks alongside hundreds of patients and their loved ones each year, providing expert medical care, emotional support and spiritual guidance with compassion and dignity. Because no one should be denied comfort during life's most difficult moments, we ensure that those who are unable to pay still receive the care they deserve.
When you purchase a luminaria in honor of someone special, you do more than create a beautiful tribute. You help bring comfort, hope and healing to others. Your generosity makes it possible for us to provide grief camps for children and teens, monthly peer support groups for individuals and families, and specialized grief education for mental health professionals across our region. These programs ensure that no one navigates loss alone.
Please consider purchasing a luminaria today. Together, we can honor the lives of those we love while helping ensure compassionate hospice care and grief support remain available to every family who needs them.
Proceeds from this illumination benefit Mary Washington Hospice. Tax ID number is 54-1552324.
Our work is made possible by the dedication of community volunteers.
Thank you to our 2026 sponsors
