Marion Virginia Fanning

Marion V. Fanning, 84, formerly of Fairfax County and Prince William County, Virginia, ended her long battle with Alzheimer’s disease on January 12, 2013, in Walterboro, South Carolina. Marion enjoyed an inspiring and successful Civil Service career at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, from which she retired in 1980.

She was predeceased by sons Charles and Stephen in 1970 and 1971, respectively, and by her husband, Carl D. Fanning, Sr., in 1980. She is survived by her daughter, Sandra M. Benites, of Walterboro, South Carolina, and her son, Carl D. Fanning, Jr., of Melbourne, Florida; her sister, Vivian D. Stull, of Dale City, Virginia, as well as nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, grand–nephews, and many loving friends. We will all miss her enormously.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be sent to The Alzheimer’s Association, www.alz.org, or P. O. Box 96011, Washington, DC 20090-6011.
