Harper and wife Gayle, Donald W. Harper and significant other Katie Hamann; special friend and caregiver for her and Charlie, Betty Washington.Betty and Charlie were a cornerstone of the Louisa Community and will be acutely missed. They actively shared their time, labor and their home with neighbors, family members and those in need. They attended Louisa Baptist Church for many years.Visitation will be held at 11:30 A.M. on Saturday, March 19, 2016 with a funeral service to follow at 1:00 P.M. at Woodward Funeral Home Chapel, Louisa, VA.
