INFORMATION CONCERNING BURIALS FOR ALL VETERANS
We would like to inform our families that anyone who is a Veteran or have a family member who has served in the military and would like to be laid to rest at Maryland State Veterans Cemetery, a DD214 Form is necessary. The DD214 form shows the Branch of Service, Identificaton Number; as well as Status of Discharge.
If your loved one does not have DD214, please see attached link for acquiring DD214 in advance www.dd214.us/methods.html If you have your DD214 form available please contact the Veterans cemetery of your choice directly to pre register for Interment. A Pre-interment Program is available for veterans to indicate their desire to be buried in one of the state’s cemeteries. On a pre-need basis this Program provides initial eligibility for burial.

The MDVA reserves the right to confirm final eligibility for burial at the time of death. To apply complete the Pre Interment Application and mail to the MDVA Cemetery Program or take to the Maryland Veterans Cemetery where interment is desired.
*Effective Immediately, the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs Cemetery and Memorial Program does not have a Service Verification Specialist.

Suzette Plater
Susette was born December 1952 in Washington, D.C. She was the first child born to the late Daniel N. Hawkins Jr. and Mildred R. Hawkins. Susette was educated in the Charles County school system and graduated from Thomas Stone High school in 1971. She later went on to obtain a degree from Lacaze Business College in 1973. Throughout the late seventies, eighties, and early nineties she worked various administration jobs ranging from the Department of Justice, Department of Commerce, Meridian Nursing Center, and Charles County Community College. Ultimately, Susette left the work force to focus on her family.
Susette had three sons from a previous marriage, Lawrence, Corey, and Marcus and in May of 1992 she married the love of her life James Plater; from that union they had another son Terrance.
Susette had a strong bond with all her sons and loved and cared for them deeply, but she had a special love for her son, Marcus. And once her grandchildren came along, her heart was so full. Darius, Desiree, DeMonte, and DaKari truly held her heart. There was nothing in world that Susette would not do to care and provide for her family. She was indeed the epitome of a loving devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She loved cooking, sewing, shopping and family gatherings and travel. She also served as the unofficial family historian. If anyone had any questions about the family lineage or needed to reminisce, she was the one to go to.
Susette was a prayerful and faithful woman who loved God. She was raised in the church and her family attended her home church Union Bethel A.ME. from time to time. As it became harder for her to attend church physically, her son and her nieces taught her how to login into the church’s live stream. Once Susette became knowledgeable about new technology there was nothing stopping her. Her text messages were always filled with kind words, thoughts and prayers and we cannot forget about the emoji’s, those were like her signature, that is how she showed her love.
Susette loved people as she loved the Lord, she truly had a big heart and would go out of her way to help anybody. Susette was incredibly patient and kind. She had a motherly spirit that filled many hearts. One thing that Susette was notorious for was running late. Punctually was not one her strong suit yet she was always right on time (her time) when she arrived at a function it was always full of joy and laughter. Her family and friends would always get a call or text on their birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays she was very thoughtful in that way. Now mind you, it might have been a little late, but you always knew her heart was in the right place.Susette will truly be missed by her family especially her loving husband of almost 30 years and all those her loved her.
Susette is preceded in death by her parents, Daniel and Mildred Hawkins, her brother, Daniel (Nathaniel) Hawkins III, two sisters, Remelia (Chiquita) Hawkins and Anita (Tawanna) Duckett, as well as her daughter in-law Leslie Plater. Susette leaves to cherish her loving memory her husband James Plater, Four sons Lawrence Grant, Jr., Corey Grant, Marcus Grant, and Terrence Plater (Chelsea Cruz). Four Grandchildren Darius Grant, Desriee’ Grant, Demonte Grant and Dakari Grant. Two Stepdaughters Kay Harrod (Earl) and Zena Plater and Stepson, James (Jimmy) Plater, Jr. (Paulette) Two sisters, Rosalind (Lynn) Hawkins and Rosalie (Lee Lee) Hawkins.
