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. Please note that a pre-approved interment letter does not finalize eligibility for burial in a Maryland Veterans Cemetery. 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. This courtesy will no longer be provided by the department and verification of service will be the responsibility of the surviving family or their designated representative.

passed away peacefully at Genesis Rehabilitation Center in Waldorf, Maryland early Tuesday, November 19, 2019.

After graduating from Frederick Douglas High School in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Wilhelmina started her career working on the Tobacco Farms and later becoming the Lead Cook for Prince George's County Public Schools until retirement in 2003.

Wilhelmina was united in holy matrimony to the late Elder Joseph Lawrence Butler on February 15, 1964. From this union were born three children, Sharon, Anthony, and Sandra. She was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her family and embraced every moment with them.

Wilhelmina accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal savior and was a devoted member of the Apostolic Faith Church of God Inc. of Washington, DC for many years. During this time, Wilhelmina was ordained a Missionary of the church. She was indeed a praying woman of God.

Erik Duncan Bush (Age 49)

Suddenly and unexpectedly, on Thursday, November 14, 2019, at the INOVA Fair Oaks Hospital, Fairfax, VA., Erik Duncan Bush departed this life. He was born on Mother's Day, May 10, 1970, to the late Thomas S. and Shirley Stewart Bush of Upper Marlboro, MD. His parents felt they were eternally blessed and cherished every moment they had him in their midst. Erik never disappointed them, or caused them strife. He was a good natured and loving child. He did everything he promised them he would do.

Erik graduated elementary school from Saint Mary's of Piscataway, Clinton, MD, graduated High School from Bishop McNamara, Forestville, MD, received an Associate of Science Degree from ITT Technical Institute, Owings Mills, MD, and, a Bachelor of Science Degree from Strayer University, Washington, DC. He was always a great student with a keen interest in computers. He was a Network Engineer who worked as a contractor for the Department of Defense.

On July 25, 1998, he was united in marriage to Marcia Robinson. From that union, one son was born, TaKeo Xander Robinson Bush. He was also blessed with a chosen daughter, Remington Robinson. The marriage ended in divorce but they remained close and totally committed to the rearing of their children. Erik was family oriented. He loved being in the company of both sides of his family and rarely missed family events, or an opportunity to interact with his cousins, especially the babies. He was called a "Gentle Giant" by his family, and, was one of many gentle giant male cousins who often fought over who would get to hold the babies. They always had babies in their arms. He adored his children and was totally devoted to his Mother and in return was his Mother's joy. He was always mild mannered and respectful. Erik loved to cook, often turning his back on others to hide his "special" seasonings. He was an avid "Cowboys" fan almost to the point of hysteria (especially when they were losing). His death has left his whole family in total devastation. We will miss him, so. Erik was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Bush. He leaves to cherish precious memories, his son, TaKeo; his daughter, Remington; his mother, Shirley; his former wife, MarCia; Goddaughter, Laila Bing; Godsons, Justin Thompson Marc Thomas; eight Aunts, two Uncles; three Uncles-in-law; two Aunts-in-law; countless cousins, and, other relatives and friends, and, a special Uncle, Stevenolan.
