degree, Joanna moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico with her future husband, Jon, and
their two dachshunds, to work for a small environmental consulting firm

located mostly in Virginia and the future family she hoped to have one day. She

was at the core of everything she did, from endlessly researching baby bottle
sterilizers, to single handedly replacing all the doorknobs and bathroom
fixtures in her home. Joanna was a fervently protective and devoted mother to
her two boys and not only a loving companion but also best friend to her
husband. Always patient, never quick to anger, and an everlasting wellspring of
love and compassion that will continue to sustain her family long after she has

SYLVESTER LAWRNCE HERRING III.
The Daily
Progress, Charlottesville, VA, Fri, Aug. 31, 2018
Sylvester Lawrence "Trae" Herring III, 40, of Staunton, passed away on Tuesday,
August 28, 2018, at the Shenandoah Hospice House. Born on April 3, 1978, in
Charlottesville, he was the husband of Krissy Smith Herring and the son of
Sylvester Lawrence Herring Jr. and Carolyn Powell Herring. Trae was a unique,
creative and quick witted person who was beloved by all and knew no stranger. He
prided himself on passion and love. As a dedicated husband, son, friend and
co-worker, Trae found within his spirit to keep every aspect of his life filled
with meaning, excitement, adventure and happiness. His passion and love was the
driving force behind his success and happiness. He was sincere in all aspects of
his life and was just as committed to his family as his sports teams, love of
video games, Batman, Dad jokes, The Christmas Story, work and antiques. Trae's
passion can be described best by Nelson Mandela's famous quote, "There is no
passion to be found playing small in settling for a life that is less than the
one you are capable of living." Even during his time of illness, there was a
dedication to fight. He never gave up, made excuses, or stopped doing what he
loved. There are many valuable lessons he unknowingly taught people about life
and living it to the fullest extent. There is not a day that will go by where
someone won't feel his presence, be reminded of a funny one liner, or putting
passion and love above all. He was preceded in death by his paternal
grandfather, Sylvester Lawrence Herring Sr. In addition to his wife and parents,
Trae is survived by his maternal grandmother, Jean Wiebel; paternal grandmother,
Gladys Herring; those who he considered his brothers and sisters, Maurice
Walker, Ken Sosnowski, David Goverman, Wes Reaves, Tanner and Erin Boyle and
Shannon Walsh; nieces and nephews, Mason Wyatt, Cameron, Natalie and Spencer
Boyle and Marley Dorman; mother-in-law, Pam Sullivan and husband, George Cronk;
father-in-law, Scott Smith; as well as a number of aunts, uncles and cousins.
The family will receive friends from 4 until 6 p.m. on Sunday, September 2,
2018, at the Waynesboro Chapel of Reynolds Hamrick Funeral Homes, 618 W. Main
St., Waynesboro. A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. on Monday, September
3, 2018, at the funeral home with Dave Norris officiating. Cremation will take
place following the services at the funeral home. Those desiring may make
memorial contributions in Trae's memory to the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box
