Anna-Marie Dalton | Crash Date Feb 19, 2019
“Anna-Marie Elizabeth Dalton was born on April 22, 1995. Anna loved life. She was a dreamer and wanted to make this world a better place. She loved to have fun, laugh, hang out with her friends and family. Anna graduated from Warren County High school in 2013. In 2019, she was working two jobs and coming up on her third year at Shenandoah River State Park where she was the Administrative Assistant. She was also working at Walmart as a Pharmacy technician. Anna had dreams of moving to the Outer banks with her sister after finishing school. Sadly, on February 19, 2019, at the age of 23, Anna was struck and killed. Anna’s dreams will never come true because of one person’s choice to drive impaired, and my world was forever changed. Anna's death has affected me, her mother, in ways that no one can imagine. Nights are filled with pain and days are filled with tears. Grief is a life-long partner that will always be with me. Death is supposed to be final. But for our family we experience the pain of her loss every day.
Anna was such a bright light, and this world is forever a little darker without her in it. She will forever be loved and missed.”
-Kristine Villatoro, Anna’s Mother
Sherman Richardson | Crash Date Dec 5, 2014
“I received a call that my beloved husband of two decades was killed by a hit- and-run impaired driver on his way to work at 6:30 am. Just thirty minutes after he had kissed me goodbye for what would be the last time. My life was forever changed. In the face of unimaginable pain, I found solace and hope through MADD – an organization that has been a guiding light throughout my journey. Since that tragic day, I’ve dedicated myself to transforming my pain into purpose, working alongside MADD to bring awareness to the impact that impaired driving inflicts on our communities, and, for far too many of us, our loved ones.”
-Jawana Richardson, Sherman’s Widow
