Joseph Robert Kolenda, Sr., also known as Joe or “Joe Bob”, a longtime resident of Floresville, Texas, entered eternal rest Sunday, September 10, 2017, at 1:47 A.M., at his residence at the age of 77 years, 5 months, 5 days.

Joe was born on March 5, 1940 in Poth Texas, the son of Nick Kolenda Sr. and Ella Bess Christa Kolenda. He attended school in Poth for the first six years of his life before moving to Floresville. Joe played football as an offensive lineman for the Floresville Tigers. He also helped his father Nick Sr. and brother, Nick Jr., move irrigation pipes, unload corn and perform other chores around the family farm. He met Libbie Ann Bayer, his future wife, through his friends and her cousins during his senior year. He graduated from Floresville High School in 1958. Libbie and Joe were married on July 23, 1960, at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in San Antonio, Texas. Shortly after marrying, they built a home in San Antonio, where they lived from 1962 to 1980. Joe had several jobs right out of high school before he started truck-driving for Southern Pacific Transport Company where he received an outstanding 15 year injury free work performance award. Joe enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping, and being outdoors. He paid into his retirement so Libbie could take a job in Maryland with the Department of Defense. They moved to West Virginia until she could retire and then returned back to their home in Floresville. If you knew Joe, he loved to tell stories and jokes. He loved to attend his grandchildren’s sporting events, band concerts and their other school activities. He was a regular fixture at the Poth High School football games, even after his grandchildren graduated from there. If someone needed help, he was always there. He was diagnosed with leukemia in late June and after going through a week a chemo, did very well. In August, he went in for a second round of chemo treatment. He fought hard to beat the leukemia, but in the end it won, as he succumbed to infections resulting from the treatment. He lost his wife, also from cancer, just short of two years to the month before he passed away in his home. May he be at peace with his loving wife.

Joe is survived by his three children, Joseph “Jay” Robert Kolenda Jr. and wife Terry of Floresville, Timothy E.

Kermit Sande/OGC

I wanted to let you know that after suffering a heart attack on Christmas day my dad, Kermit Sande, passed away peacefully on Friday December 28th with family by his side.  We had just spent a wonderful weekend together as a family celebrating Christmas early.  My mom (his wife Clay) is with me now and will continue to receive caregiving support for her Alzheimer's. I would love for any friends or family to visit or reach out to her to let her know how much she’s loved but given her Alzheimer's it’s necessary to coordinate a call or visit through me.

My dad was a loving and generous man but also private in some ways. He was clear that he did not want a funeral or service to be held, and he did not want an obituary or other public announcement. His family will be respecting those wishes but also know we will forever be celebrating his life.  Please feel free to pass along this private message to any of my dad's loved ones, friends, and business colleagues, as I know his family, friend, and work network was wide, whether back in South Dakota, Norway, or here in Virginia.

Many of you loved and cherished your relationship with my dad Kermit and my mom Clay and know that I would love to hear from you. 

Love,
Tyler Sande

Joyce Trickett, 75, church leader, community volunteer for the poor and homeless, and 35-year government worker, went to her Heavenly Father July 29 after a brief illness.

Ms. Trickett, known as “Joy” to nearly everyone, left a profound impact on her community, her church, and particularly for those who were in the greatest need.  Her family took in many foster children as she was growing up, and she carried her parents’ compassion into the community and the world for her entire life.  Joy perceived volunteering as something she needed to do.  “It is very scriptural,” she told friend and associate Mark Gunderman, “We are supposed to help those who struggle to help themselves.”

Her favorite scripture was Matthew 25:35-40:  “Jesus said, for I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in….  Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me”.

One of her biggest legacies was with the Good Shepherd Alliance (GSA), a Loudoun County nonprofit that serves the homeless and near-homeless.  Joy began volunteering with GSA, in 1997, serving as their Board Treasurer.  She was nominated and served as Board Chair from February 2002 until December 2009.  During those years Joy established a motivated and influential working Board of Directors and built the GSA into one of the most recognized non-profit organizations in Loudoun County.  Now GSA supports more than 3,000 men, women and children each year.  It provides almost 10,000 bed nights a year, and 77% of those it serves go on to stable housing.

Joy was a key player in the founding of Mary’s House of Hope in Purcellville, a GSA shelter which provides housing, counseling, education, love and support to homeless women experiencing a crisis pregnancy.  She established a partnership with the Town of Purcellville, coordinated HUD Community Development Block Grants administered by Loudoun County Department of Family Services, and solicited extraordinary acts of kindness from the community.  Mary’s House of Hope was dedicated on May 12, 2007.  The facility was designed exclusively for pregnant women, or women with newborns, by architect Tom O’ Neil of Leesburg and general contractor Bob Bryner of Lovettsville.  The House of Hope is the only facility of its kind in the area and proudly serves as a beacon light in Purcellville and western Loudoun County.

Again in 2007, Trickett was instrumental in an effort to renovate an old roofing company facility into the 7,000 square foot-two level GSA Center of Hope.  The Center of Hope helps homeless and impoverished families and individuals living in crisis.  This facility houses the administrative and family services staff, volunteers, a thrift store, and the community outreach center.  After arranging for Federal assistance through the office of then-Representative Frank Wolf, Joy melded her program management skills with architect Clint Good, Toll Brothers builders and HomeAid Northern Virginia.  Over 80 contractors and vendors provided reduced rate services for their labor or donated their time and materials to this huge renovation project.  The dedication ceremony took place on July 15, 2008.

Under her guidance, GSA's comprehensive programs for homeless children and youth have twice been distinguished by President Bush's initiatives for a Better America; first by the Washington DC based Points of Light Foundation, "Daily Points of Light Award" in August 2004, and later that year by America’s Promise, as the nation's first "Shelter of Promise.”

Joy also worked with LINK, an all-volunteer food pantry in Herndon that she helped found.  LINK provides emergency food services to people in Herndon, Ashburn, and Sterling.  LINK believes in the power of selfless service and the importance of providing people in crisis with unconditional love.

Joy received the Loudoun Volunteer Services (LVS) 2005 Adult Volunteer of the Year award in Leesburg in April 2005 and the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) 2005 Outstanding Humanitarian Award in Washington, DC in October 2005.  The NCNW award said that Joy “provided unconditional love to people living in crisis and that she fulfills the vision of NCNW founder, Mary McLeod Bethune.”

The 2006 Virginia General Assembly passed Joint Resolution No.  316 commending Joy.  Individuals are nominated for this award based on efforts that are of local, state or national significance.  “Whereas Joy Trickett is dedicated to alleviating homelessness and poverty in Northern Virginia,” the Resolution stated, “Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, that the General Assembly hereby commend Joy Trickett for her valuable service and her devotion to the citizens of Loudoun County and Northern Virginia.”

On September 27, 2006, Trickett was honored by former Representative Frank Wolf by citation in the Congressional Record for her work in addressing and alleviating homelessness and poverty in Northern Virginia.  An excerpt reads, "For many hours each week, she volunteers to make a difference, one person at a time.  On any given day, you might find Ms. Trickett in the Good Shepherd thrift store in Sterling, working with her staff, or writing a grant proposal with her administrative director in Leesburg, or interfacing with other sister organizations like the Clothes Closet in Herndon, LINK in Sterling, Loudoun Red Cross and Northern Virginia Family Services in Fairfax."

Joy also supported many other worthwhile community organizations.  She was a church representative to the Great Falls Area Ministries (formerly Great Falls Ecumenical Council) and was a founding member of the Great Falls Senior Center, serving the latter as its first communications officer and, at the time of her death, president.  She also assisted the Browns Chapel Cemetery Association in making connections with the historical area families whose loved ones are interred there.

Joy was particularly active in the Dranesville Church of the Brethren, where she was a lifelong member.  At one time or another, Joy worked in practically all the church’s ministries.  At the time of her death, she was the church’s Leadership Team Chair, a deacon, and a member of the team’s Outreach and Hospitality teams.

In church, as in the community, Joy got things done.  She worked to raise money to aid young Brethren girls in Chibok, Nigeria, who were kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014.  For those without work, she wrote job recommendations and made employment connections.  Joy was also known for sending encouragement cards or making a phone call to those experiencing both joyous and difficult life circumstances.  She taught Sunday School and was active in encouraging candidates for the ministry.  Joy encouraged the church to contribute to the LINK food pantry; led worship services; helped organize dinners and banquets for the area’s First Responders; and tirelessly prayed for church members and those in the community and the world.

Joyce Ann Trickett was born in Washington, DC on November 30, 1942, to Bruce Leigh Trickett and Bessie Catherine Acors – both of whom she cared for into their elder years.  Except for a few years when she lived in Catharpin, Virginia, she was a lifelong resident of Herndon, Virginia.  She began government service in 1961, and retired in 1996 from the Defense Mapping Agency.  She is survived by a foster brother, Donn Banks, and many cousins.
