Charlotte Louise (Kunz) Kirsch (Liz), passed away on May 9, 2021, in the Manassas, VA residence that she called home for the last 53 years.
She was born September 16, 1926 in Erie, PA, the youngest daughter of the late Anton and Margaret Daniels Kunz. Her marriage to John Mitchell Kirsch (Jack), her childhood sweetheart, on August 9, 1948, lasted almost 73 years until his recent passing on April 22, 2021. During Jack’s 27 year tenure as a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Kirsches were stationed in Los Angeles and San Francisco, CA; Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; Pittsburgh, PA; and finally Quantico, VA. It was often up to Mrs. Kirsch to pack up and sell the house and then move her three children to the next location after Jack had been transferred and had gone ahead to his next assignment.

Phyllis J. Kent, 87, of Manassas, VA passed away May 11, 2021 peacefully at Woodbine Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Alexandria, VA.
Like many women of her generation, Phyllis came of age in the aftermath of WWII, and a young woman during the women’s and civil rights movements. Always a very strong and capable woman, she made her way in the world by joining the Navy at the age of 18. Soon after joining the Navy, she met her husband, Gene, at the Marine base in San Diego, CA, where they later married. Phyllis and Gene settled in Maryland in the 60’s and raised five children together.
Catholic high schools in the Diocese of Arlington are capping off an unprecedented year with in-person graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2021. Each graduate can invite four guests to join in the celebratory occasion.
The ceremonies, to be held on each respective school’s football field, will take place at the end of May and in early June. High schools in the Diocese safely re-opened at the beginning of the 2020-21 academic year for hybrid (in-person and virtual) learning, as all 41 brick-and-mortar schools reopened for fully in-person or hybrid instruction. This fall, the four high schools plan to resume full-time in-person instruction with ongoing COVID-19 mitigation safety protocols in place.
