Donald V. Price

Donald Void Price, Sr. departed this life at eighty-four (84) years old, peacefully and comfortably at his home on Tuesday , December 1, 2020, with his son Donald, Jr., and daughters Margaret and Cecil Simms at his bedside. He was born on December 7, 1935 to the late Ida Rebecca Price and Paul Johnson in Snow Hill, Maryland, where he was raised and lived his entire life.

A graduate of the class of 1953 from Worcester High School, he was employed by various jobs throughout his early life. On April 1, 1963, he began work as a heavy equipment operator for the Worcester County Roads Commission in Snow Hill, Maryland, retiring on April 1, 1993, after thirty (30) years of service. Donald was a lifelong member of Hutts Memorial Chapel. Until his wife Willie Ann’s health began to fail, he attended quite regularly. Then his own health started to fail. This did not stop his contributions to his church. That was something on which he stood firm. In the early days of attending Hutts for years, he “pushed” that mower to up keep the church grounds whenever he knew there was need. He loved his church and church family dearly. Donald, affectionately known as “Don”, will be truly missed by all. That subtle smile, that laugh “Tee-hee-hee”, that was him. When he departed this life Tuesday December 1, 2020, a wealth of knowledge went too. If he met you once and you told your parentage, he could take you back two or three generations of your family tree - on both sides!!! In 1962 he was Joined in holy matrimony to the late Willie Ann (Matthews) Price, whom he loved and cared for until her passing. To this union, six children were born.

They were always there at the drop of a dime to do things that he needed . This was golden to him. He loved you guys one and all.
