The Auxiliary has lost a very kind and wonderful woman, Sharon H. Brennan.  Sharon was a Past President of the VSFA Auxiliary, currently on the Executive Board and is on several committees.  Sharon always had the fire service and the Auxiliary in her heart and soul.  Last year was the first year she has ever missed a Convention and we truly felt her spirit there even though she was not physically there.

Sharon was a mentor to many of the officers going up the chairs and was always there for a phone call, advice or a great big hug.

Sharon will be missed by not only her family but her fire department family around the Commonwealth of Virginia and across the country.

Please Keep her husband Allen, Past President of the State Association, her daughter Liz, current Jr. Past President and her grandchildren, Sarah and Liz in your thoughts and prayers.

The Auxiliary has lost another amazing and kind woman this year.  Phyllis Williams, Past President and Past Secretary of the VSFA Auxiliary.  Phyllis passed away on August 23, 2019.

Phyllis has served with the Christiansburg Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary and the Auxiliary to the Virginia State Firefighter's Association for over 40 years.  She was the Secretary for the State Auxiliary for 25 years.

Phyllis was an amazing woman who was a mentor to many of us as we were all considered family to her.  This is a loss to the Christiansburg Community, the State Auxiliary and she has left a special place in our hearts.

Please continue to keep her family and the Christiansburg Fire Department and Auxiliary in your prayers.

Past President Phyllis Williams (Christiansburg)
