Adelaide Willoughby Forman  
Addie Forman, born March 24, 1978, in Washington, DC, died unexpectedly on December 12, 2016, while staying at a beachside inn in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. Cause of death was hemorrhage of the upper digestive tract and a perforated peptic ulcer. Addie grew up in an apartment in Bethesda, Maryland, between visits to family and friends in Virginia, Colorado, Kansas, Tennessee, Texas, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York City; she lived for a time in Washington, DC, California, the Virgin Islands, and Costa Rica. Since childhood she kept diaries and collected books, recordings, and gadgets. She and sister Alice went to top of Pike?s Peak with their Grandmother Forman, spent hours with their Tennessee cousins in a swimming hole near the Appalachian Trail, and watched their father receive his Ph.D. in economics from George Mason University in 1985. They often spent summers, Thanksgiving, and Christmas with their grandparents, Byron and Mary Stuart Banks (later Weber), at West View Farm, Broad Run, Virginia, where they slept in a cottage, surrounded by fields, gardens, trees, cattle, three dogs, and a cat. The farm had been given in 1832 to their great-great-great grandfather, Henry Smith, the chief surveyor for Fauquier County, and was once one of a string of farms belonging to cousins, all the way into Warrenton. Addie held her first job while in high school, managing a two-person construction office in Washington, DC, and eventually held jobs in real estate, non-profit foundations, a law school, craft and cooking supply shops, waitressing, insurance, and interior design, as well as taking courses at University of the District of Columbia (UDC). She also volunteered, including working at the Montgomery County polls as an election judge. Her sister Alice Gillette Forman died January 13, 2006. Addie is survived by her parents, Frank and Sarah Forman, of Chevy Chase, MD, as well as aunts and uncles and numerous cousins. A memorial service for Addie Forman will be held at Grace Episcopal Church, 6507 Main Street, The Plains, Va., at 11 a.m. on Saturday, August 26, 2017. Addie will share a grave site with her sister Alice in Little Georgetown Cemetery, near Broad Run. Donations for maintenance of the Little Georgetown Cemetery may be made in her memory, care of Grace Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 32, The Plains, VA 20198.www.moserfuneralhome.com
