Celebrating the Lives of Two CapeCharles Icons
Cape Charles lost two, larger than life icons in the lastyear. They are near and dear to our hearts. Lloyd Kellam
passed on Oct. 2, 2023 and Patty Spencer McKlusky
passed on April 19, 2024. They are missed beyond
measure.
We find it increasing urgent to record the oral histories ofour beloved residents. We were blessed that Cindy
Oral History Videos
McKlusky agreed to let us interview Patty just days
before she moved to Florida. Our thoughts and prayers
are with Sue Kellam & Lloyd`s family and the family of Patty. You can view their oral
histories on our YouTube channel by clicking on photo.
