Deepest Condolences and Sympathy
From The Scott & Whitaker Family
While I was in college, I worked part time for Old Dominion Bank (which became First Virginia Bank) and had the privilege of working with Lorraine. She was a bankers banker. Knew bank operations like the back of her hand and knew all her customer by name. Lorraine ‘was’ the Fairfax Drive branch. She was a great lady (RIP). May I also offer my sincere condolences to her son Jim. Jim and I were colleagues at the Falls Plaza branch until Jim decided to move from the area. Jody Calabrese
It was probably about 40 yrs. ago when I became the Assistant Manager of the First Virginia Bank Ballston Metro / Fairfax Dr Branch. While I was there, Lorraine but Mrs. Stone to me was an incredible mentor and great source of knowledge for me. I remember her saying hello to seemingly every customer who came up the escalator. She would tell me about the early days of First Virginia and how a current Executive of the Bank would sit at his desk as a trainee at her branch and “his long legs would stick out from under his desk”. I remember the row of desks on the admin side of the branch with Mrs. Stone sitting in front of me and was always willing to share her institutional and overall banking knowledge with me. Mrs. Stone thank you for showing interest in a 23 yr. old kid, one of many that passed by your desk during your many years of service at First Virginia. After 92 years, no doubt you are experiencing all the peace and grace that you deserve. Many thanks!
With much respect, Jeff Harris Retired Sr. Vice President of First Virginia / BB&T Bank
