IN THE CARE OF

Murphy Funeral Homes

Camille Grimes Brewster September 23, 1941-July 24, 2020 It is with great sadness that the family of Camille Grimes Brewster announce her passing on July 24, 2020. She was preceded in death by her parents; Frank Hume Grimes Jr. and Mary Louise Colliflower and her husband of 37 years; Thomas Edward Brewster. Beloved mother of Kathleen (Joe) Dunn and Sharon (Keith) Bretzfield; loving Gigi of Brady Thomas and Joseph Ryan Dunn and Tinsley Carter and Tenley Piper Bretzfield. She leaves behind her siblings, Mary Cecilia “Cee Cee” Van Hecke, Cristina Grimes Piotrowski and Frank Grimes III and many other relatives and friends. Camille graduated from The Academy of the Holy Cross, Class of 1959, and attended St. Mary’s College in Indiana. She spent most of her life devoted to her daughters, volunteering at their elementary school, and later becoming a secretary at Magruder High School in Rockville, MD. Her greatest joy was seeing both her daughters become mothers and enjoying every minute with her four grandchildren. Camille never missed sending a greeting card to friends and family, just letting them know she was thinking about them. Despite suffering a stroke in 1997, she continued to live her life with a positive attitude. We admired her strength and great sense of humor. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 from 2-4pm & 5-7pm at Murphy Funeral Home located at 4510 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22204. A Mass and Christian burial will be held at Arlington National Cemetery later this year. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Camille Brewster to the Stroke Comeback Center, 145 Park Street, SE Vienna, VA 22180 or in memory of Camille Brewster, The Academy of the Holy Cross, 4920 Strathmore Avenue, Kensington, MD 20895.
