Description
Portrait of Charlotte (Funk) Chellini with her young son, Mickey.
Charlotte was one of many children born to Oliver Milton (1898-1980) and Florence Virginia (Fogle) (1900-1994) Funk.
Charlotte was a lifelong Woodstock resident and member of the St. John Bosco Catholic Church there.
In August 1946, she married Miguel "Mike" Angel Chelini, Jr. (1924-1992), a graduate of MMA born in Venezuela. He was a Spanish teacher at Central High School for several years and active in the community.
Two years later, the couple bought a house and 3 acres near Readus, west of Woodstock, for $7,000.
During their years together, the Northern Virginia Daily newspaper reported on several of their family’s milestones including a visit from Mike’s relatives from Venezuela, the birth of their son, Michael, and a large 50th wedding anniversary party held at their home for Charlotte’s grandparents.
Mike and Charlotte had two sons, Michael III, and Richardo Anthony Chellini. Unfortunately, Richardo died unexpectedly when he was just 18 years old.
Michael “Mickey” Angel Chellini, III, grew up in Woodstock. As a child, he played tennis in the local league and attended Central High School initially. Then, in September, 1963, he was one of only twelve day students (in a class of 350 cadets) entering Massanutten Academy for its 65th year. The 1966 MMA yearbook includes his photograph with these accolades: “Corporal … Asst. Squad Leader … Junior Varsity Football … Thousand Merit Club … Gearing Rifles … Ambition: Engineer … 3 years at MMA … Poe.”
In 1972, Mickey married Patricia Ann Barb (1952 - ). She was born in Orkney Springs to Philip William Barb, Sr., and Ruby Florence (Biller) Barb. The couple had at least one son and raised their family in the Woodstock area.
