Celebrating the life of
Whitfield Evans Mallory
May 10, 1930 - February 24, 2013
Whitfield Evans Mallory, born May 10, 1930, in Windsor, North Carolina passed peacefully on February 24, 2013.
Whit is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, the former Eleanor Emmart, son James Brantley Mallory Carolyn, daughter Nancy Lynn Mallory, grandchildren Nathaniel James, Ryan Brantley, and Kevin Scott Mallory, Julia Rose and William Steven Blank, and sister Pat Wood, sister-in-law Matina Mallory, and brothers-in-law Clyde William Emmart and J.D. Emmart. He was predeceased by son Steven Whitfield, parents James Brantley and Bessie Whitfield Mallory, and siblings James Brantley Mallory infant, Cecil Benjamin Edwards infant, Hazel Edwards Leicester, Ellis Edwards, Harry Brantley Mallory, Earl Edwards, and Susie Edwards White.
Whit was graduated from Robersonville H.S. in North Carolina, was drafted into the Army in 1951 and served at Fort Knox, Kentucky, as an artillery instructor during the Korean War. Upon his discharge from the Army in January, 1954, he took the bus to Washington, D.C., carrying only his duffle bag to enroll in business school.
Whit received his accounting degree from Strayer Business College in 1954, where he met Eleanor, and then he began his career as a Certified Public Accountant; he distinguished himself by serving numerous nonprofit and labor organizations. He retired in 1991 as managing partner of Thomas Havey & Co. in Washington, and he and Eleanor retired to Skidaway Island in Savannah, Georgia, in July, 1992.
He was known for traveling to visit his extended family, particularly his five grandchildren. He enjoyed golf, gardening, playing cards, sitting on the beach, tinkering in the garage, and watching western movies. Most of all, Whit poured his passion into his life's work with Civitan International, working tirelessly as a volunteer from 1968-2013 for the benefit of mentally and physically challenged children. He served in many capacities, including club president, district governor, and VP of Civitan International.
Whit concentrated his effort in service to Civitan's Chesapeake District Foundation for Mentally Retarded and Handicapped Children, helping to raise and manage millions of dollars for the organization. The Foundation funds medical research at the UAB Civitan International Research Center in Birmingham, Alabama. Whit received the Civitan International Honor Key and the Chesapeake District Civitan Lifetime Achievement Award.
Family and friends will long remember Whit as a man who never met a stranger, loved to laugh, and cherished those close to him. He appreciated Eleanor's constant care for him in his later years, and his strength during his illness inspired others.
Whit and Eleanor have felt so supported by their church family at Skidaway Island United Methodist and the family wishes to thank Drs. Elizalde, Lorenz, and Remler, and the staffs of Memorial and Candler Hospitals, Savannah Square, and Hospice House Savannah for the compassionate care Whit has received over the years.
A memorial service will be held at Skidaway Island United Methodist Church on Friday March 1, at 11 am. Remembrances can be entered at www.foxandweeks.com. Inurnment will be at a later date at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, in Silver Spring, MD.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations may be made to the Foundation for Mentally Retarded Children, c/o Douglas Potter, 401 Washington Ave., Suite 402, Baltimore, MD 21204

We were very sorry to hear of Whit's passing. On behalf of the Fabrizio family, I wish you our deepest sympathy. I never met Whit personally - only on the phone when he helped me settle my father's and uncle's estates. What a great guy! During those conversations we talked a lot about retirement and golf. I will always consider Whit a close friend. God bless Whit.

I have fond memories of growing up and being with my father's excellent friend 'Mr. Whit.' He always had such a warm way about him, and even though he was intelligent and successful, he was always so down to earth. His many good works are such a testimony to a life well lived. Grace and peace to 'Miss Eleanor' and Jim and Nancy especially, and also to the many that I am sure will miss him so much.
- Ray Sikes, Townsend, DE

- Lance and Laurie Lewis, Gettysburg, PA
In the 21 years that I knew you, you taught me everything from being a man to getting the ball out of the bunker. You introduced me to amazing people just like yourself. Every story you told me, every golf cart ride we had, and every laugh we shared, have all influenced me and I will never ever forget them. You truly were one hell of a human. Anyone who ever knew you is by far a better person because of that. The world has lost an amazing person today and a day wont go by that I wont think about you. I miss you already and can't wait to give you a big hug again. R.I.P. Papa. 5/10/1930-2/24/2013.

Very few times in our lives do we meet someone who extols the ideals of a true gentleman in all aspects. Whit Mallory was certainly one; who gave of himself to help others and always tried to help us learn that by working for the benefit and care of other people, you also earn your own rewards to heaven. Whit, you will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Eleanor and your family.
- Patty and Gene Kinder, Martinsburg, WV
When I heard the news this morning I was saddened to hear that Whit was gone. But then I realized that I was being selfish to feel this way because Heaven welcomed home an angel. Whit was always so kind and just a wonderful person towards me. As a fellow Civitan, I am honored to have known you and to call you one of my Civitan Friends. May God comfort your family during this time of lost and this time of celebration of such an awesome person. Love Always,
