Memorial services for Walter A. Cholmondeley, 85, were held Wednesday, April 4, 2007, at the Church of the Mediator in Washington. Interment was in the Church of the Mediator Garden. He died March 23 in New York.

Mr. Cholmondeley was born in Harlem, N.Y., the second child of Walter and Stella Cholmondeley, Bajan immigrants. He joined the United States Army, fighting in World War II.

He was a deputy sheriff in New Mexico and Arizona and a captain in Las Vegas. Serving as a scripture reader at the Church of the Mediator in Washington Wilkes and at St. Mary's Episcopal church in Augusta gave him much joy in his later years.
