Surrounded at home, with the loving care of her family, Calithia R.

Bushrod, was called home to be with the Lord on Wednesday,

January 28, 2026.

Calithia, affectionately called "Pick", was born on June 29, 1936, in

Loudoun County, VA to Geneva Robinson and Thomas Robinson.

She was the youngest of three children from this union. Calithia was

predeceased by her parents, Geneva Bowman Stewart, and

Thomas Robinson; husband, Joseph R. Bushrod, Sr. stepfather Norman Stewart; brother Wade

Robinson, sister Arnishia Jackson; and stepbrother, George Stewart.

Calithia loved her church family and was an active and faithful

member of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, Aldie. She attended

frequently until a few health issues slowed her down. She looked

forward to singing in the Senior Choir and the Combined Choir. She

attended the one-room Bull Run School in Aldie, and attended

Douglass High School. After 19 years of dedicated service with IBM,

she retired and maintained close relationships with other employees.

She leaves to cherish her memory six children: Graylin L. Bushrod of

Aldie; Joseph R. Bushrod, Jr. (Teresa) of South Riding; Fran E. Bushrod

of Manassas; Darren T. Bushrod (Doris) of Aldie; Stacy B. Bushrod

(Charmaine) of Leesburg; Tami S. Aleem (Kairi) of Aldie; aunt: Thurnell

Levenberry of Falls Church; best friend Louetta Newman; two sisters-

in-law: Dorothy Carpenter of Reston; Roberta Robinson of Aldie;

stepsister-in-law: Joan "Cleo" Stewart of Aldie; and stepsister, Mary

Malcolm of Arlington; 11 grandchildren: Jameca Bushrod, Jesse

Bushrod-Morgan, Thomas Bushrod, Shawn Brooks, Teesha Bushrod,

Bailey Bushrod, Nadira Aleem, Kamal Aleem, Carl Thomas, Chakeyia

Smith, Chawntae Taswell, 18 great grandchildren, two great great

grandsons, and a host of nieces, nephews, and other relatives and

friends. She always stressed the importance of family, and she

valued highly every precious moment with her immediate and

extended family.
