Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia

Cheryl Tompkins ran the Stoney Creek Pharmacy for years and years – it wasn’t just her job, it was her passion to provide a listening ear and a helping hand to the Nellysford community. But earlier this year, Cheryl had to put her health first and cut back the pharmacy’s hour – something she didn’t like to do.

“I would said that I would hope that if we could get in there and be a part of not only the business community, but a service to the community, that’s what I really want to do,” added Joe. “Of course we want to be successful, but it is our place to be a service and I would have to say that one of the best things we can do for [Cheryl] is to honor her and her commitment to have the pharmacy as a service to the community.
