A talented artist who was beautiful inside and out.
Sigrid was organized, tenacious, and always gave 110% to everything she did. And she did it with grace and humor.
She will be remembered for her vibrant art, her caring nature, that mischievous twinkle in her eyes, and all she did for us in the Lake of the Woods Arts community. She will be remembered fondly by everyone who knew her as an artist and friend. Her obituary can be read here.
She will be missed beyond words.
Lake of the Woods is located in Locust Grove, Virginia, halfway between Fredericksburg and Culpeper on Route 3. Our 500 acre lake is the center of this vibrant community of more than 8,000 residents, the largest population center in Orange County.
