With over 50 years dedicated to the nursing profession, Jacqueline Fields has witnessed firsthand the immense sacrifices nurses make throughout their careers. When she learned of the Nurse Honor Guard tradition, she felt compelled to bring it to the Northern Shenandoah Valley — believing that every nurse who has given so much deserves a meaningful farewell. She founded the chapter in 2022 with the conviction that no nurse should pass without being honored by those who truly understand the weight and the beauty of the work.

Cynthia Moore knew she wanted to be a nurse from the age of six, and she never wavered from that calling. She began her career at the historic Stuart Circle Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, where she developed the clinical foundation and deep sense of purpose that would define her 28 years in nursing. Now a proud member of the NSV Nurse Honor Guard, Cynthia brings that same lifelong dedication to honoring the colleagues who shaped the profession she has loved since childhood.
