Mary Elizabeth Matuszewski(1967 - 2018)
Mary Elizabeth (Phillips) Matuszewski, 50, of Great Falls, Virginia, died at home Jan. 24, 2018, surrounded by family.
In May of 2016 she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and faced the battle with courage and determination. She was an avid adventurer, loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, and lifelong patriot.
Born on Nov. 8, 1967, in Ames, she grew up in Lake Jackson, Texas, and graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in mechanical engineering.

During her career she received multiple awards for extraordinary contributions, including three CIA Meritorious Unit Citations. Her career is highlighted by senior management positions in counterterrorism and operations following Sept. 11, 2001, and most recently as Chief of Base in a War Zone.
Survivors include her husband, Andrew Matuszewski, and their three sons, Connor, John and Michael, her parents, Gary and Sharon Phillips, of Midland, Michigan, her sister, Jean (Todd) Hall, of Boulder, Colorado, and her brother, Bryan Phillips, of Phoenix.
