Frank H. Brumback Memorial Endowed Scholarship

This scholarship was endowed in memory of Frank Brumback (1924-2017) by his niece Holly Dillender and her husband Sam, who teaches chemistry at Laurel Ridge Community College. Their two daughters are alumni of the College.

A native of Frederick County, Brumback was a supporter of the College and spoke proudly of his involvement—along with others in Frederick County—leading to the county’s selection as the location for the College, which opened in 1970.

Brumback was a past chairman of the Frederick County Zoning Appeals Board and a past member of the Frederick County Planning Commission from 1975-1989, serving as chairman for eight years.

He was a life-long farmer and orchardist and Vice President of Woodbine Farms, Inc.
Over the years, Brumback was involved in many agricultural-related endeavors as a member of the Lord Fairfax Soil and Water Conservation District, Southern States Cooperative, Virginia Agricultural Foundation, and Virginia Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services to name a few.

Brumback also had an abiding interest in community banking. He was a founding member and chairman of the Bank of Frederick County, Virginia Savings Bank, and The Marathon Bank. He was also vice chairman of First Virginia Bank – Shenandoah.

He was a member of many service organizations and a founding member of the Frederick County Rotary Club. He attended Relief United Methodist Church.
