Scarlett Leigh Free was stillborn on January 8th, 2023 at 6:27 pm.
She is survived by her parents Mr. Derek R. Free and Katherine (Katie) A. Free (Millard) of Chillicothe, OH, and her twin brother Jameson Lincoln Free. She will be missed by her grandparents Mr. Rami and Bev Yoakum (Virginia Beach, VA), Mr. Kelly and Linda Millard (Virginia Beach), and Mr. Michael and Jan Free (Chillicothe). Her great-grandparents, William (Bill) and Judy Kitts (Chillicothe), William and Charlotte Swingle (Virginia Beach), and Mr. Charles P. Free (Fort Myers), as well as uncles/aunts Sean and Debbie Millard (Virginia Beach), Kyle Millard (San Diego), Christopher and Jenna Free (Virginia Beach), Mark and Taylor Charlton (Virginia Beach), and cousins Willem, Falynn, Lizzie, Zeke, and Eleanor all survive baby Scarlett.
The family would like to express a tremendous amount of love, support, and adoration for the couples’ work family at Adena Regional Medical Center’s L+D, Postpartum, and the staff of Dr. Richard Villarreal for their kindness, tact, professionalism, and heartfelt care they provided in this devastating circumstance. The family would also like to recognize Ware Funeral Home, specifically Justin Long for his compassionate care. The Chillicothe community, Open Door Church, and friends have been a comfort and light through this hard time.
The family requests, in honor of Scarlett, that any donations be made in her name to the Diamond Blackfan Anemia Foundation (DBAF), an organization supporting patients like her father Derek with aplastic anemia at http://www.dbafoundation.org/. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
