He is survived by and was married to the love of his life, Mary Ann (Weiland) Longmore, for over thirty-nine years. He is also survived by his son and daugher-in-law, Chris and Katie (Raley) Longmore, and his five sisters Rose Marie Weiland, Elsie Sullivan, Mary Lou Frain, Elizabeth Longmore, and Marian Bowser. He has three grandchildren, Zachary, Bella and Gabrielle, who affectionately know him as "Pop Pop." He was preceded in death by his parents, James Abell Longmore, Sr. and Rose Theresa Longmore, and his brother, William Leonard Longmore. Abell is a lifelong resident of St. Mary's County, living most of his sixty-five years in Leonardtown. Together with Mary Ann, he formerly owned and operated the Ben Franklin "five and dime" and variety store in Leonardtown, which was a family owned business that was originally owned and operated by his parents and other family members. This business served as a central retail center in the Leonardtown area for many years and was a place where Abell met, conversed and counseled with countless friends and strangers over the years. Abell served his country with honor in Viet Nam. While in this service, he was a medic who provided aid to his fellow service men and women as well as many others who had been injured during the war. After his return from Viet Nam, Abell informally counseled many of his friends and others who had also been to Viet Nam. Abell loved St. Mary's County and was active in his community. He was involved in many political campaigns and loved to be on the campaign trail mostly because of how many people he got to meet. He was a charter member of the Leonardtown Rescue Squad and previously served as its Chief and President. He was active in many other boards and organizations over the years, including Walden Sierra, Inc.; the St. Mary's County Chamber of Commerce; St. Mary's County Nursing Center; St. Mary's County Parks and Recreation; Christmas in April of St. Mary's; the SMECO Election and Credential Committee; the Leonardtown Lions Club; and Tri-County Group Homes, Inc. Abell was the St. Mary's County Chamber of Commerce's "Business Person of the Year" in 1987 and was the St. Mary's County Democratic Club's "Democrat of the Year" in 2006. Later in life, Abell suffered with many physical ailments but did not allow those to alter his kind spirit or his desire to help others. Abell began volunteering with Hospice of St. Mary's and almost immediately this work became his passion. He spent countless hours counseling and befriending both individuals who were close to death and their families. He traveled day and night all over the County when needed and was touched deeply by each of his patients. Most of All, Abell loved to spend time with his family. These special times included trips to Ocean City with Mary Ann, performing one of his many "projects" around the house with his son Chris, and just talking for hours over a dinner or cookout with Mary Ann, Chris, Katie and his grandchildren. Abell had a strong faith, and used this as his guide in all of the work he did for others and for the unconditional love he shared with his friends and family. Family received friends for Abell's Life Celebration on Thursday, March 19, 2009 from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. in St. Aloysius Catholic Church, 22800 Washington Street, Leonardtown, MD 20650. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated today, Friday, March 20, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. in St. Aloysius Catholic Church. Interment will follow in Immaculate Heart of Mary Cemetery, Lexington Park, MD. Arrangements by the Brinsfield Funeral Home, P.A., Leonardtown, MD.
