Tillatoba News
By Patcie Deck
Love and sympathy to the family of Larry Moore Hunter of Grenada. Mr. Larry, 79, passed away Friday, July 10, at The Magnolia at Oxford Commons in Oxford.
Survivors include his loving and devoted wife, Rebecca Conway Hunter; daughters, Amanda Hunter Brown (Riley) of Mantee and Lora Elizabeth Hunter (Channelle) of Oxford; a son, Gregg Hunter of Eupora; a sister, Peggy Nutt (Danny) of Vienna, Ga.; nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Tillatoba Baptist Church VBS started Sunday afternoon and continues until July 15 at 6 p.m. nightly. The title for this year’s VBS is “Illumination Station.”
Diane Dukes reported there were 28 to 30 present for the first night. Not as good as last year, but everybody had a good time.
Those helping with VBS are Diane Dukes, Virginia Beavers, Terri Dukes, Sam Pullen, Lori McCollum, Diane Loftin, Bubba Howe and Mark Hartley. Mark does the popcorn, and it’s delicious. Diane Dukes was slipping a few pieces of it while Terri wasn’t looking. (Diane is not supposed to be eating popcorn.) She said it smelled so good that she could not resist! And they all enjoyed it very much.
Diane said Brother Rickey preached a good sermon Sunday morning.
Debbie McCool reports keeping her son-in-law, Jason Beavers, busy this week. He pulled the carpet up in her living room and put down a wood floor. One more coat of varnish and they get to go home! She said it looks beautiful.
Freda Weir said they are just trying to stay cool. I’m afraid that’s not easy these days, Freda!
Martha Box said this daggum heat is absolutely axycray (crazy in Pig Latin!) Bakersfield, Calif., at 116 degrees in the shade was more tolerable than this week in Tillatoba.
Princess Millie Kate, Martha’s new little great-granddaughter, came by to see her Friday. As she was lying snug on Aunt Lillie’s shoulder, she heard GiGi’s (Martha’s) voice. One week old, she raised her head and shoulders and looked about!
“Lol, we all almost jumped to attention,” said Martha!
Martha reported a great ride over to Pine Grove Church Sunday and a wonderful word from Bro. Scarborough. God’s greatest creation among all His creations is the Way of Salvation for us all, Jesus!
Martha loved the visit with friends and family, and special moments with her G-boy Josh, such a handsome guitar-picking sweetheart! She missed Jake and hopes he will be home next week.
Jacque Chambers said she has been busy taking care of the sick folks on The Compound.
Your writer’s visitors this week were Jason Beavers, Bobby Ray Jackson and our daughter, Donna.
Celebrating birthdays this week are Patrick Darby on the 17th, Dale Dukes on the 18th, Holly Paige Dukes and Tommy McCool on the 19th, and Patricia Lindley on the 21st. I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating your special day!
Thought for the day… I hate it when people ask me if I did anything exciting over the weekend. Like I’m over here skydiving. I’m old. I went to Walmart, did some laundry, ate too much food and took a nap.
