Tillatoba News
By Patcie Deck
Love and sympathy is extended to the Dorothy Arnold Champion family of Ferriday, La. Dot passed away peacefully Sunday, February 23, with her husband, Sidney, by her side. Dot was originally from Oakland.
Love and sympathy to the Patricia “Pat” Craig family of Grenada. Pat and her late husband, Little Jack Craig, were residents of Tillatoba at one time. Pat was such a sweet person and will be solely missed by not only her family but also by everyone who knew her.
A birthday party for Andrew (Andy) Pullen was given at Cossar Park Saturday afternoon. Andrew is the son of Sam and Anna Pullen, and his big sister is Joanna Pullen. Two grandmothers, Terri Dukes Pullen and Loretta Jackson; great grandmothers Diane Vance, Elizabeth Pullen and Diane Dukes; and granddaddies John Jackson and Brother Harvey Vance attended. Diane said there was a lot of people there and she couldn’t remember all their names.
Andrew‘s favorite buddy, Waylon Dalton Dukes, Jr. and Waylon’s big sister, Haven Rose, couldn’t attend because of sickness. Andrew’s great grandparents, Billy and Nancy Chambers, weren’t feeling well enough to attend either. Billy and Nancy have been sick, so keep them in your prayers please.
Martha Box is teaching her big sister, Pat, how to make scrumptious cornbread and cream cheese breakfast rolls while she is here visiting and helping Martha.
Martha said she is healing after her surgery.
“Still spoiled by sisters and my brother, my kids and grands. Missing my up-and-at-em’ ability. But piddling about cleaning out old paperwork and other stuff,” Martha shared.
Martha has crocheting scarf after scarf and her sister, Patty, is going home with two.
Ginger, Phil, Ben and Melinda took a great home-cooked lunch over Sunday to Martha.
Martha has a doctor’s appointment Thursday and will known more then.
Martha also said she had a good visit Wednesday a week ago when coffee buddy Harvey came by and brought her favorite meal of chicken livers. She sent hugs to all of the coffee group. When Martha gets up and out, she will ask coffee group if Harvey did it right.
“A big thank-you to all you friends for your love and prayers!” Martha added.
Visitors at your writer’s house Sunday were Brad, Frankie and Bradley Holliday and daughter Donna, all from Grenada. Frankie brought up some homemade sour dough bread she had made and I had made chicken salad. Boy was it good on her bread! Frankie is a great cook!
