  2. Dorothy and Johnnie Lou and family,

    Your mom was such a loving and caring person. I enjoyed working with her for all those years at Anco. I think about her and Mr. Johnny every day since we live in the house they built and lived in with all those kitchen cabinets and drawers. Our prayers are with you as you mourn her passing.

  3. Avis hired me in 1971 to work at ANCO Ins. I will always be grateful to her for doing this as I had four children to support. She was a great person to work under, and I worked there for 24+ years. I always knew where she was in the building, because of her lucious perfume that she wore. I am so sorry that I couldn’t be with you all today, but I had a conflict with my schedule. God’s blessings to all her family. We all know where she is, because he faith was obvious. She lived it!
