So sorry to learn of Marintha passing. She was a very sweet lady. Praying GOD will comfort the family.
Sincere Sympathy,
Eddie and Vetres Livengood
I grew up in Vass and all of us knew Miss Ossie and daughter Marintha. Both ladies as sweet as can be. Later on Marintha loved to bake and her husband would bring lots of goodies to prob. Most of the offices in Carthage and we always looked forward to what goodies were for purchase any day that he happened to come by. Well known and loved family and our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
