The service is at 10:30 a.m. followed immediately with a reception and visitation in the Parish Hall. In lieu of flowers,make a donation in her name to the charity of your choice. Virginia was preceded in death by her parents and sisters, Mettie Pearl Young of Baton Rouge, and Hazel McAndrew of Baton Rouge and Pleasant Hill. Virginia is survived by her husband, Percy Curtis, of Minden; son, Trey Curtis and wife, Amy, of West Monroe; daughter, Kim Cockerham and husband, Stacy, of Winnfield; daughter, Amber Mumphrey and husband, Robert, of San Antonio, Texas, and brother, James Mc-Comic and wife, Sandy of Zwolle; granddaughters, Sydney and Saylor Curtis of West Monroe, and Paige Cockerham of Winnfield; and grandsons, Ty Murry of DeWitt, Arkansas, and Preston Mumphrey of San Antonio, Texas. There are a host of nieces and nephews that she held very dear, but two are special, Charlotte Tillman of Baton Rouge and Wade Sutton of New Orleans. The family wishes to say thank you to the staff of University Health Hospital in Shreveport. Mollie Virginia spent the last week of her life there, first in emergency surgery, then in Surgical ICU, and the last few hours on the sixth floor. The care she received could not have been better, not anywhere. There are far too many staff members to list, but special thanks to Dr. Rachel Cox and Nurse Mary Gay. May God be with all of you.
