If you read Patsy’s blog http://pattypenny.blogspot.com/ , you know that yesterday she accidentally went to a funeral. Ya see, she was driving by the funeral home, saw a funeral was in progress, and thinking it was Virgil Morris’ funeral, she decided to stop and sign the guest book. Well, the surprise was on Patsy cause it was not Virgil Morris’ funeral. Someone asked on her blog if she signed the guest book anyway. Here in dirt road county, everybody usually knows everybody, so I thought it was likely the funeral Patsy dropped in on was for someone we all know.
I went over to Nelson Funeral Service website and had a look. It said
Laveta Conner
5:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. Friday, August 18, 2006 Nelson's Green Forest Chapel
10:00 A.M. Satuday, August 19, 2006 Nelson's Green Forest Chapel
LAVETA CONNER, a resident of Green Forest, Arkansas was born July 30, 1924 in the Farewell community of Carroll County a daughter of Charles Garland and Dora Laveda (Youngblood) Trantham. She departed this life Tuesday, August 15, 2006 in her home at the age of 82.
She was preceded in death by one son, Ron Disheroon, her parents, Garland and Dora Trantham; five brothers, Clinton, Bill, Ray, Onus and infant brother Wayne, four sisters, Alice, Marie, Myrtle, Irene.
___________________________________
Laveta Conner was one of Patsy’s long time friends. I think they worked together at Ocoma in Berryville in the 60’s and maybe even carpooled to work. Laveta was also our sister-in-law’s Aunt, as Richard’s wife is a daughter of Clinton Trantham. So, if you want to go to a funeral here, just go. We are all related by blood or marriage, if not through our ancestors then through our descendants. If, in the multitude of attendees, Laveta’s children saw Patsy, they recognized a life long friend of the family.
