Death is the Gate to endless Joy,
Yet, we dread to enter there.
But if we live by Gods Command,
He will phase away all fear.
Mrs. Valarie Williams Tootle of Claxton, Georgia
departed this life on September 25, 2000 at Claxton Nursing
Home after an extended illness. She was one of eight
children born to the late Mr. Hampt and Maggie Mincey
Williams. She was the wife of Mr. Willie Tootle who preceded
her in death.
She joined First African Baptist Church and remained a
loyal and devoted member as long as her health permitted.
She was one of First A. B.s oldest members and served as
the Church Secretary/Treasurer for a number of years. She
was a member of the Missionary Society, Mt. Calvary
Missionary Association worker,,Pastors Aid Club and a loving
caretaker for small children.
Surviving to cherish fond memories are: a devoted sister,
Mrs. Mary Williams McDougal of Claxton, GA; an adopted
grandson, Mr. Ivory Johnson of Atlanta, GA; a sister-in-law,
Mrs. Vinnie Williams of Claxton, GA; several nieces and
nephews, cousins and other relatives and friends.
She was that rosebud who unfolded and unwined.
Touch by the frost, slowly she drooped
And lost her petals one at a time.
The memories of her still linger,
our hearts they will always fill.
But to God, shes still that beautiful rose
Before the frost, touched and kill.
