Virgie Mae Brass' Obituary
To every thing there is a season, and time to every purpose under the heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time dance……
Virgie Mae Thomas Brass entered this earthly life March 25, 1920 in Brookhaven, Mississippi to her parents, Rosetta Humphries and Butler Thomas. In 1942, she moved to Louisiana.
She united with the First Zion Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend W. S. Robinson and later under Reverend Amos J. Griffin, where she served faithfully by attending Sunday School, serving on the Mission Board, and as Chairman of the Deaconess Board until her health failed her.
In her early life, she worked at the stave mill in Winnsboro. She became employed at Rogers Clinic and Hospital as a cook and worked there for 19 years and 6 months. She was later employed as a cook at Franklin Guest Home.
She was married to Levi Brass. She was preceded in death by her husband, son, baby daughter, and all of her siblings.
On Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2005, she had a debilitating stroke, and at her request, on December 9, 2005, she became a resident of Charlyn Rehabilitation Nursing Center, where she lived until her demise.
She departed this earthly life on Sunday, October 26, 2014 at 1:00 pm.
Love Lives On
Those we love are never really lost to us - we feel them in so many special ways-through friends they always cared about and dreams they left behind, in beauty that they added to our days... in words of wisdom we still carry with us and memories that never will be gone... Those we love are never really lost to us - For everywhere their special love lives on.—A. Bradley
Her wisdom and fond memories will be cherished by: Daughters—Bessie Louise (Eddie) Crockett, Winnsboro, Louisiana; Audrey Lena Wilson, Indianapolis, Indiana; Ella Mae (Walter) Washington, Winnsboro, Louisiana. Four granddaughters—Gilda (John) Singleton, Las Vegas, Nevada; Lillie (Lugean) Singleton, El Paso, Texas; Cynthia (Ronald) Benson and Karin Gray, Indianapolis, Indiana; Ten (10) great-grandchildren
A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time dance……
