TOLLIE VOLENTINE

On the morning of June 23, 2014 at 11:20, Captain Tollie Volentine, age 75, 
crossed over the Jordan River to reach his eternal Heavenly destination.

Tollie Tillman Volentine was born in Holum, LA on August 3, 1938 to the union of 
James Perry Volentine and Lucy Day Volentine and he passed away there also. 
Holum was his home his entire life.

became his home away from home for 47 years. He was preceded in death by his 
father: James Perry Volentine; mother: Lucy Day Volentine; three brothers: James 
Rayford Volentine, Frankie Mahlon Volentine, and Eldridge Preston Volentine.

He is survived by his loving caring wife of 57 years: Geraldine Cassels 
Volentine. The love they had for each other will never die. She cared for him 
during his lengthy illness and was at his bedside serenading him as he left this 
world. She released his hand as he was led away by the Master's hand. He is also 
survived by five children. They were all his pride and joy. He loved family and 
cherished each one of them. His daughters-in-law were like his very own angels.

Aaron Volentine and his wife, Donna; Hershel Dewayne Volentine and his wife, 
Debbie; Kurtis Tillman Volentine and his wife, Darla; two daughters: Tina Marie 
Volentine Brooks and her husband, Mike; Brandy Sue Volentine; He also leaves

were both special in their own way but he and Lucille had a brotherly-sisterly 
bond that could not be broken. Grandchildren: Heath Volentine and his wife, 
Paige; Brooks Volentine, Dustin Volentine and his wife, Amanda, Logan Volentine,
