DOLORES "TORCHIE" ANN WHATLEY

BROWN-HOLLEY FUNERAL HOMES,

OAK GROVE, LA

Funeral services for Dolores "Torchie" Ann Whatley, age 64, will be held 2:00 
P.M. Sunday, November 30, 2008, at Forest High School Gym with Bro. David 
Shires, Rev. Mark Elliott, and Bro. Charles Fricke will officiate under the 
direction of Brown-Holley Funeral Home in Oak Grove.

Torchie Whatley was born on November 11, 1944 in Toledo, Ohio and passed away 
on November 26, 2008 in Delhi, LA after an 8 yr. courageous battle with cancer.

Mrs. Torchie was preceded in death by her parents, Ora Lee and Earnest Floyd 
Spann; father-in-law, Joe Whatley; brother, Dewayne Spann; brother, James 
Spann; and nephew, Kody Spann.

She loved her job dearly at Forest High School. She also loved every teacher, 
student and support worker there. She worked hard in the Relay for Life effort 
with many of her friends and family. She loved her time with the Red Hat 
Ladies: their travels, food, and card games. Most of all she loved God and her 
church family. She will be forever missed by her family and friends. Even 
after her earth life was over she wanted to continue to help people by 
donating her body for research. She always said if only one person benefited 
from it, then it was all worth it. She was and forever will be truly one of a 
kind.

She was a very caring, loving lady and will be missed by everyone. She is 
survived by husband, Joe of Pioneer, LA; son, Chris of Monroe; daughter, Tara 
Howington, husband, Mike and their anticipated child of Brandon, MS; step-son,
