SABINE COUNTY REPORTER 12 December 2001 Ava Toole

Lora Ava Woods Toole, 87, of Hemphill lost her battle with cancer Saturday morning, December 8, 2001 in Houston, with her family around her.

Ava was born in Broaddus on Nov. 9, 1914, and was a resident of Hemphill for more than 50 years.

She valued her ever-increasing number of friends and enjoyed playing bridge and any activity involving laughter. Practically her last words were "Laughter...I like." She was the heart of her family and will be missed forever.

A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, at the First Unite Methodist Church in Hemphill.

In lieu of flowers the family members request that donations be made to the Houston Hospice, 8811 Gaylord, Suite 100, Houston, Texas 77024-2923 or the charity of one's choice.
