Frances LaVerne McClung McCuller

SHREVEPORT, LA -- Graveside services for Frances LaVerne McClung McCuller, 76, will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, August 14, 2011 at Weldon Baptist Church Cemetery in Weldon, LA. Officiating will be Rev. Trey Lewis. The family will receive friends at Kilpatrick's Rose-Neath Funeral Home, Southside, Saturday August 13, 2011 from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m.

LaVerne was born on March 4, 1935 to William Chester and Mandyree Lee McClung in the Community of Weldon, LA and passed away in Shreveport, LA on August 11, 2011 due to complications from Colon Cancer.

She had a strong faith in her Lord and Savior and believed that all things were possible through Christ. She also had a soft spot for all animals, especially those abandoned. If you would like to make a donation, please do so to either the Humane Society or Pet Savers in her name. She would be most appreciative.

LaVerne is preceded in death by her parents, the love of her life for 57 years, her husband, James P. McCuller on August 15, 2009 and her sister-in-law, Alta Mae Jones.
