Mamie entered Heaven on May 12, 2010 and joined her Mother, Daddy, brother Tim, Foster Grandmother Vessie Clark, other relatives and friends in Celebration. Mamie was born October 13, 1944 in Livingston, Louisiana to Ozro Marion Vance and Lola (Parson) Vance Sterrett. She is survived by five siblings: Ann Wilson (Dale), Charles Vance (Karen), Tom Vance (Brenda), Elaine Hamlin (Mc) and Kathryn Vance. Mamie will always be remembered for her sweet smile and her strong will. She loved bright colors, music, chocolate, "The Young and Restless" and hats. A memorial to celebrate Mamie's life will be held at 2:30 p.m., Monday, May 17th at the Mexia State Supported Living Center, All Faith Chapel in Mexia. Mamie's family would like to thank the staff on the Martin Unit who helped her live her life on Earth with dignity, and added many daily kindnesses since 1963 that made her life full. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Mexia State Supported Living Center Community Relations Council, Box 1132, Mexia, TX. 76667 in Mamies name, would be cherished and used to help others.
