Avis Louise VanTilburg, age 91, of Russellville, passed away on Saturday, February 04, 2023, at Terrace Manor Nursing Home.
Avis worked for years as a business manager, working in accounting and payroll in the Miami, Florida area. She was very stylish, put together, and classy lady. She loved her poodles, loved to garden, and grow vegetables. She loved to read, having read the complete Bible over 36 times. She was always reminding her sisters that she was the oldest sibling. Avis was the take charge type of woman, and everyone loved being around her. Even at the nursing home, she had a desk set up so she could be in charge and work.
She was preceded in death by her husband, William VanTillburg; parents, William Johnny and Eascie Flora Taylor; sisters, Clara Nell Lindsey, Ruby Newell; brother, L.Z. Taylor; and nephew, Bobby.
She leaves to cherish her memory, her sisters, Pat Taylor Campbell (Malcolm), Betty Quinn (Butch), Brenda Gail McRae (Terry); and nephews, Tony and Alan.
A private family service will be held and burial will be at Cedar Tree Cemetery.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff of Terrace Manor Nursing Home, for the love shown to her the last few years. A special thanks also to Bro. Keith Prince for your visits and prayers with her.
