Arvilla Irene Tillman

            Arvilla Irene Tillman, born Feb. 12, 1920, passed away on Monday, June 29, 2009.

            One of Jehovah's Witnesses since 1935, Arvilla was a familiar face to many, having been a Kingdom Proclaimer in her door-to-door ministry for 74 years, 34 of them in Franklin County.

            As a Christian, the ministry was foremost in her life. Out of her love for Jehovah God and her neighbors she wanted all to know about his purpose in restoring man to perfection on a paradise earth following His Great Day of Armageddon.

            Arvilla is survived by a niece living in Seattle and two sisters in Kansas.

            A memorial service will be held on Monday, July 6 at 7 p.m. at the Kingdom Hall, located at 2501 Bluff Rd, Apalachicola.

            All are invited.
