On this day, March 31, 2011, Wilba Jean Jamison Toots Curtis, age 72, surrendered her mortal life in exchange for Eternal life to dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Amanda and Brandon Williams, great niece and great nephew, were more like grandchildren who spent their childhood with her. Toots and George were married on April 5, 1959.

Toots was a dedicated member of Asbury. She loved music and singing in the choir and she was kindergarten teacher in church for a number of years. She also served as a Den Mother for the boy scouts.
