    Vergie's Obituary provides a lot of detail about her life and family.  From this I first learned her mother's maiden name, Pittman.  Note also the spelling of Vergie's name.  I found it interesting that the obituary gives no middle name for Vergie.  I wonder if she did not have one.

    Vergie Dumond Denman McCollum

    Vergie Dumond Denman McCollum, 86, died June 21, 2006.

    She was born Dec. 27, 1919, in DeWitt to Curtis and Jacie Pittman Dumond. Her husband, Maurice McCollum, and her former husband, Al Denman of Stuttgart, preceded her in death.

    When she was 15, she moved to Stuttgart with her family. She graduated from Stuttgart High School the next year and remained a resident of the city until her death. She was a businesswoman and farmer and attended Arkansas A&M College in Monticello. During World War II, she worked as a bookkeeper for Walt Disney Studios in California and helped in the war effort as a munitions inspector for the Lone Star Ammunition Depot in Texarkana.

    Following the war, she was a bookkeeper for Rice Belt Butane and Enterprise Gas many years. She also owned and operated the Majestic Dress Shop.

    She eventually retired to farm life full-time and spent her remaining years traveling the world, visiting with family, and working with friends in the community. She loved to read and, after macular degeneration took her sight, she continued to read through the Arkansas Services for the Blind books on tape program and often listened to six-eight books a week.

    She was a life-long member of First United Methodist Church, the Mary John Circle, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Yoder Home Demonstration Club and the Daughters of the American Revolution.

    She is survived by her daughter, Allison Denman Holland of Little Rock; two granddaughters, Allison Brooks Fenner and her husband, Chad, and Anne Denman Holland; and one great grandson, Elijah Dean Fenner, of Austin, TX. Close family members are her sister, Mary Oliver, and her niece Karen Carnahan and her husband, Charles, of Stuttgart; nieces Lynne Siems and her husband, Curtis, and Brooks Holt and her husband, Dennis, of South Carolina; special friends John and Judy Conrad, and a host of great nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

    The funeral was held June 26 at First United Methodist Church in Stuttgart, with burial at Lone Tree Cemetery by Turpin Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to Macular Degeneration research, First United Methodist Church of Stuttgart, or to a charity of the donor’s choice.
