Aunt Vaughdeen was always so nice to me. So sorry for the loss.
I hope and pray that God will comfort her family during this difficult time.
Laurie and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. We never got to meet her but she must have been a wonderful lady
Yoo are in our thoughts and prayers.
She was a very nice person when I attended Ridgeview Baptist Church years ago. I loved her family. Can’t wait to see her again in heaven! ❤️
I was blessed to work with Vaughdeen at Southwestern Bell from 1979-1982, in the Fayetteville business office. She had the combination of a sweet spirit and strong managerial skills. We had a very fine team and produced outstanding results for our Company, ranking at or near the top in every measured category, such sales and customer service. She reminded me of my Mother, which is the best compliment I can offer.
She will be missed by all who knew her.
