CLARENDON MEMORIAL SERVICES- will be held at a later date. Pending at this time. PRIVATE BURIAL- was held at Claude Cemetery on Monday, September 18, 2006. “A LOST TREASURE”
Venita Crocker Mastin passed away on Saturday, September 16, at the age of 84 at her home in Clarendon, Texas. Venita was raised in a loving farm family in Godly, Texas. She had 4 sisters and one brother. As a young woman she moved to Dallas, Texas, married and raised 3 children. In her retirement years she moved to the Texas Panhandle. You may remember a silver- haired, blue eyed lady in a denim hat and red vest that could be seen at most garage sales for over 20 years. Few knew she was an accomplished free lance writer with many published novels, magazine articles, newspaper columns in “The Dallas Times Herald” and wrote jokes for Phyllis Diller and Hinny Youngman. She even appeared doing stand-up comedy in the “Amarillo Little Theater”. She also worked for Sears and a secretary for the Dallas County Agriculture Department. She always had a smile on her face and a scripture to share on Bible Prophecy. Being one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and sharing her knowledge of the bible was her favorite thing to do. So if you missed out on getting to know our mother you missed out on a real treasure. We love her and miss her. Survivors include her children, 2 daughters, Sharlee Snail of Closter, New Jersey, and Cherie Mastin of Oklahoma City; one son, David Mastin of Claude;
