Mollie "Doxie"

Vannada

Mollie "Doxie" Thornton VanNada, a resident of Ponchatoula who considered New Orleans her home, went to be with her Lord on Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at the age of 71.

Doxie was family oriented and loved unconditionally.  She was considered by her children to be a special light in their lives.  Most memories were made with music being played in the background.  Doxie was very giving and always willing to help someone in need, often putting others before herself.  She also had strong faith in her Lord.  Those two traits led her to become a registered nurse, a true Angel on Earth.

She will be forever remembered by her children, James VanNada, Kelly Whitlow and Chris Whitlow (Cassidy); granddaughter, Savannah Rae Whitlow; siblings, Mike Thornton, Brannon Williams and Myra Jones; mother-in-law, Ina Rae Whitlow; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She is reunited in Heaven with her husband, Chuck D. Whitlow; parents, Harvey and Virginia Thornton; and brother, Richard "Dick" Thornton.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2020 at Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church from 9:00 AM until funeral time.  A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 11:00 AM.  Interment will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery.

Rose Lynn Funeral Services is entrusted with handling her arrangements.
