West. Mrs. Titus died November 26 at the age of 87. Following the service friends and family will celebrate her life at the home of her daughter, Gilda Williams. Mrs. Titus attended Valdosta State College for Women and married Theo Titus 111 on March 23, 1941. Following World War Two, they settled in Thomasville where she dedicated her life to raising their seven children and serving her family, faith, and community.
Her belief that life was to be lived by faith, with an open heart, led her to give freely and often to whomever God brought her way. She demonstrated her deep concern for children and persons with special needs throughout her long career as volunteer coordinator at Southwestern State Hospital where her love and skill enhanced healing and quality of life for thousands of patients. Prior to that she served children in her role of kindergarten teacher at St Thomas Episcopal Day School and as a head-start teacher. With her husband she shared the Thomasville-Thomas County Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Service Award in 2000 for their ?outstanding service, their unselfish interest and their significant contribution so generously displayed toward the improvement and promotion of our community.?
She was a foster Grandparent, a 4-H advisor, a member of the St. Thomas Church Altar Guild at and a long time member of the Woman?s Club. She also served on the board of directors for The Open door Adoption Agency.
During the ten years her husband served in the Georgia Legislature, she worked actively at his side nurturing the best interests of Thomas County. Her husband often joked ?She is the politician and I am the statesman.? She was chosen to coordinate activities for legislative spouses?know colloquially as ?The legisladies.? In a touching expression of bi-partisan affection, the couple received a standing ovation from both parties of The GA House of Representatives on the occasion of his retirement.
