Laura Culpepper

Laura Anthony Starr Culpepper, born March 12, 1924, passed away in Spartanburg, South Carolina on Thursday, March 13, 2014. She was the daughter of Frank and Ruth Starr, of Cordele, Georgia. She was the cherished and loving wife of the late Quincy Culpepper for 59 years. They made their home in Atlanta, Georgia where they raised their three children. Ann graduated from Georgia Women's College in 1946. Ann and Quincy were members of Oak Grove United Methodist Church where Ann volunteered with many charitable activities such as Meals on Wheels and also playing piano in Sunday School. Ann was a devoted daughter, wife, and mother of three children, who hold close the memory of her. Ann's children and their families are: Carol and John Reeves, John Emory, III; Andrea, Thomas, Abigail, and Vivian Vandervort; Marcia Culpepper Lynch, Anna Quinn Lynch; Agatha, Jamie, and Annabelle Rule; Mike, Susan, and Will Culpepper; Jessica, John, and Audrey Graham. She shared her love to not only her friends and family but to total strangers that crossed her path. She taught us graciousness, patience, care, and unconditional love. As she journeys on, we will let go, yet keep her forever in our souls.
