September 1, 1934 — March 4, 2020
Venna Meryl Sullivent Maples went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday March 4th, 2020, with family by her side. A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday March 8th at 2 pm in the Edwards Funeral Home Chapel, 411 S Mulberry, Eastland with interment following in the Eastland City Cemetery.

Venna was born September 1st, 1934 in Nimrod, Texas to the parents of Hubert Elmer Sullivent and Agnes Elizabeth Thomas Sullivent. She attended school in Flatwood, Morton Valley and was a twirler for Eastland where she later graduated.
She married Jimmy Maples on May 23, 1970 in Eastland, TX and moved to White Sands Missile Range, NM where Jimmy later retired in 1972. After retirement they made their home in Eastland, where she was a house wife and later a Pastors wife at Carbon Christ Center for 34 years where they saw many come to the Lord. She enjoyed singing and worshiping the Lord with friends for many years. She was also an avid yard perfectionist with roses being her specialty. Her main goal was to keep each of her children in check with her expectations, which will be truly missed. One of her grandchildren described her Loving, caring, giving, a cornerstone stubborn (Thomas side I’m told), wife, mother, grandmother, and most important, a child of God.
