Mrs. Tougaw was a life-long member of the Havana Assembly of God Church, where she served faithfully. She was a mighty prayer warrior, praying by name for family and friends each night before bedtime. She, and her husband Orville, ministered through nursing home, hospital, and home visitation for many years. Mrs. Tougaw was an active member of Havana EH Club. She loved baking cakes and pies for EH scholarship fundraiser bake sales. Cooking for her family brought her much enjoyment. Family get-togethers always involved a huge meal! Family members remember with fondness her fried chicken, and the many desserts she loved to bake.

Visitation will be from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Sunday, January 2, at Havana Assembly of God Church.
