Cremation  arrangement  services for Mollie Langva, 86 of Kilgore are under direction of Rader Funeral Home in Kilgore, Texas. Mrs. Langva passed away on Saturday, March 23, 2013 in Kilgore.
Mollie Langva was born on Feb. 5, 1927 in Hamlin, Texas to the late William Royden Stitt and Maud Ellen Johnson. She was a bright and independent woman and lived many places in her life, from California to Tennessee. Mollie loved to travel, whether it was going to a flea market to find a great bargain or state to state. She always said that she inherited her dad’s itching feet. Mollie loved to seek out and learn and enjoy.
Mollie became one of the most Christian-like woman many had ever known; loving God and reading the Bible daily. She loved to teach Sunday school, teaching boys’ and girls’ class and the women’s adult classes later in life and she especially  loved the interaction. Her favorite charity was the Salvation Army for their good deeds to all people and she donated regularly.
She was a self-taught seamstress, starting on a treadle sewing machine. She sewed nearly everything from cotton sacks and curtains to wedding dresses. Later in life, she found she had a talent for painting. Her children, grandchildren, and friends proudly hang her pictures on the walls of their homes. Between painting and being an excellent seamstress, everyone benefited from her varied talents. Mollie lived life to the fullest and on her own terms.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Dusty Langva; two brothers and two sisters.
Mollie is survived by her daughters, Jean Stoner and husband Bob of Kilgore and Marti Haughey and husband Chip of Kilgore; son, J.R. Drennan and wife Alma of Kilgore; grandchildren, Michele Reeves, David Royden Drennan, Michael Stoner, Bernie Haughey, Robert Lynn Drennan, Marty Stoner, Sean Haughey, Eric Dustin Drennan and Anya Haughey; 20 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.
