Virginia Ann Cothran

Love is patient, love is kind… Virginia Ann Sisk Cothran was patient, kind and caring lady who was independent and served others before herself. Her husband described her as a “Super” wife and an angel. She was his whole life dating back to high school sweethearts and they were so well connected, they finished each other’s sentences. A match made in Heaven. A loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother who held everyone together. Virginia loved to have folks visit their house and she made sure everyone was fed as she never complained.

Virginia was the daughter of the late David Nathaniel Sisk and Rachel Lee Dalton Sisk. She was also preceded in death by three sisters and four brothers.

Loved ones left behind to cherish Virginia’s memories and carry on her legacy are her husband of 57 years, Drew “DJ” Cothran of Mount Holly, North Carolina; three daughters and sons in law: Teresa and Eric Giblin of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Shannon and Tony Van Dyke of Stanley, North Carolina, Melissa Ledford and Fiancé` Tony Brooks of Mount Holly, North Carolina; five grandchildren and spouse: Jacquine and Roy Siders of Hendersonville, Tennessee, Christopher Timberlake of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, JB Van Dyke of Stanley, North Carolina, Tyler Ledford and Selena Ledford both of Mount Holly, North Carolina; four great grandchildren: Bishop Siders, Julian Siders, Nolan Siders and Alaska Timberlake; sister: Betty Flack of Union Mills, North Carolina; brother and sister in law: Jerry and Gail Sisk of Mount Holly, North Carolina; two faithful companions: Sammy and Bella.
