Venita Jane Money

Venita was a Kansas native, long time resident of Canton, Ohio and Silvercreek, Georgia. Venita was a fulltime home maker while also working as a bus driver for Plain Local Schools in the 70s and 80s. Venita loved to keep busy with her skills doing cross stitching, crocheting, quilting, and gardening. Venita was the mother of 5 children. In addition, she was thought of as a 2nd mother by Betty Ryan (Canton, GA), Lonny (Cheryl) Lofland (Canton, OH), Cindy Archer (Louisville, OH) and Liz (Clint) Johnson (Silvercreek, GA), and many others who turned to her for help, advice and a hug.

Venita was preceded in death by: her husband of 55 years, John Money, Sr; her oldest son, Wallace (Karen) Money (N Canton, OH); her parents George “Bob” Lester Holt (Mercer County Missouri) & Margaret Erma Brown Holt (Liberal, KS) and siblings Harold Holt (Warner Robbins, GA), Barbara Mullins (Welda, KS), Warren Holt (Owensboro, KY).
