Mrs. Voncille Lofton Calhoun
March 17, 1929 - March 20, 2021
Voncille Lofton Calhoun, 92, of Plant City, Florida, born in Brookhaven, Mississippi on March 17, 1929, went to be with our Lord and Savior on March 20, 2021. She served the Lord in many ways, alongside her husband, who served as Minister of Education at First Baptist Church Plant City. She was an elementary school teacher for over 40 years, retiring from Pinecrest Elementary. After retiring, she traveled all over the world with her “senior” friends from church. She was an avid reader, and loved learning, and she imparted her love for music to her family. Her life and enjoyment came from serving the Lord Jesus Christ in everything she did. Our loving mother and “Mawmaw” will live forever in our hearts and will be dearly missed. We rejoice through tears as we are assured that our loss is Heaven’s gain. She’s now re-united with her late husband, Rev. Oscar W. Calhoun, Jr; and daughter, Leeann Calhoun Champagne. She is survived by her children, Margaret Fenner, Mark Calhoun (Malinda), and son-in-law, Gregory Champagne; 9 grandchildren; and 7 great-grandchildren. A funeral service will be held Saturday, March 27 at 3:00 P.M. at Hopewell Funeral Home, 6005 South County Road 39, Plant City, where the family will receive friends beginning at 2:00 P.M. Graveside committal to follow at Hopewell Memorial Gardens, Plant City. Expressions of condolence at HopewellFuneral.com.
