VOSS, Mavis Elizabeth (Barton) Voss, 80, passed away Monday, July 5, 2010. Mrs. Voss was a native of Jasper, Florida where she resided until relocating to Jacksonville in 1942.

She took great joy in preparing large meals at the church until having to relinquish that over the past few years due to illness.

Barton; grandson, Robert D. Thomas; 2 granddaughters, Spring Marie Thomas and Rhoni Nicole Green. Survivors include her loving husband, Douglas L. Voss; 1 son, Robert C. Thomas; 6 daughters: Linda Matola (George), Sandra Rentfrow (Don), Mary Griffin (Doyle), Paige Savitz (Chris), Delane Johns, and Tammy Pate (Jud); 2 step-daughters, Carol Voss and Betty Voss; and 1 sister, Margaret Johnson (Jack). She was also blessed with 21 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren, along with many nieces, nephews and extended relatives, all of who she loved unconditionally. Additionally she raised her grandson, James Johnson and great granddaughter, Jessica Wilson. The grandsons will serve as pallbearers: David Wilson, Jr., Donald Rentfrow, Jr., Dustin Gamble, James Johnson, Christopher Green, Matthew Griffin, Ronnie Green and Cody Johns. Special thanks to Dr. Lawrence Solberg, Joyce Siler and staff of the Hematology-Oncology Department at Mayo Clinic for their care and treatment during the past several months. Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 PM Thursday, July 8, at Highlands United Methodist Church, with Pastor Joe Allinder officiating. Interment will be in Evergreen Cemetery. The family will receive friends one (1) hour prior to the service at the church. Arrangements by COREY-KERLIN FUNERAL HOME, 1426 Rowe Ave.
