Netta Stanford, 73 MILFORD - Netta Stanford, of Milford, formerly of Forney, Texas, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 25, 2008, at Delaware Hospice Center, surrounded by her family. She was 73. Mrs. Stanford was born in Flat Ridge, Va., the daughter of the late Walter and Jincy (Vaught) Sexton. She received her bachelors in theology from Twin Cities University, West Monroe, La. She was a homemaker. Mrs. Stanford married Rev.

She will be remembered as a warm and generous lady. Mrs. Stanford was a member of the Lighthouse Christian Center of Milford and of the United Pentecostal Church International. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Rev. Denver L. Stanford Jr. in 2007; and two brothers, Edsel and Carson Sexton. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Rev.
