It may have seemed so sudden but God has always had the plan. On Sunday, September 20, 2020, at Our Lady of Lake Regional Center, in Baton Rogue LA, we didn't get to see you close your eyes, we didn't get to hear your last sigh, we only heard that you were gone and we didn't get to say goodbye. But, it was God's plan and we will see you again. 

Monica has gone home to join her son: Sharod Vaughn and her father: Charlie Vaughn who preceded her in death. She will be forever remembered by her mother: Altha "Jackie" Vaughn of Oxford MS; her children: Shaquita Vaughn and Shaquille Vaughn of Oxford MS and Rashad (Shynekwa) Vaughn of Chattanooga TN; her brothers: Calvin (Pam) Vaughn of Jackson MS, Edward (Lisa) Vaughn and Fernanda (Sandra) Vaughn both of Oxford MS; Vivian Brown, Carolyn Vaughn, and Kimiranda Vaughn all of Oxford MS, Melanie (Ronnie) Wilson of Horn Lake MS, Teretta Vaughn and Vonetta Vaughn both of Dallas TX. She also leaves seven loving grandchildren and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends, along with her god-sisters: Didra Bolton, Jackson MS, Lisa Richards, Oxford MS and Lesley Antoine-Hammond, Atlanta GA and her special friend: Michael Sanders Atlanta GA.
