Born on February 25,1936 in Pineville, Louisiana, she spent 54 beautiful years along- side the love of her life, Sonny! Together, they built a legacy of love most novelists could only dream to rival. Many road trips traveled, fish caught and gardens grown, but their most treasured adventure of all, was the family they built together. Granny, as most in our family affectionately call her, is the anchor everyone is tethered to. She lived a life of strength and assurance, a life of joy and simplicity, and her absence will be felt for years to come, by all those who had the honor of knowing and loving her.
She spent many years of her life dedicated to working as a Tumor Registrar in the Cancer center. In leu of flowers, the family would like you to honor her life’s work by sending donations to St Jude, where she herself donated for years.
