Honorary pallbearers will be her sons-in-law and grandsons. She was a graduate of Baker High School and of LSU, where she was an active member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority, and majored in Home Economics. In 1958, she was selected to be Miss Louisiana Home Economics. Her life-long unwavering commitment to her deep religious convictions led her, after her marriage, to become a member of Plains Presbyterian Church, where she humbly pursued the service of her God and Savior as a Sunday School teacher and youth group leader for many years, and sang in the choir. Her 8 children and 37 Grands will forever memorialize her in their hearts as having set forth a matchless example for them to follow of the Christian’s call to service in the footsteps of their Lord. She constantly found her skills in home economics to be of necessitous use in her daily life, having to feed and clothe all those kids and provide for their daily comfort. She was interested in photography, traveling with her family, and interior design. She was an avid reader and a skilled seamstress, even having designed and sewn the dress she wore for her wedding. As both an occupation and as a joy, she was a superbly talented floral designer, working tirelessly until her eightieth year to bring beauty and grandeur to many a wedding, and on other special occasions. To those who knew her, especially her children, she was the ideal of a Southern Belle, always gently ready to remind her children to use their manners and to teach them the kinder side of the rules of proper etiquette, so that they might grow up to behave as Ladies and Gentlemen in every situation. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her, but never forgotten.
