she served her Lord in a number of areas including singing in the choir, working with

hummingbirds.

love. Loved ones were by her side when she took her final breath. Therefore, there will
not be a Memorial Service. Memorial gifts can be given either to the 1st Baptist Church
in Covington, LA or 1st Baptist Church Kenner, LA to continue the work of her Lord and
