Loyce Rainey

February 11, 1938 ~ June 12, 2021

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8

She grew up in Baton Rouge, but moved to Denham Springs as a young girl. She loved to read, she was an excellent cook, she traveled extensively and particularly loved to cruise.
