Pallbearers will be Jeremy Thompson, Joshua Thompson, Daniel Thompson, Matthew Childers, Shain Picou, Chuck Dupuy, Matthew Wheat and Logan Wheat. To all who know her, she truly lived a servant heart always willing to go above and beyond. Rather it be to spoil one or many of her grandchildren or off on a mission trip cooking for SBC disaster workers. She loved living for the Lord and her family. The family is grateful and say “Thank you” to the staff of Compassus Hospice Care and Flannery Oaks Guest House for the excellent care of our mom. Please sign the online guestbook at
