She lived most of her adult life in Bossier City where she worked at Barksdale Air Force Base Clothing Sales and Ranchland Uniforms. She was a very skilled seamstress as well as a loyal and dedicated employee.
Mother was a very loving and caring person to all her family and friends. She loved to gather for family holidays, reunions and any occasion she could get us all together. She was an excellent cook and some of our fondest memories are her chicken and dumplings, homemade rolls and coconut pie.
A family visitation will be held Tuesday, June 9th at 10:00 AM with graveside services immediately following at Hill Crest Funeral Home and Cemetery in Haughton, LA. Brother Mike Wilkes, her grandson-in-law and Pastor of Whispering Pines Missionary Baptist Church in Minden, LA will be officiate the service. Honoring Mother as pallbearers will be her grandsons and great-grandsons.
The family would like to thank all who helped care for Mother and all who prayed for her and our family during this trying time.
