A native of Mobile and a 1955 graduate of Vigor High School; she was a stay-at-home

Mom until her last child was in school; retiring after20 years from Orchard Elementary

School Cafeteria where she served as a Child Nutritional Specialist. Known by students

As “Miss Piggy” she always carried a coin purse in her pocket so no child would go

Without a hot lunch .She was of the Baptist faith, attending both Moffett Road and

Crawford Baptist Church.

Although she could be a harsh and a disciplinarian, she never lost her great sense of humor and would

never denied anyone of anything .Her home was always open and decorated for every holiday and her

Halloween parties were the well-remembered! At meal time you never knew how many feet would be

under her table on any given day. Her food was delicious, school functions were blessed by her

Cupcakes; and her birthday cakes were locally famous. Everyone in the neighborhood wanted

(And received) one. Food, room, bed, clothes and love were always given freely.

She nurtured and was lovingly fond of her "other" children, special “daughter” Josie Thrift Burnham,

Melissa Sullivan Griffin, Johnathan O’ Mary and Charlie Sheffield. Her special love for her Louisiana

Family of the Meynier’s

She left us with wonderful memories;

One especially that she never went anywhere without makeup, including the mailbox-

Slippers and bathrobe, perhaps, but never without the makeup. She will be missed by

Many, including the raccoons, possums, birds, squirrels, and strays that were fed daily.

Our family would like to thank the physicians and 5th floor staff off Providence Hospital

For the medical and compassionate attention shown to us. May Peace be with you.
