Mimi worked as Texarkana College Nurses Admissions Secretary for many years. She was a member of First Baptist Church Moores Lane.
Mimi loved serving her family and the students of Texarkana College. She loved classic movies and having the company of her dogs by her side. She also had a great love of music. One of her favorite songs was "Run for the Roses" by Dan Fogelberg. The chorus states the following:
"And it's run for the roses, as fast as you can
Your fate is delivered, your moment's at hand
It's the chance of a lifetime, in a lifetime of chance
And it's high time you joined in the dance
It's high time you're joined in the dance"
Mimi has finished her run for the roses. She now joins in that great celestial dance with her loving Lord. May she rest in peace.
Memorials can be made to First Baptist Church Moores Lane.
