She was affectionately known as Mimi to everyone, not just her grandchildren. Mimi grew up on a farm and loved gardening her entire life. Nothing pleased her more than to be in Illinois or Colorado with her grandchildren helping plant or harvest their gardens. She also loved to cook and no one could resist her famous home-made biscuits. Mimi dearly loved her family and especially her grandchildren. She held open arms to all that she met and loved everyone equally. Most importantly, she loved the Lord above all and served Him faithfully throughout her life. Visitation for family and friends will be held from 5:30 pm to 6:45 pm Thursday, October 15 at Boone Funeral Home, 2156 Airline Drive, Bossier City, LA 71111. The memorial service, officiated by Pastor Richard Watson of Harvest Fellowship and Pastors Mark and Laquita Briggs of River Park Church, will follow at 7 pm.

A heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful caregivers at Heritage Manor Nursing Home In Bossier City, LA, Southern Care Hospice and Promise Hospital. Special thanks to Mrs. Lori Bridges who provided loving care to Mimi.
