It was a peaceful end to a life so full that it would take days and volumes to chronicle. She was a lady of rare dignity and grace who truly touched the lives of all she met and never met a stranger. The faithfulness of her friends was a testimony to the love she enjoyed and it buoyed her in her final days. Her love of family was boundless and her energy extraordinary. She had "things to do" right until the very end, working in her beloved garden and being with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, donations are requested to Hospice of Baton Rouge.
