While Mimi was our "Cajun Queen," her heart was as big as Texas. There are not enough glorious words to describe how loving she was. She was so hospitable and anyone who knew her was always welcome in her home. She could cook THE BEST gumbo and potato salad, and no one's homemade strawberry or chocolate cake could hold a candle next to hers. She enjoyed antiquing and going to Round Top, cooking, listening to cajun zydeco music, and spending time with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and extended family and friends. No matter what she was doing - whether it be picking up sticks in the yard or cooking - she was always humming and so full of joy. She made a career out of banking and when she retired, she devoted her time to helping and caring for her family. She also volunteered at Oak Bend in Richmond, where she truly enjoyed being of service to others.

Though our eyes are filled with tears as we say goodbye, our hearts are filled with the loving memories that were made throughout the years and the life lessons and Bible teachings that were instilled. Ida loved the Lord and her husband Glen above all else, and it leaves the family with a peaceful feeling knowing she is now in the presence of both. She will be remembered most for her kindness, willingness to help others, generosity, and loving, joyful spirit.

The family would like to thank Harbor Hospice for their loving care and concern, especially Travelle. And a special thank you to Brittnie & Lisa, for their around the clock care of our "Sha Bebe" in her last days.

Donations may be made in Ida's name to the Alzheimer's Association or The American Heart Association.
