The service were Wednesday, May 17 at First Baptist. Interment followed in the Central Louisiana Veterans Cemetery, Fort Polk, Louisiana.
Her last days were spent surrounded by a loving and grateful gathering of family and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, husband, Cecil Abbott; her siblings, infant Seawillow, Asa, twins Jack and Jean, Helen, and Curtis. Her children, Jimmy Don, Kayla, Donald, and Miriam. She leaves to treasure her memory her devoted husband; brother; children; two daughters; three sons; and one son-in-law. God granted her 93 years and her faithfulness to Him has been passed on to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. That count is at least 89 in number and over 100 when spouses are included. In addition to these, there is a huge number of cousins, nieces, nephews, and others connected to the family. That is a legacy. Grandsons will be honored to serve as pallbearers. As for her and dad, their love story was known far and wide. We as her family have been blessed by their loving commitment to one another for these nearly 40 years. The great news is how that we are not saying goodbye, just this: See you soon, just over in the Gloryland.
In lieu of flowers please consider a gift in her name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. A special link has been established:
