attended school in Leesville where she was a 1958 graduate of LHS and, furthering her
education, attended N.S.U. where she majored and attained her Master’s degree in Education. She
taught math and english in Leesville and
then moved to New Orleans where she taught until her
retirement.
Loving her hometown, she moved back to Leesville and became involved in the LHS Alumni Association, the Leesville Mayors Women’s Commission where she was
instrumental in planting the pear trees along Hwy. 171 and flowers around Leesville.

joy was being a loving mother and grandmother.

of Leesville; step-
daughter and son-in-law: Michelle Romero Wheeler and husband Mike of Littleton, Colo.; sister and brother-in-law: Nancy and Sonny Berry of Leesville; grandson: Kyle Andrew Simmons of New Orleans,.
