Mabel Givens
SHREVEPORT, LA - A memorial Service will be held at 4:00 p.m., in the chapel of the Oaks of Louisiana on Saturday, March 23 for Mabel Givens, who passed away on March 18 at LifeCare, Willis Knighton Pierremont. Mabel, who was 95 yrs old, was born on August 26, 1917 in Gandy, Louisiana. She was preceded in death by parents, Dennis and Clara Sirman, son-in-law, David Hamilton, and husband of 70 years, Wayne Givens. Survivors are daughters Carol Hamilton, Marilyn Eiland & husband Barry, and son Tim Givens and Wife Lynne; 3 grandchildren, Barrow Hamilton, John Hamilton and Carey Givens, and 2 great grandchildren, Miley and David Hamilton.
Mabel was a graduate of Louisiana State Normal College, a 65 yr member of Broadmoor Methodist Church, the Couples Class, served as president of the United Methodist Women, was recently honored for her 50 year membership in the PEO sisterhood and did volunteer tutoring in the public schools. She and Wayne were charter members of East Ridge Country Club. They enjoyed many years of "RVing" with the Pelican Travelers Club in their motor home.
She had a strong faith, a wealth of friends and a loving family. Mabel had a wonderful positive attitude and a smile for all - she will truly be missed. The last years of her life were greatly enhanced by the Live Oak community- residents & staff.
The family would like to express our thanks to her caretakers in the North Pavilion at the Oaks. In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorials be made to Broadmoor United Methodist Church.

Dear Aunt Mabel, I am so sad and sorry to know that you have left us. I know that you were one of the sweetest and kindest ladies I ever knew. As a young girl you and Uncle Wayne welcomed me into your beautiful home when you had your nice gatherings for the Sirman clan reunions. Although I haven't seen you in many years, I stayed in touch about your well being and health through Barry and my children. I wish your family godspeed in their healing of losing their mother and friend. Sincerely, Frances Sirman Brown and family.
