Mrs. Stevens' life revolved around her children. She was a loving and devoted mother to all nine of her kids and is cherished by each. As a young person, she grew up in a rural community working on a farm and walking to school. She and her sisters loved to go to dances; her favorite dance was the two-step. She played basketball with her sisters at Champ Cooper Junior High and graduated from Hammond High School in Hammond , Louisiana. She got her first driver's license when she was in her sixties. After her children had moved from home and her husband had passed away, Mrs. Stevens worked as a sitter for the elderly for many years. She went through life always working to help others and is surely doing the same in Heaven. She never complained in life, nor in death; she was to her children and all who knew and loved her, fearless.
She will be missed every minute of every day by all who knew her. The statement echoed by each of her children is, "we love you, Mom!"
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 in the Johnson Funeral Home Chapel. Her son, Charles Stevens will officiate. Burial will be in Highland Memory Garden Cemetery. Visitation will be on Monday from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. and will continue on Tuesday from 8 a.m. until time of services.
