JEANNE PATTERSON ARMSTRONG

Kilpatrick Funeral Home

Ruston, LA

A memorial service for the life of Gloria Jeanne Patterson Armstrong will be 
held at Trinity United Methodist Church of Ruston on Wednesday, February 18, 
2009 at 10:00 A.M. Rev. Rolly Walker and Rev. Andy Hurst will lead the service. 
Visitation with the family will be at Jeanne's home on Tuesday, February 17, 
2009 from 4:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.

Born in Bernice, LA on October 18, 1924, Jeanne passed away at Northern 
Louisiana Medical Center, Ruston, on February 15, 2009 following a brief 
illness.

Jeanne is an education graduate of Louisiana Tech and taught elementary school 
many years ago in Lake Charles, before she became a home maker for the rest of 
her life.

She leaves behind a loving family and many beloved old friends, some of whom go 
back to the time of her youth.

Jeanne was an avid Saints fan, animal lover, bridge player, and because of her 
special humor and warmth, along with her one-of-a-kind southern style, was 
quite the mixer. She will certainly be missed, but those who knew Jeanne are 
assured that for her, life was "simply marvelous."

Her family survivors include Billy Bob (canine); son: Dr. John Mills Armstrong, 
III and wife Jeanne Karen; grand children: Abigail Elaine Armstrong Simpkins 
and husband Aubrey, and Cody Justin Armstrong; great grandchildren: Eva 
Kathrann Simpkins, Tullie Jean Simpkins, and Bain Armstrong Simpkins; and many 
cherished nieces, nephews and cousins.

Jeanne is preceded in death by her husband John Mills Armstrong, Jr. parents: 
Charlie and Gertrude Rhodes Patterson; brothers: Rhodes A. Patterson and wife 
Norma, and James N. Patterson and wife Margie; and many aunts and uncles and 
cousins of the old Rhodes family of Spearsville, LA.

Though a simple memorial service, the family nevertheless wishes to recognize 
honorary pallbearers: Mayor John Perritt, Jimmy Mize, Mike Reed, Dr. 
Benji "Barney" Baugh, W. A. Jones, Billy James, Johnny Maxwell, Bill Patterson, 
Carl Johnson, Taylor Moore and Robert Temple.

The family's thanks go to the wonderful care of Ms. Bonnie Dunn and Ms. 
Waynette Samuels.

Memorials for Jeanne might include St. Jude Children's Hospital, 4- PAWS Rescue 
of Ruston, or the charity of your choice.
