MEDRA JOHNSTON CARBONE

Funeral services for Medra Johnston Carbone, 90, of Shreveport, will be held 
at 11:00 A.M. Friday, May 2, 2014 at Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road 
with Rev. Tom Harrison officiating. Interment will follow at Mulhearn Memorial 
Park.

Mrs. Carbone was preceded in death by her husband Matthew Joseph "Monty" 
Carbone; her parents, Luther L. and Sarah Jane Johnston; two sisters, Una J. 
Nichols and Mavis J. Penn; five brothers, Charles Rayford Johnston, Clarence 
Johnston, Elton Johnston, L.V. Johnston, and R.L. Johnston; and nephews, Jimmy 
Johnston and Michael Johnston Penn.

Mrs. Carbone passed away quietly Monday, April 28, 2014, at Glen Retirement 
Village in Shreveport. She was born June 7, 1923 in Sikes, Louisiana. After 
graduating from Sikes High School in 1939, she completed nurses training in 
New Orleans and Monroe. She was employed by Schumpert Hospital in Shreveport, 
St. Francis Hospital in Monroe, and then by Dr. Henry Guerriero in his private 
practice. Mrs. Carbone worked as a nurse up until her marriage to her beloved 
husband Monty. Scottie proved to be a valuable asset in the operation of their 
business, Louisiana Machinery Co. They resided in Monroe and after retirement, 
maintained a dual residence in southern Florida. In April 2005, she relocated 
to the Glen Retirement Village in Shreveport where she enjoyed the company of 
many friends. Although her interests were many, her true love was her extended 
family. Through her generosity each of them received a gift every Christmas 
and many of them were assured a college education. She and Monty were members 
of the Bayou Desiard Country Club and Coral Ridge Golf Club where she and 
Monty enjoyed playing golf year round.

Survivors include two nieces Joy Lynn Porter, Jamie Biedenharn; eight nephews 
Billy Johnston, Clifford Johnston, Glenn Edward Johnston, Rayford Johnston, 
Richard Johnston, Roger Johnston, Chuck Penn, and Joey Johnston; and a number 
of great nieces and nephews.

Her nephews will serve as pallbearers.

Visitation will be held at 10:00 A.M. Friday prior to the service.

The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to her caregivers Dr. 
Craig Miller, Clara Cole, Jennifer Gilyard, Michelle Hamilton, Myiesha 
Gilyard; and to the staff and nurses of The Glen Retirement Village.

Memorials may be made to Louisiana Baptist Children's home or Shriner's 
Hospital for Children.
