Orleans to put her husband through medical school, later she taught at 
Louisiana Tech and was a dietician there for many years until she retired at 
age 79. She died with memories of the Great Depression, the Second World War, 
and the 59 cent button. She had many interests; current events, horse showing, 
cooking and sewing.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her former husband, and her nine 
siblings. She leaves to cherish her memory, her daughters Anne Everist Gleim
