ALICE HOOD LOVE 

Kilpatrick Funeral Home Ruston, LA 

Mary Alice Hood Love, born September 9, 1935, quietly passed from life on this 
earth to eternal life in Heaven on Monday, July 13, 2009, at her home in 
Ruston. Funeral services will be held on Friday, July 17, at 10:00 A.M. at 
Cook Baptist Church in Ruston under the direction of Kilpatrick Funeral Home, 
officiated by Rev. Mike Holloway and Rev. Hugh Wallis. Burial will follow at 
the St. Rest Baptist Church Cemetery in Dubach. Visitation will be held 
Thursday evening from 5:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. in the sanctuary at Cook 
Baptist Church. Mrs. Love was a lifelong resident of Lincoln Parish. She spent 
many years assisting her husband in the family's residential construction 
business, serving as an officer of the corporation and interior decorator. She 
also worked as an assistant in the Ruston mayor's office for several years 
before retirement. As an active member of Cook Baptist Church, Mrs. Love sang 
in the Sanctuary Choir for many years, and assisted her husband, Don, with 
teaching a Sunday School class for International students and residents in the 
Ruston area. She also served on the church's hostess committee. Mrs. Love was 
a member of the Ruston Quota Club, an international service organization for 
professional women, and served a term as president of the local chapter. 
Floral arranging and photography were her hobbies, and Mrs. Love enjoyed 
baking for her friends. She loved to travel and was privileged to visit many 
different countries around the world during her life. She also loved music and 
served as church pianist at St. Rest Baptist Church earlier in her life. Even 
after disease claimed her memory, playing the piano was a favorite pastime and 
comfort to her. Most importantly she loved spending time with her family, 
cooking and sharing meals, and laughing together. Mrs. Love is preceded in 
death by her parents, John Lee Hood and Mary Katherine Hood, and one sister, 
Irene Hood Fallin. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Don Wayland 
Love; son Dennis W. Love and wife Brandi of Arlington, TX; daughter Kaye Love
