DELMA HOGAN MASSEY

Mrs. Delma Hogan Massey was born on March 2, 1929 and departed for heaven on 
January 7, 2016. Funeral services will be held on Sunday, January 10, 2016 at 
2pm at Edmonds Funeral Home in Jonesboro. Officiating will be Bro. Paul Cayce 
and Bro. Cole Permenter. Interment will follow in the Ebenezer Cemetery in 
Jonesboro. Visitation will be held on Sunday, January 10, 2016 from 1 until 
funeral time at 2, at Edmonds Funeral Home.

"Miss Delma" was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, 
and dear friend. She was not always outwardly demonstrative with her affection, 
but she did let people know she loved them with her quick wit and a twinkle in 
her eye. She was known and loved for her famous chicken 'n dumplings, chocolate 
sheet cake, and homemade tea cakes. Her door was never locked and she welcomed 
all to her table, which always seemed full of delicious meals made "from 
scratch" with loving, hands and a generous heart. Mrs. Massey was devoted to 
her family, her church, and her community. Adored by her grandchildren and 
great-grands, she remained their greatest fan until the end. She enjoyed 
watching sports and followed the activities of her family with fierce loyalty. 
If Miss Delma was your friend, she was your friend for life. Her friends and 
loved ones will remember her for the beautiful greeting cards she would send on 
every occasion, or sometimes "just because," which usually included a warm 
handwritten note of love. Mrs. Massey and her husband Huey, who predeceased 
her, were devoted to their church and were the cornerstone of every church 
association meeting, fellowship lunch (usually with her homemade dumplings at 
the head of the serving table), or celebration of any kind. She abided in her 
strong Christian faith, and her love of her Lord was unwavering. Heaven is 
truly blessed to welcome a new angel today. The friends and family who 
predeceased her are surely rejoicing to welcome her home.

Survivors include, one daughter, Kitten Statham and husband Butch of West 
Monroe, LA, one son, Eddie Massey of Kentson, N.C., one brother, Davis Hogan 
and wife Linda of Weston, LA, her sister-In-Law, Kay Hogan of Weston, LA, six
