ANN LOUISE FREEMAN PETERS

Ann Louise Freeman Peters passed from her earthly home to her heavenly home July 
28, 2014. Celebration of life services will be held at Fair Park Baptist Church 
Historic Chapel in West Monroe, LA on Saturday, August 2, 2014, at 10:00 AM with 
spiritual supporters and friends officiating. Interment will be in the family 
plot at Central Baptist Church Cemetery in Wisner, LA under the direction of 
Kilpatrick Funeral Home, West Monroe. Visitation will be Friday, August 1, 2014 
from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Kilpatrick Funeral Home West Monroe, LA.

Ann was born May 9, 1939 in Laurel, MS, the eldest of three daughters of E.E. 
and Louise Heimbach Freeman. She graduated from Winnsboro High School and 
Louisiana Tech University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. She married 
her lifelong love, James (Jim) Peters, on August 25, 1960.

She was an avid reader and lifelong learner and a passionate supporter of 
programs for the welfare of children. She felt privileged to be a homemaker and 
mother, and shared in the operation of her husband's business. Ann was a master 
of psychology of Jim and her family, and a doctor of psychology of her children.

Ann is preceded in death by her parents, E.E. and Louise Freeman of Winnsboro, 
LA. Those left behind to cherish her memory are her husband of fifty-four years, 
Jim Peters, and her three children, Krista Michele Brown Elayan and her husband 
Jamil, Eric Todd Peters and Kimberly Ann Peters Craft. She is also survived by 
sisters Kay Scott and husband Aaron of Winnsboro, and Sue Grace and husband Ted 
of Monroe.

Ann is also survived by three granddaughters and a grandson: Lauren Brown 
Strange and husband Brandon of New Orleans Baptist Seminary, Kaitlyn Brown, 
Amanda Brown, and Garnett Elayan of Athens, GA.

Ann has five nieces and a nephew: Lesley Holmes and husband Mike, David Scott 
and wife Jessica; Melanie Routon and husband Jay, Angela Fisher and husband 
Paul, Amanda Newman and husband Sam, Leigh Grainger and husband Brian. Ann was 
also blessed with numerous grand nieces and nephews.

Ann and her family resided in West Monroe, LA most of her life. She was deeply 
involved in anything regarding the welfare of her husband and children and a 
daily partner in the operation of Jim's business. As a longtime member of Fair 
Park Baptist Church, she worked with children when hers were young. Most 
recently, Ann was a member and teacher of the Magdalene Sunday School Class 
until health issues prevented her from continuing. Ann was a charter participant 
in Fair Park's Operation Christmas Child Program. She continuously supported
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
and Northeast Louisiana Food Bank. Ann's guiding principle of good stewardship 
of resources was based on Luke 16:10 "Whoever is faithful in very little is also 
faithful in much..."

Ann was a true southern lady who loved life, her family and friends. She loved 
waves on the beach, antebellum homes, bed and breakfasts and candlelit dinners. 
Flowers were her delight, and Jim filled her yard with them, especially her 
favorite yellow roses. She was known for her supply of get-well, birthday, 
anniversary and encouragement cards for the loving notes she sent friends and 
family.

Ann will be missed by everyone, especially her husband, Jim, as she was the 
"better half" of his life. He is sustained by the assurance that she is at home 
with her Heavenly Father, restored from the ravages of illness, and the faith 
that he will be with her again.

Donations may be made in Ann's honor to
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
, Northeast Louisiana Food Bank, Gideon's International Bible distribution, or 
the charity that is meaningful in your life.
