JOANNE DELONEY RAINEY

Funeral services for JoAnne Deloney Rainey, age 78, of Ruston will be held at 
4:00 PM Sunday, May 25, 2014 at Grace United Methodist Church in Ruston. 
Officiating the service will be Rev. Hulen Warren. Interment will follow at 
Salem Cemetery in Dubach under the direction of Kilpatrick Funeral Home in 
Ruston.

Mrs. Rainey was born at home in the Nobles Community of North Louisiana on 
October 18, 1935 and passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on May 23, 
2014. She married Lester Alfred Rainey in 1950. They shared 52 years together 
and raised two children. In addition to being a loving mother and grandmother, 
her career as a business manager at Lincoln General Hospital spanned nearly 40 
years. Retirement left her time to focus on what she loved most: her family and 
her church. She was a long time member of Grace United Methodist Church where 
she served on numerous committees, most notably: The Grace Quilters, The Finance 
Committee, and The Board of Trustees. She provided meals to grieving families, 
care to the sick, companionship to the elderly, and always reached out to those 
in need. She was a humble servant of the Lord and her generous spirit and 
unconditional love was evident in every aspect of her life. The positive impact 
she leaves on her family, friends, and community will be everlasting. She is 
preceded in death by her husband: L.A. Rainey, Jr; grandson: Andy Robinson, and 
six brothers and sisters.

Mrs. Rainey is survived by her children: Debbie Rainey Robinson and husband 
Modell of Ruston, and Gary Rainey also of Ruston; grandchildren: Jeff Robinson 
and his wife, Brooke; Anna Rainey, and Natalie DiPasquale; great grandchildren: 
Owen Robinson, Blake Robinson, Phoenix Robinson and Sydney Brown; sister: Judy 
Wasson of Welfare, TX, numerous nieces and nephews, and her beloved four legged 
companion, Gracie.

The family expresses a special thanks to Dr. Tom Morris, Dr. Tommy Smith, Dr. 
Billy Smith, the ICU staff and other caregivers at Northern Louisiana Medical 
Center in Ruston.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Grace United Methodist Church or 
Salem United Methodist Church.

Visitation will be held from 2:00 PM until service time (4:00 PM) on Sunday May 
25, 2014 at Grace United Methodist Church in Ruston.
