MILDRED SULLIVAN

Funeral services for Mildred Sullivan will be 10:30 am Saturday July 13, 2013 
in the chapel of Gill First National Funeral Home with Rev. Marion Collier 
officiating. Interment will follow in Providence Memorial Cemetery.

Ms. Mildred was born Thursday, June 2, 1927 in Sikes, LA to Mr. Lawrence B. and 
Mrs. Lula Mae Hatten-Talbert and passed from this life on Monday July 8, 2013 
following a courageous battle with cancer. 

Soon after Ms. Mildred's birth, her family moved to Swampers where she was 
taught hard working values and morals. She was baptized at Fish Bayou Baptist 
Church. Ms. Sullivan graduated from Crowville High School then moved to New 
Orleans, where she worked for Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation. Ms. 
Mildred moved back to Winnsboro and worked for Winnsboro Drug, then briefly for 
Northeast Louisiana Power Cooperative and the cotton classing office of 
Winnsboro. During this time she met and married her loving husband, Mr. James 
A. Sullivan on Valentine's Day 1947. For 33 years, she proudly served Franklin 
Parish as Deputy Tax Assessor under Mr. Willie Weems and Mr. J. W. Dean. She 
had an exceptionally close relationship with her family, co-workers and her 
many cherished friends. She had a deeply caring, delightful, yet humorous 
personality, and was well remembered by all who met her. Ms. Mildred was a 
remarkably strong woman who was also a community supporter, avid gardener, 
skilled fisherman, an accomplished seamstress and "get things done kind of 
lady". She loved spending time with her family, whether it be at Talbert Farm, 
the Lake Louis Camp, the J. K. Cowan "Dirt Pit", "Out at the Country" or on the 
beach at Cancun.

Ms. Mildred is preceded in death by her husband; her parents; two sisters Mrs. 
Hazel T. Cowan of Walker and Mrs. Grace Hayden of Alexandria.

Those left to cherish her memory include her daughter, Sherry Ann Martin; 
granddaughter, Miriam Ruth Martin; great-granddaughter Isabella Hendry Rose 
Wise; and son in law to be Gabriel Wise all of Shreveport; nieces Dorothy 
McBride, Ann Williams, Janice McKay, Frankie Kirkwood, Abbie Montgomery, Mary 
Hayden, Melissa Ardoin, Elizabeth Lavespere, Layla Grace Ardoin and Natasha 
Dominick; nephews Darwyn Williams, Russell Williams, Wesley Williams, John 
Hayden and Curtis Baxter, and a host of other relatives and friends.

Pallbearers include J. W. Dean, Donnie Emfinger, Gene Emfinger, John Hayden, 
Scott Perkins, James Ross, David Williams and Gabe Wise.

The family wishes to extend special thanks to Barbara Henry, James Ross, Agnes 
Russell, David Williams, and Mary Ann Collier, the Emfinger and Perkins 
families, the staff of Dr. Combetta and Home Care Resources for their loving 
care.
