JEAN BAZER WORD


Jean Bazer Word, born in Shreveport, LA on June 14, 1929, had a deep faith in 
the Lord Jesus and made her final journey home to be with him on June 16, 2015. 
A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at Broadmoor Baptist 
Church in the Memorial Chapel on June 18, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. Visitation will 
precede the service at 10:00 a.m. in the Parlor.

Jean graduated from Fair Park High School in Shreveport and attended Louisiana 
College, where she lettered playing tennis. While at L.C., Jean met the love of 
her life, James H. Word. They married after graduating from college and began 
their careers in the education field. Jean earned a Master's degree at 
Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. While studying there, they lived in 
married student housing, located in Tiger Stadium. Jean loved her LSU Tigers 
and followed every sport! Jean had a wonderful sense of joy and adventure which 
she instilled in her children through family camping and exploration of the 
wonders of the outdoors. In her later years, she and her treasured sister were 
inseparable. They spent many joyful hours together, turning even the mundane 
tasks of life into cherished memories. They both enjoyed talking and laughing 
with their friends as they played cards and ate her favorite food, dessert!

Jean was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Word. She is survived 
by her sister, Ethelene Harvey, of Shreveport, and by her three daughters and 
their families, Dr. Cathy Word-Allen and husband, Randy Allen, of Natchitoches, 
LA, Kerry Orozco-Word of Fort Collins, CO, and Lin Norman and husband, Mark, of 
Benton, LA. Grandchildren include Lauren Gough and husband, Casey, Ryan Lott 
and wife, Leigha, Alegra Orozco-Word, Mia Orozco-Word, Alex Orozco-Word, Julia 
Tims and husband, Luke, Brooke Humble and husband, Daniel, Chelsea Norman, 
Alisha Norman, Josiah Norman, and Ana Norman. Jean had eight great-
grandchildren, Charlotte and Harrison Gough, Dahlia Orozco-Word, Sophia and 
Anderson Tims, Max, Cayden, and Weston Humble. She is also survived by two 
nephews, Dr. Charles Harvey, Jr. and Dr. Ron Harvey.

Jean's family would like to thank the extraordinary staff of the Grace Home for 
their remarkable gifts of ministering to patients at the end of their lives, 
filling their final days with comfort and peace, while tirelessly loving and 
supporting the patients' families. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to
