Mrs. O'Leta Lowrey Eason

  Mrs. O'Leta Lowrey Eason died Thursday, February 13, at her
residence. Mrs. Eason, originally of Goldonna, La., has resided
in Many since 1936.

  Mrs. Eason was a charter member of the original United
Pentecostal Church in Many, since the early 1930's. She served
the church in many capacities over the years, such as Sunday
School Teacher, Youth Leader, Song Leader, and Ladies Auxiliary.

  Funeral services were held in the Many United Pentecostal
Church, Saturday, February 15. The service captured an array of
her life's service. In lieu of her pastor, Rev. C. J. Walea, who
was out of the country, Rev. Garland Simmons, assistant pastor,
organized and assisted in the service. Rev. James Stringer, Rev.
Titus Pruitt, and Rev. Howard Pennington, all of whom were her
Sunday School students as young men, offered bits of history of
her meaningful role as their teacher, and how it affected their
personal life. Rev. Lonnie Johnson of DeQuincy, and Rev. W. H.
Owens of Rosepine, spoke as former pastors, bringing forth words
of comfort to family and friends.

  Mrs. Betty Davis read "Just Let It Unfold", a favorite poem of
Mrs. Eason's. Mrs. Sandra White Sang "The Eastern Gate", and "One
Day at a Time".

  Mrs. Eason is survived by her husband of 56 years, Frank D.
Eason of Many. She had one daughter, Eva Jo Broussard, and
son-in-law, Jack A. Broussard of Pine Prairie. She had five
grandchildren, Amy, Danny, Morgan, Kristi, and Jeff of Pine
Prairie.

  Burial was in the Many Cemetery. Pallbearers were Billy White,
Willie White, Robert Snider, Stanley Cook, John Lane, and Greg
Stringer.
