  Services will be held Wednesday, May 28, at the Church of Jesus
Christ House of Prayer on Prospect Road.

  The Lord is my shepherd; and I shall not want. He maketh me lie
down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Ye, tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort
me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runeth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

  We loved her, but Jesus loved her best. He called her in, out of
her home, to live with him on Friday, May 23, at the Sabine
Medical Center.

  She was born September 23, 1948, to Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Carheel.
She joined the church at an early age, and here she remained a
faithful servant until the end.

  Mrs. Johnnie Maxie left to mourn, her loving husband, Jimmy
Maxie; her mother, Laura Mae Samuel of Shreveport; her father
preceded her in death, Johnny Carheel; six brothers, Michael
Carheel, and Johnny B. Carheel, both of San Diego, Calif., Gary
Carheel of Many, Tommy Carheel of Zwolle, James White of Fisher,
Danny Carheel, who preceded her in death; four sisters, Gladys
Brazzle, and Jackie Wesson, both of DeRidder, Ruby Conway of
Virginia, Theresa Carheel of Shreveport, and Ellen Walker
preceded her in death.

  She had three children that will cherish her memories forever,
Gabriel Carheel of Shreveport, Tawana Gray-Garner of Fisher,
Robert Gray, Sylvester Maxie, and Stephen Maxie. She also left 10
grandchildren that will also miss her dearly; and a host of
cousins, niece, and nephews.
