Miss Mamie Francis Pentecost

  Miss Mamie Francis Pentecost was born to John and Josie
Pentecost on August 4, 1912. She spent all of her 89 years living
at the old Pentecost home between Florien and Mt. Carmel, except
for her recent years in the nursing home. She went to her
heavenly home on April 1, 2002.

  Mamie was preceded in death by her parents and five brothers.
She leaves three sisters, Eula Smith of Many, Edna Wallace of
Converse, and Mary Burkett of Sabine Parish.

  Mamie was truly the most wonderful aunt that a host of nephews
and nieces, great and great-great, could have had. They all
adored her, and she returned all of their loving special ways.

  Mamie worked as Lunchroom Manager at Mt. Carmel School, and then
at Florien. She loved the children she fed, and years after her
retirement, many of them still talk about Miss Mamie's "good
cooking".

  Mamie spent most of her life serving others, and especially her
Lord. She taught children's Sunday School in her early years, and
adults later. She was the Pentecost Family Matriarch, and loved
by all.

  Funeral services for Miss Pentecost will be held on Wednesday,
April 3, at 2 p.m., at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, with the
Rev. Larry DeLoach, and the Rev. Billy Burkett officiating.
Burial will be at the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Florien.

  Warren Meadows, Many, La.
