Laura Nell Guilott, devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, great-
grandmother, and great-great grandmother, died Oct. 13, 2011, at age 88. 

She was born in Tylertown, Miss., Nov. 30, 1922, but lived most of her life in 
St. Tammany Parish. She attended Lyon High School and was awarded silver and 
gold basketballs for her skills on the court, including a state championship. 
She was also a cheerleader.

After several years in Colombia, South America, she made Slidell her home in 
1971. She was a member of Evans Creek Baptist church for 77 years.

Most of us remember her for her spirit, her love of children, her wonderful 
skills in the kitchen, and her phenomenal work ethic. We were all amazed by her 
strength and stamina; she was still cutting her own grass at 88.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Dolan and Zella Fortenberry; her 
sister, Avis Wilson, and her husband Dudley. She is survived by her brother H. 
D. Fortenberry; her sons, Phil and Michael Guilott; her daughter, Carol Young; 
eight grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren.

Those who knew her loved her; many were inspired and touched by her; all will 
miss her.

Visitation will, from 6 - 9 p.m. today at Evans Creek Baptist Church. Doors of 
the church will open at noon Saturday with services at 2:30 p.m. Interment will 
be in the Evans Creek cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you make a donation in her memory 
to either the American Cancer Society or your favorite charity.
