She relocated to Alabama almost 15 years ago to live with her daughter and son-in-law. She died Sunday, Nov. 27, 2011, at UAB Medical Center, Birmingham, Ala. Tangipahoa Methodist Church, Tangipahoa, was her home church and she enjoyed being a part of their card and telephone ministry as both recipient and contributor. In her much younger days she was a devoted Sunday school teacher. She was employed by Pike Memorial Hospital in Kentwood from its opening until it closed. She is survived by her daughter, Emma Dean Rymer Ricks and her husband, Donald E. Ricks; grandson, James B. Ricks; two great-grandchildren, Hogan C. Ricks and Holland C. Ricks, all of Alabama. She was preceded in death by her husband, James DeLoy Rymer; parents, Frank Peavey and Nannie D. Hutchinson Peavey; and brother, Lawrence Peavey. In lieu of flowers and in keeping with her simple and practical lifestyle, the best tribute to her would be for those who would like to do something in her memory to simply send a card of encouragement to some sick, needy or discouraged person or even a perfectly healthy one who might like a nice surprise in hearing from a friend. Charity of choice would be The Gideons International. Visitation at Tangipahoa Methodist Church, Tangipahoa, Thursday, Dec. 1, from 9 a.m. until religious services at 11 a.m., conducted by the Rev. Kevin Smith, pastor. Interment in Tangipahoa Cemetery, Tangipahoa. Arrangements entrusted to McKneely Funeral Home, Kentwood.
