FRANK GARY ABBOTT -- News Star World, Feb 28, 2016
Frank Gary Abbott passed away suddenly Thursday evening, Feb 25th 2016, at his home in Houston, Texas, with his daughter and extended family at his side.
He was born on Jan 9, 1937 in Fort Necessity, Louisiana to Frank Edward Abbott and Anne Mae Thomas Abbott.
Frank spent most of his life in Monroe, Louisiana. Early on he was a barber with Mr. Toni Russell at a small shop on Desiard. After ten years and two girls were born, he changed careers and worked in many different aspects of construction and land development around Monroe, building levees, leveling land for streets, and concrete work for many businesses that are going strong today.
He was a member of the NorthsideRiding Club for many years and spent many Friday evenings trailering his girls to playdates. He loved animls, especially horses, dogs and sometimes goats!
Frank and his girls had a place in the country where he would eventually live. He loved the country life and being outdoors, He was a sportsman who enjoyed deer hunting, duck hunting, fishing and raising livestock. He had a knack for naming his pets, his last horse was named "Bobby Stewart" after the man who gave him the horse. That gives some insight to his personality and the "simple" man he was.
He retired from the construction business in 2009, leaving behind his favorite employess Lonzo Potter and Turk to find new opportunities. He became active in the West Monroe Baptist Church group to which he attented with his longtime friend, Mrs. Jesse Reeves, who was his dance partner as well on Friday night get togethers.
Frank moved to Houston five years ago to be close to his daughter, Renea Abbott. He battled dementia in his last years, but was a fighter, never letting it get the best of him. He traveled to South America regularly with Martha Prudencio and her family, enjoyed our country place in Round Top, Texas on weekends where his last days were spent before returning to Houston.
He is preceded in death by his parents Frank Edward Abbott and Anne Mae Abbott from Fort Necessity, Sister Annelle Abbott Renfrow from Monroe and daughter Joni Abbott who lived in New York City.
He is survived by daughter, C. Renea Abbott and her husband, Greg Manteris from Houston, Texas; Daughter Hope Abbott Mamula from Quantico, Virgina and her husband Trey Mamula; Brother-in-law Orville Renfrow from Monroe, Louisiana, as well as many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Martha Prudencio, Cindy Saravia and Nashling Reyes for the loving care provided over the years and going beyond to make his life completely normal never missing a chance to go to the country, church, basketball games, Mexican food buffets or even the grocery store to be out and around people. He was a people person and never met a stranger.
Lastly, I would like to thank Dr. Phong Nguyen for caring for dad while he was in Houston. At the end of his life, he was not on any medications but passed away suddenly from cardiac arrest, short and sweet like the person he was.
Bradshaw-Carter Funeral Home, Houston, TX.

Growing up, Dad loved the outdoors, horses and playing tennis. He graduated from Bastrop High in 1937 and later met his future wife, Dorothy Walters, while at Northeast Louisiana College in Monroe and married in 1943 while Dad was home on leave during the war; a marriage that would last 69 years until mom's death. As a young Lieutenant he was a B-24 bomber pilot between 1942- 1945 in the 2nd Air Division, 8th Army Air Corp, and 98th Bomber Squadron. He first flew out of North Africa until finally stationed in Norwich England where he flew 34 combat missions over Western Europe, including "D" Day. Amongst his numerous medals, including the Distinguished Flying Cross, Presidential and Air Forces Commendation medals, he qualified for France's Liberation medal, but never sought recognition. Like many of his generation, he rarely spoke of the war and what they went through. Only in his later years did he reveal stories of missions he'd carry with him forever. Dad eventually retired a Lt. Colonel from the Air Force Reserve, but stayed active at Barksdale in the Order of Daedalians.
After the war he and mom settled in Shreveport and lovingly raised four boys: Jimmy, David, Tommy and Mark. Dad had several passions…talking, playing tennis, quail hunting, talking, his family and the outdoors in general and not necessarily in that order. Did we mention talking? If it was quail season the dogs knew it and so did Dad. No telling how many pointers and setters we had over a period of about 70 years. There was always a dog or three in the backyard pen…..and bless her heart, mom put up with Dad and his dogs. If indeed there is a "dog heaven", they'll be waiting for him to whistle up and hit the fields. Till his late 80's, Dad could out walk any man that hunted with him, including his boys. He was an avid tennis player and was on the courts until he was 93. He played college tennis and won the state doubles championships late in his 40's and 50's. In his late 80's and early 90's, it was not unusual for Dad's playing partners and opponents to be 10-20 years younger.
Dad was the "S&H Green Stamp Man" for North LA., E. Texas, parts of Mississippi and Alabama. It contributed to his significant success that he had an easy way about meeting people, and his "gift for gab" was well known. Dad always had a story and could relate easily to just about anyone and he carried no airs. He was raised as a conservationist by his lumberman father and folks trusted him to respect their property. He appreciated this and would often "drop a few birds" off with the landowner on his way out.
Dad was a "gentleman" and committed to helping others. In his travels, he would come across families suffering difficult times. He would stop in occasionally on them with extra groceries and if there were kids, presents at Christmas. The impression of his giving and the gratefulness of those families has never left us. He was always involved in the community and gave his time to numerous charities. He was active with the Boy Scouts, youth athletic programs, The Food Bank and coordinated the Annual Ice Cream social for regional retirement homes for at least a decade. Oh, did we mention he liked ice cream almost as much as he liked to talk? If you ever talked with him, you might not believe it, but it's the truth. Dad was an incredible "networker". He called on friends and acquaintances in most of the retirement homes in the Shreveport area for years and was on the phone regularly checking to see how people were and who needed help.
Dad and Mom were devout Christians with a strong belief in Jesus Christ and they made sure their boys were raised in the Broadmoor United Methodist Church. He and Mom were very involved in the church for many years, both attending and leading Sunday school classes and youth programs.
Dad was preceded in death by his parents and by his loving wife, Dorothy Walters Adams. Dad was a loving "Gramps" to his daughter-in-laws, Phyllis and Ginger, grand-kids Kim, Ashley, Kara, Paul and Leah, as well as family additions Jamie, John, and Pedro. Great grandchildren included, Bryan, Sarah, Harrison, Ella, Knox and Sutton. As an only child he felt blessed to have his family and numerous friends, and we were so blessed to have him.
In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Broadmoor United Methodist Church, 3715 Youree Dr., Shreveport, LA 71105.

Services are under the direction of Cox Funeral Home of Oak Grove.
Mrs. Ainsworth passed away on Wednesday, Nov 11, 2015, at Cox Hospital in Branson, Missouri, from injuries she sustained in an automobile accident.
While struggling through challenging health issues the last few years, her life continued to reflect the glory and radiance of her Lord and Savior. She clung to her steadfast faith and was the epitome of gentleness and goodness even in the toughest of times.
Mrs. Della was an amazing lady of grace who lived a life of passion. Her passion priorities were determined by her relentless pursuit and understanding of biblical truth. The very principles that she faithfully taught in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School were also evidenced in her relationship with Jesus Christ, her marriage, her love for family, and her commitment to serving others.
Mrs. Della Jane's life was accentuated by sacrificial giving. Her dedication to assisting in worthwhile community endeavors, church projects, evangelistic missions, and the American Cancer Society was second to none. The unselfish manner in which she poured out her heart to serve and help those in need will never be questioned. Kindness and compassion toward others was simply her noble way of life.
Mrs. Della's love of music inspired many people through the years, as she served as music director and used her singing talent in worship. Her beautiful alto voice permeated the sanctuary, adding a special element of holy expression to the services.
And, oh did she love her family! If necessary, she would have laid down her life not only for her two boys, but her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She seemed to glow whenever they were around. Always loving on them in special ways, "Nana" provided for them in any way she could.
And then there's her husband, partner, best friend, and soul mate...Mr. Howard. Those two loved each other dearly! Her devotion to him was unquestionable. For 57 years, they loved, shared, laughed, cried, and walked through life together. Just the way we're encouraged to in scripture. Their commitment to a strong marriage and raising God-honoring children was clearly seen in Christ-like character and sacrificial love.
Mrs. Della Jane was a picture of a life well lived. A humble servant, and at the same time, our beauty queen. Her "Miss West Carroll" crown has now been replaced with an everlasting one. Well done Mamma!
II Timothy 4:7-8: I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day...and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Della is preceded in death by her father, Wallace "Pop" Edmonson; her mother, Ola O'Steen Edmonson; and brother, Wayne Edmonson.
She is survived by her husband, Howard Lee Ainsworth of Oak Grove, Louisiana; her son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Lee Ainsworth of Monroe, Louisiana; her son and daughter-in-law, Shelby and Carla Ainsworth of West Monroe, Louisiana; grandson and his wife, David and Miranda Ainsworth of Muscle Shoals, Alabama; grandson and his wife, Gene and Danielle Ainsworth of Monroe; grandson, Tyler Ainsworth of Columbia, South Carolina; granddaughter and her husband, Taylor and Blake Branch of Start, Louisiana; grandson, Zach Ainsworth of West Monroe; and 3 great grandchildren: Anna Brook Ainsworth, Abram Lee Ainsworth, and Harper Claire Ainsworth; brother, Ronnie Edmonson of Monroe; sister, Resa Wingfield of Athens, Texas; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers are: David Lee Ainsworth, Gene Ainsworth, Tyler Ainsworth, Zach Ainsworth, Blake Branch, Abram Ainsworth, and Will Hale.
Family will receive friends between the hours of 4 to 8 PM on Saturday, Nov 14, 2015 at Cox Funeral Home, 200 East Noble Street, Oak Grove, Louisiana.
Memorials may be made to Gideon's Camp 1709-2, P.O. Drawer 1189, Oak Grove, Louisiana 71263 or to the American Cancer Society.

Ms. Billie Alderman, known to so many as simply, Sister Billie, will always be remembered as a true and faithful servant of Jesus Christ. Her prayers were woven into every conversation and she truly prayed without ceasing.
A glimpse into her home revealed what was important to Billie and some of the many reasons we loved to visit- from her refrigerator covered with the names and pictures of those she prayed for daily, to her open Bible and reference books, and quite possibly, a fresh batch of mincemeat cookies or fruit preserves. Billie was also a member of Daughters of the American Revolution, and although unable to travel much in later years, she had a love and passion for missions. Her laugh was sweet and her hugs were plentiful. Both will be greatly missed.
So, remember Billie however you wish- as a mother, grandmother, Bible teacher, bus driver, missionary, neighbor, or friend. But more than this, remember that she loved the Lord with all her body, mind, and soul and she would want- more than anything- for you to love Him, too.

LYNNE LOUISE ALLEN -- News Star World, Dec 2020
Shreveport - Lynne Louise Allen passed away peacefully on Dec 26, 2020 surrounded by her family at her residence at Montclair Parc, after a brief battle with cancer. Lynne was born April 8, 1947 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but grew up in Monroe, Louisiana. She was preceded in death by her parents, William Timothy Allen II and Virginia Stephens Allen. She is survived by her sisters, Susan A. Robinson of Monroe and Virginia Medlin (and husband, Richard) of Katy, Texas, her brothers, William Timothy Allen III (and wife Moise) and Hubert Stephens Allen (and wife, Linda), both of Shreveport, as well as many nieces and nephews, whom she loved dearly.
After graduation from Louisiana Tech, Lynne embarked on a career as a passionate elementary school teacher, starting out in New Orleans before moving to Shreveport, where she taught at West Shreveport Elementary School. The final twenty-two years of her career were spent at South Highlands Elementary School where she left a legacy of being a tough and demanding taskmaster, but one who inspired great loyalty while driving her students to be the best they could be. Many of her students and their parents have expressed to her over the years what a major impact she had on their lives. She was proud of all of them and aspired to make them feel elite while building their self-esteem. Not an athlete herself, her class usually won Field Day after a reading of "Casey at the Bat" and her classic pep talk. One mother recently wrote her a sweet note and sent her a copy of a map and guide to "What you will learn" and "Things you will need to know to survive" Miss Allen's 4th grade class, written by her son, now 40, when he was in her class. Lynne brought it to Christmas dinner and shared it with her family. Another of her first South Highlands students sent an email which said Miss Allen "did not just educate us. She taught us manners, respect and kindness. I loved her."
Lynne retired from teaching in 2002, but soon after suffered a stroke. She fought back and through her strong will, learned to walk with a cane, drive a car, and live on her own for years before a series of falls left her in a wheelchair in assisted living. The family wishes to thank the staff and aides at Montclair Parc for all their assistance and kindness, especially this year after Lynne was hospitalized with COVID-19 and then struggled with esophagus and cancer issues after her return.
After receiving the diagnosis that she had terminal cancer two weeks before Christmas, Lynne demonstrated a tremendous resolve and upbeat spirit. Her only two wishes were to summon enough strength to attend the annual luncheon with her retired teacher friends and Christmas dinner with all her siblings. She accomplished both in extraordinary manner without complaint, a tribute to her high pain tolerance and determination. The day after Christmas, Lynne died peacefully in her bed and ascended to her heavenly home.
Due to COVID concerns, a private memorial graveside service will be held in Monroe, Louisiana, which will be officiated by her nephew The Reverend Morgan Allen, who is now an Episcopal priest in Boston.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to GREAT-Arc Caddo-Bossier, (an equine therapy program for handicapped citizens Lynne participated in) 7141 Greenwood-Springridge Road, Greenwood, Louisiana 71033, Louisiana Methodist Children's Home, 904 DeVille Lane, Ruston, Louisiana 71270, or a charity of your choice.

Alice West Spencer Altenberg, known variously to her loved ones as Linda, "Big Linda," and Ma, passed away peacefully in New Orleans on the morning of Friday, July 14, 2017.
She was born Oct 31, 1920 in New Orleans to Lewis Cass Spencer, M.D., and Alice Beatrice Smead Spencer. She married her beloved husband, Alfons Ralph Altenberg, M.D., in Ohio on Dec 4, 1948, and they spent the next 57 years raising their family together in Monroe, Louisiana. She and Al adored deep sea and marsh fishing almost as much as they adored one another, and enjoyed countless hours with family and friends on their boat, Délice. In addition to being the official captain of their boat, Mrs. Altenberg was also a registered nurse, a dedicated homemaker, and an avid, accomplished seamstress.
She is predeceased by her aforementioned parents and husband, as well as two sisters, Elizabeth Spencer Roach and Rowena Spencer, M.D.
She is survived by one sister, Sara Spencer of Monroe, Louisiana, stepson Alfons Robert Altenberg (Eileen) of Lexington, South Carolina; daughters Linda Altenberg Sins (Kurt) of New Orleans, and Rowena Altenberg Worley of Panama City Beach, Florida; grandchildren John D. Altenberg (Beth), of Lexington, South Carolina, Robert A. Altenberg, of Lexington, South Carolina, Catherine V. Evans (Jim) of Houston, Texas, Richard G. Verlander III, of New Orleans, Elizabeth P. Hickmott (David) of Dallas, Texas, and Anna P. Watts of Monroe, Louisiana. She is also survived by eight great-grandchildren.
With great fondness and admiration—and no shortage of laughter—Mrs. Altenberg's family and friends will remember her as the thoroughly unconventional woman she prided herself on being: A loving, devoted mother and grandmother who was, in equal proportion, a sassy, opinionated, colorful, and (often brutally) honest old dame. She will be dearly missed.
The family would like to thank the wonderful Mrs. Charlotte Marshall and the entire staffs of The Azaleas at Woldenberg Village and Compassus Hospice for the excellent and loving care they provided.
In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home of Monroe, Louisiana or the Methodist Children's Home of Ruston, Louisiana are preferred.

"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you."

John was born June 26, 1935, in Ansley, LA, the youngest of six children to Cleve and Lena Bell Anderson. He was educated in the public schools of Louisiana and attended Louisiana Technical College in Ruston on a track scholarship. He graduated from Louisiana Tech and began teaching and coaching basketball and track in Summerfield, LA and later at Stonewall. After experiencing the low pay of the teaching profession, John decided to change careers, and entered the life insurance business with a company in Oklahoma. After several successful years John decided to start his own insurance marketing company. In Nov of 1976, with the assistance of his wife Doyce, he organized and began the operation of Professional Marketing of America. PMA is one of America's great success stories, growing from an infant in 1976 to one of the largest insurance marketing organizations in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas and Florida. He was a hard worker and expected a tremendous amount of himself. He also had a magnetic personality to which people were naturally drawn, and he believed our only limits are those that we impose upon ourselves. Recognized for his ability, advice and judgment, he never gave up teaching, assisting many, young and old alike, to accomplish their goals and fulfill their dreams. John was a lifelong Baptist. An avid reader while his eyesight allowed, his hobbies included sports, travel and fishing. Throughout his life, John loved all sports and enjoyed a long time involvement in the athletic programs at both Northwestern State University and Louisiana Tech. John and Doyce traveled extensively. John especially loved Kona, on the big island of Hawaii, listening to the waves crashing onto the shore. He loved their condo in Santa Fe and so enjoyed burning pinion wood that upon leaving, he would have it shipped home. More recently, he enjoyed the condo in Hot Springs, going as often as possible. John loved trying new restaurants, but upon each return home, he realized he actually preferred Miss Annie's cooking over them all. John was an avid fisherman and loved his fishing buddies at Chandler's Camp and spent many hours fishing on Black Lake. John was always open to loading his plane with as many as possible, to take with him, always looking forward to the day he could return to Black Lake to stay. John had a wonderful sense of humor, was a loving husband and father, and will be dearly missed by his family and friends.

JEFFERY ALLEN ARMSTRONG -- News Star World, Nov 21, 2016

He was born in Monroe, Louisiana on Sep 18, 1956 to the late William "Bill" Talmage Armstrong and Mary Nell Wilkinson Armstrong. Jeff owned and operated Armstrong's Cricket Farm in Glennville, Georgia for 21 years after relocating from the West Monroe, Louisiana family farm where he worked since he was a teenager. After graduating from Woodward Academy in 1974, he obtained his bachelor's degree from Louisiana Tech in 1979.
Jeff was an active and generous giver to his community. Whether big or small, whatever the need was, he willingly provided. Jeff always had an open door policy and would happily give tours to the local schools and travelers passing through town. His zest for life and business was contagious and motivating to those around him. As a business man, he reaped much success from his hard work in expanding and growing Armstrong's Cricket Farm.

So much so, that he built a chicken coop for his granddaughters to collect eggs when they came to visit. Jeff's fun-loving personality made his family's life exciting. It wasn't uncommon for them to see their dad and Papa break into dance moves or sing a cajun tune. He loved family traditions and always made sure his children "believed" in the magic of Christmas.

It was always a matter of great pride that he would graduate from the college, where his grandfather was a member of the faculty.

Having been stationed for a year in South Korea, he concluded his service at Hamilton Air Base in Marin County, California. After discharge, he decided to remain in California and seek employment in his chosen field.
He moved to San Francisco in 1973 working for a time at an ice company and for the American Institute for Continuing Education. He then was employed by Callan and Associates, where he managed various money functions as an accountant before becoming Accounting Manager. He had only recently retired from this firm.
John was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Avis Armstrong of Monroe, and his paternal grandparents, Dalton G. Armstrong and Icy Webb Armstrong of Ruston, along with his maternal grandparents, Jasper Newton Tucker and Emma Futch Tucker of Farmerville.

CATHERINE ANN ASHCRAFT -- News Star World, July 03, 2009
Catherine Ann Ashcraft Smith, 76, of Pine Bluff, died Thursday, July 2, 2009 at Baptist Hospital in Little Rock.
She was born April 20, 1933 in Cleveland County, daughter of Don and Mabel Goggans Ashcraft.
Mrs. Smith was reared and received her early education in Rison, graduating from Rison High School. She earned her B.A. Degree from Arkansas A & M (now University of Arkansas at Monticello) and her Master's in Education from Ouachita Baptist University.
She taught school in Grapevine and at L.L. Owen Elementary in Watson Chapel for 40 years, retiring in 1994.
Mrs. Smith was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Henry J. Smith, whom she married April 4, 1953 in Rison.
Mrs. Smith enjoyed children and especially enjoyed watching them learn. She always said you haven't truly learned until you have taught someone else. Her students will remember her as strict but loving, and really hard. "No one can ever take away your education," she would say. She was a life long learner, as she was active in the Bible Study Fellowship at First Baptist Church of Pine Bluff at the time of her death. She enjoyed gardening vegetables and flowers and was a member of the Watson Chapel Garden Club. She also liked traveling with Henry all over the United States in her retirement years. Mrs. Smith moved to Trinity Village in 2005 and was Resident of the Month in March of this year. She was an avid St. Louis Cardinal fan and got to see her beloved Albert Pujols play at Busch Stadium for her last birthday. Nothing thrilled her more, however, than to watch her children and grandchildren play ball.
She was extremely devoted to her church, Salem Missionary Baptist Church, for over 50 years, and her marks are all over the church, inside and outside. Teaching Sunday School, playing the organ, serving on the building committee with Henry, and serving as church clerk were only the official capacities she held. She believed that we should be doers of the Word and not just hearers of the Word. Quoting scripture was a special way that she and Henry raised their children, and that continued until the day she died.
Survivors include her son, Dr. John Wayne Smith (Laura) of Hot Springs; three daughters, Lori Ann Johnson (Stan) of Pine Bluff, Lisa Catherine Bradley (Bill) of West Monroe, LA and Leslie Carol Williams (Billy) of White Hall; sister, Jane Cash Hankins of Pine Bluff; ten grandchildren, Melanie Smith, Melissa Smith, Drew Smith, Brad Johnson (Emily), Taylor Johnson, Natalie Johnson, Rachel Bradley, Rebecca Bradley, Micah Williams and Luke Williams; and three great-grandchildren, Becca, Gracie and Elam Johnson.
Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m., Saturday, July 4, 2009 at Salem Missionary Baptist Church with Reverend Howard Loetscher officiating. Burial will follow in Rowell Cemetery by Ralph Robinson & Son Funeral Directors. Visitation will be Friday evening from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Salem Missionary Baptist Church.

JANE ELLA NABORS ATCHISON -- News Star World, Sep 10, 2015
Jane Ella Nabors Atchison, age 74, died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, Sep 6, 2015.
Born Sep 24, 1940, in Meridian, Mississippi, to Verba Martha Anne Huey Nabors and Ben Frank Nabors, Jane attended Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Alabama, and graduated with a BA in French from Agnes Scott College in 1962. She married James William David Atchison in Birmingham, Alabama, on June 23, 1962.
Raising three children with enthusiasm and love came naturally to Jane. She and her family lived in Suffolk, England, Durham, North Carolina, and Greenville, South Carolina, before settling in Ruston, Louisiana, where she was an active volunteer and valued community member for 35 years. She was a member of the Medical Auxiliary and was instrumental in the founding of the Ruston Family YMCA.
Jane served as a substitute teacher at Ruston High School for several years. She then taught French at Simsboro High School in Simsboro, Louisiana, for 10 years, where she touched the lives of the young people in her classes. She also received a Master of Education in Counseling from Louisiana Tech University, and taught classes in "Active Parenting." After retiring from teaching, she worked as a docent at the Biedenharn Museum and Gardens in Monroe.
In 2011, Jane moved to Asheville, North Carolina, to live in Deerfield, an Episcopal retirement community. She felt that she had truly "come home" to her beloved mountains, and she looked forward to enjoying a new chapter in her life at the special community where she quickly made a home and many, many friends.
Jane's faith and church communities were a vital part of her life. She was an active member of Grace Episcopal Church in Monroe, Louisiana, for more than 30 years, singing in the choir, serving on the vestry, coordinating and helping sew needlepoint kneelers for the church, and taking on countless other roles. In Asheville, she joined All Souls Cathedral, where she was a member of the Cathedral Choir and a volunteer in the church office.
Jane will always be remembered as a beloved wife and mother, consummate friend, and truly exceptional grandmother. She had many passions, among them her animals, her woods and plants, and classical music. She cherished singing in choirs and ensembles wherever she lived, and she was a member of the Asheville Choral Society.
Jane's greatest joy, however, had to be travel. While a high school teacher, Jane planned and led educational trips for the American Council of International Studies, expanding the horizons of the many students and families she took abroad. Over the years, she not only traveled to all seven continents, but also re-visited many of them multiple times, with Africa being a favorite destination. Some of her more unique journeys included visits to India, Nepal, the Galapagos Islands, Iceland, Peru, China and the Antarctic Peninsula. Jane delighted in new adventures and in sharing her travels with friends, children and especially grandchildren, making invaluable memories that will never be forgotten.
Small in stature but with a huge personality, Jane was full of energy, curiosity, and fun.
Jane is survived by her husband of 53 years, Dr. David Atchison, children Heather, Laura Jane and Phillip, grandchildren Heather, Lily, Will and Hawkins, brother Ben Frank, nephew Benjamin and four-legged companions Starbuck and Tigger.
Memorial services will be held at Grace Episcopal Church in Monroe, Louisiana, on Saturday, Sep 12 at 10:00 a.m., and at All Souls Cathedral, Asheville, North Carolina, on Saturday, Sep 26 at 10:00 a.m.
Memorials may be made in Jane's name to Chimp Haven in Keithville, Louisiana, or to All Soul's Cathedral in Asheville, North Carolina.

ROBERT NEWTON AUBREY -- News Star World, Dec 19, 2012
Robert Newton Aubrey was born August 22, 1921 in El Paso, Texas. He died Dec 15, 2012.
Bob Aubrey served in the United States Navy as a dive bomber pilot during World War II in the Pacific Theatre. Lieutenant R. N. Aubrey flew from the decks of the United States aircraft carriers USS Hornet and USS Bunker Hill. He did not like to talk about combat, but he loved to talk about his Navy experiences, flying and his friends outside of war. He often joked that his work as a Navy flight instructor was far more dangerous than his combat roles. He worked for International Paper Company before and after the war.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Grace Galloway Aubrey and Robert Lee Aubrey, and Vikki Sims and Marjorie Nielsen, whom he regarded and treated as his family.
He is survived by Don Sims, Penny Sims, Mare' Sims Brennan, Steve Brennan, Madison, Blaine, and Barrie Brennan and Cole Sims, Paige Sims, Patton, Mollie, and Sarah Jane Sims.
He was affectionately known as "Daddy Bob" to many, including Earle Files, Jeffrey Morris, Lee Tugwell, Greg Garrett, James Scott Townsend and many more. He was a quiet, humble gentleman. He enjoyed horse racing, tennis and games of intellectual challenge. He loved science and throughout his life was filled with the fascination of the unknown. Daddy Bob was not religious, but he did not discount the beliefs of those who are.
Daddy Bob was to us a father, a grandfather, a great-grandfather, and a friend that all who had the honor of knowing him should thank our lucky stars.
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." Carl Sagan

WILLIAM ALLEN AYCOCK -- News Star World, Sep 27, 2015
With great sadness, we announce the passing away of William Allen (Billy) Aycock on Sep 8, 2015, following a brave attempt to recover from a spinal cord injury sustained in a fall in 2013. He was 64.
Billy, a resident of Lafayette, grew up in Monroe, LA, and graduated from Neville High School with the proud class of 1970. Billy attended Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe and Louisiana State University. He was a diehard and fervent Tiger's fan.
He truly loved his career in the petrochemical industry which spanned forty years. His employers included WKM Valve Company, Parker Industries, FIP Inc. and Drake Oilfield Supply. Billy was a supreme horseman, draftsman, and oil drilling tool inventor, but most of all a true friend to all who knew him. His great appreciation of music brought him to the dancehalls of South Louisiana, the Jazz Festival and many other venues. Billy went to great lengths throughout his lifetime to support a friend in need or to lend a hand to his Krewe.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William B. and Zelma Williams Aycock.
We will miss his great smile and gentle demeanor. We could always count on Billy to do the right thing. He never harmed a soul and sure helped a lot of people. The world could use more people like Billy Aycock.
As his final gesture of generosity, Billy donated his body to LSU Medical School of Science and his assets to St. Jude's Children Hospital. We miss and salute our dear friend.
A private memorial service and celebration will be held at a later date. Donations in his memory can be made to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
