She was a longtime member of Lighthouse Baptist Church, Singing River Hospital Auxiliary and Rebecca (Oddfellows). She loved fishing, cooking, gardening, and most of all, her grandchildren.

Many memories have been made in the last 94 ½ years, too many to tell. He greatest traveling adventure has just begun. A reunion day awaits, as the last survivor of 8 children. along with her mom, dad and R.L., heaven just got sweeter.
She is survived by her children Dianne K. Crisman and husband Hank of Pascagoula, MS, Ricky Lee Kirkland of Pascagoula, MS and Michael L. Kirkland and his wife Patrice of Harvey, LA; grandchildren, Christopher A. and Thomas F. Crisman and many nieces, nephews and friends.
The family would like to express their gratitude to Hospice of Light and all the staff especially, Rhonda Deschesnes R.N., Nikki Pascley CNA and Bro. Brandon Rogers, MA, chaplain. You cared for her with sincerity, compassion and understanding.
