Annie Myers, age 86, passed away on Thursday, January 7, 2010 at the Christus St. Francis Cabrini Hospital. Ann attended Evergreen High School, where after she graduated she worked as a LPN at Cabrini Hospital for over 30 years. During this time she also enjoyed being a seamstress and taking care of animals, most of all, abandoned cats. She was always kind, caring, generous about helping people in need. But of all the things she loved the most, it was cooking. She loved to cook for her family friends. Ann passed on her traditional Cajun cooking recipes to her granddaughter to set up a cookery business in Liverpool, England. She also tailored her traditional recipes to a vegetarian version for her daughter. Her cooking can still be tasted today.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Telisma Edwina Ducote. She is survived by her daughter, Mickie Parr Bob Parr of Alexandria son, Michael Myers of Baton Rouge grandchildren, Toby Parr of Alexandria, Chenoa Paul Currey of Liverpool, England greatgrandchild, Elayna Currey of Liverpool, England. Pallbearers will include Michael Myers, Toby Parr, Brenner Marshall, Robert Busher, Bob Parr, Eric Marshall. She was also a member of the Prompt Succor Catholic Church in Alexandria.
The Family would like to thank Cabrini Hospice Dr. Kelly Letsinger.
Services and funeral arrangements are under the directions of Escude Funeral Home of Mansura.
