| 1719 | Obituary: Harry Knouse Henson December 29, 1942 ~ May 30, 2018 75 Years Old Harry K. Henson, 75, of Greensboro, NC, formerly of Tullos, Louisiana passed away peacefully Wednesday, May 30, 2018 at Hospice & Palliative Care of Greensboro's Beacon Place. A private celebration of his life will be held for the family Father's Day weekend. Everyone knew him as "Harry K," and also as Papaw, KK, Crow and Eureka. He was born to the union of Harry Henry Henson and Pauline Knouse Henson in Pleasant Hill, La. on December 29th, 1942. He and his family later moved to Jefferson, Texas where he lived until the age of 10. The family then moved to Urania, La. where he met the love of his life, at age 11. As a young teen, Harry K. enjoyed hiking and exploring the local dense forests and was in awe of the historical loblolly pines not far from his home. His love of nature extended to many years of white perch fishing. He loved the study of world history and government and was very accomplished in his knowledge of both. He zealously studied, understood and loved the Word of God and was always ready to share that understanding of the Bible. He unfailingly extended a hand of friendship and kindness to all who crossed his path. When Harry was young, his dream was to drive big trucks in which he ended up doing for his family business (H&K Industries) as well as for Missouri Pacific out of Houston, Texas. He graduated from LaSalle High School in Olla, Louisiana in 1961. One June 12, 1964, he married his childhood sweetheart, Patricia (Pat) Ann Babcock whom he referred to as "Trish." Harry K. worked for Cities Service Oil Company that later became Occidental Petroleum in 1982. Mr. Henson retired in 1998 and moved to Greensboro, NC to be near his children and grandchildren. Anyone who knew Harry K. knew his love and dedication to LSU football. One of his favorite past times was sharing a video of LSU legend Billy Cannon, a Baton Rouge native and 1959 LSU graduate, the winner of the 1959 Heisman Trophy as a halfback. The video features Cannon's most memorable performance his senior season of 1959 against Ole Miss. Top-ranked LSU trailed the third-ranked Rebels 3-0 early in the fourth quarter when Cannon fielded a punt at the LSU 11 and broke seven tackles on his way to a winning touchdown, as the Tigers won 7-3. The run helped cement the Heisman Trophy for Cannon in 1959 and led the Tigers to the 1958 national championship.

| 1730 | Obituary: Hayes P Jackson October 31, 1947 - July 10, 2015 Hayes Jackson was born on October 31, 1947 in Houston, Texas. Hayes left us to be with the Lord on July 10, 2015. Hayes was a loving and dedicated husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He had a blended family and loved each person with his whole heart. Family was his number one priority. It would not be unusual to walk into his home any given day and see that he and his wife Janet were hosting family members. Hayes would tell each person how they were his favorite and many even were called his princesses. Hayes' love extended outside the family. Actually his friends are family. Every Thanksgiving he and his wife Janet would host a houseful of people to give thanks and show their love with hospitality and, of course, good food. Halloween was always a favorite holiday full of family, friends, neighbors and, of course, always a "good" witch. It's always good to have your birthday honored. The easiest way to describe Hayes is that when he entered a room or your life you knew you had been blessed. He lights up a room with his wit and smile. A special note about Hayes is that he did occasionally misplace items. Anything from his precious hair brush to his car keys. We will have to leave it at that! Hayes loved horse racing. He dreamed of winning the Ruidosa All American. Hayes had black coffee in his reach at all times. Final Words: I know that if Hayes could address the audience he would thank you for being a part of his life and being here to celebrate it. Hayes leaves to cherish his memories, his loving wife of 16 years Janet Wiley Jackson; sons Phillip and Vince Jackson; daughters Tracy Denham, Jamie Overby, Stephanie Godbey, Christi McKnight and Rita Nisbet, and the apple of his eyes, 27 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by his parents Hayes Phillip Jackson, Sr. and Margie Faye Tomlin, sons Richard Hayes Jackson and Daniel Ray Houton; great-grandson Nathan Phillip Saldana. Pallbearers: grandsons, Brannon Jackson, Bailey Jackson, Bradley Barron, Dakota Olivier, nephew Jimmy James, son-in-law Richard Godbey, beloved friends Frank Ramon and C.W. Stout.

I will always be near - in your hearts and memory. Don't allow my passing to sadden your hearts. I am now with all my family and friends that have gone before me, and I will always be with you. I am at such peace that words can't describe. CROWLEY - "Betty" was born June 7, 1926, in Crowley, and resided there with her family all her life. She served the people of Acadia Parish working in the Tax Assessor's Office for 20-plus years. She was a graduate of St. Michael's High School.

Most of all, she was the very essence of love to all and the matriarch of our family. To say that she will be missed cannot describe our loss, but she made sure, through her photo albums, that we will always remember who she was and how deeply she loved each of us. God shared his love with us through Grandma. We will never forget her quick wit, infectious smile, and profound sense of compassion for all, nor will we forget her need to give nicknames to all of us or the neighbor's pets. She was many things, but most of all, to us, she was Grandma. She is preceded in death by her loving husband of 67 years, Oren P. Simon Sr.; her parents Justice James and Norma Landry Hoffman; son, Oren P. Simon Jr.; one sister, Gene Hoffman Carter; one brother, James Landry Hoffman; and granddaughter Robyn Simon.

| 1744 | Obituary: Held Friday For Loved Teacher Beautiful final tribute was paid to Myrtle Kennedy McBride, 69, loved retired educator, and member of one of Acadia's best-known families, during services held at the chapel of Gossen Funeral Home Friday morning at 10 a.m., with Rev. Jack Tanner, pastor of the First Baptist Church, officiating. Death came suddenly at 8:45 p.m. Wednesday night, Mrs. McBride being stricken while attending services at the Baptist Church. She was rushed to the Rayne-Branch Hospital for emergency aid, but failed to respond. Rev. Tanner provided a most comforting eulogy, reading the Twenty-Third Psalm and stressing hope of the Christian in the death and resurrection of Jesus. He told the family and friends assembled that death is a very real part of life, and while we are never ready for it, we can always be prepared to face this eventuality. Her role in the Church, the warm welcome which she and her sister, Miss Bertha Kennedy, always extended to visitors in their home, and her deep love for Jesus - were all a part of the tribute paid to her, and Rev. Tanner concluded with the thought that each individual's life preaches his or her own funeral service, and that she had made her "Peace with God, and was ready for her great journey".

| 1749 | Obituary: Helen Elaine Warren Baker July 17, 1925 - May 25, 2014 Helen Elaine Warren Baker, 89, passed away peacefully at her home in Midland, Texas, on May 25, 2014. Elaine was born July 17, 1925, in Houston, Texas, and grew up in College Station, where she was chosen Class Favorite her junior year at Texas A&M Consolidated High School. She graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School in Houston, where she played the bugle in the prestigious Scottish Brigade. Elaine was born into a remarkable family. Her mother, Inez German Warren, (our "Nana"), was orphaned at an early age, lost her husband during the Great Depression when Elaine turned 13, and took on the roles of father, mother, and breadwinner. Inez reared Elaine and her two brothers without help, and even sent her two sons to college. Elaine's brothers, David Russell "Jack" Warren, and Alton Lionel "Jerry" Warren, subsequently built brilliant careers-- Jack as an engineer/inventor for Welex/Halliburton before he passed away, and Jerry, who is a geophysicist in Houston. Elaine made excellent grades in school, but always was in trouble for talking in class. In January 1944, Elaine boarded a train to St. Louis, Missouri to wed Lillo Munger Baker. From there, Lillo was sent to Europe with the U.S. Army in World War II, and Elaine returned home to Houston. Lillo survived the Battle of the Bulge and returned to Texas. They moved to Midland in 1947, and joined the First Presbyterian Church, where she taught President George W. Bush in third-grade Sunday school. In 1968, they left Midland, and moved four times before returning 26 years later, renewing treasured, old friendships. Elaine served as a volunteer for Midland Memorial Hospital, Midland Community Theatre, and for various organizations in Temple, Texas. She was a charter member of the Midland Symphony Guild, on the Board of Directors for the Abilene Opera Association, and a member of Midland Opera Theatre. In Abilene, she delighted in helping with costume changes and repairs backstage at the Paramount Theatre in Abilene. Laughing was Elaine's favorite pastime. She was a wonderful, fun-loving mother who kept the family busy with songs, stories, games, contests and wacky experiments. She held turtle races in the sixties, in which snapping turtles Robert Richard, Dumb Ole' Guthrie and others competed for prizes. Once, she greeted formal dinner guests wearing a hillbilly hat and messy wig, and often danced with her chartreuse chicken puppet at parties. She would laugh and play with her children, and could outsmart them, too. On occasion, her son Greg tried to sneak out of the house, so she nailed the windows shut. Greg said he knew she had done it because of the crooked nails. Elaine's innocent one-liners were clever, including, "I can't sleep in the car unless I'm driving." On losing loved ones, she said, "I just wish we could all die at once." Recently, she talked about beautiful "G" Street Park, near their home on Storey St., "And it had good tadpoles, too!" After an appendectomy a few years ago, she claimed, "I had everything I was born with till they took out my appendix. I was kind of sorry to lose that. I wanted to be complete." She worked hard at keeping a beautiful lawn and garden, and sewed curtains and clothes like a professional. She was happiest in the company of her family--Greg, Beth and Charlie, daughter Beverly, who preceded her in death, and the dear friends and hallmates of Manor Park, aka "Mana Parka Epsilon." She is survived by her son, Greg Baker of Santa Fe, New Mexico; and daughter, Beth Qualia and husband Charlie of Midland, Texas. The family wishes to thank Brenda Dunn, Maria Adame, Mary Pena and Hospice of Midland for their excellent care. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a charitable donation to Big Brothers / Big Sisters of Midland, 714 W. Louisiana Ave., Midland, Texas 79701, New Direction Ministry, (founded by True-Lite Christian Fellowship), P.O. Box 1541, Midland, Texas 79702, or to The Aphasia Center, 5214 Thomason, Midland, Texas 79703. Private services will be held at First Presbyterian Church. In memory of Elaine's independent spirit and joyful life, family and friends will gather for a memorial dinner at Midland Country Club in the coming days.
