Edith C. Lafargue

KEITHVILLE, LA -- Funeral services honoring the life of Edith C. Lafargue, 91, will be held Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at Rose-Neath Funeral Home, 2500 Southside Drive, Shreveport, LA 71118 at 12:00 p.m. with visitation beginning at 10:00 a.m. Officiating will be her pastor, Rev. Bob Moore.

Her adult life was so blessed by both her community family of Keithville in which she served as Postmaster, plus her church family at Community Bible Church. Her many contributions to society included being an activist in positive community affairs as well as dedicated involvement in her church, which included teaching in Sunday school and chairing Missions Outreach, among many other activities.

She was preceded in death by her adoring and devoted husband, Ashton J. Lafargue, for which she shares eternal love in Christ.

She is survived by her son, E. Ashton Lafargue; granddaughter, Ashley Lafargue; grandson, Jamie Gramling; sisters, Sylvia Downey and Mary Monk; and devoted cousin, Willie Lee Pearson.

While she had many close friends, one of the most dedicated, spanning several decades, is Dorothy Davis, who extended her never ending love and care until the very end.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Community Bible Church, Missions Outreach at 5996 Colquitt Road, Keithville, LA 71047.
