Obituary for Irene G. Whitt (Gibbs)

Print
Mrs. Irene G. Whitt, age 88, entered eternal rest on Sunday, October 28, 2018 at Tioga Manor Nursing Home in Pineville, Louisiana. Services for Mrs. Whitt will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 30, 2018 in the Chapel of Gallagher Funeral Home, in Ball, Louisiana, with Reverend’s Leland Briggs, Bruce Maxwell and Raymond Roberts officiating. Burial will be in Forest Lawn Memorial Park under the direction of Gallagher Funeral Home, Ball, Louisiana
Visitation for Mrs. Whitt will be on Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at Gallagher Funeral Home, from noon until service time.

Mrs. Irene and her husband Jim were living in Kansas City, where Jim had moved to for work. Shortly thereafter Jim helped Don find a job there as well. Mrs. Irene had a two story white house with a swing on the front porch and they had a game room with a pool table and shelves filled with bowling trophies they had won. During the winter you would walk to their front step in the snow, go in to get warm and would find the smell of food cooking on the gas stove in the kitchen where Miss Irene would be hosting a nice hot meal for anyone to share.

Mrs. Irene treated people as if they were one of her own, for she always had such a kind soul and a big heart. She will always have a special place in our hearts.

She is preceded in death by her son, Donald Wayne Briggs.

Mrs. Whitt was a member of Bentley United Pentecostal Church and is survived by her brother, Carl D. Hodnett (Hilda) of North Carolina; a sister, Hazel Arlene Jowers (Otis) of Tioga; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
