Steve, Anneta and C. D., your Mom will be so greatly missed by many friends and family. She was a great example of what a sweet and loving friend should be. I always got hugs and pictures taken each time I went back home to Osceola and visited her at her grocery store. My heart grieves for your family.
C.D. and family, we are so sorry for your loss. You'll all be in our prayers. Yogi Tarver and family.
So sorry to hear of Mrs Heaton passing she will be truly missed.She was close to our family and a dear friend.
Mrs. Heaton was a faithful member of First Baptist Church,Osceola. I once taught her a course in computers. She applied herself to that as well as her faithfulness of my sunday school class. She will always be remembered and missed. God bless all the family.
A good friend for many years . Sorry to hear of her loss
We send our thoughts and love to you from Trussville, Alabama. Aunt Louise was very special to us. May God bless you as your pay your final respects to such a special lady.
Mrs. Louise Heaton will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her. She had such a sweet spirit about her always. I will always remember her at the grocery store, talking to me as a child and selling me penny candy. She had a nickname for me "Book-keeper" because I was always with my dad, he was a mechanic and I pretended I was his secretary. Good times and good memories.
Praying for all of Mrs. H's family. Know that she was loved by a lot of people and touched so many.
We always looked forward to seeing Louise at our Class of 1949 Reunions. She wasalways so helpful in arranging these.
We will always remember our 60 plus years of Friendship.
I was so sorry to hear about her passing. I will miss our talks together. She will be missed. Calvin
