Miss Luetta was one of the kindest and wonderful people I knew growing up. I was in the Girl's Auxiliary class she taught at Lexa Baptist. Great memories. She and Ray lived across the field from my parents. I am so saddened to hear she passed away. My condolences to the family.

I was blessed to share a lifelong friendship with Luetta. Memories abound of our mutual school and church activities, working at our first jobs, and going off to college together.
Her family was always the center of her world, and it was evident when she beamed with pride whenever she spoke of them. Long will her memory live in the hearts of those who knew her.
