She was a graduate of ULM and became a dedicated, caring, and giving Elementary teacher in the Ouachita and Franklin Parish school systems for 30+ years. She believed that all children deserved happiness and she shared her kindness and love for children throughout her many years of teaching and beyond.

Jerry Simon and Bernard Simon, Sr. She is survived by her son, Doug Haye, daughter-in-law Lynn Haye and her grandchildren that she loved beyond words, Madison Haye and Michael Haye, all from Summit, MS; sister, Dena and husband Bobby LaBorde of Winnsboro,; brother, Lewis Simon and special friend Betty Blount, in addition to many precious family members and too many friends to count.
