Edith D. Vincent Hanks
On Christmas Day, Dec. 25th, 2021 our sweet Mom, Edith (Dee) Hanks met Jesus with open arms.
Mom, 98, was born October 7, 1923, Orange Texas, third daughter of Ludger J. and Lena Moore Vincent.
Our Mom, our Grandma Dee, our sister , our Aunt Dee and the sweetest/most caring person is now a shining star watching over each of us.
Dee believed the ability to work was a gift, a gift she passed on to her children. She raised 8 children, while running a grocery store known to many as Dee's grocery in Orange Texas for 30+years. In 1969 she and Daddy moved to Starks Louisiana.
Dee had many talents, that included cooking, sewing, crocheting, gardening and wood working. But her passion was loving and doing for her children and grandchildren. Hosting holiday parties was her favorite thing to do. Making sure each one felt special.
Welcoming her to her heavenly home are her parents, sisters, Louise, Julie, Bernice and brother L. J. Vincent Jr. Her husband of 45 years Josh M. Hanks, daughter Rhonda Hanks Broomes. Son in law,Mike Verdine,daughter in law Laverne Hanks.
