Helen Jordan, Golden, Procell was born on December 24, 1936, to George Nathan Jordan and Elmas Emily Jordan in Welborn, Arkansas. She went to her heavenly home on November 29, 2023, and is now a part of that Great Cloud of Witnesses cheering us on. She was loved by her husband Rupert Procell who took excellent care of her, showing such love, tenderness, and patience. They were married for 55 years. She was also loved by her children Pamela Sweeney and husband Randy, Melody Coleman, and husband Kirk, Dawn Clark Gill and Wayne Procell. Her pride and joy were her 12 grandchildren, Jeremy, Jason, Aaron, Sarah, Brad, Jen, Chris, Kaydee, Kacie, Nicole, Mary Bay, Kyra, and 25 great-grandchildren. She had two sisters, Virginia Polk and Martha Smith; two brothers, Nathan Jordan and wife, Linda, and Jerry Jordan and many more loved ones. She was an avid crafter, and her Turkey pins will live on from one generation to the next. She was an example of overcoming the obstacles in this life with dignity and strength by holding on to God and not giving up. She became a nurse when she was 43 and worked at Schumpert Hospital for 18 years. She selflessly took care of her many patients. She also loved to travel and go on cruises. One of her favorite places was Destin, Florida where she would walk on the beach for miles, enjoying the beauty of her surroundings. She was an easygoing and compassionate woman who knew how to laugh and have fun but also enjoyed the peace and serenity of sitting in her backyard watching the birds eat the food she put out. It has even been said that she had the chubbiest little birds in town. She was taken from us a little at a time because of the insidious disease of Alzheimer’s. She is now whole and is seeing Jesus Face to face and there is a reunion going on with those who preceded her in death, her parent, George and Elmas Jordan; 1st husband, George Melbourne Golden; brother-in-law, Bob Polk; son-in-law, Catfish (Scotty) Gill and many more. Honoring Helen as pallbearers are Jeremy Garrett, Jason Sweeney, Aaron Sweeney, Trien Lien, Jeff Robinson, Regan Murphy, and honorary pallbearer will be Lane Murphy for his "Paula". The family would also like to express special thanks to Dr. Alan Borne and the staff and nurses with Bristol Hospice along with their loving kindness as they cared for her. We are eternally grateful to Jessica, Chenita, Chastity, and Chaplain Randy Goudeau for the love and care they showed to Helen and our family. So, Until we meet again we will cherish the many memories we have. We love you and will miss you.Show more

November 28, 2023

A Memorial Service celebrating the life of Toni Trahan Shirley, 76, of Bossier City, Louisiana, will be held on Thursday, November 30, 2023, at Rose-Neath Funeral Home, 2201 Airline Drive, Bossier City, Louisiana, at 5:00 p. m.

Toni Trahan Shirley was born on November 6, 1947, to Albert Joseph Trahan Jr. and Ruby Clause Trahan, in Carencro, Louisiana, and passed away on Thursday, November 23, 2023, in Bossier City, Louisiana. Toni worked for the Federal Government for 38 years. She started her career at Barksdale Air Force Base and retired as the Assistant Chief of Human Resources of the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in 2007. She was highly regarded and received many outstanding performance awards during her career. She retired due to medical reasons that resulted in her being a dialysis patient for 20 years. She was quite an inspiration to many people because of the positive attitude she maintained during the many medical setbacks she faced. Toni loved visiting the beach when she could and keeping up with the lives of her family, friends, and former coworkers. She enjoyed playing Words With Friends and her Thursday outings with her buddy Marilyn. She knew her way around the kitchen and was often found dancing around to her Cajun music while making the roux for her famous gumbo. There was absolutely nothing more important to her than her family. She was a devoted wife to her high school sweetheart Bill. She was the biggest fan and supporter of her children and their spouses; however, nothing was more precious to her than her four grandchildren. The sole reason she fought so hard for so long was so her grandchildren would know her. She loved attending or hearing about all of their many sporting events and special activities. She loved with all her heart, and she will be deeply missed by the many people whose hearts and souls she touched throughout the course of her life. Toni Shirley was preceded in death by her parents, Albert Trahan Jr. and Ruby and Edward "Buddie" Trahan; siblings, Albert Trahan III, Kenneth Trahan and Judy Trahan. Left to cherish her memory is her loving spouse of 57 years Bill Shirley; son, Matthew Shirley and wife, Jennifer; daughter, Tiffany Timms and husband, Michael; grandchildren, Landon and Leah, who called her Gramma and Madison and Tanner who called her Mimzy; brother, Edward John Trahan Jr. and wife, Mia; sister, Debbie Wells; sisters-in-law, Linda Hargrave and Dawn Menard, along with many treasured nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends she thought of as family. The family suggests that memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital 501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105, or any charity of your choice.Show more
