Geraldine McIndoe Obituary

"Love is patient, love is kind…it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." I Corinthians 13: 4, 7. Geraldine Lewis Parsons McIndoe, 92, native of Amite County, Mississippi and resident of Baton Rouge, went to join her Lord and all her beloved family and friends in Heaven on July 23, 2013. Born March 20, 1921, she was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and sister. Geraldine loved God, family, friends and church. She was a natural born caregiver with so many talents. Geraldine could sew beautifully almost anything imaginable, including dolls, wedding dresses and quilts. As a member of Florida Boulevard Baptist Church, Geraldine enjoyed being very active in church functions. She taught children in Sunday School and Bible School. In later years, she was a member of the Esther Sunday School Class. Geraldine treasured the time with her close friends playing cards. With her 2nd husband, she traveled over most of the United States and much of Europe. She shared God's love freely with her family. Her great faith was built on a strong foundation of love and compassion, and she will be missed by so many. She was preceded in death by her parents, Isaac R. and Lois Branch Lewis; husband of 44 years, Dudley Lee Parsons Sr.; grandson, Joseph E. LeBlanc III; 2nd husband of 17 years, Robert R. "Mac" McIndoe; brothers, Russell Lewis, Ralph Lewis, Whitford Lewis and Robert Lewis; and sisters, Emogene Moak and Frances Young. Geraldine is survived by her daughters, Carolyn Parsons Wilson and husband W.O. (Bill), Peggy Parsons LeBlanc and husband Joseph, Jr., and Sandra Parsons Henderson and husband David; son, Dudley Lee Parsons Jr.; grandchildren, Sherry L. Wilson, Steve B. Wilson, Mark G. LeBlanc and wife Michelle, Jennifer Henderson Walker and husband Jeff, and Julie Henderson; great grandchildren, Sarah and Kate LeBlanc, and Grayson and Drew Walker; brother, Lynwood Lewis and wife Ernestine; and sisters-in-law, Delta Lewis and Evelyn Lewis. Also survived by Mac's children, Michael McIndoe and wife Tonia, and Patrice McIndoe; his grandchildren, Billie Folse-Lopez, Elizabeth Brunson and husband Jeremy, Lindy Wilkinson and husband Chad, and Dustin Ducote; and his great grandchildren, Wyatt Brunson, Jace Johnson and Kade Ducote. Visitation will begin at 10:30 am, Saturday, July 27, 2013 at Florida Boulevard Baptist Church, 10915 Florida Blvd, and will continue until the funeral service at 12:00 pm. Interment will follow at Greenoaks Memorial Park in Baton Rouge. The family would like to thank the sweet God-sent sitters, Janice Ramirez, Janet Channell, Deaser Ike and Melanie Cooke for their loving care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Landau and I have such fond memories of Aunt Geraldine and Uncle Dudley. His Mom and Dad had such a wonderful time when they visited.
Aunt Geraldine was such a lovely lady and I know she will be greatly
missed. We extend our sincere sympathy and pray that God will be with you during this time. Her obituary begins with our favorite scripture.
