MAYO, VERNA DEL MARIE JOINER 
She was dearly beloved by all who knew her. At age 78, she died Tuesday,
Dec. 21, 2004, at Sherwood Manor Rehabilitation and Nursing Home. At her
side as she went to be with her Lord and Savior were her sons, David and
Lowell, and other family members. A native of Hammond, Marie received her
bachelor of arts degree from Anderson University, Anderson, Ind., her
master of science degree from Tulane University and pursued her doctoral
studies at Indiana University before returning to Anderson University to
join the science department faculty, where she taught for about 40 years.
Students, faculty, family and friends were touched by her generosity,
hospitality, warmth and deep Christian faith. She returned to Louisiana in
1989 with her husband, Gradie LaNoyette, who preceded her in death shortly
thereafter. A faithful wife, mother, teacher and friend, she devoted her
life to the joy and welfare of others for the glory of God. Visiting at
Greenoaks Funeral Home chapel, 9595 Florida Blvd., from 10 a.m. until
religious service at noon Thursday, Dec. 23, conducted by Pastor Kenny
Cutrer. Interment in Greenoaks Memorial Park.
