Mrs. Louella N. Tarver, 100 of Brookhaven, went to be with her Lord on April 15, 2020, at Haven Hall Health Center.

Mrs. Louella was a graduate of Heuck's Retreat High School. As a young person, she enjoyed working at the Boston Shoe Store.
She inherited the desire for farm life from her parents. In 1942 she married Grady Tarver and they began dairy farming and raising cattle together.
They set an example for community and caregiving for others, that are evident in their families today. Her family is very blessed that she continued her desires
and interests until the present time, and they too continue to share the values and joys through their relationships and activities of home, family, church, sports,
cooking and growing flowers, as well as spending time with friends and reminiscing of those precious memories.
