Whenever her family needed a helping hand, she was always there, often stepping in to lovingly care for her grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Scotty James LeBouef; her parents, Pearl and Iray McGee; her brothers, Daniel Ray McGee and Gary James McGee; and her sister, Alice Faye Reed.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Lamm Hospice and The Carpenter House, especially her nurses, Tosha, Hope, and Jessica. Your compassion and care during this difficult time will never be forgotten.
