Anne Batson passed away Thursday, May 21, in Shreveport, La.

Anne was born in Moultrie, Ga. in 1956 and raised in Wiggins. She graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi and had a career in laboratory science. She lived in many places during her life, but she raised her family in Vicksburg.

Her retirement years were spent in Shreveport entertaining stories from grandchildren, exploring local eateries and enjoying time with family on her porch.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Brax and Ellen Batson and her dear brother Scott Batson.

She is survived by her two sons, Benjamin Batson and Cullen Stewart; daughters-in-law, Cara Gouldey and Ariel Stewart; four grandchildren, Stella and Ramona and Caleb and Colin; two sisters, Suellen Morrison and Sally Batson; and many loved nieces and nephews.

Memorial services will be held in Wiggins later in the year when more people can gather together to celebrate her life. Announcements will be made to provide notice.
