Mrs. Ransom was a native of Sweetlake and lived most of her adult life in Sulphur.  She enjoyed cooking for her family and friends, her meatballs and gravy and roast and potatoes were amongst some of her best dishes.  She also enjoyed collecting snowmen, tending to her plants and flowers and especially loved music, singing and dancing.  Mrs. Ransom will be most remembered for her love and devotion to her family.  She always had an open door to welcome nieces, nephews, her children’s friends and neighbors.  She had a kind, loving heart, most interested in caring for those around her.  Her greatest joy was the time she shared with her granddaughter.  Mrs. Ransom attended Bethany Baptist Church.
