Kathryn Louise Armstrong Anton

""Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her work bring her praise at the city gate." Proverbs 31:29-31 Kathryn Louise Armstrong Anton went to be with her Savior Saturday, February 18, 2017, at the age of 91. She was a native of Ida, Louisiana and a longtime resident of Baton Rouge. She is survived by her three children, daughters; Vicki K. Anton, of Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Marcia Koesling (Don) of Denton, Texas and son George E. Anton, Jr. (Lisa ) of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
