Her home was the meeting place for both family and friends.  Those left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Vicki Crain of Maurepas;  son David Lindsey and wife, Sheri of Baton Rouge; daughter, Kristi Johnson and husband, Brent of French Settlement; sister Patty Shirley"“Verbois and husband, Doug of Baton Rouge; numerous grandchildren and  great grandchildren; a nephew and niece.  Survived by her special friend of thirty years, Alvin LeJeune, and his sons, Cyril and wife, Lynn and Richard and wife, Whitney.  Lavonne is preceded in death by her husband, Wilson Travis Lindsey; daughter, Betty Mills, parents, Benton and Lessie McGee and brother, Carol McGee.
