Lola "Kathy" Forbes

Lola "Kathy" Forbes was born January 23, 1949 in Bay Springs, Mississippi and passed away peacefully on May 15, 2016 in her sleep at home. The perks of having children young is you get to love them longer. At least that's the theory. Unfortunately, life happens and it's unpredictable. As we part ways with another angel we are reminded of life. Kathy taught everyone she's touched to either love with all you have or to never love at all. Love is unconditional whether it's your spouse, your family, or your friends. In this life our biggest blessing is our hearts. Even if life is short it can still be sweet. Kathy leaves to cherish her loving memories her significant other and beloved spouse of 16 years Don Thomson; three sons, Kelon Anderson and his wife Gail of Ovelt, Miss., Kenneth Forbes of Bayou Vista, Casey Forbes of Houma; two daughters, Laurie Schulmeister and her husband Frank of St. Martinville , Melanie Douet and her husband Clyde of St. Martinville; an additional honor Debbi Crawford; 13 grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren; one brother, Ray Flynt of New Orleans; host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. She was preceded in death by her son David "Jerry" Mensman; parents, Clarence "Doc" Flynt and Carrie Holden; two lifelong best friends, Debbie Helton and Jeannie Crosby; other relatives and friends. A memorial visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. on Friday, May 20, 2016 at Twin City Funeral Home.
