Haley, a grandson, Neil Haley; as well as 3 sisters and 2 brothers. She is survived by her daughter, Nell Sisson and her husband Lane of Shreveport; a son, Stanley Haley of Shreveport; a granddaughter, Lorrie Magill and her husband Jacob of Shreveport; and a great-grandson who she adored spending time with and he lightened up her life and was the apple of her eye, Grayson Magill. The family wishes to “thank” the staff at Highland Christus Schumpert Cancer Center for the care and compassion they gave Mamie during such a difficult time as well as the staff of Amedisys Hospice Care; Shannon, Amanda, Nora & Chaplain Mr. Jim. Those honored to serve as pallbearers include James Shoemaker, Jay Shoemaker, Stephen Orsborn, Randy Yopp and Jacob Magill.
