September 18, 1963 - July 26, 2014
Mona Ruth Ninemire was born September 18, 1963, in Alva, Oklahoma. She passed from this life on July 26, 2014, in Lake Providence, Louisiana, at the age of 50 years, 10 months, 8 days. She was the youngest of 5 children born to Paul & Gussie Ninemire.
Mona graduated from Charles Page High School in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, in 1981 and went on to attend Anderson College in Anderson, Indiana. She graduated with a B. A. in Marriage & Family Relations. After college she lived and worked as a nanny in Sand Springs, Oklahoma before moving to Oak Grove, Louisiana. In 1992 she began her 22-year career with John Gathings, CPA, where she was the Accounts Manager until her sudden illness in January of this year. She spent the last months of her life in rehab facilities in Minden and Lake Providence, Louisiana, as she struggled to regain her health while her father and family faithfully attended her needs. She received her complete healing as she was ushered into Heaven and given her new body and her beautiful voice was restored. The family wishes to thank the nurses and staff at Meadowview Rehab Center and Shady Lake Rehab & Nursing Facility.
Mona used her musical talents to glorify God and bring enjoyment to many people. She directed 20 children's Christmas musicals at First Church of God between 1991 and 2010. She led worship, sang in small group as well as the choir, and sang many solos. Her wonderful gift of music will be greatly missed. She is remembered for her love of life, contagious laughter, sense of humor, and her beautiful smile!
