Not to be confused with Syble Arlene Wise Coile.∼Obituary from Boone Funeral Home (Bossier City LA) website:
Syble Wise Haynes was born in The Redlands, an area in North Bossier Parish near Plain Dealing, La. and not that far from Springhill, La. She was the fifth child of six to be born to Shelly Douglas Wise and his wife Elizabeth Matlock Wise. She reached her 95th birthday on June 2, 2016, and she joined her parents and all her siblings and their spouses as well as her husband on August 9, 2016. Because all of her immediate family died before her, she liked to call herself The Last of the Mohicans, which was one of her favorite books. Her last years were tormented by the specter of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Her husband was Elvie Haynes of Springhill who passed away on April 25, 1984 of cancer. They had been married then just short of 44 years. Syble Haynes was happiest when she was working at something or when she was reading or writing. She and Elvie are survived by two daughters, Margaret Haynes Mims and Marcy Haynes. They had two grandchildren, Billy Scott Mims and Kelli Dawn Mims. They had three great-grandchildren, Angelique Grote, Brody Mims, and Brianna Rae Mims. They had three great-great grandchildren, Charisma Nead, Ireland Grote, and Lily Shore.
Syble Haynes was an innovator, a talker, a person with opinions of her own, a staunch Democrat, a fantastic farmer, a fashion designer, a stenographer (with the Webster Parish department of the Department of Children, Youth, and Families), a lover of dogs and cats, a political activist (She hated taxes on cigarettes, and she loved Hillary Clinton), an avid reader, a determined writer (She kept a journal most of her life.), a feminist, an excellent cook, an accountant and a citizen of the world. The only vote she missed was the last one held in the state, because by then, she could no longer read and understand the ballot. She loved to read about history, because, she said, “I’ve lived through all of this—I’ve been a part of it.” She endured the Depression and as a result, she knew how to ration resources and to make a little go a long way. She was part of The Greatest Generation, and she was part of what made that generation the greatest. She will be missed.
