April lived life to the fullest. She was a hardworking pipeline welder who made many
friends traveling for work. She was the life of the party who never met a stranger. She worked hard and played harder. In her free time she enjoyed mud riding, taking her boat out on the water, and cooking a good meal surrounded by friends and family. She had a heart of gold and gave with everything she had. She touched many lives and her family finds solace in knowing that she will live on in the hearts of countless others.
The family would like to thank the amazing doctors, nurses, and staff at Advent Medical Hospital in Tampa, FL for taking amazing care of her.
All friends and family are welcome to attend her services which will be held Friday, May 27, 2022 from 4PM to 9 PM at Samart Funeral Home of Houma, West Park. The visitation will resume on Saturday, May 28, 2022 from 8AM to 1PM, with the funeral services to begin at 1PM, at Samart Funeral Home of Houma, West Park. Burial will follow in Rogers Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in April’s Honor.
The family is requesting that you come dressed to her services as you would be going to one last cook out with April.
