Sisters Together was a night for Black women to celebrate, love and support one another. We re sisters in more than one way, Shirley Alexander, with the Central Louisiana Juneteenth Association, told those in attendance at Friday night s event held at the Broadway Resource Center. We re sisters in Christ if you know Him. We are sisters in color. And we re sisters in femininity.
The women s service is a new component of the local Juneteenth celebrations, said Carolyn Frazier, president of the Central Louisiana Juneteenth Association. She felt it was a way for older and younger people to reestablish a connection that has been lost.

Graveside services for Eddie Joe Frazier, age 80, will be held at 3 p.m., Wednesday, December 23, 2020, at Cook Cemetery in Ruston, LA.
Eddie Joe was born on March 22, 1940, and went to meet his heavenly father on December 18, 2020.
He worked many years and retired from Entergy. Eddie Joe was an awesome cowboy and spent his last years riding through the pasture checking the cows and horses. His joy was going to the Little Britches Rodeos watching his family participating in the rodeo events.
Eddie Joe was thankful for his extended family at Ruston Nursing and Rehab Center, happy and comfortable with his “crib” as he called it. He was also very grateful for Premiere Hospice.
