Barbara Bookamer

Barbara Anne Teasley Bookamer passed peacefully from this life to the next, on Wednesday, June 5 2024 as a result of complications following a stroke.  Quiet, witty and unfailingly kind, Barbara was beloved by all who knew her.  A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, she served willingly and faithfully in callings of service to others.  She is one of those rare people who truly live their beliefs, as she patterned her life after that of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Barbara was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, May 19, 1937, to Will Henry Teasley and Nola Virginia Bounds Teasley, of Bryceland, Louisiana.  She is pre-deceased by her parents, her brother William Raymond Teasley; a stepdaughter, Tammy Bookamer, and three grandchildren.  She leaves behind her two sons, Michael Robin Johnson and Jeffrey James Ladd, and their wives Nicole Johnson and Amy Ladd; her stepdaughters Vicki Lee Lefler and Christine Ann Welling and their husbands Ernest Lefler and Brian Welling; her sister Rosemary Jensen, as well as numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.

While we will miss her presence in our lives, we are comforted by the belief that she is having a joyous reunion with friends and family who have gone before, and the expectation that we, in our turn, will be reunited with her as well.

A graveside service will be held July 20 at 9:00 a.m. at the Bear Creek Cemetery in Bryceland, Louisiana.

We would like to thank friends who visited, called and prayed for her, and the nursing staff at LSU Shreveport, and Willow Ridge Nursing Home in Arcadia, La. who cared for her with such kindness and dedication.  You have our heartfelt gratitude.
