She retired in nursing from Winnfield General Hospital. Late in life she married Mr. Lee Cloud.

Ilene lived a true to the word of God life. She was a kind humble, gentle lady. She never asked for anything and expected nothing from anyone. She lived her life as enstilled in her from decendants of the Pennsylvania Dutch Quakers.

Pallbearers will be great great nephews: Mark Johnson, Jason Johnson, Joey Johnson, John Townsend, John Cloud, and Charles McFarland.

A special appreciation to all of the wonderfull staff of the 4th floor at North Monroe St. Joseph Hospital and for the excellent care and compassionate professional work they gave of themselvles. I shall always remember – and the most caring and compassionate doctor, Dr. Rutherferd, you are truly the best. Thank You.
