We Walk For You
As we approach Breast Cancer Awareness month we highlight, Damaris “DeeDee” Broussard-Purnell. Damaris was a devoted Wife, exceptional Mother, Daughter, Aunty, and "Best Friend" to many. Demaris’s heart was in helping others, especially children. She had a special place in her heart for caring for children so much so that she opened her own daycare and took all children in as her nieces and nephews. She had a special connection with all people, those she may have met at the grocery store, at church, or anyone she may have crossed paths with. In 2014 Demaris was diagnosed with breast cancer, though it was devastating to the family, everyone fought with her hard and strong. Through the diagnosis, sickness, and treatments, the outcome was successful! During 2020 the world felt the affects of Covid-19. During this time as we remember, the world was limited in services and care. Due to those limitations Demaris was not able to get her yearly mammogram. As Covid-19 settled down, she was able to follow up with her appointments and at that point she learned that the cancer had returned and spread this time. The family gathered together once again, praying, giving strength to each other and her; to fight as the family had fought before. Although, this time there was a different outcome. She left with everyone, her caring abilities, reminding each person she came in contact with; to love one another, support one another and be your best self until the end!
We walk to honor you and the drive that you've given us to keep going!
