Misty was a free-spirited and loving soul. She touched many lives and lived life to the fullest. A true adventurer, Misty was a native of Houma, traveled many different countries, and finally found beauty in the land of Fairbanks, Alaska working at Chief Andrews Isaac Heath Center.  She enjoyed her time there and made many friendships along the way. She was loving, caring, compassionate, fun, and had the most amazing personality. Misty studied and obtained a bachelor’s degree in biology and minored in technical writing at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock, Arkansas.  Misty worked at Children's Hospital in Little Rock while furthering her education by earning her Doctorate degree at the University of Arkansas for Medical Science in Pharmacology.   Her life will be remembered by many as she now rests in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Sweet Baby Jesus.
