RIPPLE CAYSON Mooreville - Ripple Cayson, 95, died Sunday, December 21, 2014, at Golden Living Center in Tupelo after a lengthy illness. She was born September 22, 1919, in Itawamba County to Charles Gilbert and Bertha Funderburk Hood. From a very early age, she moved to Mooreville where she lived nearly all her life.

Ripple by trade was a seamstress and worked many years in a number of area garment manufacturing plants, most notably, Blue Bell and Reed's Manufacturing. She was often referred to as having a "green thumb" and her flower gardens drew the attention of many admirers to take pictures and collect cuttings that Ripple was so generous to offer. She was a member of Boguefala Baptist Church. Services will be 2 p.m. Tuesday, December 23, 2014, at the Jefferson Street Chapel of W. E. Pegues with Rev. Eddie Boutwell officiating.
