Charles Louis Aymond

Charles is survived by his wife, Lisa of Wisner; his parents, James and Margaret Aymond of Wisner; two brothers, Jimmy Aymond and his wife Linda of Sikes, La; Jo Jo Aymond and his wife Christy of Wisner; onw sister, Nikki Aymond of Monroe; 10 nephews, 10 nieces, three great nephews, three great nieces, numerous honorary nieces and nephews, and countless aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his sister, Laura Aymond of Wisner.
Funeral services were held for Charles at Christian Fellowship Church in Chase, where he had recently become a member, on Saturday, June 20 2009 with Brother George Ferrington and Brother Thomas Peoples officiating. Immediately following the church services, graveside interment was held at South Central Baptist Church Cemetery.
