Hope Lundberg

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Hope Ree Rainwater Lundberg, 66 years old, a resident of Slaughter, Hope passed away peacefully on February 4, 2020 at her home surrounded by her family. She entered this world on November 9, 1953, born to Chief Edward Rainwater and Rodney Rainwater Messenger, in Baton Rouge, LA. She always loved being the center of attention, she was a "Mother Theresa" to everyone she met, she loved sharing the love of the Lord, and she was a talented artist and quilter. She excelled in her career as a surgical technician during her many years in the field. She was a member of Fellowship Church in Zachary, LA.

Hope is survived by two daughters, Candace Ree Norton and boyfriend Gabriel Dale Reynolds and Jennie Lundberg Haley; three grandchildren, Tanner Michael Lundberg, Tyler Eugene Norton and Jenna Nicole Haley; two great grandchildren, Hollis Lundberg and Olivia Lundberg; brother, Chief Larry Rainwater; sister, Brenda Odom; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Hope was preceded in death by her father, Chief Edward Rainwater (of the Louisiana band of Choctaw Indians); mother, Rodney Rainwater Messenger; her loving husband, Raymond Eugene Lundberg; and brother, Chief Michael Rainwater
