It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Misty Ann Drake on February 9, 2022 in Harvey, LA at the age of 41.
She will be lovingly remembered by her 8 children: Haley, Nathan, Rebecca, Lindsey, Trinity, Anthony, Keyara, and Dominique; her six grandchildren, and her brother, Adam Sanders.
Misty was born in Danville, Arkansas on June 16, 1980 to Charlotte Sanders. In life, Misty was loved by many through all her struggles. She had a pure, loving heart, giving all she could to help others. Misty enjoyed traveling and lived in various locations throughout the US, making friends and spreading love everywhere she went. Misty also had a deep passion for singing and is, without a doubt, singing with the angels now. May she now rest in peace, free from all her pain and burdens. Many will miss her and remember her daily. In our memories she will live on, in our hearts her soul resides. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date, location to be determined.
Her daughter, Trinity, has provided the following poem to honor her mother:
In the quiet misty morning
her soul has laid to rest.
My heart is softly mourning
counting stars to go to bed.
In the quiet misty morning
her beauty runs free,
while in memory she sings.
When the moon as finally woken
I know I'm not alone;
for when the moon is out
her soul says hello. - Trinity Gilmore

Misty, my heart is so broken knowing I will never talk to you again, hear your laugh, or be graced by the beauty of your voice when you sing. All the memories will keep me smiling and I will never forget you or the love you showed to all.

Misty, I love your spunk, tell it like it is, heart of a lion. I miss the good old days when we were young and didn’t know life and it’s burdens. When we had nothing but time to hang out with friends, ride around town in our beat up cars, looking for the next exciting thing to come our way. You always had a song in your heart and the vocals to belt your favorite lyrics in front of everyone and anyone. You have fought and overcome so many obstacles. Anyone who knew you knew your strength. I hope you found your peace

You were one of my best childhood friends. I spent so much time at your house I was pretty much a resident. We had great summers, hanging out on the steps in front of your apartment, playing tag with the neighborhood friends. We enjoyed walks to Luke’s, 1 stop and Foster Freeze. Sometimes we would sit in the grass at the mortuary on Cold Springs Rd and wave at all the cars that drove by to see how many people would wave back. It was a big deal if a logging truck would toot their horn. If we were inside we would always be recording music videos on vhs tapes so we could watch them again. We watched things like Ren and Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead. We listened to a lot of music like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Stone Temple Pilots when they all first came out and we listened to a lot of classic rock n roll too the same tunes are parents liked. As we grew older we experimented together and I was always running away from home, I usually ended up at your house or down under Lotus bridge. I remember one time we jumped off Lotus bridge holding hands we thought it would be so cool and we both ended up with huge bruises on our arms because we hit the water so hard. So many memories I could go on forever. I hope you have found your happiness and are at peace now. Love you and will never forget you.
