She was a secretary for Bud Dale, First Prentiss Savings and Loan and then First Guaranty in Prentiss. Libba was a very active member of Prentiss United Methodist Church for seventy plus years. When it came time that she couldn’t be as active as she wanted to in the church she became a great prayer warrior for them. When Libba said she was praying for you, it was guaranteed that you were being prayed for. Her smile was contagious and never faltered. Her love and relationship with Jesus was so great that it inspired you to want that relationship also. She loved you the moment she met you. She will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of ever meeting her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas Bruce Harris and Vera Smith Harris; husband, Carol Mikell; four brothers and two sisters. Survivors include two daughters, Becky Williamson (Walter Carroll) of Meridian, Betty Grant (Ricky) of Brandon, MS; four grandchildren; thirteen great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.
