Mildred Harter

Mildred Ann Amberg Harter, 83, passed from this life on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, at her residence surrounded by her loved ones following a lengthy illness.

She was born December 21, 1940 in Georgetown, LA to the union of her parents, John Amberg and Annie Mae Garr Amberg.

Mildred was a member of Olla First Baptist Church. She loved cooking and working in the yard, and making her peanut brittle that only she could make paper thin. Mildred played basketball (and let’s not forget her great hook shot) and graduated from Georgetown High School. After that she went to Northwestern State University where she graduated with a degree in education and went on to teach for thirty years in LaSalle, Grant, and Caldwell Parishes. Mildred had some great accomplishments, but her family was her favorite.

Services were held at 11 a.m., Saturday, January 6, 2024, at Olla First Baptist Church, with Bro. Johnnie Phillips officiating with Bro. Dennis Baker assisting.

Interment followed in the Starks Cemetery, Georgetown, under the direction of Riser Funeral Home.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Jimmy Amberg; and her brother-inlaw, Philip Perego.

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of over 58 years, Bobby Harter; two sons, John Lynn Harter of Olla and Todd Harter (Maureen) of Baton Rouge; daughter, Melanie Parker (Phillip) of Benton; three grandchildren, Amanda Tate (Dustin) of Hallsville, TX, Brandon Parker (Courtlyn) of Shreveport and Hannah Parker of Ruston; four great-grandsons, Austin Tate, Caleb Tate, Parker Tate and Hudson Parker; two sisters, Cherrie Sue Jackson (Paul) of Sulphur and her twin sister, Frances Perego of Shreveport; sister-in-law, Linda Amberg from Georgetown; and a host of cousins, nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers were Dustin Tate, Jay Amberg, Eric Perego, Geoff Perego, Phillip Parker and Tracy Breithaupt.
