Mrs. John Ethel Page Minifield is a native of Farmerville, Louisiana but has lived in Monroe Louisiana for many years. She graduated from Grambling State University with a Bachelor of Science in Music Education and received her Master’s Degree in Music Education from the University of Louisiana in Monroe. Mrs. Minifield retired after 34 years with the Ouachita Parish School System.
