Hattiesburg newspaper:
Connoisseurs of Southern comfort foods are mourning the death Bonnie Jackson, 57, who ran Leatha’s Bar-B-Que Inn. She died of a massive heart attack on Tuesday, a family member said.
“She was a great friend and a top-notch restaurant operator,” said Hattiesburg restaurateur Robert St. John. “Some people looked at Leatha’s and just saw a shack and she really made it a great place to eat. They take care of family, friends and community, and Bonnie carried on that tradition. She was dedicated to her family and ran a good business.”
Leatha’s Bar-B-Que Inn is located on U.S. 98 and is known as a Hattiesburg staple. Visitors of the restaurant come from far and wide, traveling from as far as Washington or New York to get a bit of the barbecue.
