Enoch B. Magee

Visitation for E.B. Magee will be Thursday, March 16, from 5-8 p.m. at Riverwood Family, and will resume from 9 a.m. until the time of service Friday. The funeral service will be 11 a.m. Friday, March 17, at Riverwood Family in Brookhaven, MS.

Enoch B. Magee, 82, passed from this life and to his heavenly home on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at his residence in Brookhaven. He was born to Enoch Samuel Magee and Annie Bell Linder Magee on May 14, 1940, in Greenville, Mississippi.

E.B. or “B”, as he became known, attended Baskin High School in Baskin, LA. While attending BHS he picked up the nickname “OOP” for his love of the song, “Alley Oop”. He served a short time in the United States Marine Corp before marrying his sweetheart, Beulah Mae Bardwell, and finally settling in Brookhaven, MS.

In the early 1960’s, E.B. was employed by Mapp Well Service where he worked more than 20 years. Mapp’s was bought out by Callon Energy Services where E.B. became manager of the Brookhaven regional office. He later became owner/operator of Magee’s Lawn Service and then on to become a supervisor for Premier Pump & Supply. Upon his retirement from Premier Pump & Supply, he was employed by Brookhaven Mini Storage as the maintenance/custodial manager, until the time of his death. He loved his oilfield life and found much pride in his hard work that enabled him to take care of his family and friends.

In his late 40’s, he found a passion for golfing. He was an avid player, landing spots in different tournaments, including the annual “Red Stuard Classic” on the Mississippi Coast. In his latter years, most days you could find him in his recliner, relaxing, watching John Wayne, Hop-A-Long Cassidy, Family Feud, and Wheel of Fortune. He had a love for Ole Miss Everything! But he really enjoyed watching Rebel Baseball with his family, and his buddy, Richard Barker. (Because of his love for the SEC sports, please feel free to support your team with the proper attire.)

Throughout his life, he became a father figure to many people. He loved unconditionally and provided a safe place for anyone who needed a helping hand.

Preceding him in death are his wife of 37 years, Beulah Mae Bardwell Magee; his parents; sons, Vernon E. Magee and Gerald Magee; sisters, Emma Jean Noble, Mazie Lee Williams, and Susan Easterling; brother, Sam Magee; son-in-law, Murray E. Lott; three sisters-in-law and one brother-in-law.

Survivors include his daughters, Barbara Renee Magee of Brookhaven and Rhonda Magee Lott of Hazlehurst; granddaughters, Annah Dunaway (Kevin) and Alexis Fugler, both of Brookhaven; and one great granddaughter, Bellah Dunaway; brother, Herchel Magee (Charlotte) of West Monroe, LA; sister, Yvonne Oliveaux (O.J.) of Ferriday, LA; brothers-in-law, who is more like a brother, Hollis Bardwell (Linda) of Pasadena, TX, Billy Posey of Brookhaven; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and extended family. Also among the survivors are his feline companions and fur babies, Bubba and Sister, who both brought much love and joy to each day of his life.

Due to expected inclement weather, there will be no graveside service, however, there will be food and fellowship in the ministry center at Heuck’s Retreat Baptist Church for friends and family.

    I’m so very sorry for your loss. I worked for National Oilwell and got to know EB. I knew Gerald until his passing. Mr EB always had a joke and a cup of coffee. RIP Mr EB
