Elizabeth Mullins, 94, peacefully entered eternal rest the afternoon of March 13, 2023. Services will be at Central Baptist Church, 970 Highway 550, Brookhaven, MS, on Monday, March 20. Visitation will begin at 10:00 am, with a funeral service at 11:00 am followed by interment at Easthaven Cemetery, next to her beloved husband John Walter Mullins.

Elizabeth was preceded in death by her husband of 41 years John Walter Mullins   She is survived by their son, Walter Mullins (Leslie) and two grandchildren Andrew Mullins and Patrick Mullins (Meggie), all of whom she loved dearly.  Elizabeth loved her family immensely, and they loved her.  She loved spending time with her grandsons who knew her as “MaMaw”.  She delighted in and is survived by her sister Maxine “Titlar” Bramwell, many nieces and nephews and her daughter in law’s brother Tim Timmons.  She is also preceded in death by her parents Allen Yow Steger and Edna Gates Steger.

Elizabeth was born on October 14, 1928 in Norfield, MS and grew up there.  Being the older sister, Elizabeth often spoke of having to “…keep her sister in line…” when growing up, but she wouldn’t have had it any other way and her sister was a constant source of joy for her entire life.  Growing up in the country, Elizabeth developed a love of plants, flowers and birds.  This love carried on through out her life and you could always see her in her garden tending to her flowers and feeding the birds.  Every spring was a new awakening for Elizabeth.  Following graduation from Bogue Chito High School as salutatorian, she worked for Mississippi Power and Light where she met her husband, John, and was married in 1955.

Elizabeth was a woman of strong faith, and she was actively involved in her church, serving on many committees and ministries over the years.  One of her favorite committees was the cookbook committee and the preparation of the Central Baptist Cookbook, as she was a passionate and amazing baker.  Her family and friends always knew you would never leave her home without your sweet tooth being satisfied.  Elizabeth cherished her faith family at Central Baptist and the fellowship and good friends she found in the congregation.  She tried to be at church each time the doors opened.  Later in life when she could not be there in person, she enjoyed watching the stream of each church service and the wonderful singing of the choir. 

She had delightful times with the “Walking Crew”, which spent countless mornings at the Super Walmart and the church walking and talking.  Coffee and fellowship always followed at Subway and later Burger King.  It was the best fitness a person could have for their body and soul.

Elizabeth embraced life, and she never stopped learning.  Thanks to her grandsons she took her first airplane flight at the age of 84 to travel to visit them and subsequently flew many more times to visit them. She became an avid student of the world, following the travels of her grandson Andrew as he traveled to over 30 countries for his job.  She danced her first dance at the age of 92 at Patrick’s wedding.

Elizabeth was blessed to have special people later in life who assisted her when needed.  Special thanks to Flo, Jada, Darlene and Carolyn.

If you wish, flowers are welcome or donations may be made in Elizabeth’s name to the American Heart Association or Central Baptist Church

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.
