Paul Beasley, Jr.
Paul Beasley, Jr., 78, of Griffin, GA passed away Monday, March 13, 2023. Visitation will be Friday, March 24 from 7-9pm at DeRidder High School Gymnasium. Funeral service will be Saturday, March 25 at 11am at DeRidder High School Gymnasium. Interment will be at Beauregard Cemetery. Rev. Murray Piper will officiate.
Paul Beasley, Jr. was born in Singer, Louisiana on December 11, 1944, to the late Bishop Paul Beasley, Sr., and Alberta Prater Beasley. Paul was baptized at an early age at the Macedonia Baptist Church, Singer, Louisiana. He later united with the St. Mary Church of God in Christ (C.O.G.I.C.) under the leadership of the late Elder Levy Ackley. Paul attended George Washington Carver High School in DeRidder and was later drafted into the U. S. Army. Later in life, he left DeRidder to pursue his professional singing career.
His professional career began in the mid-60s with the Late Great Willie Neal Johnson, founder and lead vocalist of the renowned Gospel Keynotes of Tyler, Texas. The Gospel Keynotes accelerated in the ministry and recorded many gospel hits, including “Jesus You Been Good to Me”, “That’s My Son”, and “Help Me to Be Strong.” In the late 70s, Paul joined The Keynotes’ main rival, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, where he went on to record what many would declare is their favorite Paul Beasley song, “Walk Around Heaven.” During his tenure with this group, they acquired a Grammy with many award-winning hits. In June 1984, Paul released his first solo album, “My Soul is Free” in Atlanta, GA. A second solo album recorded was “There’s a God Who Knows it All.” He later returned to the Keynotes in 1996. Prior to joining The Blind Boys of Alabama, he led his own professional gospel singing group, Paul Beasley and the Keynotes.
Paul remained faithful to his gospel roots and kept his promise that he would never join the secular world because God blessed him with an incomparable talent – One of the best. Recently, in February 2023, The Blind Boys of Alabama, of which Paul was a member, sang nationally on The View. Paul is known for his powerful anointed voice and his ability to connect with his audience. He and the groups have won numerous awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Gospel Album. Paul performed for over 50 years in the gospel industry, recorded over 20 albums, and has toured the world, sharing his music with millions of fans. In the gospel quartet industry, he is known as one of the best Falsetto singers. He has been compared to the likes of Sam Cooke for his vocal abilities.
Paul is preceded in death by his parents, Bishop Paul Beasley, Sr., Alberta Prater Beasley, and one brother, Bishop Fred Ross, Jr. Remaining to cherish his lifelong memories are his wife, Glendora Beasley of Griffin, GA; one (1) sister, Doris (Odell) Vickers of Alexandria, LA; a sister-in-law, Augustine Ross of DeRidder, LA; four (4) daughters, Stephanne (Billy) Spikes and Rita Y.

Mae Estelle Johnson
Mae Estelle Boeckner Johnson was the fifth child of Aaron and Gertrude Boeckner of Hesston, Kansas. Mom was born on September 1, 1932. She took her flight to glory land on January 2, 2023 with most of her family standing around her bed, at Oakwood Manor in Brooksville, Ms. She reached the age of 90 years. Her formal education was received at French School in rural Moundridge, Kansas. At the age of 12, Mom found her Savior and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ Mennonite on November 21, 1944 by Min. Harry Wenger. She was faithful to her vows unto the end. She was united in marriage to Chester Johnson on December 31, 1950. They enjoyed nearly 69 years together.
They made their home at the family farm south of DeRidder, Louisiana. In a little over two years and two babies later, Dad, with mom by his side, was ordained to the ministry in February of 1953. Mom had a quiet steady way, always standing beside Dad in his calling. Dad was no doubt the head of the home, but mom had her own gentle way of assisting him. Dad and Mom were very hospitable. Many times when visitors were in church they would soon be our guests at home. We found in mom a ready listening ear, we could take our struggles and troubles to her and she would hear us out. Mom really enjoyed it when the girls would prop a songbook on the window sill and sing while they did dishes. She loved flowers and was an avid gardener. As a wonderful homemaker she enjoyed her work and taught us children the value of a good work ethic as well. We often heard her whistling or humming a tune while she worked.
Mom and Dad found fulfillment and joy in giving time in various mission locations. These included: Fleetwood and Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, the Philippines, Sarasota, Florida, and Hesson, Ontario.
In 2013, folks moved to the Oakwood Community in Brooksville, MS. They enjoyed their time there, sharing time with old friends and making new ones. When Dad passed away 3 years ago, it left mom very lonely and she anxiously awaited the day God would call her home. She appreciated the loving care she received at Oakwood Manor during the last ten years of her life.
Her survivors include her children: Kenneth and Fern, Macon, Mississippi, Barbara and Fred Toews, St. Mary's, Ontario, Carol and Chester Esau, Alan and Pamela, Dumas, Arkansas, Dianne and Duane Smith (presently serving in Uganda, East Africa), Marjorie and Wayne Litwiller, Curtis and Sharon, all of DeRidder, Louisiana. Thirty-four grandchildren and ninety-six great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren.
Brothers: Gerald and Thelma Boeckner, Weldon and Lois Boeckner, Dennis and Eileen Boeckner, Sisters: Vada Schmidt, JoAnn and Andrew Powell, Rose and Paul Toews, Lois and Fred Decker. Those who have gone on before: her parents, her husband, one brother, five sisters, one sister-in-law, four brother-in-laws, one grandson, and three great grandchildren.

Phyllis Dianne Longoria
On Friday, Nov 11th, our mom “Diane” Longoria, left this earth to spend eternity with our Father, in Heaven. Those who knew her knew that she was an avid animal person. She saved and raised many dogs, cats and even squirrels, or any other creature that came along. We were constantly fighting her about giving away what little money she had to the “Save the Elephants” foundation and about 10 other organizations. Whoever sent the mail with the saddest picture got the money that month. She also loved plants and flowers and to garden. She could save any plant..she did it for plenty of those that others did their best to kill. Last but not least, our mother LOVED To play bingo. She spent many nights at the VFW and the American Legion chasing that jackpot. So many times we heard her say “I was waiting on ONE number!”
Well, Moma, you don’t have to wait anymore. You’ll be winning every day. Forever. We love and miss you dearly. Until we meet again…Rest in Peace.

Linda Sue Kyle
Linda Sue Kyle entered this earthly life on September 2, 1951 in DeRidder, Louisiana. She was the second of three children born to parents Woodie and Ophelia Kyle. On September 17, 2022 Linda left her earthly residence and went home to be with the Lord. She was 71 years old. Funeral service will be Saturday, October 1 at 12pm at Norris Memorial Church of God in Christ located at 501 E. North St. DeRidder, LA. Interment will be at North Merryville Community Cemetery. Pastor Maurice Bynum will officiate.
Linda was a graduate of George Washington Carver High School. It was after graduating from high school that she began a lifelong career as a servant. She was always willing to help in any capacity she could, whether it was caring for cousins when they were young or sitting with her Aunt Virginia whenever she got a call.
She looked after and cared for her brother Glenn until he relocated to Many, LA. Even after that, she made sure he had a place he could come to whenever he came to town. This caring relationship continued until his death. Linda also took care of her father Woodie for years until his death.
For over twenty years she worked at Sonic, where they considered her a faithful and dependable worker. You may at times have seen her walking to work. It was not because she couldn’t have called someone to get a ride; it was because she did not want to be a burden to anyone.
Linda never desired wealth or status in life. She always made due with whatever she had, never complaining. She was always generous with her time and whatever else she had. She did nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit; rather in humility she valued others above herself. She did not look at her own interest, but rather at the interest of others (Phil 2:3-4).
After she retired to take a much deserved rest, her son decided it was time someone took care of her. So he moved her to Georgia with his family. There she was able to dote on her grandchildren, put her feet up and let someone care for her for a change. There she remained; surrounded by the people she loved and who loved her, until the Lord took her home.
Those she left behind to mourn their loss is daughter, Valerie Kyle White and granddaughter, Cemille Patrice (Hagerstown, MD); son, Michael Kyle and wife Olivia; grandchildren, Cameron, Natalie and Raven (Dallas, GA); brother, Blann Kyle and wife Yvette (DeRidder, LA); uncle, Harold Gill (Merryville, LA); aunt, Virginia Gill Washington (Bel Air, MD); nephews, Derrick Kyle (DeRidder, LA) and Dr. Tyrone Kyle and wife Brittany (Greensboro, NC); great nephews, Caleb and Giovanti Kyle; cousins, Stephanie Clark and Evelyn McClinton who considered her more of a sister than a cousin; and a host of other cousins who loved her.
She is preceded in death by her parents Woodie and Ophelia Kyle; brother, Glenn; and nephew, Blann Kyle Jr.

Betty Jean Cooley
Betty Jean Johnson was born to Lallage and Walter Johnson in Centreville, AL the only daughter out of four children. She lived most of her younger years around that area as well, attending school in West Blockton, AL, where she completed her High School diploma, and meeting her soul mate William E. “Bo” Cooley, in Edingstown, AL when he came home with a friend on a break from the Air Force. They were married September 6, 1952 and she followed him to many duty stations before he retired in 1968 and they landed in DeRidder, LA. They had and raised three daughters Diann Latham, Kathy Gregory, and Tina Parker. Betty had many jobs and all of them were helping people, working in hospitals in Alabama and as a Pink Lady at Beauregard Memorial. She was also a lunch lady and fed many hungry mouths at 1st Street School, DeRidder High and KR Hanchey Elementary, but also in her kitchen at home. Betty created a home for her family and filled it with love, everyone was always welcome, up until her very last breath. Betty lost the love of her life in 2005 after spending 53 years married and traveling from one end of the US to the other; they loved a good road trip and made enough memories to fill several lifetimes.
Betty loved her family with everything she had, especially her grand and great grandchildren. From the love Betty shared with her husband “Bo” they had seven grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. Betty spent many hours a day on her front porch and side patio just sitting, watching the birds, listening to her wind chimes, and chatting with any and everyone that came by. Her house was always inviting, her door was always open, and she greeted everyone with a smile. Betty was just three months shy of celebrating 90 incredible, joy packed, years of life. She passed peacefully in her home the evening of April 24, 2022. As the Heavens opened up and welcomed her, our hearts broke. Her family rests in knowing that she’s now whole, in the arms of the Lord and her forever love.
Visitation will be Wednesday, April 27 from 5-8pm at Ludington Baptist Church. Funeral service will be Thursday, April 28 at 1pm at Ludington Baptist Church. Interment will be at Old Cypress Cemetery. Rev. Bruce Butts will officiate.

Ronnie loved spending time with his housemates and had a special love/hate relationship with former housemate Harold Pollard. Ronnie had a close relationship with his staff and gave each a name that only he called them.
He loved going on home visits with his brother and spending time with his family. His favorite things to do on his home visits were to eat turkey and visit with close friends and family members, as well as drinking coffee that was plentiful on his visits.
More than anything Ronnie loved food. He would ask what’s for lunch and dinner while sitting at the table eating breakfast. He also loved “black coke” not to be confused with “white coke” or “Pepsi coke.” He liked to spend his days sitting on the back porch and bird watching. He liked to go for rides in the van, the destination did not matter. He loved going to the rodeo and all things cowboy. When he could not sit out and bird watch he liked to pass his time watching “cowboy pictures” like Gunsmoke and Bonanza. He also liked to wear his cowboy hat while he played his guitar.
Ronnie will be greatly missed by the staff and clients at the Ray Charles Smith Community Home. His family would like to thank Evergreen for all that they have done for Ronnie over the years and for caring for him as they do. “He liked to come to the house to visit, but he was always ready to go back to his home.”

Leslie Lynn Morgan
“Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
Leslie Lynn Morgan, 62, of DeRidder, LA passed away on Wednesday, June 2, 2021 at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. She was born on December 17, 1958 in DeRidder, LA, where she resided most of her life. Visitation will be Sunday, June 6 from 4-7pm at First Baptist Church of DeRidder. Celebration of Life service will be Monday, June 7 at 2pm at First Baptist Church of DeRidder. Interment will be at Beauregard Cemetery. Rev. Aaron Dickinson, Rev. Stuart Graves, and Rev. Steve Graves will officiate.
Leslie had five major passions in life: faith, family, friends, children and adventure.
Leslie’s faith and trust in the Lord was unwavering. She shared her love for Christ and her personal spiritual journey with anyone who was willing to listen. It brought her great joy to lead someone closer to the Lord. Leslie was a member of First Baptist Church of DeRidder. She was active in the church choir, handbells, and the youth ministry and served on several Faithwalk teams over the years.
She was a loyal and endearing confidant to numerous friends and acquaintances that God placed in her life. Leslie would drop everything to assist, reassure or encourage friends, colleagues and even complete strangers if it was placed on her heart. She treasured the close friendship bonds she was blessed to have throughout her life.
Leslie had a true gift when it came to working with children. She ministered to countless young people over the course of her life, and every child had a special place in her heart. Leslie was a remarkable teacher; she was named “Teacher of the Year” at Carver Elementary. She was also a long-standing youth leader at First Baptist Church. But most of all, Leslie loved and adored her own children and grandchildren unconditionally, as well as a host of nieces and nephews who she appreciated, guided and nurtured like her own.
Lastly, Leslie lived for adventure. Whether it was traveling to the beach, serving on church mission trips around the globe, visiting Disney World numerous times, or relaxing on the porch at her camp on Toledo Bend, she greeted each opportunity with excitement, curiosity and wonder.

Chester Homer Anderson, Sr.
On Friday, May 7, 2021, Chester Homer Anderson, Sr. received divine healing and eternal peace as he was welcomed into the arms of his savior, Jesus Christ, and was received into eternity by many friends and family that had passed before him. Those left on earth to cherish his memory are given great comfort and peace that Homer had accepted Jesus as a young man, and had witnessed the fruit of a personal relationship with Jesus in Homer’s later years.
Homer Anderson, Sr. began his life with his twin sister, Naomi Glass, on January 2, 1928. Homer was the last of 12 children, and was raised a hard-working young man who cherished family and the opportunities that life presented. After high school, Homer faithfully served his country in the United States Navy during World War II, and spent two years on the USS Portsmouth. After returning home from the War, Homer began a sixty-five year career in the oil field, where he began as a rough-neck and later retired as a drilling consultant.
Known as Homer by oil field colleagues and “Son” to his brothers and sisters, Homer Anderson was known as Papa to four children: Michael Anderson, who was surely waiting for Homer at the gates of Heaven; Kayla Anderson of West Monroe, Louisiana; Todd Anderson of Monroe, Louisiana; and Chester Homer Anderson, Jr. of Longview, Texas. Homer Anderson is further survived by his wife, care-giver and faithful friend of forty years, Mirta Anderson. Homer leaves behind several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will forever cherish the times they spent with their “Belo” or “Grand-dad.”
Those who wish to celebrate the life and legacy that Homer Anderson led, are encouraged to meet with the family on Saturday, May 15 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in a time of visitation at Grace Church, 1021 W. First Street in DeRidder, Louisiana with the funeral service to follow at 1 p.m. We are honored that Brother George Lee Glass, Homer Anderson’s nephew, will officiate the service. All who attend are invited to gather at the Champion Center immediately after the funeral service for a time of fellowship, encouragement, and celebration of the life that Homer Anderson lived and the eternal healing and peace he has finally received through our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Olga Ginter was born in DeRidder, LA to Glennie Perkins. She attended DeRidder High School and was the first in her family to graduate.
After high school, Olga worked at the Realart Theater before she married her soldier sweetheart. Gary and Olga moved around as the military requires and soon JR was born. Their family was complete but not their travels. Next they moved to Germany. In Germany, Olga worked as the international secretary of the bowling commission of Europe. All the while - raising a teenager - her hands were full. But she not only could do the paperwork; she could sling the bowling ball. A 300 game was not out of the question and she even had an opportunity to bowl against Earl Anthony - Pro Bowling League Hall of Famer.
But military life comes to an end and Olga retired with her family to Vernon Parish. Tyler was her first grandchild and her best buddy. They spent many hours just sharing time and memories together. JR and his wife Beth had three more children. Stephanie and Sabrina gave her a chance to experience the frills and lace and all of the joy and sass that little girls bring. One so shy and the other so bouncy compliments all sides of the relationship. Mr Kool - Eric - kept her young, never a dull moment with the joys of being a grandmother. Every day is a blessing when you have family. This is a celebration of Olga’s life and her legacy.

She was a cherished wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, friend, and Nana to so many. Her most treasured joy was her family whom she considered to be her greatest achievement. She lived her life to serve others. She loved life and found joy in helping and supporting her children and family to achieve their goals. She worked hard and taught her family the joys of hard work and achievement. She loved preparing big family meals and get-togethers, during which there was always board and card games with her children and family. She was the steadying force within the family, her spirit made the good times great and the hard times survivable. She would say, “We will make the Best of what we have.” No one ever left hungry; the food and doors were always open to welcome all that entered. She worked at Rosepine Elementary Cafeteria for eighteen years and loved interacting with the children. Even after retirement everywhere she went many of the children would recognize her, run toward her saying Ms. June !!! and give her a big hug her.

Sigler; her mother, Martha Tingle, and many more loved family and friends until the rest of her family will join her in heaven forevermore.
She was on Hospice and loved her Heart of Hospice nurse Amy and caregiver Ashley. She was given the very best of loving care.
In lieu of flowers, June asks that donations be given to the Order of the Eastern Star Chapter 204 in Rosepine, Louisiana and/or the John C. White Memorial Cemetery fund at 671 B. Johnson Rd. Leesville, LA 71446.

He loved helping others, landscaping, building, working out, writing songs, yard work and watching any and all sports. Stoney had a great sense of humor and had a nickname for all. Linda aka Booget, Betty aka Sally, Sheila and Roy aka Aunt Bunny and Uncle Gus. Stoney was referred to as Boog by Linda and as Uncle Bubba by family. Stoney could always be counted on in a crisis except if it involved bugs, bats, frogs or spiders. He was a private person who enjoyed traveling for work and pleasure and who was humble and had one of the biggest hearts. He loved his family and was a great provider. Stoney was a Christian who had great faith and loved Jesus. He worried about people and often could be heard telling someone get saved. Stoney will be greatly missed by his family, friends and coworkers. But I believe Stoney would say to all - Now that I am gone cry for me a little think of me sometimes but not for too long leave me in peace and go live life because this is not goodbye but simply until we see each other again.

The wake will begin at 5:00 pm on Friday, January 19, and the service will be on Saturday, January 20, at 11:00 am. Rev. Wayne Chance will officiate.
Melissa came into the world on a chilly, bright December day. The youngest child of Billy and Carol Airhart, she grew up adored and surrounded by six brothers and sisters, friends and family. Growing up in Hornbeck, she cheered for the Hornets until she graduated with the Class of 1986. Not too many years after high school, her dreams came true when she welcomed her daughter, Randi, into the world; she loved being a mother. Her son, Austin, was born a few years later. For her, the sun rose and set on her children. For the last 14 years she has served the community as a dispatcher for the Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Department where she was recently promoted to Dispatch Supervisor.
Four years ago she met and married Chuck Kennedy, the love of her life. She became step-mother to Shelby and Matthew. In the last few years she loved nothing more than spending time spoiling her grandchildren and worshiping Jesus. She was a member of Galilee Baptist Church where Chuck is a deacon. She woke up every day grateful for all she was blessed with. On Saturday, January 20, 2018 surrounded by her six brothers and sisters, family, and friends, she will be celebrated and honored. We know our baby girl is safe and well in the arms of Jesus.

J’Nett Burkett Glass
J’Nett Burkett Glass joined the lover of her life, Rev. George L. Glass, Jr., and the Lover of her Soul, her Savior, on Saturday, October 17, 2015, as she passed peacefully from this life to The Promise, at the age of 83. She was born in Converse, Louisiana, on May 26, 1932, to Novis and Clarice Burkett. Upon graduation from DeRidder High School where she was an active part of the marching band, as well as being an honor student, she continued her education at McNeese State University. While at McNeese she participated in the Cowboy Marching Band, was a member of ROTC and graduated on the Dean’s list with a degree in Business Education. She furthered her education and acquired a Bachelor of Science degree in Primary and Secondary Education.
In 1954 she married her childhood sweetheart, the love of her life, Rev. George L. Glass, Jr, and was the wind beneath his wings for over sixty years, until his passing just twenty-one (21) days prior to her home going.
While serving alongside her husband in various pastorates in Arkansas and Louisiana, she was a professional educator, her last assignment teaching sixth graders at Rosepine Elementary School, Rosepine, La. She was held in high esteem by fellow teachers, parents, and the community. Identified as a capable educator, she instilled discipline, respect, honesty, and imparted into each child a belief in their worthiness. She was a founding member of Beauregard Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, and a member of the Kisatchee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
J’Nett and her husband were founding pastors of Grace DeRidder. Her passion was women’s and children’s ministry, where she left a lasting legacy. She was a dear friend to everyone she met, always greeting one with open arms and a genuine smile. The impact of her life was profound, as she quietly ministered to so many with troubled hearts; she was a gifted encourager. She wove golden threads into the tapestry of countless lives with her gifted ability to listen, discern, and share her depth of wisdom.
Her legacy is continued by her sons, Pastor George Lee Glass and wife, Karen, and Gregg Glass; grandsons Steven Ross (Jessica), and George “Lee” Glass, II; great grandchildren Noah, Arielle, and Farrah Ross: one sister, Joyce Rodgers (Tom), a host of nieces and nephews and a world of family and friends.

The next five years provided opportunity to pastor churches in Tunica, Bunkie, and Camp 8, Louisiana, before they were led to North Little Rock, Arkansas, in pastorate over eighteen years. In 1978, their journey led them back to DeRidder, Louisiana where they ministered to the congregation of First United Pentecostal Church, and served as Director of Marketplace Ministry for Magnolia Life Insurance and Hixson Funeral Homes, throughout the state of Louisiana.
In 1988, he became the pastor of Soul’s Harbor in Dry Creek, Louisiana. In 1992, he became the founding pastor of The Ministries of Grace in DeRidder. He was instrumental in establishing churches in surrounding areas, encompassing churches in Dequincy, Reeves, Evans and Sulphur.
Among his peers, he was known as the "Pastors’ Pastor". He was a true shepherd and a peacemaker, always unhurried, ready to listen, share wisdom and prayers, a counselor and confidant to many.
Bro. Glass was blessed with the ability to touch souls like no one else. He ministered to people right where they were, with no judgement, just a smile, a hug, a joke or humorous story. He has left a unique “soul print” on thousands of lives, reaching across the globe. The heart of this humble and great man was simply loving people with the Love of God. His time in the pulpit was just a small thread woven throughout the tapestry of his ministry. It was time spent visiting and serving people He most cherished.
He was gifted in putting people at ease, knowing when to show up, when to speak, when to be silent, always offering his unique love and compassion. He was a recognized and respected face at local and regional hospitals, supporting people through difficult times, content to share conversation with those around him while waiting for that fresh pot of coffee to brew. His many phone calls consisted of, "This is Bro. Glass, just checking to see how you are doing", and always ending with, "I love you".
He lived for those around him. He lived to give, he gave to leave, he left to build, and he built to change.
Those who continue his legacy are his wife, J'Nett Burkett Glass; sons George Lee Glass and wife Karen, and Gregg Glass; grandsons Steven Ross (Jessica), and George “Lee” Glass, II; great grandchildren Noah, Arielle, and Farrah Ross: one brother, James Glass and wife Mary; two nieces Judy Taylor (Bob) and Vicki Plyante (Jeff); two great nieces, two great nephews; and a world of family and friends.
Visitation for friends and family will be Thursday, October 1, 2015, from Noon until 6 PM; Celebration of his Life will begin at 6:30 PM, at Grace, 1021 W. First St., DeRidder, Louisiana. Homegoing Internment service will follow at Noon on Friday, at Beauregard Cemetery, Highway 171 South, DeRidder, Louisiana.
In memorial to Bishop Glass, tributes may be directed to his favorite ministry, Soul Soup by Grace, a community soup kitchen; Grace Building Fund; or other ministry of choice.
