Golden Funeral Home - November 2015
DONNIE AUSTIN TRAVIS

Graveside funeral services for Mr. Donnie Austin Travis, age 75 are 
scheduled for 2 PM Monday, November 16, 2015 at Causey Cemetery with Rev. 
Doug Edwards officiating. Visitation will be held Monday, November 16 from 
10 AM until 12 Noon at Golden Funeral Home.

Mr. Travis, a resident of Bastrop, LA, passed away peacefully at 1:15 PM on 
Thursday, November 12, 2015, at St. Francis Medical Center in Monroe, 
Louisiana. He was born in Bastrop, Louisiana, on April 23, 1940 to the late 
Jim and Lillian Travis (Regan). Donnie graduated High School while enrolled 
in the United States Army. He married the love of his life, Mary Lou Hughes 
on July 20, 1962 in Bastrop, Louisiana. He served in the United States Army 
at Travis Air Force Base in California as a Private First Class for three 
years. Donnie enjoyed a career as a Master Craftsman until his retirement in 
2002. His creativity continued in all aspects of his life through his 
paintings, carvings, and various musical instruments he enjoyed playing. He 
was passionate about all things outdoors, especially fishing and hunting. 
His sense of humor is what will be missed the most; Donnie always had a joke 
ready and had the gift of timing. He had an immense love for children, and 
would be seen teasing them every chance he could get.

Survivors include his wife: Mary Lou; daughter: Sheila Roberts and husband 
Michael of Hilton Head Island, SC; son: Barry Travis and wife Renee of 
Jupiter, FL; grandchildren: Tucker Roberts, Ellie Roberts, Austin Travis, 
Kaley Hirahara, Chloe Turner and Gabriel Turner, Christian Toner, and 
Elliott Toner.

He was preceded in death by his parents: Jim and Lillian Travis; siblings: 
James Travis, Gaines Travis, Helen (Sook Travis) Wilson, Cleo (Travis) 
George, Leola (Travis) Lloyd, Opal (Travis) Achord and Bobby Travis.

Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital in memory of Donnie 
Travis.
