MAXINE DAVIDSON BECKHAM

Maxine Davidson Beckham passed away on Tuesday, July 19, 2016 surrounded by her 
loving family and faithful cat, Duchess. Services to honor her life will be at

151 where she was baptized as a child and was a lifelong member. Bro. Connie

Maxine could trace her family back for 4 generations. Arrangements are under 
the direction of Farrar Funeral Home in Farmerville.

Visitation will be 5-8pm Thursday at Farrar Funeral Home and Friday at

Maxine was born February 16, 1919 at home on her family's farm in Dubach, LA. 
She was welcomed into Heaven by her husband of 40 years, Harold H. Beckham, her 
mother, Mary Jane Davidson, her father, Samual Lane Davidson, sister, Allie 
Davidson Coots, brothers Horace and Liggin (Hoss) Davidson, her beloved son, 
Levy (tragically taken too soon at the early age of 24), infant granddaughter 
Mary Ann Beckham, and beloved son-in-law Dr. George Seiden who she considered a 
son.

Left to cherish her memory and lots of wisdom are her six children: Madison 
Lane (Matt) Beckham & wife, Patricia (Pat), Rebecca Jane (Becky) Seiden, Hazel 
Lucille Robertson, Harold H. Beckham, Jr., Drucilla Nolan & husband Harry, 
George Terry Beckham & wife, Wanda. Maxine was blessed with 17 grandchildren, 
32 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren. She is also survived 
by special friend and caregiver, John Trath.

Maxine loved her large family and was happiest when they were all together with 
her, her many cats and dogs and her flower garden. It was said she could put a 
stick in the ground and it would grow. Her daylily bed was admired by all.

Honoring Maxine as pallbearers will be her grandsons, Tim Beckham, Joseph 
Merritt, Jr., Stacy Beckham, John Levy Beckham, Cade Nolan, Micheal Nolan, Josh 
Beckham, and Jordan Harris.

The world and family lost a unique grand ole lady. A long life well lived.

Rest well, Mama, you deserve it.

The family requests memorials be made to Fellowship Baptist Church Building 
Fund, 6476 Hwy. 151, Dubach, LA 71235 or Nina's Road to Rescue No Kill Shelter,
