DONNIS EZELL

Funeral Service for Mrs. Donnis Ezell, 87, of Gilbert, LA will take place on 
Saturday, July 11th, 2015, 2:00 in the afternoon, at Turkey Creek Baptist 
Church with Dr. Bill Robertson, Bro. Kyle Spinks, Bro. Don Blackmon, Bro. Dale 
Goodman and Bro. Jerry Hunt officiating. Interment will follow at Turkey Creek 
Baptist Church Cemetery, under the direction of Young's Community Memorial 
Funeral Home in Winnsboro, LA. Mrs. Donnis was born on September 4, 1927 and 
passed away on July 7, 2015. She went by other names: Don, Mama, Mamaw, Mother, 
Aunt Punk, Baby Sis, Granny, Mamoo, Morgan and of course, Lizzie- named after a 
cookie that's described as all good things rolled into one. In her quiet, no-
nonsense way, she took care of her children, their friends, preachers and 
families, never knowing exactly how many would show up for a meal. Whether 
tomato gravy and biscuits or dumplings with sweet tea, she made sure everyone 
was satisfied, always before herself. She was able and devoted partner to 
Morgan Ezell, which is probably what kept her close to God. She is preceded in 
death by her husband, Morgan Ezell, Sr.; parents, Lee and Roxie Whittington 
McIntyre; Sister, Sis Williamson; brothers, Pete, Coop, Man, Shorty, Teedy and 
Bud McIntyre; grandchildren, Morgan Ezell, III, Dennis Hemphill and Jennifer 
Robertson; great-grandchildren, Angel Martinez and Rayanna Hodge.

She leaves behind to cherish precious memories her son, Morgan Ezell, Jr. 
(Lavonne) of Springfield, MO; daughters, Peggy Hemphill of Monroe, LA, Elaine 
McKay (Ken) of Archibald, LA, Reba Ezell of Gilbert, LA, Linda Robertson (Bill) 
of Winnsboro, LA, Melissa Savage (Bob) of Alexandria, LA; special daughter, Jan 
Boles of Jigger, LA and brother, Ball McIntyre of Gilbert, LA. She also leaves 
behind 19 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great-grandchild and 
numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends. Pallbearers will be Michael 
Hemphill, Steven Hemphill, Chris Hemphill, Hugh Hodge, Trey Robertson, Elliott 
Maples and Scott McKay and Scott Ezell. Honorary Pallbearers will be Michael 
Woods, Gene Brown, Dale McLemore and Riley McLemore. The family will receive 
friends for visitation on Saturday, July 11th from 11:00 until 2:00 PM at the 
church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the 
Turkey Creek Baptist Church Building Fund.
