WILLIAM MATTHEWS HEMBREE

William Matthews Hembree was born on February 11, 1929 in New Orleans, LA and 
went to be with his Lord and Savior on the night of July 6, 2016 in West 
Monroe, LA. William (aka Bill) was a member of McClendon Baptist Church. He 
faithfully served the Lord all his life. Bill enlisted in the United States Air 
Force in Oct 1946 and retired as a Master Sergeant after 27 years of service. 
Bill enjoyed a second career as a mechanic for Pohlman & Wilbanks. Bill was a 
strong and loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, and 
uncle. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother, one son, and one 
grandson.

Bill is survived by his wife Melva, his children, Jeff Hembree and his wife 
Lisa, Debbie Russell and her husband Harold, Johnny Hembree and his wife Kim; 
grandchildren, Cole Russell and his wife Mollye, Austin Russell and Katie 
Wilcox, Heather LaRoux; and numerous nieces, nephews, great grandchildren and 
extended family.

Bill opted to forego a funeral, and in his continued generous spirit, has 
donated his body to science in hopes that others will continue to learn from 
him. Visitors will be accepted at his residence on Friday, July 8, 2016 and 
Saturday, July 9, 2016.

If desired, expressions of sympathy may be made in the form of bibles donated 
to Gideons or any other charity of choice . Bill loved a giving spirit and was 
very pleased when he bared witness to the charitable acts of others. Bill's 
lasting legacy is that others will hopefully follow the Lord as he has.
