Marion Louise Bennett Mills was born on August 11, 1922 in Caldwell Parish to 
the union of her loving parents, Felix Bruce Bennett and Laura Elizabeth Finley 
Bennett, and she passed from this life on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at her 
residence following an extended illness.

She was preceded in death by the absolute love of her life, Rev. K. D. Mills, 
her parents, one brother, A.J. Bennett and one sister, Mildred Bennett Lively. 
Rev. and Mrs. Mills were married December 23, 1939 and devoted their lives to 
the work of God. That spiritual journey began in Rio Dell, California shortly 
after their marriage where he served as youth pastor. They returned to 
Louisiana in 1943 and continued their ministry as pastor at Big Ridge 
Pentecostal Church. They answered God's call and accepted the pastorate at 
Clarks United Pentecostal Church in 1956, where Bro. Dee continued to pastor 
until his death in 1985. Sister Louise continued her dedication to the Clarks 
church until her death. She was devoted to leading the Ladies Auxiliary as they 
worked tirelessly to raise money for the building fund. Everyone will always 
remember the cakes, pies, plate lunches, sandwiches, doughnuts and the infamous 
Pentecostal peanut brittle. The community will forever remember that the doors 
of their home were always open and there was always room at the table for 
whoever wanted or needed a safe haven, or just a good meal.

She leaves behind three daughters, Margaret and her husband, Pete Lively; 
Dianne Hughes; and Wanda and her husband, Wayne Stowe; seven grandchildren: 
Danny Lively, Tommy Lively, Phyllis Lively Ballard, Scott Lively, Monica 
Russell Liberatore, Randall Russell, and Lauralee Stowe; thirteen great-
grandchildren and seventeen great-great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind 
one sister, Maureen Bennett Brownell; three brothers: Joe, Robert, and Ronald 
Bennett, fifteen nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

Pallbearers include Ben Lively, Blake Wheeler, T.J. Lively, Brandon Lively, 
Ryan Ballard, Jeremy Hair, Colt Lively, Shannon Varnell and Dustin Russell.
