LENA R. PRICE

Funeral services for Lena R. Price, 89, of Winnsboro will be held Friday, 
January 8, at 2 p.m. at Gill First National Funeral Home of Winnsboro.

Visitation will be held at the funeral home beginning at noon on Friday, 
January 8, prior to the service.

Rev. Frances Guy will officiate, with interment to follow at Chase Cemetery.

Lena was born October 1, 1926 and passed away on January 6, 2016 surrounded by 
family at her home in Winnsboro.

Lena was born in Oak Grove and lived in Delhi before her family moved to 
Winnsboro in the early 1940s. She was a 1943 graduate of Winnsboro High School, 
and attended business college in Monroe following graduation.

Lena was married for 59 years to her late husband, Paul P. Price, who passed 
away in 2009. She was a homemaker for most of her married life, as well as an 
accomplished artist who enjoyed hand painting special occasion cards for her 
friends and family.

She also was a longtime member of the Garden Gate Study Club.

Lena had a unique personality and spirit, and those close to her could share 
many stories of things she did and said, because she always made it clear where 
she stood on things. She loved her family very much, and was loved in return by 
those who knew her best.

Lena had a great sense of humor, and family members and friends always had 
plenty to talk about when they gathered.

Lena was predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Paul P. Price; her parents, 
Mary and Adolph Radau; her daughter, Pamela Louise Price McWilliams, and an 
infant brother.

Lena is survived by a son, Paul P. Price, Jr. and wife Lindy of Winnsboro; five 
grandchildren; Heather Price Jemerson and fiancé Randy Thornhill of Winnsboro; 
Emily McWilliams Palmer and husband John of West Monroe; "Trey" Price and wife 
Beth of Winnsboro; Maria McWilliams Tyler and husband Ryan of West Monroe; and 
Patrick McWilliams and wife Jordan of West Monroe.

She is also survived by ten great-grandchildren, Hannah and Jacob Jemerson, 
Meagan and Mason Palmer, Camryn and Keegan Price, Pamela Blake Tyler, and 
Isabell, Alex and Zoey McWilliams.

She is also survived by two step-grandchildren, Nikki Stewart of Winnsboro and 
Chris Lewis of Cullman, Alabama, and their families.

Pallbearers will be Patrick McWilliams, John Palmer, Trey Price, Robert 
Stewart, Randy Thornhill, and Ryan Tyler.

The family would like to thank Dr. Jeffrey Combetta for his loving care and 
compassion over the past several years. He often went the extra mile to tend to 
her needs, and the family will be forever grateful. In addition, the staff at 
Franklin Medical Center provided her wonderful care during her later years.

The family would also like to thank Lena's primary caregiver, Brittney Moses, 
for her care since September. Brittney's compassion and love for Lena will 
forever be remembered by her family.

Additionally, the care given by her home health nurses and attendants over the 
past several years was of great comfort to Lena and her family and was greatly 
appreciated, particularly "Mrs. Rosie" Dickens, who always managed to wrangle a 
smile from her even on her worst days.
