MAYVONNE WILLIAMS WILKINSON

Mayvonne Williams Wilkinson, age 94, passed from this life on August 16, 2017 
at Lagniappe Health Care, Bastrop, LA. A celebration of her life will be held 
at 3:00 PM Saturday, August 19, 2017, in the chapel of Mulhearn Funeral Home, 
Sterlington Road, Monroe, with Rev. Ron Thomas of First Baptist Church of 
Swartz officiating. Graveside services will follow at Christ Church Cemetery in 
Bastrop, LA. Visitation will be from 2:00 PM until service time Saturday.

Mayvonne was a very outgoing character and never met a stranger. She enjoyed 
her Sunday School Class and singing in the choir. A summer obsession was 
visiting the farmers' markets, buying produce and fruit for canning, which she 
mastered. A collection of recipes and cookbooks assisted her pleasure of 
entertaining her church and family. Her sewing machine was a treasure. Baby 
clothes and quilts were her specialty. Fishing with Earl was a shared love. Her 
hushpuppies were the best! When she was confined at home, her favorite pastime 
was listening to gospel music, i.e., Gaithers, Oak Ridge Boys, Blackwood 
Brothers, Jim Reeves, and watching Lawrence Welk and old western movies.

Mayvonne was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, Earl Charles 
Wilkinson; and her daughter, Nancy Ruth Keddy. She was the last survivor of 
eight Williams' siblings.

Survivors include daughters, Sharon Clopton of Perdido Key, FL, Loretta Ellis 
of Jackson, MS, Judi Little of Monroe, LA, and Cindy Strong of Woodbridge, VA. 
She left a legacy of 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grands and many nieces and 
nephews that she adored like her children.

She adored her sweet neighbors for over 40 years and lived alone until age 92.

Pallbearers are beloved members of our family: Edwin Little, Blake Little, Ryan 
Hughes, Keith Massey, Jimmie Marshall, and Steve Johnson.

The family wishes to extend gracious gratitude toward lagniappe Health Care in 
Bastrop for care and attention toward our mother; she especially loved 
Marcella, Penny, Opal, and many others.
