Willie Mae Weeks

Willie Mae Whitus (Bobbie) Weeks

Bobbie gained her heavenly wings on Sunday, September 6, 2026 very early in the morning. Bobbie married Dorles Weeks on May 22, 1948 and they enjoyed 74 years of marriage together until Dorles's passing on March 24, 2023. Bobbie has missed Dorles dearly since his passing and we know that reuniting with Dorles in the loving presence of Jesus is her ultimate joy.

Bobbie was born in Alba, Texas on May 20, 1929 to Harve Mac and Mattie Kimble Price Whitus. She was proceeded in death by her parents and sister, Donnie Louise Prather, brothers Olen Whitus, Clyde Whitus, Roy Whitus, and Everett Whitus.

Left to cherish her sweet memory are her daughters Donna Bishop (Allen) and Lana Gilliam (Bobby), three grandchildren: Melanie Henderson (Jason), Bobby Gilliam Jr., and Alison Farris (Wes), two great grandchildren: Hannah and Hadley Henderson, and nephews Mack Prather and Dean Prather.

Bobbie and Dorles raised their two daughters in Little Rock, Arkansas where they also worked together at Weeks Paint Company. Bobbie kept the books, filled all the administrative and billing roles, and served as Dorles's "right hand" growing the business to multiple locations.

Bobbie was strong in her Christian faith from an early age and stayed faithful in study and prayer until her final breath. She was very active at Geyer Springs Baptist Church for decades serving on several committees and volunteer efforts in the Little Rock community.

Bobbie and Dorles retired together and moved back to Alba in 1992. Bobbie enjoyed retirement by traveling, spending special time with friends, and gathering with her family. Her home was the Christmas "gathering spot" for her extended family who would travel far and wide to be together every Christmas.

Anyone who knows Bobbie knows she loved game shows, especially the Wheel of Fortune. You never called her or visited when "The Wheel" was on television. Bobbie found a window to the world through her phone. She enjoyed texting with friends, viewing pictures, and playing games. Bobbie was also able to keep track of her grandchildren and great grandchildren's sporting and coaching careers through her phone and it never left her side.

Bobbie had many special friends who visited and cared for her in her later years including Audrey, Renee and Andrew Viles (Bobbie's domino companion), Melba Kelly, Dianne Haisten, Vicki Atherton, Debbie Ringgold, Jean Lewers, Mike Humphries, and Ann and Dan Medlin.

The family would especially like to thank Joyce Margos for being Bobbie's guardian angel who cared for Bobbie with tremendous love and compassion.

Serving as pallbearers are Stephen Margos, David Margos, Dan Medlin, Mike Humphries, Michael Hunt, and Leon Anderson.

Services will be held at Beaty Funeral Home on Friday, September 11th at 1pm with visitation beginning at 12pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a contribution to Alba First Baptist Church where Bobbie was active until her health declined.

Jerry and Bonita Bradshaw Phillips

Graveside Service for Jerry Cleo Phillips and Bonita Faye Bradshaw Phillips

A graveside service to inter the ashes of Jerry Cleo Phillips and Bonita Faye Bradshaw Phillips will be held Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at Little Hope Cemetery in the Little Hope community near Winnsboro, Texas. A small reception will follow at Little Hope Baptist Church.

Jerry Cleo Phillips was born March 23, 1945, in San Diego, California, to Vernon Cleo Phillips and Cliffie Estell Jones Phillips. After his father’s discharge from the U.S. Navy, the family returned to Texas, living briefly in Houston before settling in the Little Hope community to be near family. Jerry attended Winnsboro schools, where he played football. His best friend, Jim Bob Weems, introduced him to Jim Bob’s cousin Bonita. Jerry first saw Bonita standing on the front porch with her mother in early 1963; Bonita later said they officially met on the school bus.

Bonita Faye Bradshaw, the only child of Everette Bradshaw and Inez Russom Bradshaw, was born June 22, 1947, in Mineola, Texas. She grew up in Wood County, attending small community elementary schools before junior high and high school in Winnsboro.

Jerry and Bonita were married September 6, 1963, at Little Hope Baptist Church. Later that year, with Bonita’s recently widowed mother Inez, they moved to the Dallas area. Jerry began work as a journeyman lineman with Dallas Power and Light at the age of nineteen. He continued with the company until 1976, then transferred to East Texas as a dragline operator and later pit foreman at Texas Utilities Martin Lake. After 37 years he retired, then worked another 15 years for the Texas Department of Transportation before retiring fully to spend more time with Bonita and family. For many years he also roofed houses on the side so Bonita could remain home to care for her mother and raise their children.

After the birth of their first child in 1964, Bonita worked at Collins Radio in Richardson, Texas, building radios for Bell Helicopters during the Vietnam War. She became a full-time homemaker following the birth of their second child in 1968.

Jerry and Bonita were saved and baptized together in 1972 and served together faithfully in numerous churches for the next 51 years. Jerry was a self-taught Bible scholar, deacon and later an ordained minister. Bonita began playing the piano at age 14 for Little Hope Baptist Church and served for many years as a church pianist. She was also a gifted Bible teacher and ministered in women’s, children’s and youth ministries.

They were the proud parents of Tammie Nell, Jerry Marcus, and Kelly Mechelle, and lovingly provided a home for Bonita’s mother, Inez Bradshaw, until her death in September 1980.

Jerry and Bonita celebrated 59 years of marriage before her death on January 27, 2023. Jerry continued serving as pastor of First Baptist Church in Beckville and cherished time with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, though he missed Bonita deeply. He passed away peacefully at their home of 48 years in Beckville on April 21, 2026. After nearly sixty years together, they are now reunited in the presence of the Lord. It was their expressed wish that their ashes be interred together at Little Hope Cemetery, where their parents and many dear family members rest.

Jerry and Bonita are survived by their children: Tammie Phillips Herndon and husband Brian of Rockwall, Texas; Jerry Marcus Phillips (late wife Ronna Johnson Phillips) of Gary, Texas; Kelly Mechelle Wallace of Arp, Texas. Grandchildren: Lauren Herndon Sheppard and husband Jon Jr. of Whitehouse, Texas; Amy Herndon Sheppard and husband Matt of Cypress, Texas; Ashley Phillips Bowen and husband Cody; Erin Phillips Cohorst and husband Stacey; Ryan Phillips; Rhett Phillips, all of Gary, Texas; Claire Wallace Ward and husband John of Arlington, Virginia; and Brice Wallace of Arp, Texas; Great-grandchildren: Kenley Alyse, Chloe Alexis, and Graham Kirby Sheppard of Whitehouse, Texas; Madison Kate, Emma Elizabeth, Eleanor Rose, and Henry Matthew Sheppard of Cypress, Texas; Jerry’s sister Cathy Phillips Lawson and husband Ron of Winnsboro, Texas.

They are also survived by their special “son” Chris White and wife Julie of Gary, Texas, and Chris and Julie’s children Lindsey Peeples and Jacob White.

Lifelong friends Kent and Donna Elliott and their children of Prosper, Texas; Mrs. Bettie Ross of Lake Cherokee, Texas; and their beloved church family at First Baptist Church of Beckville, Texas.

Memorials may be made to The Gideons International or the Little Hope Cemetery Association of Winnsboro, Texas.

Connie Revell

Cornelia (Fernandes) Revell, known by family and friends as "Connie", was born on November 12, 1929, in Falmouth, Massachusetts.

Growing up on Cape Cod, Connie loved the water and spent a great deal of time there with her friends and especially her nearest sister, Fran. She felt it was important to teach all of her grandchildren to swim and was active in local recreational swimming groups and made many friends in water aerobics activities.

After making her home in Winnsboro, Texas, she became an active member of Pine Street Baptist Church. Her devotion to God and generous spirit touched the lives of many, reflecting her deep-seated belief in the power of kindness and community.

In Massachusetts, Connie started her work career with New England Bell Telephone and remained employed as they merged and ultimately became Southwestern Bell. She interrupted her career to raise her family and then returned to work for ATT Telephone in Parsons KS when her kids were in high school. She followed jobs to Wichita, KS and Tulsa, OK and retired after a successful career as a Communications Supervisor with AT&T. Connie saw technology in communication change and learned new skills to remain valuable and relevant, and she exemplified dedication and professionalism throughout her life. Her legacy of hard work and commitment to excellence serves as an inspiration to all who knew her.

Though Connie is no longer with us, her spirit will forever remain in our hearts, guiding us with her love. Celebrating a well-lived life, we will carry her memory forward, honoring her legacy by embodying the values she held dear.

Sue was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. For 50 years, she worked as a hairdresser, and during those years, many of the people who sat in her chair became much more than customers-they became lifelong friends.

Sue loved gardening and being outdoors. She found happiness in working with her hands, tending to her plants, and enjoying the simple beauty of being outside.

Her faith was an important part of her life. Sue was an active member of Pineview Baptist Church, where she worshipped, served, and treasured the fellowship of her church family.

Sue was preceded in death by her parents, W.P. and Cora Gillis, her brother, Roddy Gillis; and her beloved son, Cary Lynn Spence, who passed away on August 26, 2025.

Sue's life cannot be measured simply by the years she lived, but by the family she raised, the people she cared for, the friendships she made, the seeds she planted, and the love she leaves behind. Her family will forever remember the woman who helped make them who they are, and her memory will live on through the generations that follow her.
