A good number attended the graveside service for Kevin Blake McDuffie at Evergreen Cemetery Wednesday, Sept. 8. He passed away Sept. 1, after a short illness in the Tomball Hospital. He was the son of Pam Johnson who survives him. He is also survived by his wife Kristi, several grandchildren, his grandmother Ima Myrle Burns McDuffie and several aunts and uncles. Remember all of them in your prayers.
Funeral services for Sammie Sue Farris Isbell were held at Iola Missionary Baptist Church Friday, Sept. 10. Isbell passed away Aug. 30, in her home with family by her side. She was born Sept. 26, 1926, the only child of Floyd Sidney and Ella Ophelia Farris. She married A.A. Isbell Jr. in 1946 and together they had five children. They remained on the family farm and their children graduated from Iola High School and went to college. Sue and W.A. completed their working careers at Texas A&M University.
She was buried in Concord Cemetery where her husband, daughter Sandy and other family members are also buried. Following the service those in attendance were served a meal at the Iola Community Center. Remember all of her family members in your prayers.
