A celebration of life for Dorothy Collinson Ree Snow, 98, of Ferriday, LA will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026 at the Ridgecrest Baptist Church in the fellowship hall from 10AM to 12PM.

Dorothy was born on Monday, May 23, 1927 in Hazlehurst, MS and passed away Saturday, April 4, 2026 in Ferriday, LA surrounded by loved ones. Dorothy was a godly woman who loved her Lord and Savior with all her heart, and her faith guided her every step. She found joy and strength in attending Ridgecrest Baptist Church and being a devoted member of the Women’s Love Circle, where she built lasting friendships.

In her quieter moments, Dorothy enjoyed watching soap operas and westerns, simple pleasures that brought her comfort. She had a true servant’s heart and was a dedicated caregiver, lovingly taking care of her mother and her grandsons, whom she adored deeply.

Dorothy was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. She gave her love freely and unconditionally, always putting her family first. A simple woman at heart, she treasured time spent with those she loved most. Dorothy was truly loved by everyone who knew her, and her kindness and gentle spirit will be remembered always.

She is reunited with the love of her life, James Freeman Snow; parents, Thomas Henry Collinson, Sr. and Florence Jane Grayson; sons, James Sherman Snow and Charles Dwight Snow; and siblings, Annie Lee Delaney, William Henry Collinson, Louis Cecil Collinson, Doris Elaine Burgess, Nannie Lou Collinson, JW Collinson, and Johnnie Brownell Collinson.

Those left to cherish Dorothy's memories are her daughter-in-law, Sharon Snow of Vidalia, LA; grandsons, Alaric Snow & his wife Alex of South Haven, MS, Michael Snow of Vidalia, LA, Travis Snow & his wife Xexis of Vidalia, LA, and Brannon Snow & his wife Karen of Vidalia, LA, great-grandchildren, Julian, Jacob, Spencer, Daxton, Kale, Amelia, Aeris, and Jayson; and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends.

Funeral services for George Clark Walker, Jr., 82 of Waterproof, LA will be held at Clayton Baptist Church at 11 AM on Tuesday, April 7, 2026 with Bro. Emile Bordelon officiating. Internment will follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park Cemetery under the direction of Young's Funeral Home. The family will receive friends at the church before the service from 10 AM until 11PM.

George was born on Saturday, April 10, 1943 in Opelika, AL and passed away Friday, April 3, 2026 at his home in Waterproof, LA. He was a man whose life was marked by faith, service, and hard work. As a member of the Army Reserves, he served his country with quiet strength and dedication. At Clayton Baptist Church, George was known as the “amen section,” never shy to lift his voice in praise, reflecting his deep love for the Lord as a born-again Christian.

George wore many hats throughout his life—mechanic, fuel truck driver, farmer, and skilled bobcat operator, among many other things—approaching each role with diligence and pride. He found joy in simple pleasures, collecting car magazines and surrounding himself with music of all kinds, these brought him so much joy through the years with his loving family.

Today, we find comfort knowing George is with the Lord he loved so dearly, finally at peace.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George Clark & Mary Dorothy Walker, and his daughter Sharon Ann Walker.

Those left to honor his memory are his wife of 52 years, Ann Mize Walker of Waterproof, LA and two brothers, Tony Walker and his wife Kay of Richmond, VA and Allen Walker and his wife Kimberly of Auburn, AL, and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Those honoring George as Pallbearers will be Matt Long, Mason Long, MJ Long, Brad Fife, Mason Fife, and Derrick Aucoin.

Honorary Pallbearers will be Clinton Sweat and Guy Long.

On this Easter Sunday, we reflect on the hope and new life found in the resurrection of Jesus. The tomb is empty, and through Him, we are reminded that love and life endure beyond even death.

"He is not here; he is risen, just as he said." — Matthew 28:6

May this day bring peace, comfort, and the promise of eternal life for those who follow Him.

On this Good Friday, we reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus and the depth of His love for us. Even in sorrow, there is hope on the horizon.

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." — Isaiah 53:5

Take a moment today to remember His sacrifice and the promise of redemption to come.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joseph “Jody” Wayne Hayles, who left this world on March 25, 2026, at the age of 57.

Jody was a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and a man who never turned his back on those he loved. He was the kind of person who always showed up—no matter the situation. Whether it was for his parents, his siblings, our family or just anyone in need, he was there without hesitation, offering his time, his strength, and his heart.

For nearly 30 years, Jody worked as a store manager for Dairy Queen, where he built not only a career but lasting relationships with those he worked alongside and served. His dedication, work ethic, and leadership left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Above all, Jody was a family man. He was a loving and dedicated husband to his wife, Chrissy Hayles, and a proud father to Kory Hayles, Kirstin Hayles, and Caroline Case. He found so much joy in being a grandfather to Jase Harveston, Briar Day, Henry Case, and Theo Case. His love for his family ran deep, and he poured everything he had into being there for them.

Jody had a deep love for the outdoors. He loved hunting and fishing and especially enjoyed spending that time with his daughters and grandchildren, creating memories that will be cherished forever.

He is also survived by his parents, Lynda and Jerry Hayles; his siblings, Callye Hayles, Jerry Hayles, and Ashley Jackson; along with many extended family members and loved ones who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

Jody will be remembered for his unwavering loyalty, his strong heart, and the way he impacted so many lives—often more than he ever realized. His presence was a constant source of comfort and strength, and his love will continue to live on through his family.

A visitation will be held on March 29, 2026, at 1:00 PM, followed by a funeral service at 2:00 PM at Laird Funeral Home. A graveside service will follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park in Natchez, Mississippi.

Pallbearers will be Mark Fitzpatrick, Todd West, Jeremy Jackson, Shelby Case, Zack Day, and Mark Harveston. Honorary pallbearers will be Gary Petty, Jase Harveston, and Wendel Melton.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that the love Jody gave will never leave us. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched and the family he loved so deeply.

Today we want to take a moment to honor the men and women who have served our country with courage and sacrifice. 🇺🇸

At Greenlawn, we are especially proud to remember James R. Beasley, the original owner of Greenlawn Memorial Park. James was a World War II veteran who was awarded the Purple Heart, and his legacy of service and dedication continues to be part of the story of this place.

In his honor, we would love to hear about the veterans who are special to you.

If you have a veteran you love and remember, whether they are laid to rest at Greenlawn or somewhere else, we invite you to share their name and something about their service or the person they were in the comments.

Their stories deserve to be remembered. 🇺🇸🤍

03/23/2026

We’ve officially picked the area of the property where we’ll be clearing space for something very special—our new columbarium and scattering garden. 🌿

A columbarium is a peaceful, permanent resting place designed for the respectful placement of cremation urns, offering families a beautiful space to visit and remember their loved ones. Our scattering garden will provide a serene, natural setting for those who choose to have ashes scattered in a meaningful and dignified way.

We are honored to continue growing and improving our grounds to better serve the families in our community—creating spaces that bring comfort, reflection, and lasting remembrance. More updates to come as we bring this vision to life. 🤍
