Date of Birth: 5 Mar 1954
Date of Death: 5 Feb 2021
Strong Cemetery - Church Hill, TX
Marcus Page Bennett, 66, of Henderson, Texas, passed away Friday, February 5, 2021. He was born on March 5, 1954, in Longview, Texas, the eldest son of Page and Dorothy Bennett. He attended schools in Longview and graduated from Longview High School in 1972 where he was active in FFA and spent many hours at his love of restoring cars, culminating in the completion of his 1969 Plymouth GTX. Influenced to a great degree by his father’s and grandfather’s cattle activities, he also won competitions in raising registered Hereford cattle during his high school FFA years. He continued his education and received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University in 1976, majoring in Journalism and English. He later received his teaching certification from Stephen F. Austin University.
Marcus had a passion for writing, the written word, and also enjoyed photography. He began his adult life’s journey as a reporter for Longview News in 1977, learning much from the late Margaret Estes about the world of news. His various experiences also included advertising, sales, case manager for the disabled, tending cattle, and later in life, was a teacher. He taught in various East Texas Schools including Longview, Henderson, Nacogdoches, Carlisle, and Texas College. No matter what his circumstances, what life’s battle he may be facing, or where ever God had placed him; Marcus’s compassion and willingness to help others was ever present from his early days until his last. That, along with his open and outgoing, friendly nature endeared him to many who grew to know him. God eventually planted him in Henderson where he loved his many friends, neighbors, and continued his faithful Christian walk with the fellowship of the New Life Church congregation. The family wishes to express its thanks to the help and support of Ms. Dorothy Glasscock, and her family, for their friendship to Marcus over the past many years, and to his family during this time.

He loved tinkering with his golf game, reading and sitting on his dock with a glass of wine in the evening. He loved Texas Longhorn football...especially the second Saturday in October every year. Henry was a devout Christian with faith in God’s plan, even at the end. Henry was a family man who will be dearly missed.
Visitation will be Wednesday, January 26th from 6:00-8:00pm at Rader Funeral Home. Funeral service will be Thursday, January 27th at 12:00pm at Centre Presbyterian Church.

Wilson - Etta Faye Wilson
1954 - 2022
Dallas, TX
Date of Birth: 10 Jul 1954
Date of Death: 23 Jan 2022
Jordon Valley Cemetery - Longview, TX
July 10, 1954, is when I was born at Good Shepherd Hospital in Longview, Texas. Truly, I became a bundle of joy for my parents William (W.D.) and Kathryn (Kat) Wilson. My grandmother Etta Mae Davis suggested that I should be named after her. Thus, I had the honor of carrying a legacy name by becoming Etta Faye Wilson. Today, each generation in our family has an “Etta”. Why? Etta Mae was named after her mother Etta “Elizabeth” Carr. When Etta Mae had a daughter, she named her Mae Etta. Then, it was I, Etta Faye. Therefore, I named my daughter Portia Etta. Once Portia Etta had a daughter, she named her Kierstyn Mari-Etta. My sister Billie Kay also named her daughter Earletta to continue the legacy.
In the Wilson Family, nine children came to be. First was Billie Kaye, and she was named after our parents. Next in line was me, Etta Faye. Soon after, there was Ralph Craig who was going to be named Valentino if he had been born on Valentine’s Day. Thirteen months later, Judy Carol was born. This is why Ralph and Judy called themselves "Twins”. We were only the beginning. We are all deceased. The End has come for us.
The Wilsons eventually moved to Dallas, Texas where William Leon and Janet Sue were born. Years later, back in Longview, more children were welcomed: Tomas Earl (deceased at 24) was named after our grandfather, Tom L. Davis. Tomas has a son, Tomas Lavell, another legacy. Five years later, Terri Lynn came to be. Last of all the children, Marlon Randall became our brother. Our mother described him as a surprise, a good surprise.
Our mother and grandmother took us to church all the time. In Longview, I grew up in New Zion Missionary Baptist Church where Rev. Robert N. Hundley pastors. As an adult living in Dallas, I joined Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church under Rev. Coumpy. Then, I moved my membership to Words of Faith Missionary Baptist Church. In fact, I have always been a part of churches that teach the WORD. Presently, I am a member of Greater Garden Baptist Church where Rev. A. Cox is pastor. My other church affiliations include New Testament Word Church, Pastor Doris Brown; DCOM, Pastor E. Brown; and Charisma Church of God in Christ, Pastor B. G. Lee; and Greater Mt. Herman Missionary Baptist Church, Pastor J. Criss.
In 1972, I graduated from Longview High School at the top of my class. Before Longview High School, I attended Fannie C. Harris (Dallas), 1st and 2nd grades. Back in Longview, I went to East Ward Elementary. Maggie B. Hudson Jr. High and Mary C. Womack High. Because I was determined to go to college, I was accepted at East Texas State University in Commerce, TX. In 1973, I pledged Delta Sigma Theta and graduated in 1976. After college, I moved back to Longview, looking to start a career.
I was told of an opportunity available at Missouri Pacific Railroad Company. They needed to hire females. Yes, I was the first woman hired. However, this was not my calling. So, I quit to become a teacher. Starting out at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in 1980. The Hutch is too much was an expression always chanted that exudes pride. Then years later, I was employed by Dallas Independent School District. My school assignments were Adamson High School, Comprehensive Evening High School, L. G. Pinkston High School, and Thomas Edison Middle School.
I retired in 2008, a total of 27 year in education. I will be remembered in the hearts of my loving children, Chad (Ashley) and Portia; siblings: Jan, Terri (Kevin), William and Marlon; grandchildren: Kierstyn, Christian, Elijah, Ashton, Sanijah and Stanford, Jr.; two first cousins, ten nephews, five nieces, numerous friends, friends like family, and other relatives, especially my Uncle Sanders Carr, Jr.

Restland Cemetery - Dallas, TX
Booth, Robert Early 1954 - 2013: Robert Early "Bobby" Booth went to be with his Lord and Savior on August 19, 2013. A beloved husband, father, and brother, Bobby embodied selflessness and generosity. He was a bright light that illuminated the best in each of us.
Bobby was a devoted father to his two children, son Stuart, a physician in Birmingham, Alabama, and daughter Peyton who followed her father into architecture. Step-son Clint is a sophomore at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. A doting husband, Bobby supported his wife Terrie's desire to compete nationally with the American Quarter Horse Association, and himself became an admirer of equestrian sports. A principal at HKS architects in Dallas, Bobby was the youngest to be elevated to partner in the firm's history. Ever punctual, Bobby lived up to his middle name, graduating a year early from Texas Tech's five-year architecture program. His entire professional career was spent with HKS, and he was instrumental in building the company into the internationally recognized firm it is today. Bobby served as principal-in-charge of projects in more than 104 cities and 16 countries. Bobby's philanthropy and character were well known throughout our community. He and Terrie were devoted to many causes, but were most passionate about their work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of North Texas, an organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. In 2008, Bobby and Terrie served as Honorary Chairs for the annual Wish Night gala and fundraiser, which raised more than $1,021,000 and supported more than 170 wishes that year. Bobby was born April 16, 1954 in Longview, Texas. He is survived by his wife Terrie Brewer Booth of Dallas, Texas; his son James Stuart Booth of Birmingham, Alabama; his daughter Peyton Booth of Dallas, Texas; his step-son Clint Ator of Dallas, Texas; his brother Stuart Lee Booth of Longview, Texas; his sister Leanne McCarty of Plano, Texas; and sister Victoria Booth of Colorado.

We would like for all those who knew Blake and loved him like we do, to know just how much each and every one of you meant to him. Every person he called friend and every project that he chose to give of his time to, he absolutely loved with all his heart and soul. He did so much for his community and has left behind a piece of himself with everyone and everything he touched. As you read this loving memory of him, please let your memory go back and remember all of these times spent with Blake and know how much he blessed all of our lives with his short time here with us. Blake's love was unconditional. His love was binding. His greatest love in his life was his family. He so loved spending time with his wife, Suzanne, and especially with his boys. They were his greatest accomplishment in life. That is where he wanted to spend all his time, with his boys, looking forward to watching them become husbands and fathers. He will always be watching over them, now and forever.

Burial will follow in Rosewood Park. Marc passed away Sunday, November 2, 2014, following a brief illness.
Tillman Marc Perkins was born on April 22, 1954, in Longview, Texas, to Tillman and Jean Perkins. He grew up in Longview and was a 1972 graduate of Longview High School. He attended Kilgore College and then graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. Marc attended and graduated from St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio. He began his career in Midland, Texas, working for Magnatex Oil Co. After the birth of his first child, Marc and his young family moved to San Antonio where he continued to practice law.
Marc was a man who loved his family and friends and who lived life to its fullest. He was never one to be idle when there was something he could be doing. Getting an education was so important, but he also dedicated himself to giving back whenever possible. Marc was so proud to have served his high school as student body president, his junior college as Rangerette manager and his university as president of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
He continued this belief while living in San Antonio. He served as an usher for Alamo Heights Methodist Church and was a member of various organizations. However, nothing was more enjoyable to him than coaching the athletic teams of his children and supporting them in all their activities.
Marc “came home” in 2006 and fulfilled his dream of living on the lake while continuing his law practice. He immediately became part of the neighborhood to his many friends on Hickory Lane at Lake Cherokee. Lengthy conversations took place regarding special fishing spots and the best way to grow a successful garden. Anyone fortunate enough to be a friend of Marc’s had a friend for life.
Marc is survived by his children, Jamie Elizabeth Perkins of Fort Worth, Kevin Tillman Perkins of San Antonio and Kenzie Leigh Perkins of Gunnison, Colorado; mother, Jean Perkins of Longview; sister and brother-in-law, Pam and Brent Taylor of Longview; nieces and nephews, Kiley and Harrison Taylor of Longview, Cristen Brandvik, Carne Crowder and Wesley Bunch of San Antonio.
He was preceded in death by his father, Tillman Perkins; and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. M.H. Shivers and Mr. and Mrs. H.W. Clem.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course. I have kept the Faith.” ~ 2 Timothy 4:7.
Honoring Marc and serving as his pallbearers will be Robert Bailey, Craig Bivins, Jeb Blount, Johnny Collier, David Elkins, Jim Heller, Jack Lebus, Kent Lowery and Dr. James Wilcox.
Memorials may be made to the American Heart Association.

Wood - Johnny Hammond 1954 - 1970Longview, TX I moved to Longview between the 7th and 8th grades from Louisiana. I attended Forest Park Jr High where I made a lot of new friends, Kent Taylor, Celeste Jo Ellis, Ann, Bill Caton, Rachael Miller, John Ross. Most from my neighborhood. Johnny Wood played basketball. He was a tall guy and just a really nice human being. Kicked our butts on the court. Went to church with him, went on mission trips, etc.
I think it was in our Sophomore year at LHS that he had a heart episode while at practice I believe. Not sure they could figure out what was wrong with him, but he passed out. About a year later he was on one of those church trips and was swimming, struggled to get out of the pool and died. We hear about kids falling out on the athletic fields all across America. There is even a coach on trial right now a teen dying at a practice. I remember our, Parkview Baptist, being packed for his funeral. He was a close friend I still remember once in a while. I think maybe it is because I had a 17 year old neice who just died in her sleep. They did eventually figure out what it was, something called Long QT syndrome.
Sort of makes me think about an old Japanese saying. "Ichi-e, Ichi-go" Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come, live in this moment. ~Jim Mantrozos
From the Lobos 1972 Yearbook
Johnny Wood was a friend to many people in many different ways. There was, however, a special common denominator present in an all of these friendships. Johnny's smile was the first thing that impressed a person. His enthusiasm and "sparkle"' was delightful as well as contagious. If one were fortunate enough to have known Johnny well, he soon displayed many other fine qualities. He consistently displayed admirable character and dedication to his family, to his school, and to his country. Johnny was an athlete, a competitor, and a person with courage and perseverance to reach his own high standards. Johnny possessed a spiritual relationship with his God that he exhibited daily by the way he lived. He was a special friend. We loved him. We will remember him.
