Family was always Cecilia’s highest priority.

A gifted seamstress, she retired from Walls Drapery and Upholstery. Over the course of her career she crafted drapes, trims, and intricate embellishments for commercial spaces, including theaters, and created custom shades and curtains for film productions.
She loved the outdoors, especially fishing and camping. She and her husband shared a passion for travel, frequently visiting Florida, exploring the mountains, and camping at nearly every campground across the state of Mississippi.

In addition to her parents Cecilia was preceded in death by her sister, Bonnie Knight.

She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Phillip Poe; daughter, Brandy Martin and husband Matthew; son, Chris Poe and wife Carrie; grandchildren, Christopher Poe, Canna Poe, Brianna Poe, and Patrick Martin; great-grandchildren, Mason and Waylon Duran; sisters, Kathy Wood, and Gail Ainsworth and husband Ralph; brothers, Freddy Owens and wife Shannon, and Kenny Owens and wife Theresa; and several nieces, nephews, and friends.

Richard Steven Garner, 77, of Brandon, entered into eternal peace on March 17, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Rick, as he was affectionately known by family and friends, was born on August 15, 1948, in Kosciusko, Mississippi, to John Dextral Garner and Velma Ruth Taylor. He never met a stranger, only friends he hadn’t yet laughed with. His humor was quick, his presence magnetic, and his life, anything but ordinary.

On July 24, 1977, he met Candace Elaine Johnson, the greatest love of his life. Rick & Elaine married on January 24, 1980, building a life rich in love, raising a daughter, and later delighting in the joy of two grandsons who carry his legacy forward.

Rick graduated from Provine High School in 1966 and from Auburn University in 1971, where he studied Architecture and Building Construction. At Auburn, he wasn’t just a student, he was a force! A proud member of Delta Sigma Phi, President of his pledge class, and lead guitarist in the fraternity band, he lived with rhythm, leadership, and a deep love for the Auburn spirit. “War Eagle” wasn’t just a phrase, it was part of his identity.

Rick was a lifelong entrepreneur, always building, & always creating. In 1978, he founded Rick Garner Designer and Premier Homes. Over the next five decades, he designed and built homes for thousands of families across the Jackson metro area, throughout the country, and into Canada. Entire neighborhoods stand as a quiet testament to his vision, places where families gather, grow, and make a life. Throughout the years, he also contributed to the design and development of commercial properties across the Jackson metro area.

But Rick wasn’t built to live in just one world.

Music was his passion, one of the places he felt most alive and most himself. He began playing guitar in college and went on to play in bands on and off throughout his life, always ready to pick up a guitar, jam, and share it with others. He wrote songs, played with heart, and followed inspiration wherever it led.

In 1982, he founded Terminal Recording Studios in Pearl, Mississippi, bringing his love of music into a space where others could create and be heard. By 1996, he had custom designed and built a state-of-the-art studio in Ridgeland, Mississippi, expanding that vision even further. He also founded the gospel record label, Burning Bush Records, reflecting both his passion for music and his heart behind it. One of his proudest moments came in 2001, when he was part of the Grammy Award-winning Album of the Year soundtrack for O Brother, Where Art Thou. For Rick, music was never just a pastime, it was a lifelong expression of who he was.
And then there was history.

Rick had a deep and enduring passion for Civil War research, an intellectual and personal pursuit that carried him across battlefields, into archives, and through the pages of time. He didn’t just study history, he walked it. With his wife by his side, he traveled to historic sites, bringing the past to life through storytelling and quiet reverence. He was a published author and was actively writing on The Battle of Chancellorsville at the time of his passing.
Rick also gave generously to the preservation of history, contributing thousands of books from his personal collection to support the library at the Brice’s Crossroads Foundation. His love of knowledge was expansive, and he shared it freely.

In quieter moments, Rick found discipline and strength through martial arts, earning a first Dan Black Belt in Hapkido and Tae Kwon Do, another reflection of his depth, focus, and drive.
He lived fully. He built boldly. He loved deeply.

Rick is preceded in death by his parents and sister, Janice Elaine Garner Harvey.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 46 years, Candace Elaine Garner; his daughter, Elizabeth Ashley Garner Drake and her husband, Jason Laverne Drake; and his two grandsons, Richard William Garner Mainka and Lucian Alexander Drake, each a continuation of his story, his spirit, and his name.

A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

In honor of Rick’s generous and expansive life, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to a charity of your choice or to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

In Loving Memory of
Hilda Ann Haymer Rucker
Sunrise: February 7, 1954
Sunset: March 8, 2026

Obituary

Hilda Ann Haymer Rucker, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2026, surrounded by the love of her four daughters. She was born on February 7, 1954, in Benton, Mississippi, to her mother Lula Mae Deener, stepfather Roe Deener, and father Sylvester Clark (deceased). She was lovingly raised by her grandparents, Lillie Bell Haymer and Harry Haymer, whose guidance, faith, and steady presence shaped the foundation of her life.

Hilda accepted Christ and was baptized at a young age while attending Gailee M.B. Church, where her lifelong faith first took root. In the mid‑1970s, she married and moved to Chicago, Illinois, where she became the proud mother of her four daughters. She later moved to Jackson, Mississippi, where she united with Greater Mt. Sinai Baptist Church and joyfully sang in the gospel choir. Upon relocating to Louisville, Kentucky, she became a devoted member of Cable Baptist Church, serving faithfully as an usher and continuing to share her gift of song in the choir.

She attended Lynnwood Elementary School and graduated from Benton High School in 1973. That same summer, she furthered her education at Draughon’s Business College, demonstrating her determination, ambition, and commitment to building a meaningful future.

A woman of courage and conviction, Hilda was part of the first class in Yazoo County to integrate schools, standing strong during a pivotal moment in civil rights history. She was a dedicated member of her high school band and a popular young woman known for her confidence, loyalty, and fierce protection of her younger brothers. As the oldest sibling, she stood tall for them—earning the nickname “Black Gal”—and never backed down when it came to family.

Hilda’s work ethic began early, starting in her teens at a family‑owned barbecue restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee. She later dedicated more than a decade of her life to caring for others through her work at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where she served as a nursing assistant. She eventually became a lead nursing assistant on the pediatrics and surgical floors, roles in which her compassion, patience, and steady presence touched countless lives. During this time, she formed lifelong friendships—women who became her sisters in Christ, supporting one another as mothers, friends, and prayer partners. Their bond remained unbroken by distance or time.

After moving to Louisville, Hilda worked for the United States Postal Service for several years. In 1990, she joined the University of Louisville as a psychiatric nursing assistant, where she built new friendships and continued her calling to care for others until her retirement.

Following retirement, Hilda embraced her entrepreneurial spirit and became the proud owner of Emily Dreams Wedding Planning, where her creativity, eye for décor, and love for beautiful celebrations shined.

Hilda lived in Benton, Yazoo City, Jackson Mississippi, Chicago, and Louisville, touching lives everywhere she went. She cherished her family deeply—especially her grandchildren, whom she taught to bake, create, and imagine. She always had a special project ready for them, filling their lives with joy, learning, and love.

A private and selective woman, Hilda loved deeply and trusted carefully. If she let you into her heart, you knew it was real. She loved to travel, and cruising was her favorite way to see the world. She had a natural gift for decorating—whether for her home or for events—and she was a true music lover. From soul and old‑school R&B to The Temptations and Charlie Wilson, music filled her days. But nothing compared to her love for band music, especially Jackson State University, where she dreamed of seeing her youngest daughter become a Jr. J‑SET.

Hilda was preceded in death by her brother Rayfield Williams. She is survived by her daughters Roshunder Rucker, Kirie Rucker, Tora Rucker (Arnold Gay), and Rasheedah Rucker; her mother Lula Mae Deener, her brothers Gary Williams (Marcella Williams), Terry Williams, Edwin Deener, and cousin‑brother Ronald Burton (Alfreda Burton); a host of grandchildren, great‑grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and best friends who became family.

Her legacy of strength, faith, love, and resilience will continue to live on in all who were blessed to know her.

Stanley dedicated many years of his life as a journeyman electrician and was a proud member of the IBEW Local Union 480. He retired from River Oaks Hospital and was known for his strong work ethic and the pride he took in providing for his family.

In his free time, Stanley enjoyed watching NASCAR, working on cars, hunting, and spending time outdoors. One of his greatest joys in life was taking beach vacations with his family—moments that created lasting memories for everyone who loved him.

Stanley was a man of faith who loved the Lord and lived his life guided by Christian values. He showed kindness, strength, and compassion to all who knew him. His love for his family was unwavering, and his legacy will live on through each of them.

Though our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that Stanley has been welcomed into the arms of his Savior. As it says in Scripture, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:23)

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Pax Hospice, especially Caroline Tierce, RN, Kristy Sowell, RN, and nurse aide Mimi, for their compassionate care, comfort, and dignity shown to him in his final days.

He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
