Linda Faye Harris

Linda Faye Harris, a luminous beacon of love and devotion, passed away peacefully on April 2, 2026. Born on May 3, 1947, Faye’s life was a testament to the enduring power of compassion, dedication, and heartfelt service to others. She departed this world lovingly surrounded by “her girls,” a cherished circle that reflected the profound connections she so tenderly nurtured throughout her seventy-eight years.

From the very beginning, Faye embodied a spirit that was both dynamic and nurturing. A phenomenal cook with an enviable flair for hospitality, she delighted in bringing people together around her table, where the warmth of her heart was as palpable as the delightful meals she prepared. Her love for Elvis revealed a playful and joyous side, a connection to a timeless era that brought unmistakable sparkle to her life.

Faye was a woman of great integrity, admired for her honesty and her servant’s heart, qualities that she lived out daily. True to her nature, she found profound joy in giving of herself to meet the needs of others, a gift that echoed through every relationship she cherished.

Faye’s living legacy is carried forward proudly by her beloved grandchildren, those she affectionately called “her girls”: Lindsey Parker (Matt), Molly Valladares (Carlos), and Samantha Jimmerson (Wesley). The joy of her life was further enriched by MawMaw’s great-grandchildren—Aiden, Elizabeth, Eli, Robert, and one precious little one eagerly awaited. Her close-knit family circle was supported by her brothers—Jesse O’Neal Henderson, Gary Henderson, and Jimmy Smith (Peggie)—along with a host of nieces and nephews who always held her in the highest regard. Among her dearest companions was Carolyn Varden, her steadfast best friend, who shared countless moments of friendship and solace.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband of fifty-eight years, Ralph E. “Cotton” Harris; her son, Mark Allen Harris; parents, Jesse B. and Mary Jim “Nonnie” Henderson and sister, Mary Margaret Cullars.

The community will gather to honor Linda’s remarkable life at Jeffcoat Funeral Home, located at 255 Friendship Road, Tallassee, Alabama 36078. The family will receive friends Thursday, April 9, 2026, from 2:00PM until 3:00PM, providing a time for reflection and remembrances. This will be followed immediately by a Celebration of Life at 3:00PM, a fitting tribute to a soul who so deeply touched the lives of many. The service will be officiated by Reverend Jay Woodall.

In the quiet spaces left in the wake of her passing, one can still sense the enduring strength of a woman who loved deeply, served faithfully, and embraced life with open arms. Linda Faye Harris shall remain forever etched in the hearts of those she loved, a paragon of kindness and a profound caregiver whose indelible spirit will continue to inspire.

Lawton Byron Boulware

With profound sorrow and heartfelt reverence, we announce the passing of Lawton Byron Boulware, a distinguished gentleman who departed this life on March 27, 2026. Born on April 11, 1941, in the serene surroundings of Tallapoosa County, Alabama, Byron lived a life that was both rich in dedication and abundant in love.

A member of Elam Baptist Church in Tallassee, Alabama, Byron’s faith was a guiding beacon throughout his journey. His professional life was marked by faithful service to the community as he devoted many years to the United States Postal Service, from which he retired with honor. Those who knew him often reflected on his commitment and the earnest care with which he approached both his duties and his fellow man.

Byron embraced the pleasures of life with the soul of a true outdoorsman. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, relishing the calm and challenge of nature’s embrace. His green thumb brought beauty and tranquility to his surroundings, revealing a gentle and nurturing spirit. An ardent supporter of Alabama football, he found joy in the camaraderie and spirited competition that the game inspired. These pastimes were not mere hobbies but expressions of his zest for life and his connection to the land he loved.

He is survived by his beloved wife of sixty-five years, Bernice Parker Boulware, whose steadfast partnership was the cornerstone of his existence. Together they nurtured a family rich in love and accomplishment. His daughters, Brenda Boulware McCollough and her husband Mark, Diane Boulware Greenlee and her husband Mike, and his son, James Byron Boulware and his wife Karol, carry forth his legacy with pride and affection.

Byron’s heart extended to his cherished grandchildren: Jim McCollough; Amber McCollough Eastman and her husband Chad; Hayden Greenlee and his wife Crystal; Heath Greenlee and his wife Carly; Nathan James Boulware and his wife Tabitha; Andrew Miller Boulware and his wife Sarah; and Brittany Truitt. Their lives are a living testament to his love and guidance. He was equally blessed with great-grandchildren—Jimmy McCollough, Maraylee McCollough, Julee McCollough, Ellianna McCollough, Evelyn Greenlee, Hadley Greenlee, Tanslee Boulware, and Annakate Boulware—each one a sparkling gem reflecting the enduring light of his spirit.

Byron is preceded in death by his loving parents, Lawton and Clessie P. Boulware, whose legacy he carried forward with honor and grace.

There will be a graveside service for family and close friends Tuesday, March 31, 2026, beginning at 11:00AM at Carrville Cemetery, Tallassee, Alabama. Here, amid the tranquil grounds of his hometown, family and friends will gather to pay their last respects to a man whose life was a quiet yet profound chapter of devotion—to family, community, and faith.

In remembering Lawton Byron Boulware, we celebrate not merely a lifetime but a legacy characterized by love, strength, and unwavering commitment.

Mark Charles McGhee "GheeBo"

Mark Charles McGhee, a lifelong resident of Tallassee, Alabama, passed away on February 20, 2026, surrounded by the ones he loved. He was born on December 11, 1964, in Montgomery, Alabama. He graduated from Tallassee High School, Class of 1983, and remained deeply rooted in the community he loved and faithfully served throughout his life.

Mark is survived by his beloved parents, Charles and Mary Allen McGhee. He was a devoted father to Jake (Bethany) McGhee, Cody McGhee, and Ivy Summer McGhee. He was lovingly known as “G-Daddy” to his grandchildren: JC, Ella Kate, Sawyer, and Shaylee. He is also survived by his sister, Miriam (Trey) Stone; his nieces and nephews, Andrew (Hallie) Stone and Mallie (Joe) Vincent; and several aunts, uncles, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

Affectionately known as “GheeBo,” Mark was admired for his strong work ethic, generous spirit, and servant’s heart. He was a dedicated employee at GKN, where he had worked since November of 1986, building lasting friendships and earning deep respect through decades of hard work and commitment.

An outdoorsman at heart, Mark loved creek riding, spending time at Lake Martin, and being anywhere near a body of water. Whether it was the lake, the riverbank, or a quiet stretch of creek, that was where he felt most at peace. He also cherished the simple beauty of nature. Through McGhee Lawn Service and in countless other ways, he invested in his community—always striving to make things better than he found them. Anything he touched or invested in, he improved. He was the kind of man who never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Mark was a devoted member of Talleweka Baptist Church. His love for Jesus was evident in the way he lived—through his kindness, compassion, and service to others. His faith was not just something he spoke about, but something he walked out daily in the way he treated people and cared for his community.

While our hearts are heavy, we find peace knowing he is now whole and healed. We can picture him tinkering in Heaven, making things better even there. The Lord gained a beautiful soul, and though he will be deeply missed here, his legacy of faith, love, and generosity will live on in all who knew him.

The family will receive friends Wednesday, February 25, 2026, from 5:00PM until 7:00PM at Jeffcoat Funeral Home. Funeral services will be Thursday, February 26, 2026, at 11:00AM at Tallaweka Baptist Church, Tallassee, Alabama with Pastor Randy Bush officiating. The body will lie in state at the church one hour prior to services. Burial will follow at Union Church at Lake Martin Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Tallaweka Baptist Church, 1419 Gilmer Avenue, Tallassee, Alabama 36078.

Mark’s life was defined by loyalty, hard work, devotion to family, and unwavering faith. He will be forever loved, forever remembered, and deeply missed.
