Charles Hervey

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Charles Hervey, a beloved figure in our community, who left us on October 27, 2025, just shy of his 91st birthday. Born on November 28, 1934, in Water Valley, Mississippi, Charles devoted his life to working hard in road maintenance, building the very paths that connect us. His commitment to his work was matched only by his love for his family.

A laborer by trade, Charles worked tirelessly until the age of 72, exemplifying a remarkable work ethic that spoke to his dedication and resilience. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life-singing and dancing to the rhythm of the music, filling the air with his joyful spirit and laughter. Charles had a special bond with his family, always prioritizing their happiness and cherishing the moments spent together.

Charles is survived by six children, Ruby Barr, Charles Hervey, Willie Hervey, Theresa Hervey, Chris Hervey, Craig Baker; twelve grandchildren; twenty-eight great-grandchildren; one sister, Gracie Mae Hervey; and a host of other loving family.

Charles is predeceased by his parents, Ira and Everlina (Walton) Hervey; his wife, Ruby Lee (Caldwell) Hervey; two children, Linda Morgan and David Hervey; one grandchild, Katrina Barr; six brothers; and three sisters.

He leaves behind a legacy of love, hard work, and unwavering commitment to family that will resonate with us all.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 PM on Friday, October 31, 2025 in the Henry Chapel of Seven Oaks Funeral Home. A wake will be held two hours prior to the service. Join us in remembering Charles with honor and reverence, as we say our final goodbyes. His spirit will live on in our hearts, and his memory will be celebrated through the family he cherished so dearly.

Janie "aunt Grace" Mize

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Janie Grace Mize, affectionately known as Aunt Grace, who left this world on October 26, 2025, at the age of 90. Born on June 8, 1935, in Oxford, Mississippi, Janie was a vibrant spirit who touched the lives of so many around her. After finishing Yocona High School, where she notably played basketball, she devoted herself to family, love, and her work.

For 42 beautiful years, Aunt Grace was married to her husband, Rayford Mize, who honorably served in the U.S. Navy. They created a lifetime of cherished memories together. Janie spent 26 dedicated years as a seamstress at Big Yank, skillfully threading her passion into every stitch.

In her personal life, Aunt Grace had a green thumb, and her garden was a reflection of her nurturing spirit. Whether it was her beloved roast or her special skillet corn, her cooking left a lasting impression and created warm memories around the dinner table. Most of all, she had a heart full of love for her grandchildren, Christopher and Mollie, always ready to shower them with affection and wisdom.

Janie is survived by her son, Reggie Mize (Maria) of Oxford; grandchildren, Christopher Randall Mize, Mollie Kate Mize; her brother-in-law, Bill Dennis; sister-in-law, Wanda Mize; a special niece and nephew, Wayne and Viann Dennis; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Wayne Mize and Envie Mize; husband, Rayford Mize; one grandson, Ryan Randall Mize; sister, Meredith Dennis; and brother, Calvin Mize.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 12:00 PM at Seven Oaks Funeral Home, followed by a Funeral Service at 2:00 PM. Burial will be at New El-Bethel Church in Lafayette County.

As we celebrate Aunt Grace’s life, may we remember the love, warmth, and joy she brought to everyone she met. She will be immensely missed, but her spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
