Rodney Thomas

Rodney Thomas passed away on March 12, 2026. Rodney will be remembered most for the way he loved people-unconditionally and without judgment. He believed deeply in showing kindness, compassion, and grace to everyone he met, and that spirit will forever remain the legacy he leaves behind.

A memorial service for Rodney will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Monday, March 16, 2026, at Northminster Church in Monroe, with Rev. Jillian Hankamer officiating, under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral Home Sterlington Rd., Monroe. Visitation will be held from 10:00 A.M. until service time at the church.

Rodney graduated from Ocean Springs High School and later attended the University of Southern Mississippi, where he earned his bachelor's degree and pursued specialized studies in grant writing. He went on to build a meaningful career as a rural and urban consultant, eventually founding Thomas Planning Consulting Firm, which he proudly owned and operated for over two decades. Through his work, Rodney dedicated himself to helping communities grow and thrive.

Later in life, Rodney also started his own cleaning business, pouring his heart and soul into it. What began as a business soon became a ministry, as Rodney used every opportunity to share God's love, kindness, and encouragement with the people he served. Whether through his professional work or daily interactions, he made it his mission to uplift others.

Rodney was known for his warm personality and the way he made everyone feel welcome. Those who knew him well will fondly remember the famous "Thomas Goodbye." A simple farewell was never quick—it could easily take thirty minutes or more and was filled with heartfelt "I love you's," warm hugs, kisses on the cheek, and just one more story or word of encouragement before finally heading out the door. It was simply Rodney's way of making sure everyone around him knew they were loved.

Rodney is preceded in death by parents, Marcel Thomas and Mary “Pie” Thomas.

Rodney is survived by his devoted wife, Paula Thomas; his children, Rachael and her husband John McIntyre, Jason and his wife Melissa Brown, Carrie Brown, Nicholas and his wife Kele Brown, and Patrick and his wife Jessica Thomas; and his siblings, John Thomas, Glenn Thomas, and Marlene Cole. He was a proud and loving grandfather to Hudson McIntyre, Beckham Brown, Riles Thomas, Maddyn Thomas, and Granger Brown, who brought him tremendous joy.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to PrimeStar Home Health, with a special thank you to Brandie Eppinette, as well as Elara Hospice Care and Dr. Brown Manning, for the compassionate and loving care they provided to Rodney during his time of need.

Rodney's life was defined by faith, service, and a genuine love for people. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering compassion will be deeply missed, but the love he shared so freely will continue to live on in the lives of all who knew him.

Bud Ray was born in Wilburton, OK, on October 24, 1938, and passed peacefully on March 4, 2026.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harless Ray and Lorraine Moore Visser; his sister, Jean Smith; and his beloved maternal grandparents Pete and Jenny Moore.

Pallbearers will be Dr. Robert Spatafora, George Carso, Kenneth Bass, Michael Bass, Patrick Quint, and Allen Otts.

In his early years Bud was raised in the rural town of Wilburton, where his grandparents owned a small farm. After middle school, he moved to Midwest City, OK. He worked as a stock boy at the local grocery and graduated from Midwest City High School. He was the first in his family to receive a bachelors degree, in 1961 from Oklahoma State University with a major in business. After graduation, he joined the US Army and subsequently the Army Reserves.

He met his future wife Catherine in Shreveport while working for Pillsbury company, introducing himself and offering a free box of Pillsbury pancake mix. He then joined Top Value Stamp corporation, and quickly advanced through a series of promotions, moving the family to five different states within 10 years. When he tired of the corporate world, he made a midlife decision and with the support of Catherine, decided to move back to Monroe and become self employed. Together they opened the Cotton Patch in 1978, focusing on quality clothing and personalized customer service. Years later, they opened the Garden District Café. During this time, Bud also kept his primary career as an independent sales representative for multiple grocer promotional companies across the nation. To all who knew him, his energy and his desire for connecting with others was boundless. He sincerely loved to meet people, talk, visit and share stories. He was proud of his Cherokee lineage and his service to the US Army. He adopted his wife’s Italian heritage and was the determined force who researched her Italian roots and encouraged travel abroad. Bud never forgot his humble origins and will always be remembered for his generosity, humor, energy and abundant love of life.

The family would like to express a special thanks to the extraordinary staff of Stoneybrook Memory Care, West Monroe.

Memorial donations may be made to QuesTECH Learning, or to a charitable foundation of your choice.

Chester was born on May 12, 1941, in Louisville, Kentucky and passed away on March 6, 2026.

Chester “Chet” Fawbush, a devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and faithful servant to his country and community, passed from this life leaving behind a legacy built on hard work, generosity, and unwavering love for his family.

Born one of fifteen children, Chet learned early the value of resilience, grit, and looking out for others. At fourteen, he joined a traveling carnival. When he came of age, he answered a deeper calling and enlisted in the United States Air Force in Little Rock, Arkansas. He served his country with honor. He was active duty from 1961 to 1965 and reserve duty until 1967 ultimately being honorably discharged as an Airman Second Class.

It was in Little Rock that Chet met the love of his life, Glena Cathy. They married in her hometown of Banks, Arkansas, beginning a beautiful partnership that lasted fifty-one years. Together they built a life grounded in devotion, laughter, and steadfast commitment.

Chet and Glena eventually made their home in West Monroe, Louisiana, where he began a long and dedicated career at Olinkraft Paper Mill. As a pipe fitter, he worked with skill, pride, and integrity for thirty-five years before retiring. Retirement, however, never slowed him down. Chet poured his energy into his small antique shop and his exterminating business, finding joy in the work of his hands and the people he served.

He had a deep passion for fishing, woodworking, and antiquing. Hobbies that reflected his patient nature and his love for creating, restoring, and discovering hidden treasures. But nothing brought him more joy than his girls and his grandchildren. He doted on them endlessly, cheering them on in every season of their lives. To them, he was not just a father and grandfather, he was their number one fan.

He was a faithful supporter of his church, sponsoring missions and helping many young people pursue their education. He gave quietly, freely, and without hesitation. If someone was in need, Chet was the kind of man who showed up no questions asked.

He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Glena Fay Cathy Fawbush; wife, Margaret Osteen Fawbsuh; mother, Dorothy Sevella Moppin Fawbush Bowman; father, Chester Devor Fawbush, Sr.; and stepfather, Samuel Bowman, Sr.; and siblings, Myrtle Fawbush Cranfield, Dorothy Fawbush Hancock, Samuel Bowman Jr., Loretta Bowman Sauer, and Cathy Bowman Berry.

Those left to honor and cherish his memory are his daughters, Angela Fay Fawbush LeBrun and husband, Joe and Kristy Leigh Bragg and husband, Gordon and numerous stepchildren; grandchildren, Jami Roberts and husband, Wayne, Joshua Cripps and wife, Amanda, Austin Bragg, and Zoe Bragg; great grandchildren, Dakota Roberts, Skylar Roberts, Maverick Cripps, Isadora Cripps, and Ashton Cripps; siblings, Elwood Fawbush, Emily Fawbush Hancock, Vernon “Frances” Fawbush Spiva, John Wayne Bowman, Joan Bowman Hancock, Brenda Bowman Murphy, Edna Bowman Hardin, Darlene Bowman Eason, and Tina Bowman Rich; as well as a host of friends and loved ones.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Caring Hands Hospice for their compassion and care during Chet’s final days

About Us.

Our story begins on November 15, 1899, when Peter Sherlock Mulhearn married Alwine Louise Peters, daughter of Johann Ernst and Caroline Peters. Mr. Mulhearn worked for the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad until 1912, when he became associated with his father-in-law in the undertaking and furniture business.

In 1916 Mr. Johann Ernst Peters passed away and Mr. Mulhearn helped in the family's furniture store business. He, his wife, sons and daughters opened Mulhearn Funeral Home in 1929. It was only a short time before the Mulhearn family began its expansion during the mid 1930s to Rayville, Delhi, and Winnsboro.

Along with the funeral homes, an insurance company, flower shops and an ambulance service were opened in the respective locations. In 1966, the ambulance company was closed due to liability insurance and governmental regulations, but another funeral home and flower shop were added in West Monroe, Louisiana.

In 1971, Tom and Marie Mulhearn along with their four children, Thomas Henry, Jr., Peter G., Joseph E. and Barbara, purchased the company from Tom's brothers and sisters. In late 1970s Tom and Marie's oldest grandson, Mike, who had been coming to the funeral home with them since he was about six, joined the company.
