Mary Louise Alford, 74, of Tylertown [Walthall Co.], died Feb. 6, 2005, at his [her] residence. Visitation is 5 to 8 tonight at Hartman-Hughes Funeral Home in Tylertown. Services are 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at Salem Baptist Church.... Burial will be in Boyd Cemetery.
Mrs. Alford was born Jan. 12, 1931, in Walthall County. She was the daughter of Cecil Calvert and Inez Griffin McKenzie. She was a homemaker and a steadfast companion to her husband of 57 years. Whether the couple was planting a garden, building a deer stand or attending a convention, Mrs. Alford remained by his side until being confined to bed the last two years of her life. She loved singing, and Monday nights were often reserved to gather around the piano with other Christians to sing gospel favorites. She was active in her beloved Salem Baptist Church where she sang in the choir. She was also active in the Homemakers Club of Walthall County. Family and friends remember "Mrs. Louise" as an avid collector, and her many scrapbooks reflect her passion for collecting memorabilia about people she loved.
Mrs. Alford was preceded in death by her parents; a son, Homer Odell Alford; and a nephew, Cecil Ray McKenzie.
Survivors include her husband, Travis Alford of Tylertown; two daughters, Linda Faye Ingram and Sue Alford, both of Tylertown; one son and two daughters-in-law, Troy and Kathy Alford of McComb, and Joan Alford of Tylertown; a brother and sister-in-law, Cartee and Nancy McKenzie of Hattiesburg; two grandsons, Heath and Jamie Alford; six granddaughters, Christina and husband Rickie Bailey, Molly and husband Lathyrl Lucas, Jessica and Savannah Alford, Anna Alford and April Welch; eight great-grandchildren, Raven Bailey, Reece Bailey, Ross Bailey, Tanner Lucas, Lexie Boyd, Jackson Lucas, Maggie Lucas and Jaelyn Alford; and her husband's brothers, sisters and their families who were among her closest friends.
