Ava Nell Barron
Graveside services for Ava Nell Barron of Longview, formerly of Troup, were held Saturday in Union Grove Cemetery in Troup with the Rev. Randall Bryant officiating. She was born Nov. 10, 1929 and died May 12.
Ava Nell was a special lady. She was the apple of her mother's and father's eyes. They gave her the nickname of "Pumpkin." She clung to her big brother Cecil, depending on him to look after her. He always addressed her as "Punk.' She looked to her "Aunt Doris" as a big sister and a role model. She loved family gatherings and everyone was always special to her. Most of the family gathered at "Uncle Fred's" and "Aunt Addie's" home. Christmas was a very special time. Her mom and "Aunt Addie" would work in the kitchen baking pies and cakes while waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. Ava Nell loved fishing with her cousin Dorothy Mae and the fish dinner afterward, along with all the fun and fellowship. Best of all was the country church she attended, the Red Oak Flat Assembly of God. This is where she took Christ as her savior.
Ava Nell worked for Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. as an operator in Grand Prairie and later, for LeTourneau in Longview as a secretary until her retirement.
Ava Nell was preceded in death by her father and mother George and Essie Keel; brother Cecil Keel; and two sisters who died shortly after birth. All were residents of Troup.
She is survived by two sons and a daughter-in-law, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
She will be missed by all her family and a host of friends. She left good times for all to remember. Most blessed of all, she is with Christ her savior.
