FORT WORTH - Evelyn Cewilla Duffee, 86, passed away peacefully at home on Nov. 28, 2023. Funeral: 12 p. m. Monday, Dec. 4, 2023, in Greenwood Chapel. Interment: Dido Cemetery. She was married for 65 years to Dallon Odell Duffee. They had four children, Stanley, Sharon, Clayton (Paula) and Brad (Chrystal); three grandsons, Shawn, Spenser and Michael; and one great-grandson, Beau. Willa was born at the family home in Talco, Texas on Oct. 27, 1937, to Amos and Lorena Willson. She was an excellent student and graduated with honors in 1955 from Bogota High School. She was offered a full scholarship to college but chose a different path for herself. She wanted out of the tiny little town and off the farm. She moved to Fort Worth and got her first job at a bank. . . . it would be her only job outside the home. She met and married Dallon a few years later. Being a wife and mother would be her life for the next 65 years. When you'd go by to visit, she would be in the kitchen preparing a delicious meal. She had recipes from past generations and had mastered them all. We will all miss her peanut brittle, coconut balls and other goodies at Christmas time. Willa had the uncanny ability to remember dates of every event of family members and recorded them in her bible. She often pulled out her photo albums and recalled days gone by. Pictures spark memories of picking peanuts until her hands would bleed. She told the story of how she would name the cows because she loved them so much and when harvest time came, she would cry. From the time she figured out where eggs came from, she would go the rest of her life never eating one. She learned compassion at a very young age. Willa preferred to live a pretty simple life. She went to the beauty shop on Friday's otherwise she never pampered herself. She enjoyed feeding the birds and sitting on the back porch watching them. She taught us all that God and family are the most important things. She often said, "I just want everybody to get along". She was preceded in death by her husband, Dallon; grandson, Michael; her parents; and her only sister, Vernell.Show more

Helen Black

Age - 83

December 1, 2023

Helen Ann Blevins Black, one of three children born to Clive and Prentice Blevins of Fort Worth,Texas, took the hand of Jesus and peacefully passed away with her family by her side, Friday, November 17, 2023, ten days shy of her 84th birthday. Helen, to most known as "Molly", suffered a stroke in her brain stem on November 7th and was battling pneumonia; yet on her last day with us, she was "singing" using her strong right hand and finger conducting hymns we played for her shortly before she passed. Her spirit of boldness in faith, determination and fortitude to make the best of every situation is- and will always be- her signature description. To everyone who knew her, Molly will forever be remembered as the most loving, generous, supportive, talented, creative, fun, and SO WELL LIKED person to be around. Sacrificial love and unwavering faith is what she modeled daily in the life she led. Whether it be the songs and hymns she would sing around the house and play on the piano, or when she directed Christmas pageants at church, or through her many leadership roles in school or church activities, her faith was evident and viverant to all. Molly made it top priority to be fully present with her children as they grew up. She was there ready to serve always in any youth activity such as Girl Scouts, Pee Wee Football and Spirit Teams, Homeroom Mother, Church Camp Chaperone, and many, many others that came with five very social children as well her active grandchildren. If something was going on Molly and Pop would be there! Her love for family was the foundation upon which she taught and modeled her strong faith and she never hesitated to say out loud what she thought we needed to know or hear to keep us mindful of Christian living. Molly was THE example of a godly mother, grandmother and great grandmother; so FUN and FULL OF LIFE! There was nothing Molly wouldn't do for her kids, so as the family grew it was easy to see that everyone saw Molly as the family's star for all things good. Her demonstrative voice of logic and reason was one of her many strengths and we loved her for her consistency in telling and expecting the truth. She was sharp, liked game shows. . . and never hesitated to let us know she knew the answer way before we did. She loved westerns, any Doris Day movie, Little House on the Prairie, and never missed an episode of All My Children back in the day. Her life was her family, and it was evident every single day she lived. Her boundless, faithful love is what made Helen our beloved Mom and Molly. Oh how she will be missed! Helen Ann and Beryl Black married June 14th, 1957 right after Helen graduated from Amon Carter Riverside High School in Fort Worth, Texas. Our father worked tirelessly and faithfully to provide her a life as a stay-at-home mom. They were committed to each other through all that life brought and celebrated 66 years as one this past June. Helen Ann Blevins Black was predeceased by her parents: Gordon Clive Blevins, Prentice Elizabeth Harrell Blevins, and older sister, Wanda Joy Blevins Long. Helen Ann Blevins Black is survived by her husband, Beryl Wilson Black, and children Kerrie Lynn Black Bourland Parcell of Justin, Texas, Rodney Wayne Black of North Richland Hills, Texas, Linda Diane Black Golba of Phoenix, Arizona, Susan Elizabeth Black Brooks of Azle, Texas and Wendy Lee Black Kaznowski of Azle, Texas and 15 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.Show more
