​Beverly McKenzie McLendon, 210 Whiteline Street, Montezuma, Georgia passed Saturday, April 1, 2017 at the Phoebe Sumter Medical Center, Americus, Georgia.

The funeral service will be conducted at 12:00 P.M., Friday, April 7, 2017 at the Shade Arnold Baptist Church, Georgia Highway 26, Montezuma, Georgia.  Interment will follow at 2:00 P.M. in the Andersonville National Cemetery Rostrum, Andersonville, Georgia.

Beverly was born November 17, 1958 to the late Mira Bess Turner McKenzie and the late John T. McKenzie.

She was united in holy matrimony to the late Jimmy Jerome McLendon, Sr. September 29, 1976 and to this union they were blessed with two children.

She was employed with Allen’s Inc. for thirty years as a Line Technician Tool Clerk.    

She was blessed with a wonderful personality and showed much love as she greeted you to Papa’s Pizza for fourteen years.  The staff of Papa’s Pizza, the community at large, and all the surrounding communities will certainly miss her.

She was a 1976 graduate of the historic D. F. Douglass High School of Montezuma, Georgia. She did further studies at South Georgia Technical College of Americus, Georgia.

From her youth she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and joined the band of Christian believers at Shade Arnold Baptist Church where she supported every facet of the church she loved so well.  She exemplified her worth on the Usher Board Ministry, Hospitality Committee, Beautification Committee, and Women Missionary Auxiliary Board.

She leaves a legacy of love and many wonderful memories to her beloved family which include her two children, Jimmy Jerome McLendon, Jr., (fiancé Danielle), Montezuma, Georgia and Tiffany B. McLendon Mathis (Willie B., Jr.), Vienna, Georgia; five grandchildren, Keshun, Jalen, Brianna, Da’Quaylon, and Jaylen; thirteen siblings and their spouses, Gracie Joiner, John McKenzie, Coretha McKenzie Davis (Willie), Barbara McKenzie Marshall (Charlie, Sr.), Sheila McKenzie Warren (Roy), Belinda McKenzie Woods, Reba McKenzie Platt (Jerry), Benjamin McKenzie, Mary McKenzie Waters (Ricky), Cassandra McKenzie Jones (Kyle), Van McKenzie, Connie McKenzie Walker (Willie), and Gerald McKenzie (Tina); aunts, Alena Burnam, Montezuma, Georgia and Rosa Harris, Chicago, Illinois; sisters-n-law and brothers-in-law, Debra Thomas, Bernard McLendon, Keith C. McLendon (Patricia), Cynthia Mahone (Willie), Rasheeda Reese,  and Cathy Story;  a host of beloved nieces, nephews, other relatives, and beloved friends, including the Shade Arnold Baptist Church Family and her extended family Nita Brown, Mandy Dunmon along with Papa’s Pizza co-workers, Marilyn Rogers, and Delphine Solomon.  

The family will start receiving relatives and friends on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Willie and Connie Walker, 331 Flint River School Road, Montezuma, Georgia.

It can't be True...I don't believe it.

The death of a loved one is not easy to comprehend. Often the first natural reaction to this dreadful news is denial. But there is hope.

The Bible assures us that Jehovah is near to those that are Broken Hearted and those who are crushed is spirit. (Psalms 34:18)

Having a relationship with God can help you cope with the Death of some one you love. The Bible urges us to throw our Burden upon Jehovah himself and he himself will substain you. (Psalms 55:22)

The McKenzie Family Sends Our Deepest Condolences

When I think of Ms. Beverly passing I am reminded of the scripture that says To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. I know she is with her Lord and Savior. All the years I came to Allen's
I NEVER saw Beverly without a smile on her face, you could hear it in her voice even on the phone. She worked so hard on the American Cancer Fund Raisers. This earth lost a precious Angel but Heaven gained one. I pray for peace and joy for her family. She was greatly loved and respected.

To The Family, You have suffered a great loss and Jehovah feels your pain and for that I am truly sorry . Psalms 145: 18,19 says " Jehovah is near to all those calling on him,... " Verse 19 says " He hears their cry for help and he rescues them." Almighty God will help you through your pain as he has helped me with my losses. Please rely on his tender care

I would like to express my condolences to the family. I hope this promise by Jehovah God brings all who are grieving your dear loved one a sense of hope and comfort.In the new world, “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) At that time Jesus will use his God-given power to raise the dead because, as he said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” (John 11:25). Great will be the joy earth wide when group after group of dead persons come back to life to join their loved ones!

It's been 8 months and I still can't believe it. I miss you terribly. I cherished all the hours we spent working together at Papa's. I never told you how much of a positive impact you had on my life and it's one of my biggest regrets in life. I'm glad our paths crossed and I will always cherish the time we had together.
