Obituary Preview: Georgia "Sue" Jordan, born on August 8, 1948, departed this world on February 21, 2024, to be joyfully reunited with the love of her life, LJ, who left this earth on September 9, 2023, after an incredible 56 years of marriage.

Sue, a native of Winnsboro, was born to Myrtle Opal Cupp and Lloyd Arvell Cupp. Her life was a beautiful tapestry of love, family, and selflessness. Sue's life underscores the profound importance of family to her. Her roles as a wife and mother were not just responsibilities but sources of joy and fulfillment. The love and dedication she showed to her late husband and children highlight the central role that family played in her life.

The bond she had with her four children, Rodney Jordan and wife Tracy, Byron Jordan and wife Ashlynn, Amanda Allbritton and husband Justin, and Amy McCarthy and husband Dustin, is evident in the love and care they now carry forward. Her nurturing spirit extended to her grandchildren: Luke Jordan, Joci Allbritton, Rae Jordan, Jagger Allbritton, Kaylen Jordan, and Harper McCarthy.

David Earl Rockhold - January 09, 1959 - January 14, 2024

Scott Canler, Rev. James Harris, Rev. John Parks, Jr., and Rev. Michael Couch officiating. Interment will follow at New Life Cemetery in Liddieville under the direction of Young’s Community Memorial, Winnsboro. Visitation is Wednesday, January 17, 2024, from 5PM to 8PM at Apostolic Tabernacle.

David was born on January 9, 1959, in Mobile, AL, and passed peacefully from this life on January 14, 2024. He was raised in Moss Point, MS, where he graduated from Live Oak Academy.

He was preceded in death by his father, David E. Rockhold, Sr., mother, Martha Jane Phillips Rockhold and wife, Vi Bradley Rockhold. Survivors include wife, Diane Rockhold; daughters, Natalie Canler and husband, Scott, Lindsey Vallery and husband, Jeffery; stepsons, Brook Johnson and wife, Dana, Benjamin Johnson and wife, Kelsie, and Aaron Johnson and fiancé, Amber; grandchildren, Jaxon, Ariana, Alexa, and Brycen Canler; step-grandchildren Dillon, Callie, Asher, and Dawson Johnson; sister, Vicky Hatten, and husband Andy; aunts, Shirley Stuart, and Brenda Rockhold; also survived by a host of nieces and nephews, cousins, special friends, his outlaw band, and many other family members.

David had some interesting career opportunities during his lifetime. As a young man, he worked construction. After he moved to Vicksburg, MS, David became an EMT and firefighter with the Vicksburg Fire Department. On the days he wasn’t working with the VFD, he worked with his uncle moving houses. After that, he completed the intense training to become a nuclear reactor operator, as well as a fire brigade member, at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, MS, which was no easy feat. After transitioning to Winnsboro, LA, he continued working for Grand Gulf until he went to work as National Sales Manager for Healthworks Inc. He was a very good salesman and was also great at compiling data. Later, he formed his own company, Natural Precepts, and built it into a success through lots of hard work.

As a child, he loved trucks and tractors. He would build elaborate road systems with mountains, bridges, and buildings and he would play on those roads with his trucks and tractors, for hours on end. He loved traveling, playing games (and especially winning!), skiing and throwing unsuspecting people off boats into the water. He also loved to take his daughters on trips around the USA. From quite a young age, he loved a good playful tussle. Tussling with his Grandma Addie, his cousins, but mostly with Brenda, all over the house and the furniture, to the annoyance of anyone around. He loved his fast cars and had quite a few, like a Trans Am and a Saturn Sky. He drove his mother to her knees on more than a few late nights. He might have kept her prayed through during those years. David was great with numbers and he had the ability to mentally solve equations faster than could be done on a calculator. (This could also be very annoying to anyone trying to use that calculator to beat him to the answer.) He was a handsome guy and also quite close to perfect. If you didn’t believe it, you could just ask him. Or his grandmothers. Or his mom.

David spent many hours in study of the Scripture, was devout in his love and worship of God and support for his pastor. He was faithful to Apostolic Tabernacle from 1988 until his death. His last service found him worshipping his God with all his strength. Of all the memories he left behind, the greatest lesson learned was to love God, follow the man of God, and to trust God with all your heart. He believed that every battle could be won with prayer, worship, and praise. He felt that his healing would come to him through worship and we know that he did receive the ultimate healing. We have more to go to Heaven for than we did yesterday.

Interment will follow at Chase Cemetery under the direction of Young’s Community Memorial Winnsboro. Visitation will be from 5:00PM until 8:00PM Friday, December 15, 2023 also at Life Church.

Martin was born July 27, 1987 in Comonfort, Guanajuato, Mexico and passed from this life on December 11, 2023 in Monroe, LA at the age of 36. He was a unique person with an infectious personality who was a friend to many, never met a stranger, and his smile could light up a room and make anyone’s day just a little brighter. He loved to joke around and make people laugh and could carry on a conversation with anyone for hours. Even though Martin was diagnosed with cancer, from day one he would tell the doctors that he was going to beat it. His strong faith would encourage a person to believe that they could do anything they set their mind to. Martin’s main passion was his family. He believed family came first, and he showed his belief by his actions and how he was always supporting his wife and children in anything they were involved in. He cherished Victoria, his wife, and he was the love of her life. He also had a loving and compassionate heart, willing to help anyone who needed it. When his own wife’s mother was diagnosed with cancer, he told her he wanted to take her place and carry that burden for her, not knowing he himself would be diagnosed with the same. He was a devoted husband, father, son, son-in-law, and a friend to many. He will be greatly missed, and his family and friends look forward to the day when they will be reunited again. Martin was a long-time devoted employee of San Marcos Mexican Restaurant in Winnsboro, LA.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Francisco Barrera Paz and Luisa Nolasco Gonzales; and his maternal grandmother, Antonia Bustamante Bautista.

Survivors include his wife of 18 years, Victoria Barrera of Winnsboro; his children, Javier Barrera, Martin Barrera, and Victor Barrera, all of Winnsboro; his parents, Martin Barrera Nolasco and Ma Cruz Moya Bustamante, both of Dallas, TX; his “mother-in-love”, Mary Munoz of Sicily Island; his father-in-law, Arturo Munoz of Santa Rosa, TX; five sisters, Rosalia Barrera and husband, Jose of Mexico, Luisa Barrera and husband, Milton, Ducle Barrera and husband, Gaudencio, Maria Barrera and husband, Marlon, and Yamil Barrera, all of Dallas, TX; one brother, Emmanuel Barrera and wife, Sibia of Dallas, TX; sister-in-law, Vanessa Pastor and husband, John of Lafayette; also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, friends, and the staff and customers of San Marcos Mexican Restaurant in Winnsboro.
