Avis

Hughes

Avis Burnett Hughes was born on April 2, 1962, to Samuel E. Hughes and Virginia M. White Hughes. Though many hearts were broken, God called her home on May 28th, 2021. Avis gained her wings.

At an early age, Avis accepted Christ into her life as a child. She was baptized at Mount Union M.B. Church. She was a member of East Springhill M. B. Church in Nettleton, MS, until death.

Avis was a student at Okolona High School. She worked as a construction worker for 20 plus years, until she became disabled. If anyone knew Avis, they knew she loved her family, fashion, and Kamden King.

She will be greatly missed.

Although she is absent from our sight, but never parting from our hearts, Avis will live on forever.

She leaves to cherish her memories: her four children, Telakisha (Dante Daniel) Hughes, Shena Hughes, Santanna (Shane Penro) Hughes, and Ochooson (Charmaine Joy) Hughes, all of Amory, MS; her siblings, Samuel E. Hughes, Jr., Amanda (Willie Earl) McIntosh, and Wayne Hughes (Shyra), Elizabeth Hughes Wilson; four grandchildren, Sha'nija Hughes, Ja'myah Hughes, JaMarion Garth, and Se'Anna Penro. She also leaves to cherish memories to nieces, nephews, and a host of her other family and friends. Also a very special friend of many years, Henry Goolsby.

Avis is preceded in death by her father, Samuel E. Hughes, mother, Virginia M. White Hughes, sisters, Arma Jean Wallace and Deborah Yvonne Brandon, brothers, William H. Hughes, Glenn E.
Hughes, and Randle A. Hughes.
