REFLECTION OF LIFE

Family and friends celebrate the life of Wanda Felicia Croft, affectionately known as "Lisa" to some and "Monkey" to others. She was born December 14, 1973 to the late Willie Earl Croft, Sr and Ms. Wanda Ann Croft. Lisa made her transition to her heavenly home Tuesday morning, January 24, 2023 at her home in Tupelo, MS with her family by her side.

Lisa joined Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church at an early age under the leadership of her beloved grandfather, the late Rev. James L Croft whom Lisa cherished with all her heart. Lisa was his first grandchild and she was better known to him as "Monkey". The love Lisa had for her grandparents was unexplainable.

Lisa graduated from Newton County High School in 1993. Later she moved to Tupelo, MS where she met another love of her life, Mr. Steve Williams. During her stay in Tupelo, she would often visit Victory Temple Church but never moved her membership from Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church because that was where her heart remained.

Lisa leaves to cherish her memories a loving, caring and devoted mother, Ms. Wanda Ann Croft, a beautiful daughter, J'Niya Williams, her fiance' Steve Williams, two brothers: Chuck Croft of Hickory, MS, Richard "Sugarman" (Brook) Croft of Horn Lake, MS, one sister Christina (Ecclesiastes) Goodwin of Meridian, MS. Seven nephews, one niece, her grandmother, Lillie Bell Ford of Newton, MS; six step children: Keresa Dillard, Nisha Dillworth, T C Dillworth, Carlos Williams, Steve Wells and Antonio Dillworth all of Tupelo, MS. She also leaves a host of uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.
