Mozelle Hillyer
Mozelle Hillyer, of Fannett, passed into the arms of her Savior on March 4, 2019. She was born on April 17, 1930, to Easuel and Bertie Fullen Clark in Fairmount, Texas. She grew up in a family of nine children, with four other sisters and four brothers.

One of the greatest loves of her life was her family. To say that she was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother is an understatement. Her heart was so big; and she was so full of life! Mozelle was a friend to everyone she met, and just never met a stranger. She knew the importance of loving God, and loving others, and modelled this for her daughters.

As an adult, there wasn't anything Mozelle couldn't do in business if she set her mind to it. She worked for a while as a real estate agent in the Dallas area, then started her own jewelry retail business while taking side work as a notary public. She became known as "The Jewelry Lady".

She is survived by her two sisters, JoNell LaRoue of Orange, Texas and Reba Barnett of Pineland, Texas; daughters, Sylvia Carlisle and husband, Gary Sr.; Becky Person and husband, Vance; Angela Richardson and husband, Robert, all of Fannett, Texas; grandchildren, Gary Carlisle, Jr. and wife, Kristie, of Midland, Texas; Tara Prestridge and husband, Derek, of Leander, Texas; Bethany Vaccaro and husband, Matthew, of Beaumont, Texas; Hannah Barnett and husband, Zeb, of Beaumont; Stephanie Richardson and Paul Richardson of Fannett; great-grandchildren, Rory Carlisle, Cooper Carlisle, and Tanner Carlisle all of Midland; and Whitney Prestridge and Charleigh Prestridge of Leander; and many nieces and nephews.

Mozelle is preceded in death by her spouse, Jack Hillyer; her parents, Easuel and Bertie Clark; and siblings, Bobbie Hankins, Lavergne Smith, Easuel Clark, Jr., Knox Clark, Doil Clark, and Bill Clark.

The family would like to extend heartfelt appreciation to The Arboretum in Winnie for helping us to take care of our Momma and Mamaw in the last months of her life. We are so grateful for the kindness and tender care each one of the staff showed to her. We would also like to recognize the staff and residents of Atria Collier Park, of Beaumont, where she lived for almost 10 years.

A gathering of Mrs. Hillyer's family and friends will begin 2:00 p.m., with her funeral service to follow at 3:00 p.m., Saturday, March 9, 2019, at Broussard's, 1605 North Major Drive, Beaumont. Her interment will follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Beaumont.

Clara married James Ray Currie before 1947. James was born on 1 Feb 1922 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; died on 2 Jan 2003 in Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas; was buried in Antioch Cemetery, Buna, Jasper County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Sidney Lynn Smith, 78, of the Fairmount Community in Hemphill, Texas passed away Thursday, February 24, 2022 at Sabine County Hospital.

Lynn was born in Fairmount, Texas on June 3, 1943 to Fred D. Smith and Laverne Clark Smith. He was a lifetime resident of Sabine County and had served his country as a member of the United States Army. He served Sabine County as County Commissioner for Precinct 2 for many years, and he was a long time member of East Mayfield Baptist Church.

Lynn was a wise and prudent man and he taught his children that value of hard work. He woke up every morning with one thought in mind and that was "who can I help today". He was not a perfect man but he was redeemed by Jesus and that is the most important thing. He had battled Parkinson's for the last eight years of his life, but Parkinson's did not win. He is completely healed now. He always had and continued to love his family deeply, take care of his place and, of course, his grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife, Dixie Smith of Fairmount; son, Steve R. Smith of Fairmount; daughters, Cindy Box and husband, David, of Huntington and Sheila Cowee and husband, David, of Douglass; brother, Tommy R. Smith and wife, Belinda, of Lufkin; sister, Glynda "Guinnie" Smith of Jasper; grandchildren, Laura, Allison, Mariah, Danielle, and Eli; and seven great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Laverne Smith and sister, Lanell Smith.

A Memorial Service for Lynn will begin at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, February 27, 2022 at Starr Funeral Home Chapel, 510 Starr Street, Hemphill, Texas with Bro. Eddie Ballard and Bro. Gene Lee officiating.

It is his family's request, that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions instead be made to East Mayfield Baptist Church.
