    Notes 
    • Ben McLemore, age 86, of Cedar Hill, Texas, passed away September 16, 2014. He was born August 25, 1928 in Rose Hill, Virginia.

      Ben was a vibrant man who adored his family. All his efforts were focused on the absolute success of his five elegant daughters who he was infatuated with on a daily basis. He was the ultimate role model for his 10 grandsons. His 6 granddaughters were amazed in his stature as a man of integrity.

      His most impressive virtue was the love of his wife of 57 years. Ben dedicated his every thought and was driven to the ultimate quest of his dear wife's every desire. It was a wonderful love story played out in front of his family daily.

      The only regret is 9 great-grandchildren will never understand as I do the contribution Ben made to the McLemore dynasty.

      May his legacy live on!

      Ben is survived by his wife Delfina; 5 daughters, Mary Sharp & husband Dr. Thomas Sharp, Delfina McLemore, Lois McLemore, Patricia Richardson & husband Gary D. Richardson, Theresa McLemore Everett; 16 grandchildren, Steven Cowsert & wife Halley, Kevin Cowsert & wife Sari, Kristi Cowsert, Mandi Hargrove & husband Kenneth, Michael Buckner, Joshua Brown, Marissa Brown, Robert Smith, Ashley McLemore-Simons & husband Collin, Jordan Goss, Gary D. Richardson II & wife Bayly, Lauren Richardson, Scott Everett & wife Jessica, Marc Everett, Jared Everett, & Ryan Everett; great-grandchildren, Colten, Arslan, Caden, Rayelle, Raley, Striker, Easton, Macklie, & Hudson.

      A Mass of Christian Burial will be held 10:30 Saturday, September 20, 2014 at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 1111 W. Danieldale in Duncanville.

      Interment will follow at Holy Redeemer Cemetery in DeSoto.
