Lathell "Baby" Boone

Lathell “Baby” Boone, of Foxworth, Mississippi, passed into glory on Friday, January 8, 2021 at the age of 71. A lifelong resident of Marion County, he was a carpenter by trade and owned Boone’s Deer Processing. Baby enjoyed making sausage and cooking chitterlings and pork skins. He loved “loafering” around in his truck and never took the same route home. He will be remembered for his love of God and church and if you were his friend, you were going to receive a text message with a Bible verse every day. Baby was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Lois Boone; a sister, Peggy Dunaway; and a brother, Bobby Boone. Survivors include his wife of 47 years, Annie Boone; a daughter, Roxana (John) Bennett, a son Reverend John Daniel (Jennifer) Boone; five grandchildren, Sara (Robert) Dyson, Savanna Boone, Caleb Bennett, Trenton Daniel Boone, and John Tyler Boone; a great-grandson, Memphis Charles Dyson; and numerous nieces and nephews. The visitation will be at Oak Grove Apostolic Church on Monday, January 11, 2021 beginning at 6:00pm. The funeral service will be at 10:00am on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 in the church officiated by Reverend John Daniel Boone and Reverend Felix Arnold.
