Funeral services for Mrs. Augustine B. Levy, 95, of Lake St. John, Ferriday, LA will be held February 20, 2016 at 11:30am from St. Mark Baptist Church in Clayton, LA. She will be interred beside her husband, Bennie Levy at the Consurella Cemetery on Lake St. John with Rev. Harold Mitchell officiating.

Mrs. Levy, daughter of Tom Butcher, Sr. and Mary Ellen Bell Butcher, was born in Ferriday and died at her residence.

She was married for fifty nine years to Bennie Levy and to this union, they were blessed with ten children. She was often referred to as the "Social Worker" for Concordia and Tensas Parishes. She did not look for pay from the earthly man, but only from her Heavenly Father. She was a loyal member of St. Matthew Baptist Church where she served as Usher and on the Mother's Board. She was known to visit as many churches as she could get around to. And she was also a member of the Tensas-Concordia Parish Usher Circle.

She loved serving her Lord and Savior in any capacity as she could. And she loved to cook, go fishing and take care of others.

Preceding her in death were her parents; her husband, two sons, Bennie Jr. and Thomas Levy; six brothers, Clarence, Clyde, Joe, James, Tom and Leon; seven sisters, Gertrude, Josephine, Doris, Ethel, Bertha, Katie, Sadie; and her special friend, Ezella Davis.

Mrs. Levy is survived by one son, Herman J. Levy and his wife, Annie of Lancaster, TX; seven daughters, Lena Mae Terry and her husband, James of Menifee, GA; Christine L. O'Neal, Laura Pearman and Edith J. Levy all of Lake St. John; Jessie Ann Frazier and her husband, Marc of Vacaville, CA; Augustine Williams and her husband, Ronnie of Bloomington, IL; Wanda Washington of Natchez, MS.

Also two brothers, Frank Butcher and Toby Carlos of Bloomington, IL; four godchildren; thirty grandchildren; ninety one great-grandchildren and numerous great-great-grandchildren; her devoted friend, Mable Fleming Smith of Ferriday.

"God has given us many gifts; but far above any other; the first and best He gave us was the gift of a Christian Mother. Her head bowed over the Scriptures teaching her children from God's own word. Her hands were always busy doing service for her Lord."
