Monroe Lee Bivins born December 18, 1935 in Lamar County to Sam M. Bivens and Alice Humphrey
Monroe Lee Bivens, 78, passed away Thursday, February 27, 2014, in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 A.M. Wednesday, March 5, 2014, at Life Tabernacle Church, Wichita Falls, with Rev. Gene Holley, Jr., pastor, officiating, assisted by former pastor, Rev. Wendell P. Elms of Lufkin, Texas. Graveside services will follow in Crestview Memorial Park under the direction of Dutton Funeral Home of Iowa Park, Texas.
Monroe was born December 18, 1935 in Paris, Texas. He married the love of his life, Lula Pearl Basham on October 19, 1953 in Paris, Texas. Monroe was a brick mason for many years, but his most important occupation was living for God. He was a member of Life Tabernacle Church for the last 13 years. He was a saint of God and a 'REAL" Soldier of the cross and never met a stranger. He loved people and people loved him. He was always giving himself for the Kingdom of God! Never wanting recognition for the hours he gave to the Lord … knocking doors until he covered all of Wichita Falls and the surrounding area, cooking for church functions, shaking hands of guests and making them feel welcome, supporting and loving the Pastors that were privileged to have him in their churches. The band of Heaven welcomed him "HOME" Thursday morning, but he probably waved them aside as he went straight to the throne of God to worship! He was a hero in many people's books, but not his book. With tears running down his face he would say …. "I'm a nobody! You know what I mean? I'm just honored to be in the Church! Wherever I can serve, that's what makes me happy! Know what I mean?" He will be greatly missed by many, but we know he's gone on to that heavenly reward that he has so worked for.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel Monroe Bivens and Alice Rosie Humphrey Bivens, two daughters, Lou Ann Bivens and Elizabeth Diane Bivens, and a sister, Delois Yvonne Mowrey.
Survivors include wife, Lula Pearl Bivens; two daughters, Sharon Delaine Bivens and Sherry Elaine Marchbanks and husband, David Brian; 3 grandchildren ; a sister, Mattie Louise Watson and husband, Gary Gene; brother-in-law, Fred Mowrey; and numerous aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews.
