Bennie Carver Ussery

Mr. Bennie Carver Ussery, age 82, of Hazlehurst, died Thursday, August 15, 2024, at his residence.

Mr. Ussery was born on December 01, 1941, in Jeff Davis County.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Benjamin “Pete” Ussery and Plura Rollins Ussery and his daughter, Kathy Ranae Ussery.

He was a member of Elizabeth Baptist Church and an Electrician by trade, but he had many other interests. He was truly an outdoorsman, he enjoyed farming, gardening, and cutting grass, he always wanted his grass cutting to look manicured and professional.

He loved all animals, but he especially enjoyed working with his goats and was a very good shepherd to them. He had a big giving heart, was kind of quiet, never said a lot, but he always had his own opinion and defiantly would let his family know. He loved his family dearly and enjoyed spending time with them, and his constant companion, known as Lucky. He will be greatly missed by all.

Survivors include his wife Mrs. Elizabeth Morris Ussery of Hazlehurst; two sons and daughters-in-law, Hal and Kay Ussery of Baxley and Greg and Debra Ussery of Hazlehurst; sister, Ms. Voncile Livingston of Hazlehurst; two grandchildren, Heather Ussery Miles (Tyler) and Hollie Ussery Causey (Colin); three great-grandchildren, Carver Miles, Zoey Miles and Dutton Causey; several nieces and nephews also survive.
