Julies Powell Obituary
Mr. Julies Powell, 90, of Cleveland, MS, passed away Monday, December 12, 2011, at his home. Visitation will be 1:00-2:00 p.m. Wednesday, December 14, 2011, at Ray Funeral Home. Celebration of life services will be 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, December 14, 2011, immediately following the visitation at Ray Funeral Home with Rev. James Wilkerson officiating.

Mr. Powell was born August 9, 1921, to Benjamin Lafayette Powell and Hester Rebecca Grant Powell. On August 10, 1948, he married Elaine Carroll at Sunflower Plantation. He served our country in WWII and received a Purple Heart and Combat Infantry Badge and fought in five major battles in the European theatre. Mr. Powell was a very modest, humble man who loved his Lord, his family and his Southern gospel music. He loved ALL children and doted on his four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Although he didn't have formal education, he wanted young people to get all the education possible.
