Thank you for your continued prayers for the family and friends of Rev. Dr. Autura Eason-Williams.

The family has scheduled a viewing on Tuesday, August 2, from 4 – 8 p.m. at Anthony Funeral Home, 135 South 16th Street, West Memphis, AR 72301.

The funeral will be on Wednesday, August 3, at 10 a.m. at Saint Paul United Methodist Church, 2949 Davies Plantation Road, Lakeland, TN 38002. Flowers may be sent to the church for the funeral.

The church will live stream the service.

No media cameras will be allowed inside the church or on the church property.

Parking will be tight. Carpooling is encouraged. Overflow parking and shuttles (from Collierville UMC) will assist with moving people from nearby church lots to St. Paul UMC.

Clergy who attend are requested to wear black robes with white stole or a dark suit so they may line up as Autura passes through during the recession. (More details for clergy)
