Lachelle June Givens, 77, of Brookhaven, MS, passed away December 31, 2024, at her residence. She was born in Brookhaven, MS, on September 8, 1947, to Earl Ray Oliver and Edith Hall Oliver.
Ms. June was a member of Monticello UPC. She loved her God and church and inviting people to her church.
She adored and was very proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed gardening and taking care of her flower beds. She loved all things beautiful and eccentric from clothes, shoes, decorative platters, flowers, and more.
She was known to many as “Ms. June”. She was a hard worker. Until her retirement, she could be found working at the Star Drive In in Brookhaven, MS. Her greatest achievement was to have the best hamburger in Lincoln County. She loved her food HOT! Don’t bring her cold fries. She enjoyed eating out, but her favorite restaurants were Jerrys Fish House and Middendorfs.
Preceding her in death are her parents; husband, Jessie Earl Givens; sisters, Patsy Case and Janice Fuller; and brother, Kenneth Oliver.
Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Melissa Freeman (Mark) and Jessie Givens, Jr. (Tiffanye); three grandchildren, Amanda Bessonette, Meagan Bessonette, and Steven Bessonette; and six great grandchildren, Austin Jordan, Tucker Jordan, Chezley White, Finley Walker, Haze Lynn Bessonette, and Anola Bessonette.
The family would like to thank Nova, Amy, Lacey Bennet, and Teonna Mitchell with Dignity Hospice.
