John L. JusticeMulhearn Funeral HomeSterlington Road, Monroe, LA
Funeral services for Mr. John L. Justice, 75, of Monroe, will be held at 3:00 PM Thursday, February 21, 2008, at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church with Rev. Job Edathinatt, Rev. Joseph Puthuppally, and Rev. Sebastian Kallarackal officiating. Interment will follow in Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe.
Mr. Justice was born in Delhi, LA on August 19, 1932 to Lee Justice and Janie Weese Justice, the youngest of eleven children. He was preceded in death by all but one sister, Alpha Lee Justice Roy; and his oldest son, John L. Justice, Jr. He grew up, attended school, and worked in the North East Louisiana area. While serving in the Army National Guard, John then married, settled in Monroe, and began to raise his own family of eleven children. He and his wife, Dott, completed that task while residing in their family home, located in the Swartz community where they have lived and assisted with the population there for the past forty-eight years.
He was a faithful, active member of St. Lawrence Catholic Church where he was fond of this church family and embraced the opportunity to be a part of a growing congregation. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus. As a business man he worked as an auto body shop manager for many years before opening his own business as an appraiser. He was trusted and respected in both fields and found retirement a challenge as long as he was physically able to work. (So he did!)
Survivors include his wife, Dorothy (Dott) Lew Miller Justice; children and spouses, Margie Adams and husband Dennis Adams of Rogers, AR, Mary Francis (Sissie) Jones and husband Dr. Gary Jones of Monroe, LA, Glen Justice and wife Janell Justice of Rogers, AR, Barbara Jane (BJ) Tassin and husband Scott Tassin of Bella Vista, AR, Janet Justice of West Monroe, LA, Kenny Justice of Monroe, LA, Charlotte Jobe and husband Dr. Darrell Jobe of Shreveport, LA, Katie Massingill and Rob Massingill of Bella Vista, AR, Billy Justice and wife Kelly Justice of Monroe, LA, and Lisa Murphy and husband Paul Murphy of West Monroe, LA; forty grandchildren and spouses, seventeen great grandchildren (two more due in August), and one sister, Alpha Lee Justice Roy.
Grandsons will serve as pallbearers.
Visitation will be Wednesday from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM and a Vigil Wake Service at 7:00 PM at Mulhearn Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Lawrence Catholic Church Building Fund, P.O. Box 554, Swartz, LA 71281-0554.
