Mavis was born on December 30, 1931 to Rufus Benjamin Caswell and Fannie Mae Blalock Caswell in Emerson, Arkansas and passed away Friday, June 19, 2020 in Shreveport, Louisiana. Momma, Memaw, Mamaw, Aunt Mavis loved Jesus and her family more than anything. She was a cafeteria worker for Caddo Parish Schools and then got to fulfill her desire to be a nurse by becoming a caregiver. She was a Sunday School teacher to a group of ladies at Morningside Baptist/ Kingston Road Baptist for over 20 years. She had just recently became a member of Salem Baptist Church in Stonewall and was enjoying getting to know new brothers and sisters in Christ. Her heart was all about missions and being the hands and face of Jesus. Her family and love for Christ was her pride and joy. To know her was to love her. If you ever wanted to see a Proverbs 31 woman she was it. The world seems a little darker today with her light gone. Mavis is preceded in death by her husband, James C. Todd of Keithville, Louisiana; parents, Rufus B. Caswell and Fannie Blalock Caswell; son, Ronald G. Todd; grandchildren, Thomas Todd, Emily Todd, Melanie McGuirk and Millard Davis; brothers, Alfred "Red" Caswell, RC Caswell, Dwade Caswell and Johnny Caswell and sisters, Mary Ferguson and Vivian Glass. She is survived by her son, James R. "Bo" Todd and wife, Donna of Shreveport, Louisiana; daughters, Judy Jordan, Kathryn T. "Kathy" Davis and Melinda T. Hebert, all of Keithville, Louisiana, and Laura Maron and husband, Joe of Pennsylvania; brothers-in-law, Sam R. Ferguson, David R. Todd, both of Stonewall, Louisiana; 19 grandchildren; 33 great-grandchildren; five great-great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Honoring Mavis as pallbearers will be Jimmy Jordan, Mike Jordan, Jason Jordan, Paul Meeks, Richard "Jr." Brooks, Jr., Joseph "Joe" Brooks, Jonathan Todd and Landen Greene. Serving as honorary pallbearers will be Jed McGuirk, Kenneth Jordan, Jr., J.J. Jordan, James Brooks, Hayden Price, Lamar Nunnery and Ed Tesnow. The family would like to express thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff of the Willis-Knighton Pierremont ICU Unit, Comfort Care Staff for their compassionate care for our mother and grandmother and to Pastor Mike Hawkins for his many visits and prayers. Donations to the Missions of Salam Baptist Church in Stonewall would make Momma, Memaw, Mamaw, Aunt Mavis very happy.
