Lola Washburn

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Lola Mae Lee (Ayers) Washburn, aged 102, who departed this life on October 17, 2026. Born on September 11, 1924, in Alba, Texas, Lola dedicated her professional life as an Executive Secretary, retiring in 1981 from the Exxon Mobil Dallas Office.

A devoted member of the Pine Street Baptist Church in Winnsboro, Lola was an active participant in the Fidelis Sunday School Class, where she found community and fellowship.

Lola is survived by her beloved granddaughter, Laura Ann Smith; great-grandson, Davis Smith; and daughter-in-law, Betsy Ayers. Lola was preceded in death by her parents, Henry Bryant Lee and Ollie Mae English Lee; sister, Trudie Fae Mosby; brothers, Harold Lee, Delbert Lee, and Buford Lee; husbands, Randall Ayers and James Washburn; and son, Randall Lee Ayers.

Visitation will be held at Beaty Funeral Home Chapel in Winnsboro on October 24, 2026, at 1:30 PM. The funeral service will immediately follow at 2:30 PM. Lola will be laid to rest in a peaceful burial ceremony on the same day at Lee Cemetery in Winnsboro, TX 75494.

Her kindness, wisdom, and unwavering spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew her. As we honor and celebrate Lola's remarkable life, we invite family and friends to join us in remembering her cherished legacy.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Pine Street Baptist Church (Winnsboro, TX) or Heart to Heart Hospice (Sulphur Springs, TX)
