Elizabeth “Denise” Overstreet Guillory departed this life peacefully on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Liz was office manager at Hall Davis and Son Funeral Services for twenty plus years. She was born on April 9, 1956, to the late Nias Overstreet, Jr. and Chardia Louise Mason Overstreet. Denise was united in holy matrimony to Charles “Charlie” Patrick Guillory on November 30, 1974. Together, they shared many years of love, commitment, and devotion until his passing.

“Liz” as she was affectionately called was more than the Office Manager at Hall Davis and Son Funeral Services, she was family and a very intricate part of the daily operations, and a valuable to Mr. and Mrs. Hall (Cecile) Davis IV especially when they were away handling the business of the National Funeral Directors and Morticians Inc. She leaves to cherish her precious memory her loving and devoted daughter, Mitzi Danita Guillory; her sister, Marva Louise Overstreet Jolivette; her sister-in-love, Cynthia Lewis Overstreet; her devoted friend, Russell Banks; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and dear friends.
