Delores (Sizemore) Masters
November 25, 1936 – November 15, 2025
Delores (Sizemore) Masters passed away on Saturday, November 15, 2025, in Ruston, Louisiana, at the age of 88. A devoted Christian, Delores found great joy in serving her church, McDonald Memorial Baptist, where she faithfully taught Sunday school for more than 40 years. Alongside her sisters, Peggy and Jeanette, she also shared her love of ministry by teaching vacation Bible school on Oklahoma Indian reservations.
Delores and her husband, Doyle, treasured their time together hunting, fishing, and spending peaceful days at their camp on Black Lake. She was happiest with her hands in the soil, caring for her flowers and plants, or in the kitchen cooking for family and friends—none of whom ever left her table hungry. Her life was one of faith, service, and generosity, and she will be dearly missed.
Delores is survived by her children, Debra Newton & Charlie, Rickey Masters & Rebecca, Derinda Caskey & Travis and Dana Hall & Reggie; grandchildren, Heath Newton & Kim, Nathan Newton & Holly, Cody Newton & Shae, Robyn Buchan & Michael, Ryan Masters & Ashton, Regina Kittler & Andrew, Toby Caskey & Nikki, Darryl Caskey & Morgan, Raimy Hall & Sarah, Kelsey Hall, and Skylar West & Kyler; 23 great-grandchildren; 6 great-great-grandchildren; sister, Peggy Harvey & Arnold; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Cecil Franklin Sizemore; mother, Lucille (Peyton) Sizemore; husband of 57 years, Doyle S. Masters; sister, Jeanette Horn; and brother-in-law, Buel Horn.

Wanda was born on June 23, 1957, to Lynn and Wanda Reynolds Youngblood in Bernice, LA. She made her peaceful journey home early Saturday morning, November 15, 2025, surrounded by her family in Jonesboro, LA. A journey that might have come too soon for us, but one she was ready to make.
Wanda was a woman of faith and had a love for God that was unwavering, even in her darkest hours. She was a Mom, Aunt, and Mamaw to everyone, regardless if you were family or not. Her hugs were the best, and her laugh was contagious. She would carry your cross, and hers as well, if she could. If you needed prayer, she went to the war room for you. She was the most caring, loving, giving, and selfless woman of God. To know her was to love her.
Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, Lynn and Wanda Jean Youngblood; grandson, Josh Feirn; brother, Monty Youngblood; and sisters, Patty Bell and Darla Headington. She is survived by her husband of 51 years, Roland Jensen; son, Steven Jensen; daughter, Stacy Jensen; grandchildren, Aaron Jensen, Ryan Feirn, Annabelle Lott, and Avery Lott; great-grandchild, Emma Grace Feirn; numerous nieces and nephews, and a host of other family and friends.
There will never be a single moment that you are not thought of and missed by all of us. Your absence will never be unfelt. Your memory will never be forgotten, and your name will always be spoken. We love you endlessly.
Following visitation, the funeral service was held on Tuesday, November 18th, 2025, at Owens Memorial Chapel in Ruston. Ceremonial Committal followed at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery in Gibsland, LA, under the direction of Owens Funeral Home.
