Benjamin Luther Ausburn was born October 22, 1954 to Luther Ausburn and Pearl Stamps Ausburn.  He was a member of Eastside Baptist Church and the Adult Men’s Sunday School Class.  One of his greatest joys was to help annually with the receiving and shipping of the Samaritan’s Purse Shoe Box donations.  Ben was regularly seen zipping around Cairo in his Jazzy chair.   He loved to visit with, or phone call, his many friends and was quick to share his bright smile.  Although his limited sight some-what held him back, his nature was to be very independent.  He loved to share his handmade crafts with others.  Kind-hearted and generous, Ben Ausburn will be deeply missed by the family he loved so much and his many friends.

Ben Ausburn is survived by his parents, Luther and Pearl Stamps Ausburn of Reno, Georgia; his siblings, Barbara Sue Edwards and husband, Mervin of Cairo, Sarah Ward and husband, Sammy of Monticello, Georgia, and Jimmy Ausburn and wife, Bobbie of Cairo; and numerous nieces and nephews.
