It’s hard to put into words the impact Mr. Billy Lanford had on so many of us. We have seen firsthand the values he stood for and the legacy he built. Please pray for his family, our bank family, and all who loved him.

Words cannot express how devastated we are over the sudden loss of our long time President & CEO, William D. Lanford (Billy).

Director Jimmy Loyless’ words could not have expressed it better:
“Billy’s dedication to doing the right thing was front and center throughout his life and career. He loved the community where he lived his entire life. He loved his family and often spoke proudly of the accomplishments of his grandchildren. He enjoyed gathering with friends to play music. He will be missed.”

Please keep his family, friends and the employees of First State Bank in your prayers as we grieve his loss.

Her energy, her laughter, and the way she brings life into every room is something truly special!
I’m so grateful not only to work with her, but to call her a friend.
What a blessing she is to all of us.
Happy Anniversary Vivian!
