help customizing pages.

i created my own theme, i’m using a different menu.

in the widgets.php i have:

function wp_widget_pages( $args ) {
	extract( $args );
	$options = get_option( 'widget_pages' );

	$title = empty( $options['title'] ) ? __( '' ) : $options['title'];
	$sortby = empty( $options['sortby'] ) ? 'menu_order' : $options['sortby'];
	$exclude = empty( $options['exclude'] ) ? '' : $options['exclude'];

	if ( $sortby == 'menu_order' ) {
		$sortby = 'menu_order, post_title';
	}

	$out = wp_list_pages( array('title_li' => '', 'echo' => 0, 'sort_column' => $sortby, 'exclude' => $exclude) );

	if ( !empty( $out ) ) {
?>
	<div id="menu">
				<ul>
					<?php echo $out; ?>
				</ul>
	</div>

<?php
	}
}

And what I’m getting in HTML is:

<div id="menu">

	<li class="pagenav">Pages<ul><li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="https://www.sonsofmarshall.com/about/" title="About">About</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-4"><a href="https://www.sonsofmarshall.com/thundering-herd-newswire/" title="Thundering Herd Newswire">Thundering Herd Newswire</a></li>
</ul></li>
	</div>

I’m trying to get rid of the <li class=”pagenav”>Pages and the at the end of the HTML output
