Gladys L. McCullar Barham

April 17, 1933 — August 2, 2019

On August 2, 2019, Gladys L McCullar Barham, 86, loving wife and mother of three girls, transitioned to her heavenly home after a long illness.

She loved Jesus, and even in her last moments, she never forgot Him. She constantly prayed and encouraged others in their walk with Christ. She was known for her Christ-like attitude, infectious smile, vibrant personality, and her sweet and compassionate spirit.

She loved her family, fresh flowers, southern gospel music, sweet ice-tea, and apricot cake.

Gladys, known to her husband as Shorty, was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer D. and Ollie B. (King) McCullar of Selmer, TN; her brothers, Charles, Robert, and J. B. McCullar; and a grandson, Jock A. McMurry. She is survived by her husband of 67 years, Charles A. Barham of Cordova, TN; her three daughters, Pamelia A. McMurry (Thomas) of Memphis, TN, Loretta J. Eidson (Kenneth) of Olive Branch, MS, and Tina A. Crum (Jack) of Cordova, TN; a brother, James McCullar (Mary) of Selmer, TN; seven grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.

She was a member of Ridgeway Baptist Church in Memphis, TN.
