Hornsby, TN

Willie Jean McMahan was born on October 12, 1937, in McNairy County, TN, the late Andrew Lee McMahan and Vinnie Lou King McMahan.

With a heart full of service, Jean proudly served in the United States Marine Corps, demonstrating her dedication and strength. She retired from Dover (Thyssenkrupp) Elevator in Middleton, TN, where she was known for her diligence and commitment.

Jean was attending the First Baptist Church of Selmer, TN. Her faith was a guiding light in her life, and she cherished the bonds formed within her church family.

Jean found joy in tending to her flowers. However, it was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who held the deepest corner of her heart, and nothing brought her more joy than spending time with them.

Jean departed this life on June 23, 2025, in Corinth, Mississippi, at the age of 87 years, 8 months, and 11 days, she will be lovingly remembered for her spirit, compassion, and the countless lives she touched along her journey. Her memory will forever bloom in the hearts of her family and friends.

She is survived by a daughter, Stephanie Mardis and husband Tony; three grandchildren: Shea Mardis, Marlee Williams and husband Jesse, Kelsey Mardis and fiance Colton Hill; three great grandchildren: Willow Mardis, Abbi Williams, William Mardis; three sisters: Peggy Smith, Ann Richerson, Debra Lacefield and husband Michael; and many nieces and nephews.
