Annie H. McCullough

Annie H. McCullough, 81, of Mineral Springs died Wednesday, March 21, 2001.

Mrs. McCullough was born Feb. 8, 1920, near Schaal, the daughter of James A. and Nancy Williams Hooker. She was a member of Central Baptist Church in Mineral Springs. Mrs. McCullough was preceded in death by a son, Garry David McCullough in 1962; her husband, William Story McCullough in 1982; a grandson, William Christopher McCullough in 1984; and her son-in-law, Ed Clark in 1995.

Ann McCullough was a devoted mother and wife and a compassionate friend to people in need, particularly the elderly. She devoted 35 years of her life to the service of the elderly by working as a nurse's aide, principally at Colonial Nursing Home, where she cared for hundreds of patients and gave hope to their families. She enriched the lives of everyone who came in contact with her.

When not at work, or tending to others, Mrs. McCullough was an avid gardener and a wonderful cook. She believed in a strong work ethic, and instilled this in the people around her. Her love, wisdom and courage will be sadly missed by family and friends alike.

Her survivors include two daughters, Gay Clark of Prescott and Lauri Halley of Texarkana, Texas; three sons, Mike McCullough of Nashville, Nick McCullough of Texarkana, Ark., and Chris McCullough of Texarkana, Texas; one son-in-law, Tony Halley of Texarkana, Texas; three daughters-in-law, Julie McCullough of Nashville, Anita McCullough of Texarkana, Ark., and Stacy McCullough of Texarkana, Texas; five granddaughters, Nancy Swaty of Little Rock, Renee and Claire McCullough of Texarkana, Ark., and Kristen and Kelsey McCullough of Texarkana, Texas; three grandsons, Tadd McCullough of New York City, Dannon McCullough of Texarkana, Ark., and Matt McCullough of Texarkana, Texas; one grandson-in-law, Joe Swaty of Little Rock; and her great-grandson, Will Mayo of Texarkana, Ark.; two sisters, Inez Coleman and Mildred Jones; and a brother, Eugene Hooker.

Services were held Friday, March 23, at Latimer Funeral Home Chapel in Nashville with Matt Woods officiating. Burial was in Mineral Springs Cemetery under the direction of Latimer Funeral Home of Nashville.
