Graveside services for Mrs. Linda Sue McCullough of Brookhaven are 11:00 am, Monday, August 24, 2020,

at Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery.

Mrs. Linda Sue McCullough, 75, of Brookhaven, MS entered into the presence of her Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ on August 18, 2020,

with her son and sister by her side. She passed at Silver Cross Health & Rehab.

She was born to Martell and Lois Elaine Allen on February 2, 1945.

Sue was a giving and loyal soul who always put others before herself. She loved her family and her friends fiercely and always did

her best to meet any need they had. Sue loved her pets and working in her yard which was always immaculate and cheerful with beautiful flowers.

Sue adored all children and was the best storyteller to her grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Even though she had her stroke before the

great-grandchildren were born, she loved them to visit her and do their “tricks and dances” for her and would smile and tell them stories

of their parents and her childhood.

Sue was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Jerry Lee McCullough, her brother Danny Bo Allen, and her nephew Nick Newell.

Those left to cherish her memory are her sons, Jerry Freeman and wife, Regina and Jimmy Freeman and wife, Jenny;

sisters, Jeanene Newell and husband Prentiss and sister-in-law, Judy Allen.

She is also survived by her grandchildren Ashley Hudson; Caitlin Smith and husband Reid; great-grandchildren, Kiptyn Hudson,

and Harbor, Beckam and Ledger Smith; and a cousin who was like her sister, Kathy Evans. Along with nieces and nephews,

she adored like they were her own children and grandchildren.

A special thank you to the staff at Silver Cross Health and Rehab for caring for Sue over the last 8 years.

 The family appreciates and would like to especially thank all the nurses and CNAs for their patience with Sue as her mind deteriorated.

We can never thank Vernestine Byrd, Angie Griffin, Kim Williams, and Kelsey Britt enough for keeping Jerry updated about Sue and for loving her.

Charles Bendon Ginn, 77, of Brookhaven, MS. went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on August 17, 2020.

He was surrounded by his bride of 54 years and his three loving children as he entered Heaven’s gates.

He was born on February 12, 1943, in Tylertown, MS. He was a graduate of Tylertown High School, William Carey University,

and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where he earned a Master’s of Divinity degree. Bro. Bendon, as he was affectionately known,

began his ministry at Saul’s Valley Baptist church and then Enon Baptist Church in South Mississippi. He was then called to the mission

field in the Pacific Northwest where they served for twelve years. Afterward, they returned to their home state of Mississippi and served the following churches:

First Baptist Church of Nettleton, MS (1981 – 1985), Easthaven Baptist Church of Brookhaven, MS (1985 – 2005).

Philadelphia Baptist Church of Caseyville, MS (2005-2015), and Little Bahalia Baptist Church, Wesson, MS (2015 -2020).

Bro. Bendon always had a heart for missions and continued to participate in mission work throughout his life.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Sedgie V. (Sr.) and Etheland Ginn;

his brothers Sedgie V. Ginn (Jr.) and Steven J. Ginn; and his nephew, Eric Howse.

He is survived by his loving wife, Dorothy Sumrall Ginn, of Brookhaven, MS.; his son, Marc Ginn and wife Megan of Sumrall, MS:

Asher Ginn, Daniel Peters, Lauren Peters, Lindsey Peters, Ethan Nations, Mallory Nations, Anna Caroline Adams, and Hayden Adams.

Other family members left to cherish his memory include his nephews, Sedgie V. Ginn III (Tre) of Benton City, WA, and Benden Ginn of Oregon.

One word comes to mind when describing Charles Bendon Ginn and that word is LOVE. First and foremost, he loved his savior, Jesus.

Next to Jesus, he loved his bride of 54 years, followed by his children and grandchildren. He also loved people- ALL people.

He was always thinking of how he could share God’s love with them. He never met a person that he did not ask if they

were a person of faith and then would follow it up with a word about his Lord. He shared God’s love everywhere he went.

Bendon loved the outdoors. Growing up in Tylertown on a farm, he developed a passion for all of God’s Creation.

From the birds in the air to the fish in the water, he spent every chance he could taking in God’s wondrous beauty.

He had a way of describing God’s handiwork that very few people did which made everyone around him want to see it the way he saw it.

When describing one of his favorite wildflowers, the Goldenrod, he would describe them as towers of pure gold,

rising from the earth, reflecting the sun, and sending beams of light towards the Heavens. He hunted, fished, gardened, and maintained the earth

that God allowed him to see and use. We will miss hearing him talk of his passion for every one of God’s creations. Although he lost one of his

eyes in an accident as a child, he saw more beauty with one eye than most people ever do with two.

He is now a resident in the most beautiful place ever created. We can hear him say, “If you could just see me now…. Glory!”

To the ones left here on earth Bendon would say,

“The best is yet to come” Glory to God in the Highest!” To those who do not know Jesus as their Savior, he would ask,

“Please receive him today and experience true joy and peace”
