of Jacksonville, AR

May 26, 1929 - December 19, 2021

Mary Elizabeth Edwards Barham, 92, of Jacksonville, Arkansas, passed from this life and went into eternal life with Jesus on Sunday, December 19, 2021.

She was born in Longview, Mississippi and grew up in Starkville, Mississippi. While working at Planters Peanut Store in Memphis, Tennessee, she met her soon to be husband Bill. They later moved to Arkansas and raised their five children.

Mary was the life of every event and never met a stranger! Everyone knew her as "Granny". She made sure her company didn't leave hungry, had a smile on their face, and heard the gospel message of Jesus from her.

Mary will be remembered for her unshakable faith, her contagious laughter, and her love for others.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William C. "Bill" Barham, son William C. "Billy" Bayham, Jr., by her parents, George Raymond and Cora Mae Edwards and six siblings.

She is survived by her daughters, Ann Fulmer (Paul), Connie Evans (Jerrel), Vickie Samuelson (Larry), and Bonnie Phillips (Clyde), 18 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren, 5 great great-grandchildren, and many extended friends and family.
