On Thursday, December 18, 2025, in the early morning, Mary Jean Kendall, was called to her heavenly home. She had been a resident of the Baptist Memorial Nursing Home in Calhoun City, MS for the last year. Jean was born July 20, 1941, in Bentley, MS to the late Leroy Bush and the late Maudie Bush.

Jean attended Bethlehem Church in her younger years and was baptized in the waters of Buck Creek in Bentley, MS. She was a woman of admirable strength! She married Harold Kendall of Vardaman in 1958. They began their family in 1962 with the birth of their first son, Frankie, and then their daughter, Lisa, in 1966, and their last son, Michael, in 1967.

Jean became a widow in November 1967, only a short six weeks after the birth of Michael. She worked numerous jobs throughout her life to raise and support her three children alone. Not only did she love and care for her own, Jean was also known as Mama Jean and Mamaw Kendall to many other kids! So many in Vardaman have said throughout their life that they would have gone hungry or not had a warm place to sleep many nights had it not been for her! Jean was a woman of simplicity, but one of the most selfless, hard-working, loving, and determined!

Jean is preceded in death by her husband, Harold; her son, Frankie; her parents, Leroy and Maudie Bush; sisters, Shirley Barnette, Betty Massey, Linda Gail Voyles, Jesse White, Ruth Weeks, and a brother, Bill Bush.

Mama Jean just made Heaven a sweeter place for all of her loved ones to desire. That desire can only be filled by believing and walking with Jesus. (John 3:16) As her family did not say goodbye to her, they said, "We will see you soon!"

Funeral services will be at Parker Memorial Funeral Home in Vardaman, MS. The family extends an invite to a visitation on Saturday, December 20, 2025, from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM. Funeral Services will immediately follow at 12:00 PM, with Phil Lucius bringing her remembrance and words of encouragement to others to follow our Lord Jesus Christ.

The family asks for no foods personally, but rather donate a meal or help a family in need during the holiday in memory of Jean.

The family would like to extend a special thanks for the love and care to Gentiva Hospice, BMNH, and Dr Bradley. You all spoiled Jean with love, and our simple words can never express our appreciation to you.

William was a member of the Calhoun City First Baptist Church, where he gave his life to Christ. He was not only a man of faith but also a craftsman at heart, enjoying woodworking in his spare time, where he created beautiful pieces that will be treasured by his family for years to come. William had an appreciation for nature, often found riding his gator, marveling at the local wildlife, or quietly watching deer in his backyard. His love for the outdoors was matched only by his passion for maintaining a lush, pristine yard, where he took great pride in mowing and caring for his surroundings.

After a career as a maintenance worker for Calhoun County Schools, where he was known for his reliability and dedication, William embraced retirement, allowing more time to spend with his family.

Joseph Wayne Clark

Joseph Wayne Clark, 98, of Bruce, Mississippi, passed peacefully on December 2, 2025, at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo. Born on July 14, 1927, in Bruce to Will Spears Clark and Maude Lugene Jones, Wayne lived a long, full, and hardworking life rooted deeply in family and the community he cherished.

A proud American, Wayne served in the United States Army during the Korean War. He often shared stories of his time stationed in Alaska-memories he carried with him his entire life.

Wayne was known for his incredible work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. Over the decades, he owned and operated numerous businesses, including a sawmill, service station, skating rink, drive-in theatre, pawn shop, and furniture store. Whether working with his hands or managing a business, Wayne was always in motion. Even into his mid-90s, he could be found tending his garden. He rarely kept any of the vegetables he grew-he planted and harvested simply to give them away, a quiet reflection of his generous heart.

In 1981, Wayne faced the heartbreaking loss of his son, Darwin Clark. From that moment forward, he and his beloved wife, Nona Faye (Murphree) Clark, devoted themselves to raising their grandson, Corey. Corey was their world, and anyone who knew them had no doubt that their lives revolved around him. The bond they shared remained unbreakable throughout Wayne's life.

Wayne was preceded in death by his wife, Nona Faye, his son Darwin, and his parents.

He leaves behind his devoted grandson Corey Clark (Samantha), great-granddaughter Alden Clark, and great-grandson Joseph Cullen Clark all of Pontotoc, MS, and a host of nieces and nephews who will forever cherish his legacy of love, resilience, and quiet strength.

Though Wayne did not regularly attend church, he read his Bible faithfully every day and held a confident assurance of where he would spend eternity. His family takes comfort in knowing he is at peace, reunited with those he loved and missed so dearly. There will be graveside service Friday, December 5, 2025, at Pinecrest Memorial Garden beginning at 2:00P.M. with Bro. Corey Clark officiating.

Wayne Clark will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his legacy of kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to family will live on for generations.

Parker Memorial Funeral Home is honored to be of service to the Clark Family during this time.
