We are honored to announce that Miss Macie Gammon is the recipient of the Larry G. Hughes and Ryan Michael Hughes Scholarship for SIU Mortuary Science!

This award is a testament to Macie's dedication, compassion, and commitment to excellence in the funeral industry. We have the pleasure of working with Macie at Johnson-Hughes Funeral Home, and we're blown away by her exceptional work ethic and caring heart.

We are proud to recognize Macie's achievements and honored that Vonda could present her with this award as Diane Hughes was unable to attend and do so herself. She's a true embodiment of the values that Larry G. Hughes instilled in us - a passion for serving others with dignity and respect.

Congratulations, Macie! We're honored to have you on our team and can't wait to see the impact you'll make in our community.

*Fun Fact- Vonda received this same scholarship award in 1993!

The Spookiest House on the Block? My Childhood infatuation with the Funeral Home on Halloween! 🖤👻

You know the house: the one with the biggest steps, the darkest porch, and rumors of the best full-size candy bars. For our co-host, Vonda, that house was the local funeral home!

She shares a captivating story about the "true undertaker" and the huge cauldron that kick-started a lifelong fascination.

But there’s a deeper connection: Did you know trick-or-treating actually started as "Souling," where cakes were traded for prayers for the souls of the deceased? It was always a tradition of community, connection, and honoring the past.

Click below to hear Vonda’s full story and learn how "soul cakes" became today's Halloween candy. It's a journey from ancient ritual to modern community joy!
