A woman of God, Mrs. McCullough will be remembered as a great cook who enjoyed baking, watching the squirrels and birds in her yard and never allowing anyone to wonder what she was thinking. But one of her greatest joys was sharing time with her family, especially her grandkids who affectionately referred to her as “Mamaw Faye,” and will be sincerely missed by all who knew and loved her.

Precious memories will continue to be shared by her beloved husband of sixty years, Johnny McCullough, one son, Jamie D. McCullough, one daughter in law, Melanie McCullough, seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
