Someday someone will take the picture of you that will be used for your obituary. That thought lands with a quiet weight, doesn’t it? It’s a reminder that ordinary moments matter—that a random Monday smile, a candid laugh, or a photo you barely notice can outlast you. Not because it captures the end, but because it captures life as it was being lived. Some people hear that line and feel a chill. Others hear an invitation: be present, be kind, let yourself be seen as you really are. Not perfect—just real. In a way, it’s less about the obituary and more about making sure the life behind the photo was full. Maybe the picture has already been taken. And if so, it was probably taken on a day that didn’t feel important at all—no ceremony, no sense of finality. Just you, mid-life, in motion. That’s what makes the thought unsettling… and oddly comforting. It suggests we don’t get to curate our legacy in one dramatic moment. We do it quietly, over time, in how we show up, how we treat people, how fully we live the days that don’t announce themselves. If that picture already exists, I hope it caught something true—your warmth, your humor, your way of being in the world. And if it hasn’t yet, then there’s still another ordinary, beautiful moment on its way.

Wilburn Eural Bingham

Wilburn Eural Bingham passed away, with family members at his bedside, on December 30, 2025. He was 97 years old.

Eural was born on July 5, 1928, to Joe and Hattie Bingham, in the rural community of Farmington in Alcorn County, Mississippi. He was the eighth of their ten children. He attended Freed-Hardeman College in Henderson, Tennessee, where he prepared for a life of evangelism and where he met Jo Nell Cook. Eural and Jo Nell married on May 21, 1950. They had been married seventy years and six weeks when she died in 2020. They raised five children and, at the time of Eural’s death, left behind 18 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren.

In addition to his many years of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, Eural worked as an elementary school teacher and administrator for more than twenty years, and for much of that time, also raised cattle on a small scale. His preaching work took his family to Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, and back to Illinois. After their children were grown, Eural and Jo Nell also lived in North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. When he was 70 years old, he and Jo Nell made the first of four road trips to Alaska—pulling a small camper trailer. On each of those trips, they spent several weeks working with local churches in Soldotna and Fairbanks. They developed lasting friendships in all the states in which they lived and worked. In 2022, Eural moved with his son Mark and daughter-in-law Melanie to Upstate New York. He died at home less than two weeks after having begun to receive hospice care.

Eural was predeceased by Jo Nell and by his nine siblings, as well as by his daughter Nancy and his son Rob. He is survived by Rebecca Bingham (Chris Thompson) of Anchorage, Alaska; son-in-law Randy Tumlinson of Tomball, Texas; son Mark (Melanie) Bingham of Painted Post, New York; daughter-in-law Dawn Bingham of Hoschton, Georgia; and son Jon (Bethany) Bingham of Louisville, Kentucky, as well as his many grand- and great-grandchildren.

Eural will be remembered in a service of hymns and prayers in the chapel of the School of Good Works at 1310 W. Church Street in Elmira, NY, at seven o’clock Friday evening, January 2, and in a short graveside service in the Fraley’s Chapel Cemetery near Corinth, Mississippi, at two o’clock the afternoon of Saturday, January 10. It was Eural’s wish to be remembered, rather than with flowers, with donations to Florida College, 119 N. Glen Arven Avenue, Temple Terrace, FL 33617.

The family is being assisted by McInerny Funeral Home in Elmira, New York, and Magnolia Funeral Home in Corinth, Mississippi.

He faithfully pastored Wynnburg Baptist Church, Hopewell Baptist Church, Ellistown Baptist Church, and Mt. Vernon Baptist Church. He also served as interim pastor for Reelfoot Baptist Church, West Corinth Baptist Church, Glendale Baptist Church, and Oak Hill Baptist Church.

Johnny served wherever he was needed—whether in the pulpit, in his community, or simply in the quiet, everyday ways that reveal a servant’s heart. Though his physical abilities became limited in later years, his devotion to living a meaningful, Christ-centered life never faded.

Those left to honor Bro. Johnny’s Memory include his wife of 74 years, Louise Walker; son, John R. “Jay” Walker (Teresa); daughters, Vicki Clark (John) and Carol Pinkston (Jim); grandchildren, Dr. Brad Gatlin (Crissy), Drew Walker (Vanessa), Jon Pinkston (Courtney), Jordan Pinkston (Shannon), Karen Burns (Bubba); 12 great grandchildren; 1 great great grandchildren; other relatives and a host of friends.

On Monday, December 22, Mary Golda Evans Fell, age 97 of Corinth, MS, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family.

Mary Fell was born on April 28, 1928, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Joseph Goulden Evans and Mary Golda Tiffany. She lived a life rooted in faith, family, service, and love.

Mary spent her childhood growing up in several places, including Idaho, California, Nevada, Montana and South Africa, experiences that shaped her adaptable spirit and appreciation for people and cultures from all walks of life.

On June 9, 1947, Mary married the love of her life, Robert Junis Fell Sr, in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. Their marriage was built on devotion, faith, and partnership, and together they created a strong and loving family.

Mary was the proud mother of three children: Pamela Ann Portie (Edward.dec), RJ Fell Jr. (Victoria), and Clay Hamilton Fell (Karen). Her greatest joy came from her family, which continued to grow through her grandchildren: Aimee Patterson (Bryan), Jill Anderson (David.dec), Benjamin Portie (Christy), Katina Roberts (Nathaniel), Jonathan Portie, Victoria Fell, dec, Mara Fell, Carla Fell, Cohl Fell, and Eastlyn Enderle (Ian).

She was also blessed with many great-grandchildren: Benjamin Anderson, Leyton Patterson (Anna), Madelyn Meteer (Colton), Brooke Patterson, Olivia Wright-Quinton (Calvin), Erik Anderson, Isaac Roberts, Charlotte Roberts, Braiden Portie, Emily Anderson, Collin Portie, Emmett Roberts, Corinne Roberts, Maximillion Fell, Lilyana Fell, Ezra Fell, and John Enderle. She is also survived by two sisters-in-law, Gloria Evans (Kent. dec) and Patricia Evans (Richard, dec) and many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her siblings; Kaye Hunt (Reg), Harvey Evans (Laura).

Mary was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout her life. In 1997, she faithfully served a mission with her husband for the Church in Bacolod, Philippines, an experience that reflected her deep commitment to service, compassion, and sharing her faith. She enjoyed many years of serving in the Relief Society and working at the Washington DC and Kansas City LDS Temples. She is remembered fondly by many children as being “Sister Friendly” in her longtime Kearney, Missouri LDS ward.

At the age of 88 Mary uprooted herself from her friends in Kansas City and moved to Clinton, MS and later Corinth, MS where she was lovingly cared for in the home of her grand-daughter Aimee and her family for the last ten years.

Mary will be remembered for her quiet strength, unwavering testimony, love for her family, and lifelong dedication to serving others. Her legacy lives on through the generations she nurtured and the many lives she touched.
