Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of Wanda McPherson.
Wanda Lee McPherson, 90, of Kuttawa, Kentucky, departed this earth on Monday, the 8th of December 2025.
Born on June 11, 1935, in Crittenden County, Kentucky, to Hershel and Margie (nee Farley) Clark, Wanda was raised in the small town of Blackford, Kentucky, and often reminisced about her childhood there. In 1951, she married Wallace McPherson, of Kuttawa, Kentucky. Together they had three children, and a horde of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Wanda's greatest joys in life were cooking, and spending time with her family. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, and, in this humble writer's opinion, an amazing grandmother. She was also a devout Christian, and a longtime member of Hopewell Baptist Church.
Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, seven siblings (Joyce, Betty, Roger, Melvin, Mary, Nickey, and Jackie), her husband Wallace McPherson, her son Rev. Ronnie McPherson, her son-in-law Russell Dowdy, and two grandson-in-laws, Jeff McClure and Jon Bushey.
She is survived by her siblings: Sandy Armstrong, Danny Clark, Paula McDyer, Norma Gatten, Mollie Kelly; her son Randy (Natalie) McPherson, and daughter Debbie Dowdy; grandchildren Brandee Bushey, Joe (Heather) Childress, Alisha (Tyler) Bohannon, Wesley McPherson, Paige McPherson, and Hunter McPherson; two bonus grandchildren, Brandon Dowdy and Shelby Peek; and her great-grandchildren, Christopher and Abbigail Bushey, Dayne and Maci Childress, Hillary and Sam Bohannon, Breanna McPherson, and Killian McPherson; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, December 11, at Dunn's Funeral Home in Eddyville from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. The funeral will be held at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. John Hagan officiating. Burial will follow at Kuttawa Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to Kuttawa Cemetery Fund c/o Butch McCollum 1349 Lake Barkley Dr., Kuttawa, Ky 42055.
