William Frank Funderburg

William Frank Funderburg,88, of Calhoun City passed from this life on Tuesday, July 26, 2022, at Grenada Living Center. Born on June 1, 1934, he was a son to the late William Russell Funderburg and Mary Evelyn Davis Funderburg.

Bill, a graduate of Calhoun City High School class of '52, fought for the freedom of his nation during the Korean War. After his time overseas came to an end, he found a career in farming and selling both cars and heavy equipment. Aside from his work life, Bill found joy in the simplicity of spending time with his family. However, in his younger years, he was an avid fan of boating and skiing.  Bill worshipped alongside the body of believers at Bethany Baptist Church faithfully until his health began to fail. Although he has departed from our lives, his treasured memory will hold a special place in the hearts of his loved ones.
