Anthony Terrell was a loving Father, Husband and Grandfather. He was loved by many. He lived life to the fullest and touched everyone he came across. If you met him and spent time with him you were probably laughing at some point in the conversation.

As he became older, he came across some health issues that became hard for him to deal with.

Unfortunately, he was called home on February 9th, 2019, unexpectedly. With no prior final resting place arrangements, we, the Terrell family are needing help with Funeral costs. The Terrell children are doing our best to make sure our father is taken care of the best way we know. This is new to us and we miss our father, dearly.

Service times are pending at Fisher Funeral Chapel.

For those that would like to help out please feel whatever is in your heart to donate.

Thank You!

Carol Agresto 76 of Jackson passed away on Sunday, February 3, 2019. The family would appreciate help with funeral costs.

Hello! My name is Michelle Sutton. I am trying to raise funds for my Mother In Law, Evelyn Cox for her funeral expenses. Unfortunately she did not have any type of life insurance or burial insurance either. So the costs will be falling mainly on my husband. My mother in law has ALWAYS put others before herself. And she deserves a nice funeral. I hate that I even have to set this account up. But we need help big time! Any amount at all would be greatly appreciated. Even if you can't help, if you would still share this that would be great. And of course we are accepting prayers and they are free :) My husband, Danny Sutton Jr and myself would like to thank you in advance. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, my husband, or Smith Funeral Service. God Bless you!

Due to circumstances, Barry has been unable to work for some time, therefore unable to provide for his final medical and funeral expenses. These expenses are now the responsibility of his children, many of whom have difficulties of their own. It was Barry's sincere wish to be buried next to his mother and his children are doing their best to honor that wish.

"Wil" will be greatly missed. The fund will help his surviving family pay for the necessary things that are needed for his end of life. We are greatly appreciative and touched by all of the love we have received. We want to thank you for everything you have done to help us & if you are able to donate, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
