Mr. Ted Mayhall was born March 23, 1939, in Memphis, TN. He served his community in many facets throughout his life. He was a Third Degree Mason-Grand Lodge #617, served in MS House of Representatives District 40 for two terms, and was election commissioner for Desoto County. He also served on the Horn Lake Creek Basin Water System. His lifetime of service began in his early years when he served as both Lt. Governor and President of the Key Club for Whitehaven High School. Although Ted was dedicated to serving his community, his biggest pride in life was his family. He was married for 64 years to his high school sweetheart, Minnie, and together raised four beautiful children. He was also a grandfather to seven grandchildren and a great-grandfather to seven great-grandchildren. He took pride in being a mentor to his family, and loved supporting his grandchildren in all their endeavors, whether it be pageants or baseball games. When he was not at events with his grandchildren, Ted could be found playing golf, his favorite past-time. He was an inspiration to everyone around him, and will be greatly missed. Mr. William Theodore Mayhall, Jr. is survived by his wife, Minnie Mayhall of Southaven, MS; his sons, Ted Mayhall (Tina H.) of Southaven and Josh Mayhall (Tina W.) of Nesbit, MS; and his daughters, Kelly Parsons (Bucky) of Collierville, TN and Cindy Mayhall (Priscilla) of Bay St. Louis, MS.
