Terry McCullar

Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford Mr. Terry McCullar, 66, passed away on Monday, December 9, 2024, at his home surrounded by his loving family. A graveside service will be held on Friday, December 13, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. at Liberty Hill Baptist Church Cemetery (761 Liberty Hill Rd., Pope, MS 38658). Pastor Jarrett Jamieson will officiate. Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford is in charge of arrangements. Terry was born May 29, 1958 in Water Valley, MS, to his parents, Dean and D.L. McCullar. For over 30 years, Terry excelled as an elevator technician, where his expertise and dedication were unmatched. He was not just an elevator technician; he took on the roles of a farmer, cattleman, dirt worker, and shop builder with confidence and skill, proving that he was committed to hard work in every aspect of his life. He also had a passion for haggling and bartering, always striving for the best deal. This savvy approach characterized his personality and demonstrated his keen sense of negotiation. Terry was also an extremely straight forward man. You always knew where you stood with him, and he was also always willing to pass on a few life lessons and tips to anyone he thought he could help. Terry absolutely loved working and staying busy; however, he loved nothing more than his beloved wife Ginger and the life they built together. His greatest pride was his family. Terry loved his children and grandchildren fiercely, investing his time and energy into their lives and achievements. They were his joy and motivation. Terry will be remembered for his strength, determination, and unwavering commitment to family and work. His legacy will continue to inspire those fortunate enough to know him. Terry is survived by his two daughters, Heather (Dustin) Callihan of Batesville, MS, and Courtney (Wendi) McCullar of Senatobia, MS; three grandchildren, Presley Callihan, Easton Callihan, and Maggie Callihan; three step-grandchildren, Wyatt Ott, Leikyn Ott, and Harper Cosby; his sister, Sherry (Tom) Black of Clarksdale, MS; one brother, Joe McCullar of Enid, MS; and a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family members. Terry was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ginger Robertson McCullar; and his parents, Dean and D.L. McCullar.
