Harry Lee McCullough, age 91, went to his Heavenly home on Monday, October 17, 2022, surrounded by his family. He was born February 19, 1931, to Joe and Marjorie (Hacker) McCullough in Batavia, Arkansas. Harry was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Betty; his son, John McCullough; his daughters, Brenda Schell and Judy Fultz; his sister, Annabelle Taylor and his brothers, Johnny McCullough and Robert McCullough.
At a young age, God called Harry into ministry. He pastored many churches as he and Betty traveled across the country. His first church was Osage Baptist Church in the '60s. Harry liked reading the Bible and talking about the Bible and Jesus. He was passionate about the gospel. He had a sweet tooth and will always be remembered for loving brownies, cakes, and pies. Harry loved any music Betty would sing, such as the Beautiful Star of Bethlehem.
Harry is survived by his son, Joe McCullough, and wife, Rose of Rogers, Arkansas; his daughters, Connie Savage of Harrison, Arkansas, Pat Hankins and husband, Jeff of Ottawa, Kansas and Tina Burns and husband, Bill of Alpena; his sons-in-law, David Fultz of Alpena and David Schell of Dubai.

Services were Saturday, October 22, 2022, at Roller-Christeson Funeral Home, with Steve Murphy officiating. Visitation was one hour prior to the service.
Pallbearers were Harry's grandchildren.
The interment was in Maplewood Cemetery.
My wife and I were driving though Maplewood today & noticed that Bro. Harry passed on Oct. 17. He preached at our church in Humnoke, AR. I considered him and Miss Betty dear friends in Christ. While watching the video I noticed a picture of him preaching from the rooftop of that church in Humnoke. It’s a day I’ll never forget. I offer my condolences to the family, but I assure you he’s in a better place rejoicing with Betty and offering praise to our blessed Savior.
My sympathies go to your family’s in the loss of a wonderful Christian and a friend to me. I’ve not known Harry. Very long, just after he moved to Maple Esplanade.
Tina,
We are so very sorry for the loss of your father. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you.
