Hurtleen James Mcanally

Hurtleen James McAnally, 91, of Iuka, MS, passed away on Sunday, March 29, 2020, at Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo, MS. Momma used her gifts and talents, which blessed with many, in the church, for her children, grandchildren, neighbors, and friends. She was a wonderful cook, excellent seamstress, and loved and shared growing and cooking fresh vegetables. The smell of tea cakes coming off the beach, the excitement of a smocked dress for Easter, fresh peas and okra from the garden; these will always be lovingly remembered. Our momma and friend passed this life peacefully. She is survived by her daughters, Cathy Bonds and Jennie Gross (Jimmy); her son, Charles “Buddy” McAnally (Donna); her sister in law, Nettie Smith; her grandchildren, Sonni Hodge (Mike), Beau Gross (Allison), Devin Dickey (Heather), Phillip Lewis (Amy), Anna Kessler (David), Sandy Wyers (Adam), Brandon McAnally (Paula), and Ben McAnally (Anna Reid); her great grandchildren, Amy, Heather, Anna Claire, Caroline, Mary Houston, Layla, Witt, John Arthur, Reese, Ellie, Makayla, Bonds, Madison, Sophie, Macie, Charlie, Julie, Assie, and Sloan; her great great grandchildren, Foster, Easton, and Addie Grace; several nieces and nephews, and her special friend and caregiver, Dawn Lester. She was preceded in death by her husband, John Junior McAnally; her parents, Arthur and Ruth Skinner James; her grandson, Gary George; her son in law, David Bonds; and her siblings, Temple James, Rassie James, Boyce James, Elmer James, Charles James, Bessie Kelley, Josephine McVay, Frances McAnally, Edna Moss, and Thelma Allen.
