Sandra Barber Callihan, 59 and a resident of Franklinton, died early Sunday morning, Sept. 14, at Regency Hospital in Covington.

Visitation was Tuesday at Crain Funeral Home and continued there today after 9 a.m. Services are 11 a.m. Wednesday in the funeral home chapel, with the Rev. Paul Watts officiating. Burial will follow in the Stateline United Pentecostal Church Cemetery.

She enjoyed cross-stitching and tending her flowers, but her favorite pastime was fishing, as she could spend hours enjoying the peaceful time. She was always a loving wife and mother.

She is survived by her husband of 26 years, William “Billy” Callihan of Franklinton; two daughters, Tracy Hughes of Des Moines, Iowa, and Amber Brumfield of Franklinton; a stepdaughter and spouse, Amanda and Jason Thames of McComb, Miss.; five grandchildren; three sisters and brothers-in-law, Susan Barber, Theresa and Michael Dufrene and Sheila and Daniel W. Bosch Sr., all of Franklinton; a special friend, Laura Brumfield; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Stuart Varnado, Kyle Varnado, Daniel Bosch, Danny Bosch, Michael Dufrene and Keith Thomas.
