*Obituary
Exie Elizabeth (Eddie) Gunn entered peacefully into the presence of her Savior and Lord Jesus Christ on Friday, Sept. 30, 2005. A lifelong resident of Van Buren and the widow of the late C.C. (Pistol) Gunn, she had resided in Tulsa since his death in 1998. She was a devoted member of the First Baptist Church in Van Buren where she faithfully served her entire life. She was a humble servant who lived a life that drew others to Christ because her life showed the reality of what she professed. In addition to her husband of 66 years, she was preceded in death by her son, Johnson Gunn; her brothers, Aubrey Johnson and Marshall Johnson; and her sisters, Robbie Upton, Dorothy Crow, and Louise O'Bryan.
Eddie is survived by her daughters, Judy Maness and Jane and son-in-law, Jean Barrett; daughter-in-law, Sonya Gunn; grandchildren, Jay and Patty Gunn, Lisa and Jack Chapman, Mike and Tonya Maness, Michelle Maness, John Barrett and Jenny Barrett; and six precious great-grandchildren, Taylor, Paige, and Samantha Gunn, Abbey and Ally Chapman, and Wyatt Maness. She is also survived by her devoted caregiver, Carolyn McCall. Our present pain is far overshadowed by the joy of knowing she is totally healed and with those she so loved who had gone before. "Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die." John 11:25-26. Service is 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5, at the First Baptist Church in Van Buren.
