She was married to Doug Gallahar for 54 years.
Mrs. Gallahar was born in Talladega, Ala., on Oct. 23, 1940; she was the daughter of Robert and Verna Sims.
She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and was one of the proud founding members of Vilonia Church of Christ. She was Vice President of Board of Directors of Vilonia Veterans Museum.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Faye Langster; her brother, Dale Sims; and a son, Terry Gallahar.

She enjoyed cooking, reading, crosswords, sewing but mostly spending time with her family and church family. She touched many lives and was a great supporter of Vilonia sports, businesses and was a key volunteer at the Vilonia Veterans Museum.
