💙 HONORING OUR COMMUNITY’S HEROES💙

Every day at Webb & Stephens Funeral Home & Forest Lawn Memory Gardens, we witness the incredible love, devotion, and sacrifice that goes into caring for a loved one. We believe the true heroes in our community are the caregivers who selflessly ease the journey of others.

Whether it is a dedicated healthcare or hospice professional bringing clinical expertise and empathy, or a family member stepping into the role of an around-the-clock caregiver at home—your devotion deserves to be celebrated. To honor these extraordinary individuals, we are proud to introduce the Compassionate Heart Award.

✨This program recognizes both professional and personal caregivers who consistently go above and beyond, providing comfort, dignity, and unwavering support during life’s most tender moments.

How it works: Each month, we will honor one nominated caregiver.
🎁 The Prize: The monthly recipient will receive a special award and a gift card.
🗣️ Who can nominate? Peers, friends, patients, families, or anyone who wishes to highlight the impact of a caregiver's service.

Join us in celebrating these heroes and showing them just how much of a difference they make.

🇺🇸 As our beloved Old Glory begins to show her age, it’s time to give her a dignified and respectful rest.🇺🇸
There is something deeply moving about watching a worn, tattered flag properly and respectfully retired. It’s a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made for our freedom and the enduring unity of our nation.
We invite you to bring your worn American flags to be properly disposed of in this time-honored, solemn tradition.
Let’s come together to honor the symbol of our country with the reverence she truly deserves. ❤️🤍💙
Please feel free to drop off your flags in advance at Webb & Stephens Funeral Homes Hwy 39N location, at the Scout Hut located at 2102 8th St Meridian, or bring them with you on the day of the event.

Brenda Gay Elliott McHann

Brenda Gay Elliott McHann entered her heavenly home on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, in New York after a brief but courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Brenda was born in Texas on March 3, 1950, to Dale La Rue Graves and John Graves. She grew up in Mississippi, graduating from Newton High School and later earning an associate degree from Meridian Community College. She worked as a dental hygienist until her retirement.

She was a devoted wife, wonderful mother, and loving grandmother. She was known lovingly as “Mimi" to her granddaughters, Collins and Rielle, a role she cherished deeply. She was very loving of her family and friends.

Brenda was proceeded in death by her parents, Dale and John Graves.

She is survived by her loving husband, Bob McHann; sons, Doug Dearing and Danny Dearing; daughter, Nikki Harrison; granddaughters, Collins and Rielle; sister and brother-in-law, Glenda and Ed McGraw, along with her extended family, her stepdaughter, Rhonda McHann Neal and stepson, Jason McHann; and special sister in-law, Pat Tyus.

Brenda and Bob were active members of Northcrest Baptist Church of Meridian.

Brenda had a deep love for travel. She and Bob shared an adventurous spirit and cherished unique experiences in their many travels throughout the United States and abroad.

Brenda also found much pleasure in growing flowers. She loved the beauty and bounty of an array of potted plants and blooming flower beds.

Brenda’s earthly journey has ended, but she knew her ultimate gift to her life would be her heavenly home. When she heard God say, “welcome home”, she was given peace and healing.

Graveside services will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026, beginning at 11:00 am at Forest Lawn Memory Gardens.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Brenda’s honor to The Baptist Children’s Village, Post Office Box 27, Clinton, MS 39060, Northcrest Baptist Church, 3412 N. Hills St., Meridian, MS 39305, or to your favorite charity of choice.

Grief doesn't follow a timeline. It isn't a straight line, and it rarely disappears completely. Instead, it transforms, shifting from an overwhelming presence to a quiet reminder of love.
It is okay to hold both pain and love at the same time. Whether your grief is quiet or loud today, please know you are not alone on this journey.
We are committed to supporting you long after the funeral service is over. We invite you to explore the "Grief" tab on our website. It is filled with articles, videos, and support guides intended to offer comfort and practical guidance when you need it most.
