Glen Higginbotham Obituary
Glen was a man of unwavering faith, quiet strength, and deep devotion to those he loved. He lived his life with integrity, kindness, and a generous heart-always ready to lend a helpinghand, share a story, or offer a word of encouragement. He loved Ole Miss football and had a fascination with a Studebaker car. His legacy will live on through his children, grandchildren, and all who were blessed to know him.
Glen is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Wanda Higginbotham; his daughters April (Jason) Grissom of Guntown and Amber (Jamie) Williams of Baldwyn; his sister Eloise Thomas of Brandon, MS; his grandchildren Carly Sudduth, McKayla Westmoreland, KyleWestmoreland, Landon Grissom, Lydia Grissom, and Mary Williams; and one great-grandchild, Ezra Foster.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters Etoyle Little (Bill) and Shelby Rhodes (Jimmy); and his brother Herley Higginbotham (Pearl).
