Wilburn Strayhorn

Wilburn “Slim” Strayhorn, 95, of Searcy, Arkansas went to heaven, December 22, 2017, to be with Evelyn (2013), his wife of 66 years.  They were married Valentine’s Day 1946.

A special thanks goes to his caregivers (he loved you) and to his Veterans Administration Health Care team.  We couldn’t have done it without you. He will be missed.
