William “Bill” Dwight Strickland, Jr., passed away Monday, October 19, 2026, at Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth. He was born October 5, 1942, to the late William Dwight Strickland, Sr. and Margaret Joslin Strickland. He was a Baptist, served in the National Guard, worked in the Real Estate business; owned and operated Century 21.
To say that he, as well as Aunt Barbara will be missed, does not sufficiently describe the feeling. They were a giant presence in all of our lives and may the memories continue to be shared by two brothers; Robert Strickland and Jimmy Strickland, both of Glen; three sisters in law, Mary Lunsford of Parson, TN, Lavonne Griffin of Houston, MS and Susie Rainey (David) of Corinth, MS; nieces and nephews, Michelle (Missy) Hancock of Houston, MS, J Lunsford (Carol) of Parsons, TN, Angie Terry of Decatur, AL, Lesley Fortune (Jason) of Savannah, TN, Shane Castile (Mandy) of Corinth, MS, Shana Cook (Kerry) of Corinth, MS, Jessica Pettit (Tyler) of Houston, MS, Erin Baker (Jake) of Corinth, MS; and a host of great nieces and nephews, all that he loved dearly.
He was preceded in death by his parents and the love of his life, Barbara Ann Voyles Strickland on June 29, 2022.
