Barbara "Barb" Ann Cull, 80, of Sherwood, Arkansas danced into Heaven on June 20, 2021, surrounded by her family at Baptist Health NLR. Barb is survived by her husband of 61 years, Merrel "Sonny" Cull.

Barb was born June 9, 1941, in St. Louis, Missouri to Raymond and Jessie Beckmann.

Siblings include Leo Beckmann (Anita), Joe Beckmann (Patricia), Kathleen Wood, Mary Henderson (Bruce), and Rose Mary Guehne and Robert Beckmann who preceded her in death. Barb and Sonny were married on November 3, 1960, in St. Louis, Missouri.

Barb attended Northwest High School in House Springs, Missouri moving to Cedar Hill, Missouri shortly after marrying, where they raised their family for over 50 years before moving to Sherwood, Arkansas in 2005.

Barb's passions were FAMILY, gardening, sewing, long walks, church, reading her Bible, and watching The Gaither's on TV.

Barb devoted her life to raising her family and is survived by: Son, Steve Cull (Tamara) of Hot Springs, Arkansas; daughter, Lynda Cull of Phoenix, Arizona; Lauri Campbell (Randy) of Sherwood, Arkansas; Amy Curtis (Stan) of Paron, Arkansas; multiple nieces and nephews who all loved their Aunt Barb; eight grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. All were very close to their grandmother and spent time with her almost weekly. She often talked about and cherished "shotgun rides" with granddaughter Sarah. You could also find Barb at as many events as she could supporting the grand-children and great-grand-children.

Barb was preceded in death by her parents, and her brother. Barb was raised in the Catholic Church, but attended a Baptist church most of her life and loved visiting Centerpoint Church for the annual Women's Christmas event.

Visitation with the family will be on Tuesday, June 22, 2021, at 1:00 p.m., followed by a celebration of life service at 2:00 p.m., at Centerpoint Church in Benton, Arkansas. Steve's and Tamara's beloved Pastors Pat and Kathi Dezort will conduct the service. Barb asked for her cremated remains to be put by a tree by the lake so she could "see the water" so they will be placed at the lakes/ponds that Steve, Lauri, Lynda, and Amy live beside.

The family would like to give a special thank you to the staff of Baptist NLR especially Violet, Daisy, Colecia, and Carla (3rd Floor) who were with us during the last hours of Barb's life-their compassion during our most difficult time will never be forgotten.

When preparing for the service, the family found in Barb's well worn Bible a bookmark with the scripture "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways" – Psalm 91:11 with a handwritten note that she had added on the back that read "If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever. Someday when the pages of my life end, I know that you will be one of its most beautiful chapters."
