Over the past year, COVID-19 claimed the lives of at least 6,883 Mississippians, including 1,236 Northeast Mississippi residents. Every one of those individuals had a job, a family, a purpose. Each had a story.
The Daily Journal COVID-19 Memorial Project was created to share the stories of those in our region who have died from coronavirus. Readers from across the Daily Journalâs 16-county coverage area submitted photographs and memories of their loved ones to be published as part of this project. These 20 individuals represent a tiny fraction of those weâve lost to COVID-19 in Northeast Mississippi.
We proudly share their stories with the communities they called home.
