Bio
Callie Jean Blackard beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 15, 2017, at the Retirement Ranch in Clovis, NM. She was born in a farmhouse between Tohoka and Brownfield, TX on May 3, 1923. Callie is preceded in death by her husband, Dolphus Randolph Blackard; parents Callie Dura and Newton Milton Barham Sr; and brothers Billy Newton and John Garner Barham. ''Granny Jean'', as she was so affectionately called, is survived by three children: Jackie and Mac Bartee of Bossier City, LA, Bill and Marilyn Blackard of Clovis, NM, Tommy Blackard of Havasu Lake, CA; sister Hattie Jo Curry of Hale Center, TX; and brother NM Barham Jr and Bobbie of Livingston, TX. Granny Jean has seven grandchildren whom she loved dearly, each one being her favorite. Each of her grandchildren traveled from all corners of the United States for one more time of making memories with their precious grandmother during those last weeks of her life here on earth, for which we are truly grateful. Granny Jean's family extends to 11 great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and includes her ''adopted'' family of friends and acquaintances. Granny Jean loved everyone and everyone loved her. Her last three years was spent at her ''HOME'' at the Retirement Ranch where she was so lovingly and tenderly cared for. Words cannot express our appreciation and gratitude to each and every one of the staff members and residents at the Ranch for their never-ending love and care. Memorials may be given to the youth ministry of the Church of Christ, 1720 W, 21st Street, Clovis, NM 88101 or the American Cancer Society.
