BERTHA COMMUNITY…Mr. Dan Enfinger, a resident of the Bertha Community, died late Thursday morning, July 2, 2026, in a Dothan hospital. He was 54.
Celebration of Life Services will be held at 6:00 P.M. Tuesday, July 7, 2026, in New Hope Baptist Church, Bertha Community, with Pastor Daniel Huff officiating. The family will receive friends from 5:00 until 6:00 P.M. Tuesday at the church. Fuqua Bankston Funeral Home of Ozark is in charge of arrangements
Dan was a native and lifelong resident of the Bertha Community, a place he loved deeply and was proud to call home throughout his life. He graduated from G.W. Long High School in 1990 and later attended Wallace Community College. Dan was known by many for his kind heart, strong work ethic, and his ability to make friends wherever he went.
Music was one of Dan’s greatest passions. A lifelong musician, he played in several bands over the years and was especially talented behind a drum set. Whether he was performing on stage or simply playing for enjoyment, music brought him happiness and allowed him to share his gift with others. Those who knew him well will always remember his love for music and the joy it brought into his life.
Dan was also a devoted Auburn University sports fan who faithfully cheered on the Tigers every chance he got. Win or lose, Auburn athletics were a source of excitement and pride for him, and he enjoyed sharing that enthusiasm with family and friends.
In addition to his love of music and sports, Dan had an incredible talent for building and creating. He was the kind of person who could look at a project and figure out how to make it happen. From small repairs to large construction projects, there was little he could not build. One of his proudest accomplishments was building his own home with his own hands, along with a special “man cave” where he could relax and enjoy time with friends and family. If someone needed help, Dan was often the first person they would call, knowing he would gladly lend a hand and put his skills to work.
Above all else, Dan loved his family. He treasured the time spent with those he held dear and never missed an opportunity to make memories with them. His caring nature extended beyond people to the animals he loved, especially his kittens, which brought him endless companionship and comfort.
Whenever he had the chance to get away, he and his wife’s favorite destination was Apalachicola, Florida. He found peace and happiness there, enjoying the laid-back atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and special moments spent with loved ones. It was a place where he could relax, recharge, and appreciate the simple things in life.
Professionally, Dan was dedicated to his career and took great pride in his work. At the time of his passing, he was employed with C Spire as an Underground Construction Supervisor, a position he held with commitment, professionalism, and respect from his coworkers. He was also a faithful member of New Hope Baptist Church, where his faith was an important part of his life.
Dan will be remembered as a talented musician, a gifted builder, a loyal Auburn fan, and a hardworking man who never met a challenge he was afraid to tackle. More importantly, he will be remembered for the love he shared with his family and friends, the kindness he showed to others, and the lasting impact he made on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His memory will be cherished forever by those who loved him.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Raymond Franklin Bean and Merle Spears Bean, and his paternal grandparents, Hugh Dorsey Enfinger and Helen Grantham Enfinger.
Surviving relatives include his wife, Brandy Enfinger, Bertha Community; two sons, Trey Fulgham (Staff Sergeant, United States Army), Killeen, Texas and Coulter Fulgham (CW1, United States Army) and his wife, Kayla, Clarksville, Tennessee; his parents, Danny and Ellen Bean Enfinger, Bertha Community; sister, Juli Thomas (Cliff), Mulberry, Georgia; mother-in-law, Patricia Tomlinson (Henry Williams), Ozark; nephews, Grayson Thomas (Chandler), Ford Thomas, Tate Thomas, and Tucker Thomas; great-nephew, Teddy; his blood hound, Ann; aunts, uncles, and cousins.

SKIPPERVILLE…With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, Mimi, sister, and friend, Tammy Lynn Snell, who was born on November 18, 1966, and passed away unexpectedly on July 2, 2026, from a sudden health issue while surrounded by her devoted husband and children. Her passing came as a complete shock, and her family is heartbroken by this unimaginable loss. Though her time with us ended far too soon, she was surrounded by the love of her family until her very last breath—a reflection of the way she spent her life loving each of us.
To know Tammy was to know unconditional love. She had a beautiful soul and a free spirit who found joy in life’s simplest treasures. She loved walking the land she called home, wearing her flowing boho dresses, journaling and writing poems, listening to music and soaking up the sunshine. She had a special love for her dogs, who were never far from her side, and believed every day was made a little brighter by wildflowers.
For thirty-two wonderful years, Tammy shared a love story with her husband, David E. Snell. Some of their happiest moments were the quiet ones—sitting together on the porch, watching hummingbirds dance through the air while their beloved dogs, Boston, EG, Basil, Bee, and Denver White Bear, played in the yard. David never bought Tammy flowers from a store because he knew what she loved most. Instead, he would walk their land and pick her wildflowers, a simple gesture that perfectly reflected the beautiful life they built together.
Her greatest joy, however, was being “Mimi.” There was no title she cherished more. She never watched life from the sidelines. She sat on the floor building projects, searched for seashells and arrowheads, explored the outdoors, laughed until everyone’s stomach hurt, and made each of her grandchildren feel like they were the most important person in the world. She had a remarkable gift for turning ordinary moments into lifelong memories.
Tammy was the heart of her family. She loved fiercely, gave selflessly, and always put others before herself. Her kindness, gentle spirit, and unwavering love created a home where everyone felt welcomed, accepted, and safe. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, laughter, strength, and unconditional love that will continue to live on in all who knew her.
She is survived by her devoted husband of thirty two years, David E. Snell; her children, Jamie Erwin (Scott), AJ Snell (Ashley Armstrong) , Matt Snell (Casey), and River Snell (Matt Cole); her treasured grandchildren, Skylar, Ryder, Logan, Poppy, and Millie Kaye, who were truly the light of her life; her sister, Laurie Ballard (Shane); her brother-in-law, Greg Snell; her sister-in-law, Angie McClelland (Mike); her late sister, Sherri Kaye Ferris; Mother in law Marilyn Kaye Snell and Father in law Arthur Lee Snell (Donna Snell); and many extended family members and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.
Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in imagining Tammy exactly as she would want to be—walking Heaven’s fields in a flowing boho dress, wearing a crown of wildflowers, surrounded by peace, and finally home. We like to think Heaven needed a hippie.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Tammy’s memory to the Dale County Humane Society, a cause close to her heart.
The family also encourages everyone to honor Tammy’s memory by spending time with the people you love, taking a walk outdoors, searching for seashells or arrowheads, hugging your children a little tighter, watching the hummingbirds, and never taking a single ordinary day for granted.
Tammy was deeply loved. She will be forever missed, forever remembered, and forever present in every wildflower that blooms, every hummingbird that visits, every adventure shared with her grandchildren, and every story that begins with, “Remember when Mimi…”
“So many people live life never knowing Love but….. we do” – Tammy Lynn Snell
Celebration of Life will be shared privately among the family. Fuqua Bankston Funeral Home of Ozark is in charge of arrangements.

Betty earned three associate degrees, including her nursing degree, proving that it is never too late to pursue new goals. She later worked as a caregiver for terminally ill patients, a role that reflected her caring nature and willingness to help others.
Betty was also active in her community. She spent several years working with Girls, Inc. and enjoyed teaching craft classes through SARCOA and other local senior centers. She loved sharing her creativity and spending time with others.
She is survived by her son, Steve Bryant and wife Stacie; her daughter, Nina Mielkie and husband Steven of Lancaster, South Carolina; her brother, Hoyt Croxton of Haughton, Louisiana; her sister, Nell Gillcreath of Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

Betty will be remembered as someone who spoke her mind and stood by what she believed. She could be stern and outspoken, but those who knew her best also knew how generous and caring she was.
