In Memory of
David Lee Mangum
1947 - 2012

David L. Mangum loved music. As organist for the Delta Presbyterian Church, he brought music to the ears of thousands. In the greater Delta community, he was visible everywhere, offering his time and energy in service where needed. Whether through music, drama, or exploring local history, he loved what he did. This wind-chime is placed in his memory as a reminder of his legacy to this community.
