Dwana, I’m reading you book now. A great book! May you rest with your daddy and momma now in heaven. You were strong like your daddy, you made him and your family proud!
I was 13 when that happened. I remember watching the movie and your Dad instantly became my hero. You have had a tragic childhood and I wish you all the best for the rest of your life. Your Mom and Dad will always have a place in my heart. Take care Dwana. Frank Dagg Maple Ridge B.C.
I have been a huge Fan ever since the original movie premiered in early 70s. I was at that movie even though I was barely a teenager! Well, I finally accomplished a life- long wish to visit Sheriff Pusser Home & Museum yesterday 11-2-24! Met Ms.Dottie and really enjoyed the Tour and meeting Ms.Tina and Mr.Steve that sold me and my gf Amber souvenirs from the Gift Shop and even got pictures of me holding the actual sticks Sheriff Pusser used during his Career as Sheriff of McNairy County Tennessee! Visited the Family that is Adamsville Cemetery. Also had pics and videos of Highway Memorial of Sheriff Pusser. I definitely will return someday again and highly recommend everyone to visit these wonderful Museum and learn about the amazing Life of Buford Pusser Family.❤️🙏
What a fine lady inside and outside beautiful, who has been through so much. I read her book, "Still Walking." Very good read, and such honesty, and grace, and love.
Met Mr. Pusser while him an Dewanna were vacationing in Florida, an were staying at Holiday Inn. Spent 1 afternoon talking about a million things. Felt like I knew him all my life. He was such a down to earth, passionate about his life, kind of man. We parted as new friends, promising 2 see each other again sometime, somewhere. He told me of a premonition that he dreamed of having an "accident of somekind" and not being able to "see his daughter",. He was telling me this, his eyes tearing up. Very shortly, within days of this, he was gone. Such a sad, sad ending to a courgeous man who had the heart of a lion.
Wow thanks for sharing this poignant story. There are liars and bearers of false against this courageous, one in million man. Evil hates good and will lie like a dog; to take him down. So many tried to kill him constantly. I guess that was the Lord getting him ready to meet his maker. I feel sorry his daughter had to grow up parentless. I know that Buford's mother was there for her while she was alive. Sad, sad story of a great American Hero. Abraham was killed for trying to do good. He defended a catholic priest who was sharing the bible to his church. That is no no for catholics. They have their own bible which is not allowed for the parishoners and they jesuits never forget and that's why he was killed. Very sad world we live in. Fortunately, Jesus is coming back VERY SOON!
Dwana , I got to tour the museum, what a great experience , thanks so much for not giving and opening the museum ! What a great way to honor your dad !!!
I moved from Jackson, TN to Huntsville, AL to work for NASA in 1965. I recall reading fascinating newspaper stories about your father's exploits while being the sheriff. I've seen all the movies but there was one news article that I remember that was one of the most heroic of all, yet this incident was never shown in any of the movies. He was attempting to arrest a man who was trying to flee in a pickup truck. As the man started driving away, he jumped on the step and struggled with the driver as he sped away. The suspect shot him twice but the sheriff still overpowered him and put him in jail! Enjoyed hearing your stories on the Frankie Lax Show today.
Me too. Have you read her book "Walking On." It is so good and so full of her life and dreams, and not once is she bitter from all the hatred that was taken out on her family. I just read it again the second time. I was wondering if she was okay since I heard she had MS and we hadn't heard anything more from her until this. She is such a sweet person and so kind to everyone.
I wish that I could have met her father and I'm fortunately I would never ever get to meet her at least you passed away and there were three of them all of very good people and I'm so sorry I love the movies I love all of them that is a great movie I wish there was more man like mr. Buford person
Rest in peace honey. Your father I will honor my whole life. You were soooooo beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life story with us. Love you. And miss you Dwana.
@@marvinmartian7281 Just respect her memory man. You don't know for sure where she went after she passed so let her rest and keep your opinions to your ignorant self.
Great person! I grew up in south and always admired the man. I am glad to see he is remembered and respected. We need a whole lot more of him. Thanks Dwana!
Yes your dad was a American Hero. I just finished watching all three of the first three movies again. And watching you tube videos about him. I wish we had more like him.
your dad was an awesome man and we know were he is .for standing up for what is good and right in heaven !! and I'm glad their is a good peace of him still living in this world I hope ur treated well were ever you go in this world. coz you diserive to be and I hope you brought some kid's in the world and one is a boy who growes up to be a good man like ur dad !!! may God bless you and ur Family.
As Dwana mentioned in this video her mother had two children from a previous marriage, a son and a daughter, the daughter wanted no part of the movie when it was made and so she wasn't shown or mentioned.
He was a tyrant and POS. Dwana, was a dope head and drunk. She stayed at my house drunk and high while her greedy Dad was murdered. Go ahead and argue my point. I have actual film coverage on this POS in action.
Dwana, I have to apologist for some of my fellow posters; the nut jobs you see posting here; it's unbelievable how stupid and crude some people can be. But I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I visited the museum last summer and was completely fascinated by it. You guys have done a wonderful job putting it together. God Bless.
he was a good man i would have loved to meet him and have a cup of coffee and just talk to him im sorry this happened to both him and pauline i saw the movie i cried through it
@@Fuzzamajumula shot 8 times...stabbed 7 times. Took down 6 guys that attacked him( 3 to hospital and 3 arrested) I'd say he was pretty tough and walked taller than his 6ft 6inches...more like 10 ft tall.
Rest in peace I know that life can be difficult sometimes but your dad would have been proud of you and no matter what you would have done and your mom for anybody that reach this just remember that there's always light at the end the darkest tunnels in the world and always put your face first in front of everything and life will always get better your dad's one of my biggest Heroes he was a real man and I think the people's really should look up to him and I appreciate all that you did and honoring his legacy I do believe that the answer to happiness is faith I'm sorry you felt the need to go the way you did but I hope that you see your mom and dad again and have I hope to meet your dad at Heaven too and shake his hand and you too because you are all sore hero because in a way you stood up for what you believe is right you wanted to honor a real hero so I thank you for starting the museum...
I stopped by last week mid day, but sadly, bad timing on my part probably. I think you were closed, or out. Well, I did a tribute to the Pusser family here on my channel: th-cam.com/video/8HJmIfG7B_g/w-d-xo.html Mr. Pusser is a huge hero of mine...I wish I could have met him back then. What an amazing legacy. And what an all American role model for all to follow. May the entire family that has passed, Rest In Peace.
wow! havent seen you since about 1976. my name is stan. i live in newton kansas. stan jones on face book. mike cagle is my nephew. you and he went to high school together. good to see you. look us up on face book.
I just recently read that she has passed away .i don't know all the details.her father was a legendary Lawman.she was Brave&Beautiful.R.I.P.Lovly 👩 lady.😍😍😍😍😍
I remember seeing this movie 🍿🎥 when I was very young (child). I remember watching this with my parents and sisters. Til this day, I still can't believe that this horror story was based on true events, 😢wow! I never knew about this museum either. It's just sad that this really happened. I remember reading a little about this movie. I read that there were a few guys left, these were the bad guys. I read that they ended up dead in a hotel I believe. But karma is a bitch! Remember that.
I was wondering if you ever thought about having a video game about Buford made? Having a game with all those big long V8s chasing around might make a good game. Just an idea.
What a nice Introduction to her Family. Without knowing details, I’m hopeful she ended up in Witness Protection. The MOB is widely interconnected. They’ve been involved in another Criminal effort that’s currently being removed by Military. It’s thought she would have been a high value Target hopefully forcing her into Witness Protection using Suicide as an excuse.
hey Dwana, I knew about your father Buford Pusser.He was a great man who became a sheriff in McNairy County,Tn.But i need information how to make my true story called Walking Tall. I have been walked tall in my life in 1981 to Present.If you have any ideas for my true story of Walking tall & I wanted to talk about how i lived & work & stuff.I wanted teach other people about my life.
Andrew Joseph Hasty omg !! Will you ever make a movie ?? Or write a book ?? Can I cut your grass ?? Or maybe wash your car ?? Clean your pool ????? Any thing !!

Dwana, one day I plan on visiting your dad's museum. I really admired your dad.
this is the kind of lawman we need today what a gutsy man this is an example to live by
no we dont he was acually a dirty cop
@@robertcollett7115 But your mom loved him.
Liar, NO Proof, you bear false witness against your neighbor and that is a sin.@@robertcollett7115

Her grandparents probably raised her. I wonder why she took her own life.
A great American hero! Rest in peace Buford and his love!

I just a few minutes ago finished reading Dwana's book.
Walking On. RIP 😇 DWANA ❤
Sure do miss you Dwana! You was a sweet lady!
Damn sad day, Rip Dwana pusser
Was it ever stated how she passed away?
@@flippindocks8183 , I read in some other comments that said she killed herself. Not sure if that is accurate or not sir .
@@flippindocks8183 She committed sucide.
Omg, I did not know she died. She was beautiful
@@CasinoMan2005 very beautiful
Thank you Mrs.Dwana. may you forever Rest In Peace with your Mom and Dad.
I saw Mr. Pusser at a movie theater when I was a kid and he looked so big and tuff!! I was afraid to make eye contact!
Rest in peace honey. Your father I will honor my whole life. You were soooooo beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life story with us. Love you. And miss you Dwana.
RIP Dawana😔
Deana, thanks..I'm going to make it down there, I saw the other museum display in the early 1990s..take care and hope to see you soon..
I will miss you both keep walking tall in heaven R.I.P.

Buford was a real American hero. Dwana Pusser carried on their name very well. Rip all of you. 😢
Looks like her mom! Both are very pretty ladies
TAKE IT EASY LOVE ANGEL, I'M SURE MISS PUSSER HAS HEARD IT ALL BEFORE.
In the movie Walking Tall, Buford has
two children..Son was named Mike..There is no reference to him when I read about his family..Only his daughter.
jabm0495 In real life he actually only had one child and that was Dwana. For some reason the producers added a son.
As Dwana mentioned in this video her mother had two children from a previous marriage, a son and a daughter, the daughter wanted no part of the movie when it was made and so she wasn't shown or mentioned.
Your dad spoke softly and carry a big stick.
My prayers for the family.
He is a legend, RIP young lady
He was a tyrant and POS. Dwana, was a dope head and drunk. She stayed at my house drunk and high while her greedy Dad was murdered.
Go ahead and argue my point. I have actual film coverage on this POS in action.
met him as a kid dam GREAT man ,,
Dwana, I have to apologist for some of my fellow posters; the nut jobs you see posting here; it's unbelievable how stupid and crude some people can be. But I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I visited the museum last summer and was completely fascinated by it. You guys have done a wonderful job putting it together. God Bless.
the video was great hope to go to Tenn. To see both Buford and Elvis.
I just this moment found out you have passed, i remember when you were a kid and had come up to nashville. RIP ❤
he was a good man i would have loved to meet him and have a cup of coffee and just talk to him im sorry this happened to both him and pauline i saw the movie i cried through it
Rest in peace Dwana. Sadly missed
dwana, your father was and is an american hero, he will be remebered as a hero, please ignore the nutt jobs who make unkind remarks
Yes they are just trolls who go to every youtube post and want to fight and be hateful.
Breaks My Heart watching her Video. My family and I were personal friends of Buford. Major Loss. Especially her Children 😔

Hope to get there one day, always thought of Buford as a hero man to look up to.
i agree
Your dad really did walk tall. Damn shame how them cowards took him out.
He died in a single car accident in 1974. He survived being shot, twice.
@@Fuzzamajumula shot 8 times...stabbed 7 times. Took down 6 guys that attacked him( 3 to hospital and 3 arrested)
I'd say he was pretty tough and walked taller than his 6ft 6inches...more like 10 ft tall.
we need more men like your Dad in Law Enforcement-he was the Man!!!
Rest in peace I know that life can be difficult sometimes but your dad would have been proud of you and no matter what you would have done and your mom for anybody that reach this just remember that there's always light at the end the darkest tunnels in the world and always put your face first in front of everything and life will always get better your dad's one of my biggest Heroes he was a real man and I think the people's really should look up to him and I appreciate all that you did and honoring his legacy
I do believe that the answer to happiness is faith I'm sorry you felt the need to go the way you did but I hope that you see your mom and dad again and have I hope to meet your dad at Heaven too and shake his hand and you too because you are all sore hero because in a way you stood up for what you believe is right you wanted to honor a real hero so I thank you for starting the museum...

Is Buford Pusser that hardcore badass that beat the shit out of all the criminals in his town?
Yeah, the "Walking Tall" guy (movies-they remade the originals with the Rock I believe.)
Is he related to buford t justice from texas
Dwana passed away March 9th, 2018
Keith Frazier oh no. What happened?
anyone know????
flippindocks shot herself... poor soul.
Is it true that Elvis donated money to the Sheriff?
yes Elvis Presley did donated money to Sheriff Buford Pusser.
cowboysteel yes he did

true grit .

What ever happened to your brother Mike
You it's funny how the state always winds up withe famous peoples property
She committed Suicide feel so bad
