In his youth, he learned (and loved) to hunt, fish, and ride horses with his Dad and also his childhood friend Jimmy Judy. In his teenage years, football was his passion.

 As much as a boy loves to play, he was encouraged to work on the farm along side the rest of his family, which included his older sister Linda and younger sister Donna. He worked hard and, as a young teen, supervised several hay-hauling crews.

When he graduated from high school in 1959, Jerry proudly enlisted in the Navy, where he served his beloved country and saw the world. During many long, lonely watches as a Radioman, he developed a love of reading.After his honorable discharge from the Navy, he attended Arkansas Tech. He graduated in 3 years with a double major in Economics and Business Administration, while also working full-time. He enjoyed learning and continued his education at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, even entering their law school for a year before his job at Campbell Soup took priority to support his family. Always employed, he held supervisory positions in Fayetteville, AR; Carthage, MO; Milford, DE; and Waco, TX.

Jerry enjoyed traveling with his wife, Susan, and their daughter, Tylitha. He loved history, hiking, horseback riding, reading, watching sports, music, a good thunderstorm, and listening to ocean waves. He was a true romantic. Almost always surrounded by women, he was also a man of great patience.

Jerry returned to his boyhood home with Susan and Tylitha (“my girls,” as he called them) after retiring. He kept in touch with most of his friends, many commenting that he asked about their family, but never mentioned his declining health.

Jerry is survived by his loving wife and life companion of 48 years, Susan. His daughters Stephanie (Randy) Hamilton of Prairie Grove, AR, and Tylitha Davis of Waldron, AR. His grandchildren, Chad Hamilton, Justin Zaccanti, Todd Lankford, Tanner Goolsby, Ian Davis, and their families. Susan’s family enthusiastically welcomed Jerry into their family. Dianne (Greg) Wenrich, Rose Wenrich, all of Indiana; Bob (Robyn) Wenrich, California; Catherine (Jim) Heffernan, Pennsylvania; their children and grandchildren. Jerry is also survived by his two sisters: Linda Goodner of Fort Smith, Arkansas and Donna Judy of Harrison, Arkansas along with their children, Randy Judy, Stewart Judy, Greg Goodner and Karan Rogers.

Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, daughter, Stacey Davis, and brother-in-laws Jimmy Judy and Jim Wenrich.

Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at Birdsview Church, Waldron, AR, beginning at noon, there will be a viewing, at 2:00 p.m., the service will begin, followed by Military Honors and graveside prayer. 

Jerry’s love, firm handshakes, tight embraces, and mischievous grin will hold his memory for us who were honored to know him.

After serving in the military, Bob and family moved back to Scott County and bought a farm in Cauthron, Arkansas. This farm is where Rick grew up and learned from his parents that hard work, honest values and love would be his way of life. 

Rick’s family moved to Waldron when he was sixteen and he loved it. Rick went to school in Waldron from first grade to graduation. He loved playing basketball, baseball and softball along side his buddies.Upon graduating, Rick went on to college where he worked to become a master electrician. This college helped him get the job at Arkansas Nuclear One Power Plant in Russellville Arkansas. 

The move to Russellville led to marriage and children Kyle and Christopher Hall. Rick was very involved with both boys and enjoyed going to all of their sport activities and school functions. He also enjoyed taking the boys camping and hunting with some of his best friends Roy Pyle and Rick Deeds. Rick also played on a softball league during the summers as well as volleyball. 

Rick also loved the outdoors which led him to his dream to move back to Scott County and buy some land at Cauthron which is where he spent his retirement years. Rick found the place that made him the happiest along with his dogs Buck, Ella, Rosie and Kitty.

Rick leaves behind to cherish his memory, his children: Kyle Alan Hall and Christopher Ryan Hall both of Waldron, Arkansas. Rick will be missed by all that knew him and the many whose lives he impacted including friends, neighbors and loved ones.

Chad Ashley Lane stepped into eternity and into the arms of Jesus on Friday, April 23, 2026. He spoke often of the Lamb’s Book of Life and made sure his name was written in it.

We can only imagine the things he now sees and experiences, but maybe a big banner was hung that said, “Welcome home, Chad, Welcome HOME!”

She went on to graduate from Arkansas Vo-Tech in 1974, where she was not only honored as Miss Vo-Tech, but also distinguished with the prestigious Secretary of the Year award – a testament to her dedication, excellence, and the quiet strength she carried throughout her life.

That same year, 1974, she married the love of her life, Steve Hattabaugh, and together they built a home filled with faith, laughter, and a love that never wavered.

Marquita was a proud and passionate supporter of causes close to her heart, including the American Heart Association, World Vision, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Shriners Hospitals for Children, and the March of Dimes. She believed deeply in giving, in serving, and in making the world a little brighter for those in need.

She was never happier than when she was surrounded by her family – whether on a cherished family vacation, on a mission trip serving others, on a shopping trip with the ones she loved, or simply gathered together in the warmth of home. She loved Jesus above all things, and that love poured into every corner of her life. Strong, courageous, and steadfast in her faith, Marquita lived as a true servant of God and a blessing to everyone she encountered.
