Denise Lynn Himes, 61, of Boles, Arkansas gained her angel wings, Tuesday, August 12, 2023 at her home surrounded by her loving family. Denise was born January 25, 1961 to Herman and Grace (Burns) Singleton in Tulare, California.
Denise was one of eight children and her family meant everything to her. She loved to do puzzle books and play games with her family, especially her nieces and nephews. Denise had the purest of hearts so pure you could see it in her eyes. Her laugh was contagious. To know Denise was to love her and her spitfire self. She had a hard life but now she is free and her family will love her forever and always.
Proverbs 3:3 says, “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.” Denise lived this scripture everyday, rain or shine. She lived from her heart and she always had a pure, childlike spirit about her. Her family will always remember her positive outlook on life and the joyfulness she brought to others. She was beautiful inside and out.
Proverbs 31:25, “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the day to come.”
Denise leaves behind to cherish her memory, her six siblings: Virginia Jones of Boles, Arkansas; Herman Singleton of Boles, Arkansas; Patricia Hegwood and husband Randy of White Hall, Arkansas; Melody Chorley and husband Glen of Tulare, California; Stacey Singleton of Boles, Arkansas; and Kenny Singleton and wife Stacy of Greenwood, Arkansas. Denise is also survived by one sister-in-law Julie Hargis of Waldron, Arkansas. Aunt Nessie will be missed by numerous nieces and nephews.
Denise was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Himes; her parents, Herman and Grace Singleton; her brother, Harvey Hargis; and two nephews, Daniel Pena and Wesley Singleton.
Denise’s family will have a private memorial life celebration at a later date. Cremation arrangements are being entrusted to the Heritage Memorial Funeral Home in Waldron, Arkansas.
