Tabitha Dorrell, of Mansfield AR, treasured wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt passed away on June 29, 2023, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. She was born on January 1, 1982, to her parents, Doyle Price and Denetta Smallwood.
She spent many of the best years of her life married to Cliff Dorrell. Together, they created a beautiful family, filled with lots of chaos, noise and love. Tabitha is survived by her husband Cliff and their nine children: MiraBella Dorrell, Cari Oliver (Aaron), Cassidy Cain, Elizabeth Stricken (Derek), Jason McAlister (Talia), Payton McAlister (Shelby), Hunter Dorrell (Kira), Josh Dorrell (Elizabeth), and Joseph Dorrell (Keia). She loved her kids more than life itself. Tabitha leaves behind eight grandchildren, who were the source of endless joy and pride. Their names are Tenley Grace, Keyton, Brady Parker, Dawson, Rayleigh, Izabella, Baylee, Noah, and Lucas. She was also survived by her mother Denetta Smallwood (Randy), sisters Sunny Bray (Mike) and Bobbie Simmons (Eddie) and a whole host of nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father and grandparents.
Tabitha lived her life to the fullest. She was always on the sideline of a ball field or gymnasium cheering on one of her favorite people. It was as a Mom and Mimi that Tabitha truly thrived. Her children and grandchildren were her every reason. Tabitha was fiercely loyal, honest to a fault and God help you if you were in the wrong because you were going to hear it. However, she was also the first one to let you know how proud she was of you for a job well done. She will be missed more than words can say.
Memorial service will be 2:00 p.m. Monday July 3, 2023 at Huntington First Baptist Church in Huntington, AR. A cremation will be under the direction of Martin Funeral Home in Mansfield, AR.
