Zettie Lee (Vickers) Gibson, 80, of Batesville went to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, June 19, 2018.
She was born in Jennie to the late Easton Wright and Rosie Alma Vickers on Sunday, August 22, 1937.
Zettie was a Christian lady who was very active with the youth at the church and loved her family very much. She enjoyed working with flowers in her garden. Her love for history and art led her to creating historic dolls. She made every detail on each doll with love and care, from the hair and clothing, to the books each one held. Her dolls were loved so much, they were displayed in the Phillips County Museum.
She is survived by her loving husband, Claude Randle Gibson Sr.; one son, Claude Gibson Jr. (Pat) of Marion; two daughters, Devora Tappan (David) of Batesville, Joetta Walker of Sherwood; six grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
Zettie is preceded in death by her parents, her father, Tom, one brother, and five sisters.
Pallbearers will be Allen Tappan, Trent Tappan, Randle Gibson, Charles Drennan Jr., Carl Ray Drennan, and Robert Drennan.
A funeral service will be held at the Roller Citizens Chapel in West Helena at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 21, 2018 with Brother Byron Roberts and Brother Terry Floyd officiating. Burial will follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens.
There will be no visitation.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Humane Society of the Delta 8480 Phillips 300 Rd. Helena, AR. 72342
