December 5, 2014

James Milo Conard, (Jim), 83, of Little Rock, passed into Glory, surrounded by family and friends on December 5, 2014. He was born in Cabot, Arkansas to the late Fields and Marjorie Conard.

He was also preceded by his only sibling, Bob Conard. He is survived by his wife, Bettye, of 61 years; son, Mark Conard (Phyllis) of Atlanta, Georgia; his daughters, Cheryl Harris of the Sardis Community and Lori Hamilton (Dave) of Dallas, Texas; grandchildren: Trey Harris (Jessica) of Trumann, Ben Harris of the Sardis Community, Jordan and Anna Conard of Atlanta, Georgia, and Jack, Katie & Caroline Hamilton of Dallas, Texas; and great-grandchildren, Grainger and Gracelynn.

Jim loved The Lord, his wife Bettye, his children, his extended family, life, and everyone he came in contact with. He served The Lord and the congregation of Carthage Presbyterian Church up until his passing.

He graduated from Cabot High School, Ouachita Baptist College, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and University of Pennsylvania. He was Chaplain for the Arkansas Mental Health Facility for 37 years, retired Colonel/Chaplain for 27 years in the Arkansas National Guard, Certified Marriage and Family Counselor, and Pastor of the Carthage Presbyterian Church.

Jim was a man of many hobbies, all of which he pursued with full passion. Jim was a generous servant, never met a stranger, and took many under his wing who needed help at any time.

A Memorial Service will be at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home, 13801 Chenal Parkway, Little Rock, AR 72211 (501) 224-8300 on Wednesday, December 10, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. Visitation with the family will follow the service.

Jim was a wonderful, witty person - fun to be with. He was a diligent artist, and will be missed at the Arkansas League of Artists.

This distinguished gentleman came to Heart Hospital prior to Adrian's surgery for a sweet visit & prayer. We'd never met him but knew of him through Barry & Rhonda. Words can't express how appreciated that visit was. We are glad we got to know him in that short time.

Bless you all whom he loved so dearly.

Bettye: I am so sorry for the grief you are having to bear at this time. It was a pleasure to know Jim, from the day I began to pledge to the Betas at OBU until the last time I visited with him. Unique, special, one-of-a-kind, devoted, hopeful, helpful and faithful--these are a few of the words that come to mind as I remember him with you.

God bless in your journey 'THROUGH" the valley. You will not stay in the valley long.

Don Moore, a Beta Brother

"Uncle Jim" was the brother my mother never had. He was so very kind and loving to her! But he was kind and generous to everyone! I am so very sorry for your loss.
