July 31, 1926 - January 11, 2016
Phyllis Jean Carlisle, age 89, of Benton, passed away Monday, January 11, 2016. She was born in Tull, Arkansas on July 31, 1926 to Alma and Robert Crowson, where she lived until 2014.

Jean, Roberta Davis, Sadie Ashcraft, Gwen Burrow, and Murlene Tull organized a gospel quartet, the Tull Tones, and entertained with gusto for many years. She was a homemaker, deeply loving her family, her church, and her community. Jean had so many fond memories of her life with Ed as they raised their family and watched it grow, her life with her sisters and brother, and all the blessings this life had given her. She was the consummate wife, sister, and mother.
Jean was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of thirty-nine years, Clarence Edward Carlisle, her great-grandchildren, Finlay Angus and Isla Ann MacLeod, and her sisters, Roberta Davis and Dolphine Keenum.
She is survived by her sons, Bruce Edward (Kathy) Carlisle, Robert Randall (Laura) Carlisle all of Benton; her grandchildren, Julia Ann (Adam) Crow of Little Rock, David Edward (Jeane) Carlisle of Benton, Rachel Carlisle (Rob) MacLeod of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and Rebecca Carlisle (Reid) Beauchamp of Fayetteville; great-grandchildren, Davis Hale Crow, Anna Katherine Crow, and Cooper Edward Carlisle; sisters, Joan Burton and Carolyn Whitener of Benton, and one brother, Paul Crowson of Glenwood.
