of Paris, AR

August 8, 1946 - September 28, 2020

Daisy Ludgood, 74, a resident of the Gray Rock community near Paris, passed away Monday, September 28, 2020, in Fort Smith.

She was born August 8, 1946, in Gray Rock to the late Daniel and Rena (Phillips) Bates. She united with the First Church of God at an early age. Daisy was retired from Cargill/Butterball in Ozark.

Daisy was a fun-loving person. She was a graduate of the class of 1964 in Gray Rock at Booker T. Washington High School. She moved to St. Louis, Missouri after graduating where she met her husband, Roy Ludgood. Soon after marriage they moved back to Gray Rock.

Daisy loved to play cards and loved to make people laugh and always joking around. She loved her family and friends.

Daisy had an anointed voice from God but was too shy to use it. We hope she is using it now in that heavenly choir singing for her Lord and Savior.

''A lovely kind woman has left our presence physically; love will keep her eternally alive.''

In addition to her parents Daisy was preceded in death by her husband, Roy W. Ludgood; a daughter, Loletha Lanell (Ludgood) Brown; three sisters, Faye Brown, Dorothy Collins and Margaret Cave; two brothers, Virgil and Leroy Bates and a grandson, JVante Brown.
