of Little Rock, AR

December 9, 1946 - July 21, 2025

Margaret Ann Ward (formerly Adams, née Smith), 78, of Little Rock, Arkansas passed peacefully into the arms of her Savior on July 21, 2025 surrounded by her loving family.

Margaret lived a life defined by grace, faith and quiet strength. Born on December 9, 1946 to Frank and Gladys Smith (Bruington) in Cherryvale, Kansas, she grew up with a heart for service and a love for people that would shape every chapter of her life. A proud graduate of Independence schools, she later attended Pittsburgh College before beginning a 31-year career with Southwestern Bell (AT&T), where she formed lifelong friendships and served with loyalty and pride.

She was the Life Member Representative for AT&T Telephone Pioneers and a longtime volunteer with both Pioneers and Care Caps. Retirement only deepened her devotion to helping others.

Margaret's faith was her foundation. As a faithful member of Life Line Baptist Church, she served in multiple capacities, with compassion, humility and a ready smile. She was the friend everyone hoped to have and the rock her family could always count on.

Margaret was preceded in death by her parents, several siblings, her beloved husband, Robert and one daughter, Elizabeth Adams. She is survived by her daughters, Amy Brewer (Michael) of Hot Springs Village and Heather Lowrey (Shawn) of Hot Springs; her treasured grandchildren, Kelsey Wright, Madison Justice (Nathan), Mason Schoonover, Karlee Marrall, Chandler Marrall, Chase Lowrey, Sawyer Lowrey; one beloved great-granddaughter, Winnie Justice and a large circle of extended family and dear friends who will miss her deeply.

She was a devoted wife, mother, nana and ''bonus'' nana to many; never missing a birthday, a game, or a chance to show up with love. She had a gift for making people feel seen and special. Her joy was infectious, her generosity unmatched and her legacy is one of unwavering love and kindness.

A celebration of life service will be held Thursday, July 24th at Life Line Baptist Church in Little Rock. Visitation will begin at 10:00am. A celebration of her life will begin at 11:00am with Bro. Jeff Dial officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to "The CALL" of Garland County or to Life Line Baptist Church's Youth Program, continuing Margaret's lifelong commitment to faith, family and the next generation.
