Letha was a neighbor across the street for almost 45 years. You could not want a more compassionate, encouraging, or caring friend than Letha. She came over if you had a need and would help anyway she could. She loved her family, church, and those who were fortunate to know her were blessed. We enjoyed sharing about Jesus and our love of God’s word. I consider it an honor to have been her friend.
I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Letha. She was alway so kind to me and so helpful. Such a smart lady and a fabulous nurse. What a great loss. Prayers for you all ðŸ™ðŸ¼â¤ï¸ðŸ™ðŸ¼
So sorry for your loss prayers for all family and friends
Letha was such a sweet sweet soul. She gave me my first job as a nurse at St. Bernards. She always set a great example as caring nurse and Christian woman. She will surely be missed. So glad I was able to know her. Prayers for the family.
Letha was a great person I met her 35 years ago when I worked on 2 main and GI lab was around the corner where she worked. Then went to work with the surgeons always positive and a great sense of humor. She will be well missed
I had the pleasure of being one of those “young†nurses that Letha mentored back in 1993. She always took time out to teach and help the new nurses. Later on i has the pleasure of being one of Letha’s coworkers. I believe that the nursing community of NE Arkansas is one of the best around and Letha had a direct hand in this!!
On a personal note Letha would make me pickles every summer when I worked with her and I couldn’t wait to get that jar of pickles. This summer I grew my own veggies and reached out to Letha for that pickle recipe and she quickly sent it. I made my own batch this year and loved them. They will always be Letha’s pickles when I make them! You will be missed!!!
MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO LETHAS ENITIRE FAMILY AND ALTHO SHE IS NO LONGER WITH US WE WILL CHERISH THE MEMORIES WE ALL WERE BLESSED TO HAVE WITH HER, I FIRST MET LETHA IN 1985 WEHN I STARTED WORKING AT ST BERNARDS SHE WAS ALWAYS THE SWEETEST KINDEST SOUL AND VERY COMPASSIONATE ABOUT HER WORK BUT MOST OF ALL HER FAMILY TO WHOM SHE LOVED DEARLY, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND BRING YOU COMFORT AS ONLY HE CAN.

Letha was a cherished friend, co-worker, and neighbor for 47 years. She was a wonderful support person for me. She loved her family and her Lord. She will truly be missed.
Worked with Letha for many years! She loved her family dearly! She was so proud to be able to take them all to Disney one year! She also loved her church family so much, as well as her many friends! She was a very giving lady! She will be so missed! But I know Jesus has His arms wrapped around her and she is whole and joyful! Fly high, my friend!! 😘â¤ï¸
We are very saddened at the loss of Letha. She meant a lot to our family, and we have many sweet and special memories of her from our years at the FWB church in Jonesboro. We have been to her house many time for her wonderful Cashew Chicken. She will leave a void on earth, because she was such a kind and encouraging person to all. We pray for comfort and peace to her family and friends, that only God can provide. With love, Anita and Ken Haney and Family
I am sorry about Letha's passing. I enjoyed the EHC bus trips we took. She was a lovely person and she will be missed.
Letha was such a good person and a joy to work with at the Southwest food pantry. She and I also took several trips to Branson with the SW Classic Seniors. She often talked about her nieces and nephews and how much she loved each of them. I feel blessed to have known her.
I'll miss Letha so much! She was a close friend & a wonderful person. My heart goes out to her family for their loss. My prayers are with them.
