Roy Lee Hodges

of Burlington, AR

November 29, 1927 - July 17, 2021

Roy Lee Hodges, age 93, of Burlington, Arkansas, passed away Saturday, July 17, 2021, at Forsyth Health and Rehab in Forsyth, Missouri. He was born November 29, 1927, in Burlington, Arkansas, to Ralph & Ola (Richesin) Hodges.

Roy was a lifelong member of Burlington Baptist Church. As a young boy, he helped with the construction of the church by carrying fieldstone from the family farm. Roy raised cattle and worked at Pace Industries where he retired with 33 years of service. After retirement, he loved to travel the backroads of Arkansas to visit with family and friends. In his later years, Roy especially enjoyed going to the Harrison Senior Citizens Center and became known for his left-hand pitching of beanbags.

Roy is survived by his daughter, Judy Roberts, of Burlington, Arkansas; his son and daughter-in-law, Steve and Shar Hodges, of Hollister, Missouri; his grandchildren, Tony Roberts of Harrison and McKensie Roellig of Austin, Texas; and his sister, Helen Hanan, of Point Lookout, Missouri.

Roy will be remembered by his family as a loving father, grandfather, and a man of faith who read his Bible every day.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Wilma Hodges; his parents; and his brother, Eugene Hodges.


Funeral Service was Thursday, July 22, 2021, at Burlington Baptist Church.
