DeLinda Watkins

of Harrison, AR

December 30, 1946 - November 26, 2022

Jesus, Family, and Adventure were her three loves.

During her 75 years of life, Delinda J. (Williams) Watkins held some of the most prestigious titles possible Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, Aunt, and Friend.

She lived life with passion and devotion that led to a 60-year marriage; three children; six grandchildren; and two great-grandsons. Her impact on those relationships created lifetime memories of her always being present at school activities, holding her children accountable, and those times when schools and teachers needed accountability.

A drive down a curvy two-lane road in Arkansas with her forever boyfriend, Ronny, was always good for her soul. RVing, crocheting, researching genealogy, and the opportunity to love on her grandbabies, were just a few of her favorite things.

She wasn't afraid of hard work or fighting for her family She enjoyed music, especially Elvis and Hank Williams, and was an active member of Elmwood Baptist Church.

Delinda J. Williams was born on December 30, 1946, in Ogden, Utah, and on November 26, 2022, she heard, "Well Done, my good and faithful servant."

She was preceded in death by her parents, Mae and Walter Williams; her brother, Larry; her sisters, LaRae and Sharon and her nephews, Wade and Danny Williams.

Of the many lives she touched, those who will miss her the most include her husband and best friend, Ronny Watkins; her daughter, Derinda (Watkins) Willoughby and husband, Steve; her sons, Ronald Watkins and wife, Shala and Russell Watkins and wife, Raelyn; six grandchildren and two great-grandsons.


Services were Wednesday, 11/30/2022, at Roller Christeson Funeral Home in Harrison, with Pastor Ron Malone officiating.

The interment was in Maple Leaf Cemetery.
