Betty "Peanut" Elaine Grimes

of Clinton, AR

December 5, 1956 - January 20, 2023

Betty Elaine "Peanut" Grimes, 66, of Clinton, Arkansas passed away on January 20, 2023 with her family by her side. She was born December 5, 1956 to the late Doyle Kirkendoll and Betty Bramlett in Clinton, Arkansas.

She is preceded in death by her parents; siblings, Wayne Kirkendoll, Dennis Dale Kirkendoll and Janie Maze.

Peanut married her soul mate, Joe Dan Grimes, 50 years ago at the Plant Church on December 9, 1972. He said she was beautiful and full of life when they married and that never changed. Together they raised four children and many bonus children. Peanut had an open door when it came to people in need. She was loving, sassy and a little loud, but her family was her pride and joy. No matter what they went through at times, she may have shown some tough love, but love them she did with all her heart. Some say she was quite a storyteller. She was loved by many and will be missed by her family and friends. Rest in love Betty Elaine "Peanut" Grimes, we love you.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Joe Dan Grimes; mother-in-law, Geneva Grimes; two sons; Carroll Joe (Stephanie) Grimes, Adam (Amanda) Grimes; two daughters; Jessie (Steve) Harper, Mellissa (Andrew) Eoff; grandchildren, Colton Grimes, Leah Grimes, Kayla (Jarrett) Linville, Trent (Kelsey) Grimes, Kaytlyn (Tommy) Miner, Kamryn McGoven, Aaron (Kelsie) Bigelow, Blake Bigelow, Daniel (Haley) Eoff, Alex (Eva) Eoff; 15 great-grandchildren; siblings, Jo (Dwane) Lockard, Jerry Steve (Teresa) Kirkendoll, Mitchell Kirkendoll, Ambie Brewer and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Visitation will be held on Friday, January 27, 2023 from 5:00PM-7:00PM at the Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Clinton, Arkansas. Funeral services will be 2:00PM Saturday, January 28, 2023 at the funeral home with interment following at Half Moon Cemetery.

I will miss you my friend. All the stories of your sisters and momma, and of course Mitchell. My ribs hurt everytime I visited from laughing so much.
You were always willing to listen when I needed to get something off my chest & never held back when telling me what you thought .
I can truly say that you made my life better with you in it. It won't be the same without you.
See you on the other side, rest in love my friend.

Every year I always looked forward to the Grimes family reunion and one of those reasons was Peanut. She was a kindred spirit. She always made ne laugh and feel good about being a member of the family.
Gail and I will miss her contagious laughter, her quick wit, her funny stories, her humorous jokes and her sweet and loving nature. She will be missed by a multitude of family and friends.
Rest in love and peace dear cousin. Till we meet again on the other side.

We played together as children and we grew up together like sisters but I was Peanut’s aunt. What amazing life you can have when your from a big family.Peanut and I when on several adventures together. Including trail rides, floating the river, camping, 4 wheeler rides. We even went to my dad’s her grandpa home town in Georgia and visited family together. We could talk on the phone for hours. She would tell me how much she loved her family. Peanut, you will forever and always be remembered by me and you will always have a special place in my heart. I love you, Sallie

I remember all you kids calling your momma Peanut from time to time. I know there aren’t enough words to say about all the adventures you had together. I was at your house once and visited with her about all you kids. She was so full of love for you, sometimes tough but mostly laughter and dreams of how you would all turn out fine. She was full of courage and hard work. You have made her proud. I love each of you and will be praying for your peace. Mrs S
