May 4, 1944 - August 2, 2025
Rieta Jeanette Murchison, 81, of Sherwood passed away on August 2, 2025 and is now in the hands of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was born on May 4, 1944 in Hot Springs, Arkansas to Stanley Aubrey Lynus Dacus and Jennie Helen Dacus.
Rieta worked in real estate for 33 years and was a long-time member of Baring Cross Baptist Church. She found great joy in ballroom dancing and never missed an episode of "Dancing with the Stars".
Affectionately known as ''GiGi'' by her grandchildren, Rieta was devoted to her family and was always ready to lend a helping hand to others. Her gift for hospitality touched many lives.
She is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Kenneth Murchison; two sons, Clint Murchison of North Little Rock and Cliff (Becca) Murchison of Sherwood; stepson, Stephen Blake (Tia) Murchison of Little Rock; brother, James Charles Dacus of Benton; four grandchildren, Blake (Madison) Murchison II, Alex Murchison, Abby (Bethany) Linn Bradshaw and Micah J. (Emma) Linn and by three great-grandchildren.
Rieta's legacy of love, kindness and generosity will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
A celebration of life for Rieta will be held on Monday, August 11th at 4:30 p.m. at Baring Cross Baptist Church in Sherwood, Arkansas.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Baring Cross Baptist Church in her memory.

Aunt Rieta. You were so special to me and words cannot express my gratitude for everything you did for me. I feel very blessed to have been able to visit with you and Uncle Ken not that long ago and was able to tell you how much I appreciated everything that you both did for me when I needed a home and helping me get through school. You will be missed and happy that you're home. Love, Rhonda.
