of Fairfield Bay, AR
July 9, 1933 - December 10, 2025
Wilma Lou Heavner, 92, of Fairfield Bay, AR, passed away peacefully on December 10, 2025. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack Douglas Heavner. She is survived by her sons, John and Andy Heavner, and Elizabeth Glatz, daughter.
Wilma was born in Oxley, AR on July 9, 1933, to Claude and Carrie Morrison. Living in the Ozarks during the Depression was a hardscrabble existence, and in the late 1930s the family relocated to Bay in northeast Arkansas to farm cotton. Wilma completed beauty college in 1953 and moved to Hughes, AR to work. It was there she met and married her husband, Jack. Upon his retirement in 1980, the couple moved to Mitchell, AR, where Wilma supported her husband throughout a 25-year pastoral ministry. Following his death in 2005, she relocated to Timbo, AR, to be near her siblings. She spent the last five years of life in Fairfield Bay, AR.
Wilma's outstanding qualities were her abundant generosity of spirit and lovingkindness toward others. Despite a life of emotional and financial hardship, her fierce determination was an inspiration to all that knew her, coupled with a deep, abiding faith in God. Wilma embodied Christ's message of warmth and acceptance of others and was well known as a gentle-hearted soul with a ready smile.
