of Yellville, AR
August 28, 1962 - January 15, 2026
Patty V. Ware, age 63, of Yellville, Arkansas, passed away January 15, 2026. She was born on August 28, 1962 in Rosedale, MS, to her parents Elizabeth Lancaster and Robert Monroe Vanderford.
Patty enjoyed hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. She spent lots of time outside with her flowers and gardening. On hot summer days, she could often be found in her ''kiddie'' pool or down by the creek catching some rays. As the baby of the family, she was referred to as ''the pampered one''. She loved dressing fancy and doing her nails.
Patty had a close church family and many friends. She was the kind of person who just wanted to see you smile and always made sure the kids got lots of candy and treats. Her love for her beloved Basset hounds and Beagles was a great part of her life. They were her babies. And, her love for her ''Redneck'', (Tommy Ware), was even greater, from childhood sweetheart to husband and best friend.
Patty is survived by her husband, Tommy Ware, sister, Trudy V. Brister (Gene), brother, Perry Vanderford, nephews, Robert Brister, James Casey, and John Casey, a hole host of other nieces and nephews, her ''adopted kid'', Angela Halliday (Allan), and many other special friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, sister, Kathy V. Wernimont, and a brother, Lanny M. Vanderford.
Celebration of life ceremonies will be private.
