Katala Ann Sisco

of Clinton, AR

April 6, 1945 - June 18, 2022

Katala Ann Woods Sisco went to be with the Lord June 18th 2022 at the Circle of Life Earlene Howard Hospice Home in Springdale Arkansas.

Katala was born in Batesville, Arkansas to Rev. Shelby Woodrow Woods and Lora LaFaye Teeter Woods, April 6 1945. Her father was a Methodist minister and served many congregations across Northern Arkansas, which moved the family to many towns. Katala met the love of her life, Robert (Bob) Sisco in 1960 at Marshall, Arkansas and they were married on August 18th, 1967 in Lincoln, Arkansas. They moved to Clinton, Arkansas November 16th of the same year, where they managed the North Arkansas Funeral Home, while raising their two children. Katala was a licensed Funeral Director, where she ran the office and took care of families in their time of need until June 1990.

Katala then went to work at the Clinton United Methodist Church on October 1990, where she worked until her health started to decline in January 2021. She again cared for the people of the church and provided the various ministers over the years with steadfast leadership. People could ask where a certain thing in the church was or how something was done, and they could say go ask Katala and she would either tell them or go show them. Katala served as an officer in the United Methodist Women's group in various roles, including president, secretary and treasurer. She also served as a district officer for the Batesville District (now Northeast District).

Katala is preceded in death by her parents, Rev. Woodrow Woods and Lora Lafaye Teeter Woods and brother-in-law, Joe Cheney.

Katala is survived by her husband of nearly 55 years of marriage, Robert (Bob) Sisco; their son, Steven C Sisco (Sharon) of Fayetteville, Arkansas; their daughter, Elizabeth Cash of Lincoln, Arkansas and five grandchildren, Russell Cash, Maris M. Sisco, Shannon Cash, Mattox C. Sisco and Ashley Newsom. She is also survived by her brother, Don S. Woods of Fayetteville, Arkansas and sister, Sandra Cheney of Conway, Arkansas and brother-in-law, George Sisco (Roslyn) of Valparaiso, Indiana and many nieces and nephews and cousins.

Visitation will be at 1:00pm, Thursday June 23, 2022 before the service of life at 2:00pm, at the Clinton United Methodist Church. Graveside service will be Friday at 10:00am at Friendship Cemetery Springdale, Arkansas.

The family has asked for no flowers, but instead for memorials to be made to the Clinton United Methodist Church, 167 Joe Bowling Road, Clinton Arkansas 72031 or another church of your choice.

Arrangements entrusted to Roller McNutt Funeral Home of Clinton.

Katala and Bob are always in my memories of the Methodist Church since I arrived here in 1972 with my parents. I was in high school and had sang in church choirs for years as an Air Force dependent. Bob and Katala greeted and welcomed me and all my family into the choir and the church from day one. Really good sweet people and dear friends ever since. My love and respect always. God bless Katala and take her into his hands forever. Love you Bob and don't forget to save me a place in the main choir upstairs my friend.

Bob and Family. We share and pray for you in these dark days. We remember you all with affection and especially Katala. Her kindness and helpful demeanor were only surpassed by you bright and loving personality. She was my right arm and I know her presence is missed. We are so sorry could not attend, but Donna has a Dr. appointment we have been waiting for 2 months to fill. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you celebrate her life here and rejoice in her being with the Lord.
