of Poplar Grove, AR
January 12, 1934 - November 6, 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a cherished individual, Dorotha Jewel Davis DeJarnatte, on November 6, 2025 at the age of 91 at her home in Poplar Grove, AR after a long and fulfilling life surrounded by her loved ones. Dorotha was born January 12, 1934 in Webber Falls, OK to Ather and Emma Rowland. Dorotha's work here was complete and she was called home, her departure leaves an unfillable void, yet we find comfort in the memories and everlasting love she shared.
Dorotha met her beloved husband, Floyd Bradley DeJarnatte of 38 years. Dorotha was known for her strong will, unwavering determination and devotion and love and support for her family and community. Along with her husband, she was a devout member of Elizabeth Primitive Baptist Church in Barton, AR.
As a young adult Dorotha worked as a seamstress at Helena Sportswear, the Bobby Brooks factory in West Helena, AR and in later years as a substitute teacher at Marvell Public Schools. She also worked daily to help keep the family farm running smoothly. She enjoyed volunteering hundreds of hours as a Board Member of the Tri-County Fair in Marvell, AR. She was an avid gardener and enjoyed preserving the fruits, vegetables and berries she grew and gathered. She was a master seamstress and loved making quits, wall hangings and dresses for a select few admirers. She enjoyed spending most of her time outside with her plants, sewing, quilting and passing her knowledge on to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Dorotha is preceded in death by her parents; beloved husband, Floyd; four brothers; two sisters and daughter, Delores Davis Gamble Jackson.
She is survived by her daughter, Patricia (Trish) Davis Wewe Monroe of Poplar Grove, AR; son, Robert ''Robbie'' Lee Davis Jr. of Hazen, AR; sisters, Irma Townsend of Sikeston, MO; Mary Sedivy of Waxahachie, TX; Bertha Petterson of Fresno, CA; grandchildren, Brian Kiel Bartlett(Lisa) of Greers Ferry, AR; Wendi Speer(Britton) of Jonesboro, AR; Miranda ''Mandy'' Wewe Lovell (David Jr.) of Royal, AR; Shauna Wewe Griffin (Michael) of Lexa, AR; Robert ''Trey'' Lee Davis III (Candace Marcum) of Hazen; 9 great grandchildren, Angela, Brandi, Makayla, Haylie, Harmonee, Tanner, Brennan, Brodi and Braden; 5 great-great grandchildren, Aiden, Deklan, Raiden, River and Molly Jane and a host of other family and friends.

Tricia, I'm sorry for your loss. She was an amazing person. I still have memories of her coming over with the berries she knew I loved. She was an outgoing and funny person. I will miss her so much. She was one of a kind. I'm sorry I can't make it, but medically not able.
