Aurelia Lorraine Dickens Harvey, 79, of Greenbrier, AR was called home to glory on December 16, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was born January 28, 1946, to Arles Jackson Dickens and Lucille Hankins Dickens.
Aurelia was raised in Vilonia Arkansas and graduated in 1964. Later, she and her family moved to Greenbrier. She retired from Universal Nolan/Frigidaire then worked at Greenbrier Schools Cafeteria, but her most rewarding job was staying home to care for her parents and grandchildren. Aurelia loved the outdoors, fishing, gardening, and working in her flowerbeds. She loved watching her grandkids play sports, traveling, baking, cooking, sewing, and lovingly hosting family gatherings. Most of all, she cherished being a wife, mom, ''Memaw'' and many other pivotal roles to the people who loved her the most. She was a longtime member of Harlan Park Baptist Church in Conway.
Aurelia was preceded in death by her parents, son-in-law, Peter J. Schrag, and nephew, Jeremiah P. Dickens. She is survived by her loving husband of 35 years, J. Wayne Harvey, children, Timothy Killough of Eureka Springs, AR, daughter, Melissa ''Missy'' Mavity Schrag of Greenbrier, AR, Greg Killough (Stephanie) of Stillwell OK, stepdaughter, Heather Ward (Dan) of Benton, AR, Amber Eastworth (Aaron) of Benton, AR, brother Patrick J. Dickens (Susan) of Greenbrier, eight grandchildren, Kala L. Mailhiot (Sam), Kolby K. Mavity (Samantha), Kyler J. Schrag (Kinzey), Amelia Killough, Austin Ward, Haley Hodges, Colton Eastworth, Megan Roberts, three great-grandchildren, Owen Mavity, Aiden Mailhiot, and Ember Mailhiot, and a host of nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews, and dear cousins and friends.
Visitation will be held at Roller McNutt Funeral Home in Conway Friday, December 19, 2025, at 1pm followed by funeral services at 2pm. Burial will follow at Thorn Cemetery in Greenbrier. Pallbearers will be Kolby Mavity, Kyler Schrag, Sam Mailhiot, Joshua Dickens, Josiah Dickens, and Wayne Evans.

Aunt Aurelia lived next door to me my entire life. I spent much of my childhood running around playing with my cousins while she would be gardening, enjoying some movie or my favorite, cooking. Her cooking and dedication to making the best sweet tea in Arkansas was something that I'll never forget. Though we will miss her, I know she is at peace with her savior and those that have gone on before.
Love you Aunt Aurelia!

Aunt Aurelia was truly one of a kind. She found joy in simple, honest things—working in her garden, tending her plants, burning brush piles, cooking at family get togethers, sports, and cheering on the Razorbacks. As a kid, I spent so much time running errands between her house, my grandparents’ house, and my parents’ house, and those moments shaped some of my favorite memories.
She was that aunt—the cool aunt that everyone has 1 in their family. Sleepovers at her house were the best: popcorn, movies we weren’t allowed to watch at home, and lots of laughter. Watching Razorback games with her will always stay with me.
I’m so thankful for her love, her warmth, and the memories she gave us. She will be deeply missed and always remembered with a smile.
