April 12, 1989 - December 23, 2025
Mattie Elizabeth Setzler, beloved daughter of L.B. and Debbie Setzler, born April 12, 1989, passed on to be with the Lord on December 23, 2025.
Mattie is survived by her parents L.B. and Debbie, brother Chris ''Bubba'' (Nikki) and sisters Morgan (Isaac) and Lauren (Andrew). Cherished aunt to Bailey, Annette, Charlie, Set, Jane Lauren, Cole, Turner, Addie Kay and adored by a large family of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Mattie loved fishing, hunting and sports, especially the Razorbacks. She attended the University of Arkansas and graduated from UCA with a degree in journalism and marketing. Following college, she especially loved her time working at KTHV. Mattie had a soft heart for others and cared deeply for those less fortunate.
A family graveside service will be held to honor Mattie's life.

This news has been a shock to hear. So very sorry your sorrow. We love your family very much. Mattie was truly a special gift and light to others. I will always remember her. I still can see my Kaylyn and Mattie playing in Kindergarten. Blessed to have been her Kindergarten teacher.

We shared so many laughs and fond memories during our time working together at THV! I loved sitting next to you in the newsroom, and learning from one another. May your soul find peace & rest. Sending your family all the love.

L.B.
It is difficult to express the level of sorrow I feel for your loss. You and your family have been and will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Mattie was one of my prized yearbook editors at CAC. I loved her so much. My heart is aching but I am comforted to know that she is in the presence of our savior. My sincere condolences to all who knew and loved her.❤️

LB, I am so sorry for your family’s loss. I continue to pray for strength and peace for all of you during these difficult days.

I’m heartbroken for you. Mattie’s passing confounds me. Yet as wife to a man who lost his only sibling when they were both so young, I know well the mixed, the complicated thoughts and feelings that are held when a beloved leaves the trials and pain of this earth and resides with Jesus and -rips apart hearts and lives when they do. Randy recently shared with a sweet family member a verse from Scriptures that he and his parents leaned on when they lost his sister Janie who died at the age of 19. It’s Isaiah 57:1–2. Just part of this deeply challenging while also comforting wisdom is “the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared of evil. Those who walk up rightly enter into peace…”
I pray you find a small measure of peace in the days ahead. That peace —that we cannot truly comprehend as possible. May God walk you through the shadow of death and bring you to His quiet, still waters of His love. I’m so so sorry. I will pray and I will grieve with you.
Love, Joneal

Debbie, L.B., Morgan and Lauren,
This breaks my heart to hear of this news about sweet Mattie. I can still see her little face in my classroom at CAC. You all will be in my prayers.

To the Setzler family, Mr. LB & Mr. Hugh, you are in my prayers, Praying that GOD will give you the strength to endure.

When I think of Mattie, I will always remember sledding down "the big hill" together on Silverwood Trail. The Lorges are thinking of y'all and sending prayers and comfort.

Debbie and LB,, we love you and cannot imagine your pain and loss of dear Mattie-/ glad you know Jesus who is the best source of comfort at this time

Mattie was bold & loved big.
She loved everyone she knew in a big way & loved them well. She stood up for others and was not afraid of what others thought. She was not ashamed or afraid to talk about her faith but never claimed to be perfect. I’ll never forget the ski trips, a cruise, sleep overs, basketball, softball, yearbook staff, etc. we shared together. We were all so blessed to have known and had her in our lives over the years.

LB, Debbie, Morgan and Lauren:
This crushed me, so I know it is beyond difficult for all of you. I am so sorry, words cannot even express.

Lb so sorry for your loss. You and your family our in our prayers. We love you buddy. Mike and stacy

Debbie and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of Mattie's passing. You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers and I pray for God's touch upon you all.
