of Lamar, AR
April 10, 1955 - January 15, 2020
Jacqueline ''Jackie'' Ann Coulter age 64 of Lamar passed away Wednesday, January 15, 2020 at Johnson Regional Medical Center. She was born April 10, 1955 at Odessa, Texas to the late Bobby Lee Melton and Nancy Loraine Robinson Melton. She was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, Terry Shaffer; her second husband, H.L. Duff Jr.; her third husband, Lawrence Coulter and her siblings, Bobby Neal Melton, Debbie Shay, and Pam Blasczyk.
Mom had to have her essentials, Coca Cola, Reeses and cigarettes. She was an avid reader, gave advice to all within ear shot, and loved her family so much. Despite her many physical disabilities the last few years, if you'd ''give her a minute'', she continued to be independent and as strong willed as ever right until the end. Mom had different phases in life, she was an 80's lady, a young teen newlywed mother, newly widowed new mother, then Granny Jackie helping raise her baby boy Tristan and the girls. Each phase done absolutely differently, but all with her own stubborn Melton style, without much complaint... As long as she had the last word.
Survivors include her children, Lori Watson (Todd) of Hagarville, Arkansas, Terry Shaffer (Beth) of Fredericksburg, Virgina, Amberly Duff, Heather Collier all of Lamar, Arkansas; her stepchildren, Ronald Coulter of Illinois, Ryan Coulter (Mandy), Renee Coulter all of Oklahoma, Rhonda Hernandez of Clarksville, Arkansas, Ray Coulter (Amanda) of Russellville, Arkansas, Earnest Duff, Daniel Duff (Melody) all of Clarksville, Arkansas, Bonita Long (Mark), Gary Duff (Michelle), Laquita Duff, Brady Duff (Lesa) all of Lamar, Arkansas; thirty eight grandchildren; fifty great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren.

So sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Jackie was a sweet woman. We sure had some fun times working together. I will never forget her birthday party at Crosswoods! Rest in peace my friend.
Dearest Amberly and family,

Ronda and David Graves
I’m so sorry for your loss. Jackie was a great lady with a big laugh. She and I had a lot of fun on the night shift and I could always count on her to have my back.
We will miss having you around. We spent a good amount of time together while her husband larry (my papa) was recovering from health complications, there were many instances she shared with us and reminisced about the past. Good times, bad times, anything that brought joy. I am thankful we shared so many memories and there wasnt a day that went by that she didnt atleast bring his memory up during that time. We all have things we wish we would have cherished more, I enjoyed stopping by to bring her a coke and getting to chat of which sometimes it would last much longer than anticipated, but regret is so powerful and urges me to wish of having her tell me another story about my granpa just so I could display a genuine smile. I will miss being able to surprise her with a visit, but I truly hope she is in the presence of her loved ones. Passing on is never easy for those around you, but now the pain and agony has been replaced by true freedom, we can remember all the good times and great stories she shared. This isnt goodbye forever, we love you and will miss you. I hope for strength and comfort during this difficult time for us all. I love you and I hope your reunited with those you miss. -Your Grandson Nick
