Dear Judy, Glennis and Families,
I’m so sorry to learn of Fonda’s passing. I have many fond memories of you all growing up in Osceola and when the Shoemakes came from Conway I was so excited to spend time with Nikki. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers during the days ahead. I look forward to that meeting in the air when we will no longer be apart.
With Love and Sympathy,
Cindy & Family
Thank Mrs. Shoemaker for all you gave to us. Rest In Peace

Sweet Fonda was such a blessing in my life. She was a Bible Study Fellowship leader, serving with me and many others for years. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word. She truly was a Godly lady with much class. May God comfort your entire family with His peace. She will be missed.
My love sent to Fonda's family. I so enjoyed being around Fonda and have sweet memories of what a wonderful,caring lady she was.
Fonda was a wonderful, loving, Christian friend. She is greatly missed. In heaven she will still be saying, “God is good.â€
I've known Fonda for over 40 years. We worked together at First National Bank in Conway a long time ago, and then we reconnected through BSF and a group of girlfriends who are all widows. She was such a joy to be around. Loved the Lord and her family to the utmost. I know she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Fonda was a sweet and lovely OHS classmate. She will be missed by many. May she rest in well deserved peace.
