Thelma Lucille Doty
April 14, 1925 - November 28, 2009

Mrs. Thelma Lucille Doty was called home by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Saturday, the 28th day of November, 2009, at the age of 84 years 7 months and 14 days. Mrs. Doty was pronounced dead at the NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital in Jonesboro after having a heart attack at her home in Trumann. Mrs. Doty lived in pain for many years refusing to give up. When her loving husband John of 62 years passed away in November, 2007, she lived on with a broken heart, not wanting to leave her children and grandchildren alone. Her children adored their Mother and they take comfort in knowing she is now with the Lord and has been reunited with her loving husband and son Larry who was killed in a tragic accident in 1973. Mrs. Doty was loved by all who knew her, especially her family. Thelma leaves behind many friends and loved ones, but they take comfort in knowing they will one day be reunited. Thelma
