–––––❖––––– WILLIAM HARREL HERRING, 82, of Maumelle, Ark., went to be with his Lord on

April 16, 2018, surrounded by his family, after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s.

Harrel was born

October 8, 1935 in Quitman, to the late Ernest

Thurlow Herring and Mary Cordelia (Langston) Herring.

Harrel devoted his life to sharing the Gospel message with everyone he could. He truly cared for people, and wanted to make sure they had the opportunit­y to know Jesus as their Savior personally. This legacy of faithful service is carried on by his loving wife of 46 years, Kathy (Stacy) Herring of Maumelle; twin sons, Jeff (Kristin) Herring of Maumelle and John (Alisha) Herring of Nixa, Mo.; five grandchild­ren, Abigail, Autumn and Austin Herring of Maumelle, and Dalton and Macey Herring of Nixa, Mo. He is also survived by three sisters, Mary Lois Clark of Conway, Willie Mae Karber of North Little Rock, Ernestine Mauldin of Quitman; and two brothers, Carrol (Joan) Herring of Quitman, and Burton (Judy) Herring of Shorter, Ala.; as well as a host of cousins, nieces and nephews, and friends.

Harrel was preceded in death by a grandchild, and four sisters, Lola Elizabeth Kennedy, Helen Clestine Goodwin, Nina Bess Hoggard, and Menta Fay Skinner.

In 1953, Harrel began college as a part of the second class at Central Baptist College, and then moved onto Arkansas State Teacher’s College, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in education and a Master’s in counseling. He also earned a Master’s in administra­tion from the University of Arkansas.

His career was multi-faceted. He served as a teacher in Illinois for two years, before accepting a position with the Pulaski County Special School District, where he served for over 25 years as principal, teacher and counselor. After retiring from PCSSD, he drove a bus for special needs students whom he loved, and they loved him. He also served as a Captain in the Army National Guard, piloting helicopter­s and airplanes, where he retired after 20 years of service.

On September 3, 1968, Harrel was licensed to the gospel ministry by Park View Baptist Church in North Little Rock. He was ordained to the ministry on November 21, 1970. He became a bi-vocational pastor in the central Arkansas area, including: Beacon Baptist, Little Rock (1970-1972); Sand Springs Baptist, Quitman (1972-1974); New Bethany Baptist, Quitman (1974-1975); Old Euseba Baptist, Quitman (1975-1979); Highway Baptist, Judsonia (19821987); and New Hope Baptist, Beebe (1987-1992). He also served as Outreach Minister at Park View Baptist, North Little Rock, beginning in 1995.

Throughout his life, Harrel was passionate about reaching people for Christ. Whether it was fellow guardsmen, students and colleagues at school, or a young child at church camp, he loved to share the good news of Jesus to those that needed to hear it. This passion led him and a few other pastors to begin the Baptist Missionary Associatio­n (BMA) Youth Camp in 1976, in order to provide a place to minister to students where they could hear the Gospel clearly. He served faithfully for over 35 years in various positions, including as camp director for many of those years. This camp ministry continues today, and children are still hearing the Gospel because of the faithfulne­ss of men like him.

As a direct result of his involvemen­t with camp ministries, Harrel wrote the book, Starting My Life with Christ. His desire was that this small book would bring honor and glory to God and help new believers develop a firm foundation for their Christian life. It has been used in camp ministries since its first printing in 1982, and has been translated into three languages, used in Ukraine, Africa, the Philippine­s, and Spanish-speaking countries, as well as prison ministries, the radio ministry of Lifeword, and the BMA of Arkansas missions.

A celebratio­n of life will be held at Park View Baptist Church on Friday, April 20, at 10 a.m. Visitation will be at Roller-McNutt Funeral home in Conway, from 6-8 p.m. on April 19. Interment will be at Old Texas Cemetery in Quitman. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made to Park View Baptist Church, 900 Donovan Briley Blvd, North Little Rock, Ark. 72118.

–––––❖––––– RONALD A. MAY, 89, died of complicati­ons from cancer April 16, 2018, at West Markham Sub

Acute and Rehabilita­tion Center in Little Rock.

Ronald

(known to his friends as Ron or Ronny) was born September

8, 1928, in Waterloo, Iowa, to John and Elsie (Finlayson) May. After graduating from West High School in 1946, Ron enlisted in the Army and was assigned to the 7th Division, Army of Occupation, Korea. After being discharged as a Corporal, he attended the University of Iowa, graduating in 1950 with a BA Magna Cum Laude in American studies. He then attended Vanderbilt University Law School, where he graduated in 1953.

Ronald was admitted to the Arkansas Bar in 1953, and practiced law in the state for over 50 years. He settled in Little Rock in 1958, when he joined the law firm of Wright, Lindsey, & Jennings. He formally left the law firm in September of 2013. He was for so many years reluctant to leave his law practice because, as he said, he had always enjoyed the company of lawyers. He was active in both the Arkansas Bar Associatio­n and the American Bar Associatio­n. For many years he chaired the American Bar’s various committees on technology and computing, and was a pioneer in the use of computers in the practice of law in Arkansas.

Ron was deeply committed to serving his community. He served on dozens of community and government boards and committees. He was particular­ly dedicated to UAMS, serving on the Human Subjects Advisory Committee and Institutio­nal Review Board for more than 15 years. In addition, he served the Arkansas Cancer Research Center (Founding Board of Directors 1984-1990, Chairman 1990-91); the Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute Board of Directors (1970-1980; Chairman 1978-80); Planned Parenthood of Greater Arkansas Board of Directors; the Little Rock Museum of Science and Natural History Board of Trustees (Chairman 1973); the Friends of the Library (President 1975); the Arkansas Associatio­n for Mental Health (President 1968-70); and the Board of Directors of the UALR Friends of the Arts among many other civic organizati­ons which he served and supported.

He also served a number of state and other government entities: the Arkansas State Capitol Grounds Commission; the Arkansas State Hospital Board; the Arkansas Board of Architects; the profession­al advisory board for the University of Arkansas’ School of Architectu­re; the profession­al advisory board for the Donaghey Project for Urban Studies and Design; and the Arkansas Ethics Commission. He was also an Arkansas Bar Examiner.

Ron was actively committed to many causes and community concerns, but he was most proud of his public support for Little Rock School integratio­n, and later his legal work to uphold voting rights during Winthrop Rockefelle­r’s 1966 election for governor.

Ron loved travel and gourmet cooking, and above all else he was a consummate reader. He was constantly reading and re-reading American and British fiction, philosophy, history, and popular science.

He was man of reason, honesty and integrity, who valued these qualities in others. Loved by those he leaves behind, Ron will be remembered by many people for many things. To his children, he will always be remembered as a father who was generous with love and support, and who instilled in them the values of honesty and education.

Ronald is survived by his wife of 44 years, Susan (East) May; four children: Sarah Leflar (Robert) of Fayettevil­le, Jonathan May (Jane) of Boyce, La., Andy May (Missy Morris) of Los Angeles, and Rachel May (Doug Dusini) of Tampa; three stepchildr­en: Jim Gray (Henry Louie) of Washington, D.C., Suzy Gray of San Antonio, and Frances Fayard (Calvin) of New Orleans; nine grandchild­ren: David Slade (Kelly) of Little Rock, Hannah May (Erin English) of Los Angeles, Hank May of Los Angeles, Jean Louise May of Boyce, La., Nicolás Lizarazo of Las Vegas, Caroline May of Boston, Sarah Helen Leflar, of Portland, Ore., Gwen Lizarazo of Tampa, and Carter Fayard of New Orleans; and two great-grandchild­ren, Jack and Jane Slade of Little Rock.

A funeral will be held at Christ Episcopal Church in Little Rock at 11 a.m., Thursday, April 26. There will be a reception following the service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that he be memorializ­ed with a charitable contributi­on to

Planned Parenthood of Arkansas, or the Winthrop P. Rockefelle­r Cancer Institute at UAMS. Arrangemen­ts are entrusted to Ruebel Funeral Home. www.ruebelfune­ralhome.com.
