–––––❖––––– HELEN CARMACK REEVES, of North Little Rock, Arkansas, died on July 24, 2018 at the age of

92. Mrs. Reeves died of the complications of aging while under the comforting care of hospice.

She is preceded in death by her husband J.

Ralph Reeves, one sister and five brothers.

Helen attended Mount Saint Mary Academy and worked for Rock Island Railway and a munitions factory in Philadelphia to help in the war effort for several years before settling into the role of wife and mother. Helen’s proudest accomplishment was the rearing of her four daughters: Becky Berry Stanfield (Paul) of Austin, Texas, Karen Hicks, Debbie Butler (Bob) and Lindy Streit (Don) of North Little Rock, Arkansas, all of whom survive her.

Along with an endearing sarcastic manner and a biting wit, Helen imparted her considerable tenacity and toughness to all her daughters, who have all described her as the “toughest woman they had ever known.” All who have had the good fortune to spend any time with any of the “Reeves Girls”, as the daughters were infamously known and lumped together, will recognize that they all possess the toughness and humor of their mother.

She is also survived by seven grandchildren: Chris Berry, Andrew Berry, Brad Hicks, Amy Hicks Finks, Jeremy Bakalekos, Gemma DiTommaso Deloney and Joseph DiTommaso and was blessed to have nine great-grandchildren living throughout the United States in Nashville, Tennessee, North Little Rock, Arkansas, Austin, Texas and Los Angeles, California.

She was a longtime member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 7000 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, North Little Rock, Arkansas and a Mass will be held in her honor there, in the chapel on Friday, July 27 at 11 a.m. There will be a private family gathering after the service.

The family would like to express their profound thanks for the compassionate and gentle care provided by Kindred Hospice and Lakewood Nursing and Rehabilitation.

Anyone wishing to honor memories of Helen may do so by donations to Kindred Hospice and/or by pouring out one for Helen as they drink their next Busch Light, Helen’s refreshment of choice. Online obituary and guestbook found at www.SmithFamilyCares.com.

Carter and Sallie Richardson Carter. He spent his early years in the Cypert community near Marvell and graduated from high school in White Hall. He served four years in the U.S. Navy as an Aviation Structural Mechanic, then earned his bachelor’s degree at Arkansas State Teachers College, where he met Verna Jean Davis. They married in 1956, graduated from college, and reported for their first teaching jobs in Marion. During summers, they attended classes at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville where Herbert earned a master’s degree in school administration.

For five years, Herbert taught industrial arts and history and drove a daily school bus route until 1961 when he was called into service as high school principal then immediately cast into the role of Superintendent of Schools upon the death of his predecessor. He served in that capacity for 29 years against the backdrop of the Civil Rights era, the Vietnam War, and the advent of global electronic communication. Throughout those years, he found joy and satisfaction in the successes of students, teachers, administrative staff and their families. He also expressed gratitude for the wisdom and dedication of school board members and community leaders. He believed that the prosperity of Marion and Crittenden County was truly a team effort.

Herbert served Marion Baptist Church (now Marion First) tirelessly in a variety of roles including Sunday school teacher, deacon, a voice in the choir, and member or chair of various committees. All his favorite leisure activities involved family, whether at the lake, in his shop or at a project site. He was a member of Marion Rotary Club until his retirement. He and Verna Jean enjoyed travel and were members of the Razorback Unit of the Wally Byam Caravan Club for 22 years.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Verna Jean Davis Carter of the home; daughter, Cathy Carter Gottsponer (and husband Louis) of Madison, Ind.; daughter, Cheryl Carter Ward (and husband Philip) of Fayetteville; five grandchildren: Levi and Josie Gottsponer, and Sophia, Zane and Isaac Ward; and 14 nieces and nephews that he adored.
