C.E. “MIKE” FROST of North Little Rock, Arkansas, passed away on November 8, 2018, at his home. He went to join his beautiful bride, Eileen, who passed away 2 years ago, just 21 days short of their 65th wedding anniversary.

He is survived by: his daughter, Terri Pesnell (Larkus); daughter, Mary Sweade (Greg); son, Edward Frost (Angela); daughter, Nancy Frost (Clayton Johnson); son, John “Jack” Frost (Candy); and sisters-in-law, Bernadette Schick and Betty Diggins. He is also survived by 11 grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his wife, Eileen, and older sister, Delores O’Neil, of Chicago.

Mike was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Paul and Alice Frost. He graduated from Leo High School and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Commerce from De Paul University in 1953. He worked his way through college playing saxophone in a local band. Mike met Eileen while singing in a young adult choir at church, and he proposed to her on Christmas Eve with a ring he purchased after selling his saxophone. Their five children were born in the Chicago area from 1952 to 1959. Eileen and Mike moved their family to North Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1967, and after a couple of multi-year excursions to Oklahoma, remained Arkansans for the rest of their lives.

Mike was a hard-working man, who loved his wife and children, and provided for all their needs. Through most of his life, he was a leader in the financial industry, serving as a senior executive in several banking institutions. He left his job as the Comptroller of the National Bank of Detroit and moved to Arkansas in 1967 at the behest of Governor Winthrop Rockefeller to serve as the Director of the newly established State Administration Department. Until his resignation in 1969, as part of Rockefeller’s “Inner Circle” (as depicted by political cartoonist George Fisher), he implemented many reforms to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the state’s government. After retiring from the financial sector, Mike owned and operated the Cantrell Road Package Store until selling it in 2010.

Mike enjoyed golf, traveling, and family gatherings full of laughter, music and wine. He passed away peacefully in the home he loved, with his family at hand.

There will be a funeral mass at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in North Little Rock, Arkansas, at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, November 20. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Subiaco Abbey’s Retreat House (https://www.countrymonks.org/memorial-gifts), or the Medical Mission Sisters (www.medicalmissionsisters.org).

–––––❖––––– ELIZABETH (BETTY) SUE HOOTON JOHNSON, 88, passed away Monday, November 5, in Little Rock. Born January 15, 1930, in Tipton, Oklahoma, Betty was the sixth of the nine children of William Ross and Della Bowers Hooton of Pocahontas, Arkansas. She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, Hillman Hooton, Jolene Smith, Glenn Hooton, Ralph Hooton, Don Hooton, Flo Gates, Nada Stenberg, her beloved husband, Herbert Johnson, her eldest son, Randall Smith, and grandson, Michael Smith.

Pocahontas was the place Betty always considered her hometown. During the years of World War II the family was moved to Kansas, Mississippi, and back to Arkansas by the duties of father Ross, who worked for the Civil Service Administration. Betty graduated high school in Jonesboro, and went on to become a highly skilled printer.

Betty married her wonderful husband, Herb, in 1981, and they were blessed with 16 years together until his death in 1997. Their door was always open to help others, including raising grandson, Spencer, for several years during his father’s service in the U.S. Navy.

They listened, loved and counseled children and friends alike. This ability to give of herself and help others continued through the end of her life. Betty was loved and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

A Memorial Service to honor her will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, November 10, at Smith North Little Rock Funeral Home.
