FAYETTEVILLE — Mrs.
Marlene Veda Christensen
Westberg, age 84, of Fayetteville, Ark., passed away on Friday, Jan. 12, 2018, at the Willard Walker Hospice Home in Fayetteville. Marlene was born May 22, 1932, to Raymond and Ruth Christensen in Grand Island, Neb.
Raised in Glenrock, Wyo., she studied piano and organ, serving as church organist while in high school. After graduation, she enrolled at the University of Wyoming in Laramie where she became the accompanist for the University Choir and vocal students. She graduated in 1954 with a bachelor’s degree in art and music education.
From 1954 to 1960, she taught art in Cody and Casper, Wyo., public schools, serving two years as elementary art supervisor in Casper. As such, she developed an art outline for teacher’s that was later requested by the U.S. Department of Army for use in its schools.
In 1960, she resumed her study of the pipe organ at San Francisco Theological Seminary where she graduated with a master of arts in sacred music in 1962. While at seminary, Marlene married Paul Westberg, a ministerial student. They served churches in New Mexico and Oklahoma, she as minister of music, Bible teacher and co-counselor.
During this time, three sons were born. In 1970, the family moved to Fayetteville, Ark. Besides her responsibilities at church, Marlene also played recitals in organ and harpsichord at the University of Arkansas, substituted as organist at local churches, and served as Hospice volunteer trainer and coordinator in its early days. In 1980, she earned a master of fine arts in humanities from the University of Arkansas.
Because of a gene missing from her DNA, a lifetime of exposures to environmental chemicals left her disabled in 1986, with multiple sensitivities to chemicals (petroleum products and fragrances in particular), foods and prescription drugs. These sensitivities forced her to live an isolated lifestyle from that time on.
In 1992, she moved to a mountain site in south Washington County where she pursued an interest in writing non-fiction articles and novels. Sustained by her faith in God through Jesus Christ, she continued to live a productive lifestyle, giving support and encouragement through phone calls and letters to others who faced the same challenges. Her life was best summarized by words from II Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
Surviving Marlene are three sons and daughters-inlaw, Dan and Lisa from Cary, N.C., Mark and Amy from Wheat Ridge, Colo., and Scott and Pam from Arkadelphia, Ark., five grandchildren, Megan and Erin, Stephen, Stephanie and Sierra; one sister, Joyce Artery from Albuquerque, N.M.; three nephews and one niece.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Sutter Presbyterian Church, 3500 Fee Fee Road, Bridgeton, Mo., 63044, whose pastor and members gave emotional and spiritual support and offered prayers that helped sustain Marlene in her years of isolation.
Memorial services will be held at a later date. Arrangements by Benton County Memorial Park Funeral Home, Rogers, Ark. Online guestbook: www. bentoncounty memorialpark.com.

RISON — Charl e s Alfred “Chuck” Culpepper,
76, of Jefferson County, passed away Saturday, Jan. 13, 2018, at JRMC in Pine Bluff. He was born Sept. 26, 1941, in Lincoln County near Sanders Creek to the late Thomas Richard Culpepper and Nellie Mae Mann.
Preceding him in death was his brother James Mackie Culpepper of Pine Bluff.
He and his family have been lifelong members of the Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church in Palmyra, Ark.
Charles attended Glendale public schools and later graduated from Arkansas A&M College (now UAM) as a member of Sigma Tau Gamma. He was retired from vocational and industrial education with his career spanning over 30 years. He taught many students within Helena, Glendale, Gould, Dumas and Pine Bluff high schools while helping them attain knowledge, confidence and competency within the building trades.
He received the Certificate of Honor as an Outstanding Teacher for the 1968/69 school year on April 11, 1969, by the American Industrial Arts Association.
He loved his family and friends but also his canine companions. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, music, cooking and sharing a laugh (not necessarily in that order). Past students claim he would burst into song (often loudly) with a favorite snippet from Harold Jenkins or the Statler Brothers during class, but he insisted those random “workshop vocalizations” of classic country hits kept the birds from nesting in the shop building. Workshop safety, of course, was a top priority but he occasionally joked he had made it to retirement with all 10 fingers still intact!
A few older friends may recall his CB handle, Tater Slip or his nickname, Joe-Dobber, but if not, that’s fine; he’ll explain it all when you catch him on the flip side.
Survivors include his sister, Linda Nell Hankins of Palmyra; three sons, Michael Armstrong of Anderson, S.C., Brian Culpepper of Fayetteville, Dr. Chris Culpepper of Hot Springs and five grandchildren.
There will be no service at this time. He enjoyed the educational entertainment, the creative arts and all of the Do-It-Yourself programs on public television, so in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to AETN Foundation, 350 S. Donaghey, Conway, Ark., 72034, or www. aetnfoundation.org.
