Loyd G. Hutzel Sr.
Loyd Gene Hutzel Sr., 82, of Hot Springs, Ark., passed away July 20, 2017.
He was born March 19, 1935, in Hot Springs, to William Clifford and Delcie Myrtle (Teague) Hutzel. Loyd served on the Fire Department Board and as a firefighter for over 10 years with Morning Star Fire Department. He was a member of Oaklawn Missionary Baptist Church.
Loyd will always be remembered as a Godly man. He was always caring for his family and others before himself. Devotion to his wife of almost 65 years was a true picture of his love for her and then it spread through his three children and has passed down into each new generation.
Loyd’s daily ritual was to read his Bible. He read his One Year Bible through every year for over 30 years. He always attended church regularly until lately when his health would prevent him from doing so. He loved construction; he built many things and if there was ever a good project to be done and figured out, he always was eager to help.
Loyd pursued and wanted a food pantry at our church, and with his persuasiveness and eager attitude, we serve folks through it daily now.
Loyd traveled to some interesting places, like Israel. He would frequently tell about his trip there and how much it meant to him. He was a truck driver, so he did see many sites. Loyd enjoyed some family trips as well, to Hawaii, Branson and several trips he would make with his son to purchase a fire truck or some other type of work vehicle.
Loyd was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Deanna Lynn Hutzel; grandson, Brandon Hutzel; and brother, William Hutzel.
Survivors include his wife of 64 years, Mary Hutzel; daughter, Teresa Hunter (Larry); son, Loyd Hutzel Jr. (Peggy); brother, Richard Hutzel (Debbie), all of Hot Springs; sister, Helen Hunter (Sid), of Sherman, Texas; grandchildren, Larry Hunter Jr. (Jennifer), Joseph Hunter (Jenny), Clint Hunter (Michelle), Dustin Hutzel (Susan), Nichole Lawrence (Dustin). The legacy continues with nine great-grandchildren and 35 nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his little dog, Shadow Deann, who has been his partner right by his side the last five years.
Visitation will be 3-5 p.m. Sunday at Caruth-Hale Funeral Home.
A celebration of Loyd’s life will be 2 p.m. Monday at Oaklawn Baptist Church with Brother Jeff Hill and Brother Darryl Chandler officiating.
Burial will follow at Morning Star Cemetery.
Pallbearers include grandsons Larry Hunter Jr., Joey Hunter, Clint Hunter, Dustin Hutzel, Dustin Lawrence and Grayson Hunter.
Honorary pallbearers include Dr. Jeffrey Tauth, Dr. John B. Bond, Brother Joe Cook and Brother Harvey Speer.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Food Pantry at Oaklawn Baptist Church, where Loyd had a big heart to always be able to help someone and help them to keep from going hungry.

Patsy R. Natho
HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE — Patsy Ruth (Price) Natho passed away peacefully on July 17, 2017, due to dementia-related illness.
Patsy was born Sept. 13, 1934, in Texola, Okla., and was raised in Borger, Texas. There she met Carl Natho, who would become her husband of 53 years. They later moved to Bartlesville, Okla., where they lived for decades and raised their two children, David and Amy. Carl and Patsy retired to Hot Springs Village, Ark., in 1997. In the last years of life, Patsy found joy in her dear companion, Bob Rogers.
Patsy had many jobs in her lifetime, including stay-at-home Mom, legal assistant with Phillips Petroleum Company, antiques appraiser and running Two Friends Estate Sales with a partner in the Village. She volunteered countless hours of her time to support church activities and community organizations. She was a member of PEO sorority and the Kiwanis Club.
Patsy was preceded in death by her parents, Olvin and LaNell Price; her brother, Joe Price; and her husband, Carl Natho.
She is survived by son, David Natho (Karen Hallett); daughter, Amy Natho (Mike Porter); and numerous “honorary grandchildren.”
We will remember her as feisty, outspoken, funny, strongwilled and fiercely independent, with a flair for the dramatic … but also as a loving and committed wife and mother with a tender heart, generous spirit and a passion for helping others. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends, but we are glad that she is once again whole, at peace and reunited with loved ones who have gone before.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the staff of Village Springs Health and Rehabilitation and Dierksen Hospice for the loving care they provided to Patsy in her last weeks of life. Your kindness will never be forgotten.
We will celebrate Patsy’s life at a memorial service at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Hot Springs Village at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017.
