–––––❖––––– ANNIE ELIZABETH ISOM HEAD, 97, of Little Rock, joined her beloved “Shug” on the 1st teebox of heaven’s golf course on June

29, 2018. She was born 3/8/21 in Asheville, N.C. to Beatrice and

John Thomas

Isom. She was a graduate of

NLRHS and married WT Head on 11/19/38. They were inseparable until his passing in 2007. Until her very recent hospital stay, she had lived independently in the home they built on West Markham, shopping and “collecting” to her heart’s content.

Annie was a great wife with a very spoiled husband. She was also gifted at spoiling her grandchildren, the first of whom dubbed her NunNuh, and the nickname became permanent. At midlife she discovered golf and quickly became a championship-flight golfer, deadly with her Bullseye putter. She played golf regularly until almost 90, when she put way her sticks and spent her time “going through” all the stacks & sacks of “treasures” she had accumulated through the years.

She is preceded in death by her husband, WT Head, her parents, and five of her siblings, Thomas Isom, Callie Lemmer, Ruth Misner, Georgie Wilson, and Bill Isom. She is survived by her children and their spouses, Ann & Gary Solomon of San Francisco, Calif. and Tom & Anne Head of Hot Springs; her grandchildren, Robert Eardley (Holly) of Naples, Fla., Elizabeth Eardley Park of Lexington, Ky., Keith Eardley (Polly) of Georgetown, Ky., Julie Eardley Sereno (Chad) of Bel Air, Md., Laura Head Sheredy (Kevin) of Cabot, and Thomas Anney (Monica) of Olympia, Wash.; her great-grandchildren, Katherine Story (Matt), David, John (Victoria), Margaret & Bethany Eardley, Thomas & Anna Sereno, Alexander Sheredy and Robin Anney. She is also survived by her brother, Joe Isom (Winnie) and many nieces & nephews, who called her “Aunt Sis.”

We will all miss her quirky ways & spunky spirit, and will cherish the special memories within each of us.

Visitation will be Friday, July 6 at Griffin Leggett at 5800 W. 12th St. at 11 a.m., service at noon & burial at Roselawn Cemetery immediately thereafter. Please do dress comfortably and casually in this Arkansas heat!

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you consider a donation in Annie’s name to The First Tee of Little Rock. www. griffinleggetthealeyroth.com.

–––––❖––––– DWAYNE LYNN LASITER, 82, of North Little Rock, died June 27, 2018. He was born in Brummitt, Lonoke

County, Arkansas, to Roy and

Amy Lasiter on December 15,

1935. Dwayne was a U.S. Navy veteran and a lifelong member of Baring Cross

Baptist Church.

He was a graduate of the 1953 class of North

Little Rock High

School and attended the University of Arkansas at Little

Rock. Dwayne was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was our love, our champion, our protector, our teacher, our jokester, our rock. He worked hard all of his life to provide for his family. He was the center of our family and will be missed forever in our hearts.

Dwayne was preceded in death by his mother and father; his brothers, Billy Roy Lasiter and Mannie Lasiter; sister, Peggy Lasiter; and his nephew, Michael Lasiter. He is survived by Laura Lasiter, his wife of 57 years; his daughters, Laurie and her husband, Bob Harris, Wendy and her husband, John Gregan; and his beloved three grandchildren, LauraJane Libkie, Taylor Eller and Isabel Gregan. He was delighted and so in love with his first great grandchild, Hayes Eller, and recently was blessed again with the birth of his second great-grandchild, Hallie Grace Eller. His grandchildren were the lights of his life and he loved them beyond words. He is also survived by his brothers, Tommy J. Lasiter (Pam) and Ronnie Lasiter (Susan); his sister, Sandy Kay Simmons; and his nephews and nieces, Alan Simmons, Allison Hester, Ryan Lasiter, Christie Schmidt, Holly Woprice, and Paige Lasiter.

Dwayne never met a stranger. He loved people and people loved him. He loved to talk with people and enjoyed his monthly high school classmates lunch and visiting with neighbors and his friends, including the clerks at his local grocery store. He worked for many years at Hoerner Waldorf/Champion Int’l/ Stone Container, holding several jobs, including steel rule die maker and had wonderful coworkers whom he loved (he recently attended their annual picnic and really enjoyed seeing everyone again). After retirement, he enjoyed spending time at home, puttering in his workshop, driving LauraJane and Isabel to school and back all the way from grade school through high school, digging holes for his wife’s garden (of which there were many), and watching his favorite teams play football.

The family would like to thank Dr. Caldwell, Dr. Rasheed, Dr. Greenwood, and the wonderful staff of doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists in the CC Intensive Care Unit at Baptist North Hospital for their care and treatment of Dwayne in his last weeks of life. We appreciated the loving care and concern shown by Dr. Sauer and his staff at Baptist Hospice.

Those who desire may send memorial donations to Baring Cross Baptist Church, or to the charity of choice in Dwayne’s name.

Funeral service will be 11:30 a.m., Thursday, July 5, 2018 at Smith – North Little Rock Funeral Home. Visitation will begin one hour prior to the service. Burial will be at Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery, in North Little Rock. Online guestbook at www. SmithFamilyCares.com.
