Willie Marie (Hogue) Styles
Willie Marie (Hogue) Styles, claimed the promise of her faith and went home to live eternally with her Lord and Savior on June 16, 2021. Born May 18, 1924, the daughter of the late Arlie & Mattie Hogue, in Sardis, AR.
She married Wilburn (Bill) Styles and raised three children. She had been a resident of Sardis, Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Conway. Willie, had a love for children of all ages and took great pleasure interacting with her grandchildren. She had a loving passion for her family. She was a devoted follower of Christ and served Him in many capacities. A lifelong member of the Methodist Church, volunteer at hospitals & non-profit organizations, Sunday school teacher, VBS leader, Girl Scout guide and loving mother. She enjoyed her high school years of playing basketball and participating in other sports. Following her graduation from Bryant High School, on May 28, 1943, Willie supported our nation, during World War II, by assisting with munitions manufacturing. Most of all, Willie will be remembered as a constant beacon of love. Her heart was big enough to love everyone she met. She was an example of sharing anything she had with someone in need and was a true believer that our life does not consist of what we possess.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by sister, Doris Bradbury of Sardis; brother, Otis Hogue of Benton and grandson, Micah Styles.
She is survived by brother, Billie Joe Hogue of Little Rock and sister, Jean Jackson of Lake Charles, LA.
