LYDA REINHEIMER

Heaven needed the perfect angel and Saturday evening, June 4th, 2022, God received Lyda McNully Reinheimer in his loving open arms. Lyda was born August 2nd 1935 to Sammie Roy McNully and Lucy Moore McNully in Horatio, Ark.

Lyda’s daughter Viki Carnation-Smith and husband Ken of Laguna Beach, CA and one step-daughter Fran Reinheimer of Lindale. She is also survived by 9 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.

Highland Park Baptist Church and First Baptist Church Moores Lane were very dear to Lyda’s heart. Her church families and friends have been blessings throughout this journey. Also, her Colleagues and friends from Northeast Texas MHMR where she retired after 17.5 years as Director of Finance were truly important to her even after retirement. To know her was to love her as she was known by many as the epitome of old fashioned southern grace. Her hair, nails, makeup and style were always perfection but her heart was full of warmth, love and compassion for all.

Graveside funeral service for Mrs. Reinheimer will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, June 17, 2022 in Hillcrest Memorial Park, 5101 W. 7th Street, Texarkana, TX, under the direction of Wilkerson Funeral Home in De Queen, Arkansas.
