Frances Eloise Hendrix, 87, formerly of Norphlet, AR went home to be with her best friends Sug and Jesus, on Sunday, September 17, 2017.
We'll remember her when we smell pine needles under our feet, see a balled up tissue, or pass a particularly good display of yard art. We'll remember games on the porch, go-cart rides, the Norphlet Olympics, and scotcheroos in Christmas tins. We'll remember her pure joy when she smiled at Sadie the dog and how every meal was "de-lish-us." We'll remember the feeling that Christmas can finally start because Granny and Pappy pulled up in the Grand Marquis. We'll remember her wit, her strength, her laugh, her passion for telling others about the Lord. Most of all, we'll remember how she taught us to love: openly, with trust, gentleness, and joy. Her life was a series of beautiful love stories, and her legacy will surely be as well.
She is survived by her sister and brother in law, Bobbie and Speedy Whisenhunt, of Norphlet; daughter and "son-in-love," Terri and Jerry Clayton of McKinney, TX; and grandchildren, Eric, Emma, Megan, and Mary-Catherine. Frances will be dearly missed by all.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, John Hendrix.
