I got a chance to meet Cousin Duck only a few times. She seemed to be a person that said what was on her mind. Lots of our relatives said we looked so much alike. And I take that as a compliment. Rest In Heaven Cuz. I know you will be truly missed.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I met duck when I moved from Gurdon into the blue house on the corner of olive street . She was a good friend of mind and we had our son in the same month and were in the hospital at the same time. I hadn’t seen here in yrs. , but I always had her in my mind. I will truly miss our times we did share together.

Yvonne Sockwell, 65, of Prescott, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. Born on June 2, 1959, in Prescott, she was the cherished daughter of Brady Sockwell and Bobbie Fay McCoy Sockwell.
Yvonne began her education at the segregated McRae school and later graduated from Prescott High School, where she played basketball. She professed her love for Christ at an early age as a member of Munn’s Chapel First Baptist Church in Prescott.
Known for her vibrant personality, Yvonne brought joy wherever she went. She loved spending time with friends, playing cards, and having fun. She was authentic to her core—if she liked you, you knew it; if not, you probably knew that too.
Even as a young girl, Yvonne had a gift for cooking. Her culinary talents led her to work as a cook at various establishments before becoming the first cook on staff at Maxine’s Restaurant in Prescott, where she worked until its closing.
Yvonne was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Kenny Sockwell; and her brother-in-law, Johnnie Lee “Big Wheel” Hugle Sr.She leaves behind her loving son, Rodney Hall (Brandi); her brothers, Rev. Robert McCoy (Gale), Thomas Hayes, Jim Sockwell, and Rodney Sockwell (Latrice); her sisters, Catherine Hugle, Loretta Sockwell Brewer (Joe), all of Prescott, and Patricia Sockwell of Louisville, Kentucky; a special friend, Edward Block of Prescott; 15 nieces and nephews whom she adored; and a host of other relatives and friends who will forever cherish her memory.
Yvonne’s warmth, humor, and love for life touched everyone she met. Her legacy of kindness and authenticity will be remembered by all who knew her.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held in Yvonne's honor at 2:30 P.M. on Saturday, November 23, 2024, at Brandon's Mortuary in Hope. Family and friends are invited to a visitation from 5:00 - 7:00 P. M., on Friday, November 22, 2024, at the funeral home.
