June Lovelace Obituary
PIGGOTT - Rebecca June Lovelace, 83, passed from this life at General Baptist Nursing Home in Piggott on Wednesday, June 8, 2022.
June was born June 10, 1938, in Deering, Mo., to Annie Lois Ramey Neel and A.L. "Bill" Neel Jr. She was united in marriage to William L. "Bill" Lovelace on June 27, 1959, and to this union two children were born. She was a member of the Church of Christ.
June graduated from Deering High School. Given her quiet demeanor, many may be surprised to learn she was a cheerleader during her high school days.
She had a heart of kindness and generosity. Somehow, animals in need of help or a home knew how to find her. She often provided meals to those passing through and a loving home to many animals that needed it.
She was an avid reader and enjoyed antiquing, crafting and sewing. She found beauty in nature and appreciated the "simple things" of life. That's not to say she didn't like a little bling. She believed practically anything could be improved with some sparkle.
June and Bill met while they were working for Ark-Mo Power Co. She later worked as a teacher's aide and a pharmacy technician. However, she valued her family and living a Christian life above all.
Her roles as a wife and mom were her most rewarding, but they didn't compare to the day she became a grandmother and earned the name Meme.
June was preceded in death by her parents, Annie and Bill Neel Jr., brother, Billy Neel, and her husband of 56 years, Bill Lovelace.
Survivors include her daughter, LaNeel Lovelace of Piggott; son William L. "Larry" Lovelace Jr. and wife Misti of Piggott; four grandchildren, Amanda Sale and husband Gerald "Trae" Sale III of Jonesboro, Brandon Lovelace and wife Christen of Piggott, Colby Lovelace of Doniphan, Mo., and Chloe Lovelace of Piggott; one great-granddaughter, Izabelle Lovelace, and one great-grandson, Breck Lovelace; and many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. today, June 10, at Hoggard and Sons Chapel in Piggott with John Mundy officiating. Burial will be in Piggott Cemetery.
Pallbearers will be Brandon Lovelace, Colby Lovelace, Gerald Sale III, Chuck Sawyers, Geoff Norred and Brian Schulte.
Hoggard and Sons Funeral Home of Piggott is in charge of the arrangements.
Visitation will be from 2 until 3 p.m. today at the funeral home.
