Lonnie Yarbrough Obituary
Lonnie Odell Yarbrough, age 76, of Dardanelle, passed away Thursday, September 11, 2025, at his home.
He was born April 4, 1949, in Paris, Arkansas to the late Fonnie Lee Yarbrough and Jessie Lee Parker Yarbrough. He attended the Russellville First Assembly of God Church. Lonnie was hardworking and always provided for his family. He worked 15 years at Dow Chemical and retired from Mahle in 2013. He was calm and kind – never saying a harsh word to anyone. He was a die hard chevy and Nascar fan, and an avid collector of die-cast cars. He enjoyed spending time with his sons and building homemade dune buggies and hot rods. He was always smiling, positive, and liked joking around. He loved spending time with his family during family gatherings, and his pockets always had peppermints for his grandchildren. He leaves a wonderful legacy of how to be a Godly husband and how we should treat others. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Survivors include his wife of 57 years, Linda Chronister Yarbrough; three sons, Chris and Bobbi Yarbrough, Brad and Shannon Yarbrough, Mark and Courtney Yarbrough; two sisters, Faye Talley, Martha Luningham; sisters and brothers in law, Shirley and Sonny Hall, Harold and Janice Chronister, Sheila and Steve Rogers, Tina and Patrick Wilt; 11 grandchildren, Kristen Robertson, Hannah Yarbrough (Ethan), Shalyn Lorenz (Dalton), Elesha White (Corey), Ashlynn Yarbrough, Daulson Yarbrough, Briston Yarbrough (KatiBeth), Pyper Yarbrough, Claire Yarbrough, Donavin Yarbrough, Quinna Yarbrough; seven great-grandchildren, Brooka, Avery, Nolan, Maylee, Lenni, Marklynn, Izekiel and one on the way, Maelynn and several nephews, nieces and a host of other family and friends.
Graveside services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at Earl Ladd Cemetery in Danville with Pastor Mike Norberg officiating.
Pallbearers will be Chris Yarbrough, Brad Yarbrough, Mark Yarbrough, Anthony Chronister, Larry Hall and Briston Yarbrough.
