Lynda Gayle Miller, age 68, passed away on Friday, March 14, 2025, at her home in Mena, Arkansas. She was born on April 19, 1956, in Adel, Georgia, and grew up in Bristol, Florida. Lynda was a remarkable person who faced many challenges in life, yet she always tried her best. She was resilient and accomplished things that others never thought she could.
With a kind and gentle soul, she left a lasting impression on nearly everyone she met. She had a deep love for children and never met one she didn't like. Lynda found joy in arts and crafts, solving Rubik's cubes, and singing.
She is survived by her children, daughters, Sherry Pierson, Deborah and Rodney Foley, and son, Richard Smalley; her six grandchildren, Korigann, Asylin, Alejandra, Raven, Jakob, and Alyssa; her sister, Michelle Beaver, niece, Karah; as well as her niece, Mary Strickland and her children, Andrew, Ryan, Emily, Easton, and Dawson.
She was preceded in death by her beloved Granny, Myrtle Brown, and her father, Gene Beaver. Lynda will be deeply missed by her family and friends, who loved her dearly. Cremation is under the thoughtful care of River Glenn Cremation and Funeral Services.
