Martha Louise Eaker, born on March 27, 1943, passed away on February 7, 2026, in Searcy. She lived a life marked by love, creativity, and bringing joy to those fortunate enough to know her.

Martha took immense pride in her family, a cherished cornerstone of her life. She is survived by her three devoted sons, David Eaker, Brian Eaker, and Russell Eaker, along with their wonderful wives, Tammy and Debbie Eaker. A grandmother extraordinaire, Martha was blessed with nine grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Marion Eaker, and two daughters Crystal Ball and Tammy Gretz with whom she shared countless happy memories. 

Martha's hobbies and interests included a flair for crafting and decorating, activities that reflected her artistic spirit. She treasured the time spent cooking, often creating delightful meals that brought her family together. Shopping also brought her joy spending hours looking for the perfect buy. More than anything she loved spending time with her family. Each endeavor she pursued was infused with her warmth and dedication.

As we remember Martha Louise Eaker, we celebrate a life rich in love, creativity, and invaluable connections that will continue to resonate through her family and friends. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and celebration that will forever echo in the hearts of all who knew her.
