Monica Koder Obituary
On September 11, 2025, Monica Diane Koder, 52, of Paron, went to be with our Lord and Savior. Monica was born on July 28, 1973 to the late Leroy and Shiela Koder in Benton, Arkansas.
Those who had the pleasure of knowing and being around Monica knew what a light she was in this world. She enjoyed messing with her brothers, loving on her parents, and simply being around those that loved her. Monica lived simply but loved big. God called upon her to bring joy to our family for many years and for that we are thankful. We can most certainly find comfort that she is rejoicing in Heaven today.
Preceding Monica in death are her parents, Leroy and Shiela Koder, her grandparents, Frank and Bonnie Koder; Louis Garrett, and her uncle, Ronnie Koder.
She is survived by her younger brother and sister-in-law, Dusty and Angel Koder, her older brother, Brett Koder (Karla), her niece and nephew, Audrey Cason (Zach) and Brody Koder, her great nephews, Beau Cason, Forrest Cason and Walker Cason, her aunt Bonita Winters (Jessie) and uncle Billy Koder (Blenda) and many other family and friends.
Monica will be deeply missed by her family and anyone who knew her.
