With a heavy heart, we share the passing of Paul Robert Womack, affectionately known by many names – Dadduke, Dad, Brother, Uncle, Tall Paul, and Womie. Born on May 9th, 1962, in Moline, Illinois, to Paul K. and Diane Womack, Paul peacefully departed this life on May 12th, 2025, at the age of 63, while residing in Pineville, Missouri.
Paul was a man whose life was deeply rooted in the principle of family first. His career as an automotive mechanic spanned many years and several locations, from his beginnings in Moline, Illinois, through La Crosse, Wisconsin, Rogers, Arkansas, and finally to Bentonville, Arkansas. He also dedicated his summers to The Falls in Pineville, Missouri, and contributed his skills to Tarsco in Anderson, Missouri. In 2024, Paul entered retirement, cherishing the time spent at home with loved ones.
Beyond his professional life, Paul was driven by an unwavering desire to serve those around him. He possessed a remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome and cared for. Never one to judge, Paul was passionate about inspiring others to reach their full potential. He was a natural teacher, a guiding leader, and a deeply empathetic soul. His wonderful sense of humor brought joy and laughter to countless lives, and even the briefest interaction with Paul left a lasting impact.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents, several aunts and uncles, and a beloved son-in-law. His memory will be cherished by his loving daughters: Shanna Packard and her husband Brian, along with their daughter Diane of Vancouver, Washington; Heather Wieden and her husband Robert, and their children Patrick, Lavinia, Lilian, Sarah, and Birdie of Bixby, Oklahoma; and his grandson Blake Greer of Anderson, Missouri. He also leaves behind his stepchildren: Chris Greer, Roy Bumstead, and Jessica Atterberry, along with their families; and his sister, Christine Hamilton, her husband Jerry, and their sons Aaron, Noah, and Zach of Jacksonville, Florida.
A service to celebrate Paul's life will be held at Bella Vista Lutheran Church, located at 1990 Forest Hills Blvd., Bella Vista, AR 72715, on Friday, May 16th, 2025, at 10:00 am. Pastor Christopher Goshe will officiate.
