Buddy Pugh Obituary
Buddy Pugh, 85, of Conway, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022.
He was born October 6, 1936 in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to the late Wilbur V. and Eva McClure Pugh.
Buddy is survived by his wife of 59 years, Sondra Pugh; daughter, Michelle Maltbia of Conway, (Marcus) and granddaughter MacKenzie; son, Brian Pugh of West Fork, (Rebecca) and granddaughter Bethany.
Buddy was a long-time member of the First United Methodist Church. He was loved by many people in the Conway community. Moving to Conway in 1978 from Tulsa, Okla., he was a national trainer of automotive diagnostic equipment for FMC Corporation. Later, he founded the Arkansas Educational Services group and spent the next 40 years helping teach youth valuable vocational skills, also providing civic organizations, schools, churches and the needy with a variety of tools, furnishings and other equipment that could be repurposed.
He truly had a servant's heart and was always looking to help those in need. Buddy was very active in the Conway Noon Optimist Club, devoting his time to the Pee Wee football and Christmas Angel Tree programs, touching many hearts with those outreach efforts. His family and friends will miss his love, friendship and humorous wit.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Tech Serve International at www.tech serve.org.
