Vernon Sublett Obituary
Vernon Sublett, age 89, was born to Jesse Sublett and Zora James Sublett in the Centerville community in Faulkner County, Arkansas. Juanita Sublett, age 84, was born to W. L. House and Ida Knippers House in the village of Converse in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. Vernon was a retired business owner known for his skills as a glazier and auto upholsterer. Juanita retired after 35 years as a legal secretary. Vernon and Juanita passed from this life 32 and ½ hours apart after 66 years of marriage.
They were preceded in death by their parents; Vernon's brothers, Esker Sublett, Sherman Sublett, Elbert Sublett and Raymond Sublett; sisters, Eva Wooley, Thelma Roberts and Pauline Stewart; brothers-in-law, Charlie Roberts and Lester Wooley; and sister-in-law, Sue Sublett. They were also predeceased by their grandson, Cody Sublett.
They are survived by three sons, Jeff Sublett, Rick (Peggy) Sublett and Greg (Amber) Sublett; Juanita's sister, Wanda House; close nephew, Jerry (Gloria) Johnson; grandchildren, Jeremy Sublett, Amy (Michael) Turner, Christopher (Hannah) Sublett, Whitney Black, Kelly Sublett, Drew (Alexis) Cooper, Pamela (Justin) Cox, Jesse (Elyse) Sublett, Mandy (Kaleb) Lape and Molly (Mike) Lynn; sisters-in-law, Helen Sublett, Emma Jean Sublett and Johnnie Sublett; and brother-in-law, Robert Stewart. They are also survived by 35 great grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; many beloved nieces and nephews; along with special friends Rick and Mary Farrer, Tommy Padgett and Joanne Sullivan. They are also survived by their very close church family that formally met at the Maumelle Church of Christ and their new church family at the Windsong Church of Christ.
Vernon and Juanita's home and table were always open to anyone that had been invited by their sons and grandchildren. Strangers would quickly become welcome friends. Step-grandchildren were instantly known as just grandchildren from day one and never treated differently than those born into the family. Their capacity for love was abundant and unending.
Visitation will be held from 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022, in the chapel of Roller McNutt Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held at 9:30 a.m. Friday at the funeral home. Greg Sublett will be officiating. Burial will be at Cypress Valley Cemetery in Vilonia, Arkansas.

Lives are like rivers, my friends.... eventually... they go where they must..... NOT where we want them to. But do not despair. Death is not an extinguishing of the light. It is only turning down the lamp... because the DAWN has finally arrived. God Bless, Rick.
