Obituary Notice
Our mom, Neta JoAnn Benoit was born August 11, 1937, in Pocahontas, Arkansas the daughter of Charlie Ray Jenkins and Crata Cotabell DeRossett (Eddie Derossett). She passed on Friday, November 29, 2019. We are proud of the fact that some of our heritage is from “down south”. Mom was surely a feisty lady, stubborn, and very giving as well. She was being cared for in her home by amazing care givers, Karen Westfall, Karen Snyder, and Shannon Piper. They gave in to mom’s wishes and treated her like she was their own. Mom accepted Christ and we know that she is in Heaven with Pappy, they are dancing…

Dear LeeAnn and family, I am so sorry to hear of this. It has to be especially tough around the holidays. Feel comforted by the fact she accepted Christ. I remember how nice both her and Marv were to me and the fun times at their cottage in Caseville. Love you, Darrell
