Obituary
Arnold Thomas Dewey of Lavaca, Arkansas, passed away Saturday, February 6, 2016, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He was born November 22, 1926, in Leslie, Arkansas, to the late Jordan Dewey and Nancy (Burris) Dewey. He was 89 years old. He grew up in Flippin, Arkansas, and then in his early adult years moved to Lavaca, Arkansas, where he spent the rest of his life.
After retiring as a Master Plumber, he loved to work in his garden, raise cattle and horses, and build things for others in his shop. He loved to listen to Bluegrass and Gospel music. Most of all, he loved his family and Lord Jesus Christ, his Savior.
Since the early fifties, as a member of the First Baptist Church of Lavaca, he served in many capacities including Sunday School teacher and deacon.
He loved his country and served during World War II, both in Okinawa and Korea.
He was preceded in death by his wife and mother of his five children, Reba Jean Ray Dewey, and four brothers, Everett Dewey, Archie Dewey, Bob Dewey, and Aaron Dewey.
Arnold's children are very grateful for the love and companionship shown by Elaine Moore Carney to their dad over the years, especially in his last days.
He is survived by two sons, Tom Dewey and wife Kendra, of Lavaca, and Philip Dewey and wife Gail, of Farmington; three daughters, Charlotte Billinger and husband Jeff of Dallas, Texas, Deborah Brinkley and husband Phyl, of Maumelle, Arkansas, and Karen Fielder and husband Larry of Guy, Arkansas; one sister, Thelma Blomquist and husband Roland, of Flippin, Arkansas; (14) grandchildren; and (15) great-grandchildren.
Funeral service will be 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, February 9th, at First Baptist Church of Lavaca. Burial with military honors will be at Oak Valley Cemetery, located south of Lavaca, under the direction of Brotherton Brothers Funeral Home and Flower Shop in Charleston.
Pallbearers will be his grandsons.
Visitation will be Monday, February 8th, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Brotherton Funeral Home in Charleston.
The family would like to thank the staff of Brookfield, Dr. Macon Landers, and the nurses at Peachtree Hospice for their exceptional care.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Gideon's International, P.O Box 685, Greenwood, Arkansas, 72936.
