Lorraine Henick Furtick, age 91, of Sherwood, Ark. passed away on Sunday at her daughter and son-in-law's house in Sherwood, Ark. She was preceded in death by her mother, Gertrude Henick Haumschilt and her father,William Dudly Henick. She is survived by one son, Randall Davis Furtick (Marie) of Charlotte, North Carolina and one daughter, Marilyn G. Neff (Jay) and two grandchildren. Alieta Easley, a soulmate, caregiver and confidant, was a true friend for over 40 years and was a family member who stuck by her side until the day she passed away. It was an honor and a blessing having both of them move to Sherwood and live in my home until her final days. Mom was highly entertained with our five Chihuahuas that she called "her babies." She enjoyed numerous trips with the AARP to Tunica and the Isle of Capri and across the miles to Hawaii. Win or lose, she always had a happy smile. She was an avid fisherwoman and looked forward to weekend visits to Lake Hamilton. She was a very "spiritual" lady who loved her church and was a member of St. Lukes Episcopal Church. She was a member of the Little Rock chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, #217. Mom, we will always miss your beautiful smile and although it is hard to let you go, we know that you are in a better place in God's hands. I know when you get to heaven, the Christmas tree there will be as beautiful as the one you left here. Until we meet again...Our love, Randy, Marie, Alieta, Sissy and Jay. Visitation will be at Griffin Leggett Rest Hills Funeral Home, located at 7724 Landers Rd. in North Little Rock, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., Tuesday, January 17th. Funeral service will be in the Rest Hills Chapel on Wednesday, January 18th at 11 a.m. Please visit the online registry at www.griffinleggettresthills.com.
