Christine Hays

Our precious mother, Christine Hays, age 91, went to be with the Lord God that she loved so much on Sunday, October 27, 2013 at Saline Memorial Hospital as the result of a sudden infection in her blood. Mom was preceded in death by her parents, Dewey and Verla Withers of Fountain Hill; her husband of 52 years, Tommie Hays; a great-grandchild, Bailey Zimmerman; her brothers, Gaston and Sonny Boy Withers, and her sisters, Hester Chandler, Earlene Aldred, and Frances Withers. She left behind her children, TL Hays (June), Phillip Hays (Peggy), Sharon Lovett (Larry), and Melissa Mitcham (Eddie); her 14 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild; her sister, Dot Able; her brothers, Bobby, Billy, and Jimmy Withers; numerous nieces, nephews, and a host of dear friends. Mom was a faithful member of Geyer Springs First Baptist Church for 44 years, where she touched the lives of many women through leading Bible Study, and her own personal ministries. She was also a member of the Keenagers, and the Senior Adult Choir. Mom worked for the Little Rock Housing Authority for 27 years, where her walk with the Lord was a great testimony to all those she met. Funeral services for Mom will be Friday, November 1, 2013 at Geyer Springs First Baptist Church. The service will start at 2 p.m., and family visitation will be immediately before the service from 12:30-1:45 p.m. in the foyer of the church. The service will be officiated by Bro. Dave Hughey, and Dr. Paul Sanders. Her burial will be at Roselawn Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the building fund of Geyer Springs 1st Baptist Church or to the Church at Rock Creek Children's Home. The family would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the amazing staff of Saline Memorial Hospital, where Mom and our entire family received excellent, compassionate care during her short stay there.
