Obituary
Melba Fairris Stewart, 87, of Strong, AR, went to be with the Lord on Monday, January 15, 2018 at Oak Ridge Nursing Home in El Dorado.
Melba was born at her home in Strong, AR on September 5, 1930, the daughter of John Henry and Addie Laura Farris. She was a member of United Methodist Church of Strong.
Preceding her in death are her parents; sister, Lovie Sue Robertson of El Dorado; brother, James H. Fairris of Strong; late husbands, Morgan Frisby and George W. Stewart; one granddaughter and two step-grandsons.
Those left to cherish her memories is her son, Larry G. Frisby (Diane) of Lake Village; step-son, Tommy Stewart (Evelyn) of El Dorado; step-daughters, Faye Frisby (Larry D.) And Kaye Overstreet (Jack) of El Dorado; brothers, Sam Fairris (Peggy), Dan Fairris, Jerry Fairris (Janet) and Morgan Fairris; sister Linda K. King (Donnie); two grandchildren, eight step-grandchildren, four great grandchildren, numerous step-great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Melba was a " Sassy" and "Classy" lady. She was great at keeping people entertained whether it was hosting in her home or just socializing about town. She loved life and family as well as the staff and residents of the Oak Ridge Nursing Home where she lived for the last five years. There she loved playing Bingo and won Ms. Midnight Stroll in one of Oak Ridge Beauty Pageants. You did not arrive or leave her home without being offered a coke, including at Oak Ridge. Her favorite holiday; Christmas, and of course let us not forget her favorite drink was a glass bottled Coca-Cola. She will be greatly missed but she will always be remembered.
Visitations will be held 10:00a.m.-12:00p.m. on Friday, January 19, 2018 at Perry's Funeral Chapels.
Graveside Service will be held 2:00p.m. on Friday, January 19, 2018 at Strong Cemetery.
In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Strong Cemetery.
The family would like to thank all the staff at Oak Ridge Nursing Home as well as Hospice of El Dorado for all their care and service to our beloved and to us.
