Obituary: Mary Jacqueline Rodgers of Fairfield Bay

Mary Jacqueline Rodgers, 82, of Fairfield Bay, formerly of Wynne, departed this life, Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2026, in Fairfield Bay. She was born Aug. 16, 1944, in Wynne, the daughter of Jack and Neoma Burnett Crowe.

Jackie was a graduate of Vanndale High School and then earned her associate’s degree in nursing from EACC. She was of the Baptist faith and was a past member of the East Baptist Church of Wynne. Throughout her life, Jackie devoted many years to nursing and caregiving. Caring for others was not simply her profession, but an important part of who she was. She worked for many years as an LPN at Crestpark Nursing Home and then went on to be an in-home care giver.

She found happiness in the simple things in life. She loved going to garage sales and searching for antiques and treasures, spending time in the kitchen cooking, and settling in to watch a good movie, above all, she loved her family and the Razorbacks.

Jackie spent so much of her life caring for others, both through her work and within her family. Her life will be remembered through the people she cared for, the family she loved, and the many memories she leaves behind. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by her father, Jack Crowe; mother, Neoma Burnett Stovall; one sister, Linda Crowe; two brothers, Ralph Stovall and Jimmy Stovall; and one grandson, Ryan Andrews.

Survivors include one son, Larry Gene Andrews of Wynne, Julie Andrews Hoppen of Diamondhead, Mississippi; one sister, Peggy Stovall Massey, who lovingly cared for Jackie during her later years; three grandchildren, Corey Hoppen, Kyle Andrews and Alex Andrews; seven great-grandchildren and many other relatives and friends.

In accordance with Jackie’s wishes, there will be no formal service. The family kindly requests that you take a moment to remember Jackie in your own way.
