It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my beautiful sister, Kelly Owens, 49 of Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Kelly passed away peacefully on August 19, 2026, at Circle of Life in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Kelly cherished her family deeply and took great joy in being a grandmother to Kennedy and Kason. She is survived by her children, Kendra Noe, Dakota Noe and Sydney Bonilla-Leon, her mother Dory Hamilton and stepfather Mike Hamilton and her father Mike Owens and stepmother Perlinda Owens along with tons of family and friends.

Kelly had a special love for her dogs, shopping and cooking. Kelly found happiness in the simple moments of life and in the time she spent with the people and animals that she so loved.

Kelly did not want a funeral and her wishes will be honored. Instead, we ask that those who knew and loved her remember her in your own way, holding close to the memories and moments you shared with her.

Losing Kelly leaves a heartbreaking emptiness that words cannot describe. She was a treasured part of our family whose memory will forever remain in our hearts.

Rest peacefully, my beautiful sister. You will be loved, missed and remembered always.

Bonnie Rhea Henry, affectionately known as “BonBon,” “Mimi,” “Mom,” and “Babe” to her loved ones, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2026, at the age of 70 after a courageous 26-year battle with breast cancer. Born on March 18, 1956, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, she was the cherished daughter of Beverly Rae Woodson and Charles Edward Barrett.

To encapsulate Bonnie in just a few paragraphs is no easy task. She was a shining star, a beautiful light both inside and out. Her kindness radiated to all she met; she was silly, loved to laugh, and found joy in making others feel seen, heard, and comfortable. Above all, Bonnie loved her family fiercely. Resilient and unyielding, she never let life’s challenges grind her down. As a mother, friend, and partner, she was the epitome of what everyone desired to have and to be.

Bonnie grew up in Gentry, Arkansas, before moving to Springfield, Missouri, where she fell in love with a railroader she met at The Spaghetti Factory. They would be inseparable for the next 48 years.

Bonnie enjoyed traveling, recently exploring Europe with her husband, John, and her lifelong best friend, April Johnson, and her husband, Jim. She cherished quality time with her family, especially her five beloved grandchildren. Her passions included genealogy, history, and documentaries, and she was proud to be an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation Tribe, and a relative of the “Cherokee Kid,” Will Rogers.

For over 35 years, Bonnie was a talented hairstylist, owning salons in both Rolla, Missouri, and Rogers, before retiring in 2019 to pursue her dreams of travel, leisure, and being with her grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Brad Barrett, and her sister Mary Beth Clark. Bonnie is survived by her devoted husband, John Henry, whom she married on October 12, 1979; her daughter, Ashley Henry Kennedy, and her husband, Adrian, of Rogers; her son, Sean Henry, and his wife, Rebekah, of Rogers; her brother, Mike Barrett, of Gentry; five grandchildren, Rozalyn, Breckyn, Bridger, Stellan, and Bradley; and a host of nieces and nephews, including her baby niece, Shelby Hawkins Nelson, and her husband, Jeff.

A celebration of Bonnie’s life will be announced at a later date by the family. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Bonnie’s honor may be sent to Clay Morgan at the Humane Society for Animals, Inc. (nwahumanesocietyforanimals.org) or to http://PBS.org.

In Loving Memory of Hatsuko German

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Hatsuko German, who peacefully entered the presence of her Lord and Savior on the morning of July 18, 2026, at Shiloh Nursing and Rehabilitation in Springdale, Arkansas.

Hatsuko was, above all else, a devoted and loving mother whose greatest joy in life was her family. She dedicated her life to caring for and encouraging her children, always putting their needs before her own. Her kindness, quiet strength, and unwavering love touched the lives of everyone who knew her. She had a gentle spirit, a generous heart, and a remarkable gift for making others feel welcomed, valued, and loved.

A faithful Christian, Hatsuko’s trust in God was the foundation of her life. She often spoke of the hope found in Jesus Christ and lived her faith through compassion, humility, and service to others. Her life was a beautiful testimony of love, grace, and perseverance.

She is lovingly survived by her son, Jim German and his wife, Gayla (Of Rogers,AR.), and her daughter, Sandy Loucks (Of Mesa,AZ). She also leaves behind four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, all of whom were blessed by her unconditional love, gentle wisdom, and constant encouragement.

Hatsuko will be remembered for her warm smile, her compassionate heart, her quiet strength, and the countless ways she cared for her family and friends. Her legacy will live on in the lives she touched, the values she instilled, and the love she so freely gave.

Although our hearts are heavy with grief, we rejoice in the assurance that she is now at peace in the presence of her Savior. We are deeply grateful for the many precious memories she leaves behind, and we will carry her love in our hearts forever.

The family sincerely appreciates the many prayers, expressions of sympathy, and acts of kindness shown during this difficult time. Your love and support have been a great comfort.
