Carolyn Mason

Carolyn Jean Mason, 86, of Knobel, AR., passed away Tuesday, September 3, 2024 peacefully at Rector Nursing and Rehab in Rector, AR. surrounded by her loving family.

Mrs. Mason was born on July 7, 1938 in Lafe, AR., the daughter of the late Herschel and Euna Mae (Butler) Murdoch. She graduated with the class of 1957 from Knobel High School. She spent her life as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother; she touched the lives of everyone she met. She was a long-time member of the Knobel First Baptist Church, serving as treasurer for decades. She loved gardening and was an accomplished cook, rarely using a recipe, as it was a pinch of this and a dash of that in her kitchen.

She is survived by her children Sandra Spence of Marmaduke, AR., Carla (Mark) Smith of Peach Orchard, AR., and Scott aka “Thad” (Wendy) Mason of Meridian, ID.; five grandchildren Sheila (Cody) Prince, Susan (Rob) Schorer, Justin Smith, Megan (Derek) Cornish, and Becky (Sean) Liang; ten great-grandchildren with number eleven on the way; her sister Dewanda Cavitt; numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her husband Thad R. Mason; her parents; and son-in-law Kevin Spence.

Visitation will be held Saturday, September 7, 2024 at 2:00 PM in the Ermert Funeral Home Chapel. Funeral services will begin at 3:00 PM with Reverend Heath Vines officiating. Burial will follow the services at Pirtle Cemetery in Peach Orchard, AR.
