On April 18, 2015 our dear mother, BESSIE MAE PREWITT, left this family to be with her Father and family in heaven. She was born on Jan. 15, 1927 to John Wade and Emma Cora Bell. She was a member of Sylvan Hills Church of Christ and retired from Maybelline. She was proud of her American Indian heritage and being a member of the Choctaw Tribe.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James H. Prewitt, Sr.; parents; sisters, Thelma Russell, Onita Whalen, and Dorthy Davis; and brother, William Bell.
She leaves behind to cherish her memories, children: Patricia "Corky" Gibbs and her husband, Wayne; James H. "Bo" Prewitt, Jr.; and Mary Onita Prewitt; grandchildren: Jason Wayne Gibbs (Nikki), Teffany Ann Sadler (Aaron), Carol Zimmerman (Matt), Jason Bagwell (Lindsey); great-grandchildren: Coleton Marshall Gibbs, Emily Grace Zimmerman, Ridge Wade Sadler; brothers, Cecil Bell (Mary), Walter Bell (Glenda), Bobby Bell (Delia); and a host of nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank Robinson Nursing Home for their excellent care, Baptist Health Springhill, and Baptist Hospice Service for their compassionate care.
Graveside service will be held at 3 p.m., Tuesday, April 21 at Grissard Cemetery in El Paso, Ark. Visitation will be from 12–2:00 p.m. prior to service at Smith-North Little Rock Funeral Home, Reception Hall, 1921 Main Street, North Little Rock, 72114.
