Billy Lon Harrell, 85, left this earthly home September 23, 2016. He was at home in Mayflower with his wife of 63 years, Wilma Hogan Harrell, when he passed. Billy was born on February 24, 1931 to Ralph and Lilly Harrell.

He is survived by his wife, his daughter, Tracy (Mark) Hoggard and his son Lucky Harrell, all of Mayflower, one granddaughter, Summer Hoggard of Conway, two grandsons, Bryce (Katie) Hoggard of Mayflower and Cayden Harrell of Conway, and one great-granddaughter, Kennedy Hoggard. He is also survived by four sisters-in-law, one brother-in-law, 34 nieces and nephews, numerous great nieces, nephews and cousins, and many many friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Lilly Harrell, four brothers, Royce, Arcel, Ronald, and Frankie, one sister, Relma Lois, three brothers-in-laws, two sisters-in-laws and one nephew.

Billy was a farmer by trade most of his life and was named Faulkner County Farm Family of the Year in 2013. In his earlier days, he and his brother Royce ran the Gulf Station in Mayflower for many years, not only pumping gas and working on automobiles, but playing cards in the back room and pulling pranks on everyone. Many a person will recall all the hunting trips; rabbit hunting in Gillette, deer hunting on the Starr Farm, bird hunting on the Ranch or the Colorado elk/deer hunting, and if you didn’t hunt with him, you were sure to have eaten his famous fried catfish or his male or female fudge. Those who knew Billy will understand the fudge. He enjoyed playing baseball almost as much as hunting. He and his brothers played baseball all over Faulkner County for many years. His giving heart, fun loving spirit and love of for his family and friends will be long remembered by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed.

Pallbearers: Larry Lute, Elmer McCall, Mark Harrell, Ronnie Weeks, Frank Harrell, Junior McGinty, Dale Willis, Roger Harrell.
