Marilyn Kay Stanton Pierce of Conway, Arkansas, passed from this life on October 27, 2018, surrounded by family after a brave battle with cancer. .
Daughter of Nevada and Cletis Stanton of Conway, Kay was born November 13, 1946. Her childhood was an uncomplicated countryside life in Faulkner County. The old-fashioned values learned there in her early years marked her good character throughout her life. She was known for her ability to ''make a piano talk,'' and played at her small country church. She graduated from Greenbrier High School and after earning a Master's of Education at the University of Central Arkansas, she returned to teach English at Greenbrier for 37 years. She found great joy in teaching and cherished her time spent with students whose lives she shared and shaped in the classroom. Her love of teaching was recognized as she was honored as Teacher of the Year.
After retirement, she devoted her love and time to family and friends. She treasured most those days spent with her grandchildren, who affectionately called her ''Kay Kay.'' She inspired all with her ready smile, selfless kindness, and generosity.
She is preceded in death by her parents and her niece Laura Stanton. She is survived by her beloved husband of 34 years, Robert Pierce; daughter, Lindsey Pierce Hubbard (Steven); brother, Gary Stanton; niece Shelly Stanton Moon (Pat); great-niece Maegan Mathis; great nephew, Wes Mathis, and the true joy of her life, her grandchildren; Briley Kay Whitehead, Denver Pierce Whitehead, and Jaxson John Hubbard.
She was a member of Central Baptist Church in Conway and the Retired Teachers of Faulkner County.
Funeral services will be Monday October 29, 2018 at 1:00PM in the Chapel of Roller-McNutt Funeral Home, Conway. Visitation one hour prior. Interment will be at Bethlehem Cemetery at Shady Grove Cemetery.
