Anna Gail Stonecypher

Anna Gail Stonecypher was born in Delaware, AR to the late Gordon and Verena Robinson and passed away at 98 years of age Tuesday, April 4, 2017, at Legacy Heights in Van Buren, AR. She was preceded in death by her two sisters, Virginia Johnson and Corrine Harwood.

She moved to Fort Smith immediately prior to the beginning of World War II and worked as a seamstress in the apparel manufacturing industry and part time as a beautician in her own shop.

She was married to Edmond Stonecypher, and in later years, to Clarence Bowman, who are both deceased. She was a member of Cavanaugh United Methodist Church.

Besides enjoying her home, she thrived in maintaining a beautiful, immaculate yard. No matter the season or hour of the day, she could be seen working in her yard even at the age of 97. No ground was untouched by her loving hands. The array of azaleas, roses, irises and petunias in the spring were spectacular to see.

She is survived by her nieces, Glenda Johnson of Dallas,TX and Melanie Delbridge of Roswell, GA; and a nephew, Gordon Harwood of Tulsa, OK.

Funeral service will be at 10:00 AM Saturday, April 8, 2017, at Edwards Funeral Home Chapel in Fort Smith with burial to follow at Forest Park Cemetery.
