    Aletha Stovall passed away December 18th at 95 years of age.   It’s hard to say goodbye. Even after 95 years, we wish that we had more time, however, there is a saying: “To live in the hearts you leave behind is not to die”.  Mom will live on for a very very long time.

    She was preceded in death by her husband Hugh Stovall and her Daughter, Jenny Wilson. She is survived by her son, Hugh (Sonny) Stovall of Dallas and three daughters Betty Hoxsie of Hot Springs, Kathy Martinez of Colorado Springs and Gay Casey of Dallas, 8 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, Daughter in-law Betty, Son-in-laws Harry and Tim, nieces, nephews and friends who cared for her dearly.   This family, and her role as Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother was the most important thing in the world to Mom.  Being with her family was what she enjoyed most of all and she has left the legacy of her love, perseverance and her children.

    Visitation will be held Wednesday, December 21, 10-12 p.m. at Thornton Funeral Home in Mount Ida. Funeral Services will be under the direction of Thornton Funeral Home and will be held Wednesday,  December 21 at 2:00 p.m., at the First Baptist Church of Pencil Bluff.

    Aunt Aletha was one of the most caring, energetic, family loving people that I have known. Heart of gold! She will be missed but now she is with others that she had loved so much! And we will all meet again!

    I'm sorry for the loss of your dear loved one, Aletha, may you find comfort in the God of all comfort, Jehovah, (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) in his word, the bible, in Psalms 34:18: Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit. God;s word, also says in Isaiah 25:8: He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces...For Jehovah himself has spoken it.(Psalms 83:18; Titus 1:2) Isaiah 33:24; Revelation 21:3-5; / John 5:28,29; John 11:25,26; Acts 24:15. This is what God's Kingdom under Jesus Christ rulershiip will accomplish in the near future, for all those who love righteousness. The true God, also promises in his word, in Psalms 37:11,29:..The meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace; 29: The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. Psalms 104;5; Psalms 115:16; Ecclesiastes 1:4; Job 33:25; Isaiah 35:5,6; Isaiah 65:21,22; Psalms 37:34 (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
