Ronnie Glenn Steele
Ronnie Glenn Steele, 67, of Benton, Arkansas, passed away on March 16, 2026, at 3:40 p.m., surrounded by his loved ones.
Ronnie was born on November 12, 1958, in Paris, Texas, to Wanda and Edward Steele. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Tammy Steele; his children, Ashley (Dustin) and Justin (Keeleigh); and his three grandsons, Daniel, Ethan, and Atlas, who lovingly knew him as “Papaw.” He is also survived by his sisters, Debbie Clement and Vickie Bernard (Arthur).
Ronnie spent many years working as a truck driver until 1997, when he suffered a stroke that left him disabled. Despite this life-changing event, Ronnie remained strong and continued to find purpose and joy in everyday life. He spent his time caring for others in his own way—mowing neighbors’ yards, tending to his garden, and most importantly, spending time with his grandchildren.
He had a quick wit and a natural ability to make others laugh. Ronnie’s sense of humor, resilience, and love for his family defined who he was.
Ronnie was a man of faith and has gone to be with his Lord and Savior.
A celebration of life will be held on March 20, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Sharon Baptist Church, located at 402 Shenandoah Dr., Benton, Arkansas 72019.
He will be remembered as a devoted family man, a hardworking provider, and a proud Papaw whose legacy lives on through those who loved him.
We take comfort in knowing that he is whole again and at peace in the presence of the Lord. We will miss him deeply, but we know this goodbye is temporary.

Rebecca (Becky) Suzanne Lee
With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Rebecca (Becky) Suzanne Lee, a cherished wife, devoted mother, and beloved friend. Becky departed this world on March 13, 2026, at the age of 50, embraced by the love of her life, Christopher, after valiantly enduring a prolonged battle with cancer.
Born on June 17, 1975, in Harrison, Arkansas, Becky was a beacon of warmth and kindness to all who knew her. She was the adored daughter of William F. Null and Sandra Sue Clark, both of whom instilled in her the values of compassion and resilience. Her grandparents, Virgil and Dorothy Null, as well as Dale and Betty Clark, preceded her in death, undoubtedly welcoming her with open arms.
Becky shared a remarkable 30-year journey with her husband, Christopher G. Lee, whom she married on a crisp, snowy day on December 20, 1999, in Bayou Vista, Louisiana. Their love was a testament to unwavering dedication and joy, a union enriched by the laughter and happiness they created together. Their shared legacy continues through their two beautiful daughters, Victoria Groves, married to Cade Groves, and Brandi Lee, who carry forward their mother’s spirit of love and generosity.
A true tomboy at heart, Becky found solace and joy in the great outdoors, particularly in fishing and nature excursions, where she cherished the simple beauty of life. Her greatest passion, however, was her family. Becky dedicated herself to nurturing and loving them with every fiber of her being. Her sweet, raspy voice was a melody of comfort and encouragement, a reminder of her unwavering support and boundless affection.
Becky’s kindness knew no bounds. Her heart was open to all, and she was always ready to lend a helping hand, without hesitation. Her presence was a light in any room, and she possessed an incredible ability to lift the spirits of those around her, even during her own challenging moments.
Her positivity and resilience were an inspiration, as she continually found beauty in the world, no matter what the circumstances.
A private ceremony will be held to honor Becky’s life, in accordance with her family’s wishes. While the gathering will be intimate, the impact of her life extends far and wide, touching countless souls with her generosity and love.
As we say goodbye, we hold close memories of Becky’s laughter, her kindness, and her enduring love. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion and strength, a reminder to seek the good in everything and to cherish every moment with those we love.
Rebecca (Becky) Suzanne Lee will be profoundly missed but never forgotten. May her soul find eternal peace, and may we carry her light in our hearts forever.

He leaves behind a legacy through his three children: Christie Rice and her husband Bryan, George Thomas Brooks III, and Matthew Brooks and his wife Jessica.
George was also a proud grandfather and great-grandfather. His grandchildren, Charlene Dodson (and husband Hunter), Chelsea Hilborn, Noah Brooks, George Thomas Brooks IV (and wife Victoria), Rebecca Brooks, and Simone Brooks, each held a special place in his heart.
