of Enola, AR
June 21, 1933 - October 25, 2014
Learleen Caputo, 81, of Enola went to be with her Lord Saturday, October 25, 2014. She was born on June 21, 1933. She was preceded in death by her parents, Tommy Franklin Jobe, Amy Augusta Jobe, one brother Osborne Jobe, one sister Jewell Jobe, and late husband Pressly (Shine) Sanson. She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Phil Caputo, three daughters: Pat Hawkins (Eddie) of Enola, Jennifer Breeding (Patrick) of Enola, and Angela Curtis (Denis) of Vilonia. Six grandchildren: Crissy Berry (David) of Vilonia, Justin Breeding (Brieanna) of Vilonia, Heather Oaks (Greg) of Greenbrier, Brandon Breeding (Honey) of Greenbrier, Brad Curtis (Brittany), and Amanda Head (Jimmy) of Edmond, Oklahoma.

Learleen was a faithful member of the Enola church of Christ. She instilled in her family the importance of living their lives for Christ. Learleen loved helping others and always gave of herself first. No one stopped at her house without leaving with a full stomach or food to take-home. She graduated from Mount Vernon High school and was a life-long resident of the community. She developed a love of sports as a young girl and played basketball for the Mt. Vernon Blue Jays. Her love of sports continued throughout her life and there was not one sporting event of her children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren that she was not there supporting them as their biggest fan. She worked in the insurance business for 50 plus years and continued working until the time of her death. Learleen loved spending time outside with her flowers and working in her garden. She was the happiest when her family was together, especially each Sunday when they joined her at her home for a lunch that she prepared. Learleen leaves behind a legacy of Christian love and faith that will live on in the lives of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Visitation will be Tuesday, October 28th, at Roller McNutt funeral home from 6 to 8p.m. Funeral services will be Wednesday, October 29th at 10 a.m. at Roller McNutt funeral home with Eddie Hawkins and Brandon Breeding officiating. Burial will follow services at Crestlawn Memorial Park. Pallbearers will be Justin Breeding, Brandon Breeding, Brad Curtis, David Berry, Greg Oaks, Jimmy Head, Jacob, Jackson, and Luke Berry.

Dear Learleen's Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My mother and Learleen worked together at the insurance agency for many years and my mom always thought so much of Learleen. I always enjoyed going to the agency to visit Lealeen and my mom. Learleen loved her girls and her family so much. She will be greatly missed.

Travis Chance and Family
No one has to tell you, the family, what a remarkable human being Learleen was. Our hearts are heavy for you all. We have dearly loved Learleen since we moved here in 1985. She was our agent of choice back then, because of her name. All these years, every time we saw her, she talked to us like she saw us every single day. And, she was sincerely interested in our lives. We had not needed to go to the office for some time (year or two…or, more). But recently, I had to stop by. She was on the phone when I passed her desk, and she raised her head with a bright recognizing smile and waved. As, I was leaving, I passed her desk again. Her head was down, she was writing, and she was still on the phone. So, I didn’t stop, but headed toward the door. Before I could get out of the door, she had come up from behind and had me in a big hug, and asked how my husband was by name. That was Learleen. There is going to be a great void in the lives of so, so many. It was such an honor and privilege to know her. We are going to miss her so much. We pray that the Lord eases your pain, as He fills your hearts with the memory of her beautiful spirit.
Learleen was always so sweet to me and always so helpful. It has been a blessing in my life to have known her and her family. I am praying for comfort and peace with the assurance that one day we will who are in Christ will be reunited to live forever in the presence of our Lord.

To Learleen's Family:
That was a beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady, inside and out. Her kindness and compassion was on display when we suffered great property loss during the April tornado. She was there to serve her clients early the morning after the tornado, and assisted us in very quickly getting on the road to recovery. She went above and beyond for us, as I am sure she did for all her clients. Her Christian values were evident in her personal and professional life. May God give you strength during your time of loss.
Dear Family, I was shocked and saddened to hear the news. I can't even imagine what you are going through at this moment. Learleen and I worked together for almost 40 years. She was a great and caring lady and always ready to offer help wherever needed. She was so very family orientated and will leave a wonderful legacy.
I will not physically be able to be at the visitation or service due to hip surgery on Wednesday but you will all be remembered in my thoughts and prayers. May God hold you close.
So sorry to hear of Learleen's passing she was a wonderful friend, she has been taking care of our insurance needs for so many years and has always been so caring and when we needed some info we would always ask for her. such a sweet spirit we will surly miss her.
Praying that the Lord will surround you with His peace, encourage you in His love, and strengthen you with His presence.
Orbin and Marie Barnes
