Oralene Persinger

of North Little Rock, AR

February 22, 1929 - October 15, 2017

Oralene Persinger, age 88, of North Little Rock, Arkansas. Passed away on October 15, 2017. She was born to the late Virgil Ray and Ora Lee Rae in Mount Vernon, Arkansas on February 22, 1929. Oralene is preceded in death by her parents, her husband; Clarence Melvin Persinger, one brother and a son; Gary Allen Blackell.

Oralene was of the Baptist faith and lived a life devoted to serving others. She enjoyed raising her children and loved them unconditionally. Oralene worked for Tyson Foods as a factory worker until her retirement. She had such a servants heart that she decided to take a job, taking care of people who were close to her own age and providing care for them in their homes. She did this until her health no longer allowed her to do so. Oralene lived a simple life, but was rich in ways only a life serving others can give someone. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Oralene is survived by three sons; Thomas (Sue) Blackwell of Pensacola, Florida, Jerry Blackwell and Robert Blackwell, both from North Little Rock. Four grandchildren; Chris (Heather) Blackwell, Tim Blackwell, Molly (Nick) Bertelson and Angela (Jason) Woodard.
