August 25, 1957 - December 18, 2015

Larry D. Croft, 58, of Scranton, Arkansas, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, December 18th, 2015.
He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on August 25th, 1957. Larry was a graduate of Northeast High School in Little Rock and attended Arkansas Tech University.

While at Tech, he met and would later marry the love of his life, Phyllis Bauer, of Scranton, Arkansas. Larry and Phyllis were married 36 years and raised two daughters, Kimberly and Jennifer.

After marrying, they lived briefly in Ft. Smith, then moved to just west of Phyllis' parents on the Bauer farm northwest of Scranton. Larry had an extensive career in sales, from concrete products to insurance. His ease with people made him a perfect fit for his job. Larry never knew a stranger.

Larry is survived by his wife, Phyllis Croft of Scranton; two daughters, Kimberly Gilbert, of Scranton and Jennifer Mills of Tulsa, Oklahoma; four grandchildren, Malachi Mills, Trinity Mills, Mordachi Mills and Destinee Gilbert.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Martha Worthington and step-father, Fred Worthington and grandparents, J.D. and Martha Mercer.

The funeral mass will be held at 10 a.m., Monday, December 21, 2015 at St. Ignatius Catholic Church with interment to follow in St. Ignatius Cemetery with Fr. Josely Kalathil, I.M.S. and Fr. Mark Stengel, O.S.B. officiating under the direction of Roller Funeral Home.

Pallbearers will be his nephews.

Memorials may be made to Scranton CCD program, c/o St. Ignatius Catholic Church.

The family wishes to thank the many folks in the community who have helped out with Larry over the years, particularly Bob and Ruth Snow and Dennis Ahne. We are forever in your debt.

I am so sorry for your loss losing a loved one in death is one of the most difficult things you will experience. But the bible holds out a comforting hope at Revelation 21:3,4 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more,+ neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” What a comforting thought from our loving God Jehovah. Very soon we will get to see our loved ones again.
