of Kensett, AR

August 19, 1925 - January 17, 2025

Murrell Hawkins Hilton was born August 19, 1925 in Cabot, AR to William B. Hawkins and Pearl Finley Hawkins. She departed to her heavenly home on January 17, 2025.

After approximately 40 years, she retired from the Ideal Bread Company at 75 years old. She was a devoted member of the Kensett First Baptist Church as exemplified by her and her sister, Pearl, attending every wedding, baby shower, funeral, church service, feeding the sick, visiting the nursing homes and singing in the church choir.

Her and her sister, Pearl, took great joy in being twins and could be found at local restaurants, always dressed alike. Affectionately known as The Divas, Murrell and Pearl, were homebound for ten years except for assisted trips to the doctor, hairdresser and restaurants.

They received excellent care from their daughters, Beverly Womack, Donna Hopper, Cathy Potter, Beth Ledbetter and Becky Handley. Murrell's ability to accept life's challenges with strength, her generosity, devotion to her family and sense of humor will be missed.

She is survived by two daughters, Donna Hopper (Robin) of Searcy and Cathy Potter of Conway; three grandchildren, Suzanne Roach (Craig) of Jonesboro, Ross Hopper of Searcy, Robert Hopper of Fayetteville and great grandson, Owen Roach of Jonesboro and sister-in-law, Susie Hilton Spann of Bismarck. In addition, she leaves behind Beth and Becky and many other beloved nieces, nephews and friends.

Special thanks to Superior Health and Rehab and Gentiva Hospice staff.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bob of 62 years; her siblings, Mary Quattlebaum, Ruby Clement McIntire, Pearl Palmer, William Hawkins and her son-in-law, Don Potter.

Visitation will be held 10:00AM Saturday, January 25, 2025 with Funeral Service to follow at Kennect City Church at the original KFBC Campus and burial will be at White County Memorial Gardens by Roller Daniel Funeral Home.
