of Searcy, AR
October 10, 1945 - January 7, 2025
On January 07, 2025, Gereta Turpin of Searcy, AR passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones.
Gereta was born in Searcy, AR on October 10, 1945 to the late Jack and Edith Jordan. Gereta enjoyed all 20+ years she spent at both Speed Queen and Sears. Hancocks was a favorite too, which led to her delivering vehicles with David for Orr, East Park, Crain and several other dealerships, all of which brought her to never know a stranger.
Gereta most of all enjoyed being a loving wife, mother and most importantly a grandmother and the occasional picking of purple hull peas.
Gereta is preceded in death by her parents, Jack & Edith Jordan; two sisters, Pat Osborn, Frances Dale and one brother, Charles Jordan.
Left to cherish her memory, her loving husband, David; five children, Jennifer McIntosh (Davidde), Johnny Hendrickson (Linda), Cheryl Rollins (David), James Hendrickson (Debra), Kelly Fulks (Wesley); ten grandchildren, Taylor Tiner (Trevor), Haley Ramsey (Gunner), Brittany Potts (Chris), Joshua Hendrickson (Joanne), Hunter Rollins (Olivia). Tiffany Coley, D'Anna Holt (Brandon), Kyler Fulks, Kara Carver (Zack), Jonathan Alexander (Alexis); seventeen great-grandchildren, Mitchell Betts, Zoe Potts, Autumn Potts, Khayson Potts, Haygen Tiner, Laykyn Ramsey, Jewlia Hendrickson, Jazmine Hendrickson, Madison Coley, Riley Coley, Dillon Holt, Tristen Fortune, Teaghan Holt, Legend Jones, River Carver, Skyah Alexander, Amelia Alexander and one sister, Shirley Brown (David) of Texas.
Pallbearers will be Chris Potts, Miguel Sanchez, Trevor Martinez, Gunner Ramsey, Joshua Hendrickson, Hunter Rollins and Brent Davis. Honorary Pallbearers are Dean Palmer and Burnis Litaker.
As we bid farewell to Gereta, let us remember and honor the impact she had on our lives. May her soul rest in eternal peace and may the memories we share bring comfort during this difficult time.

My sympathies go out to Gereta's family. She was a dear friend and co-worker at Sears and briefly at Walmart. She treated my kids as if they were her own grandchildren.

I loved her so very much, she is my second cousin on my dad's side.

My heart goes out to Gereta's family and loved ones, especially James and Johnny. May God bring you peace. Gereta was one of the kindest and friendliest person I've ever know. She always had a smile on her face. Charlotte and I first met Gereta at Bethel Grove when we moved here in 1980. We became fast friends. I know she will be missed.

I miss you so much Gereta. You weren't just my mother-in-law to me. I cherished you as a second mother. Thank you for letting me talk to you about Jesus. Thank you for all you gave of yourself to your children and grandchildren. You were so generous and kind. I am thankful I was healthy enough to sing to you and visit with you the day before you went to be with Jesus. Such a lovely memory. Holding your hand and singing about the Lord that you were just hours away from seeing. Philippians 1:3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
