October 8, 1931 - January 20, 2025
Mollie M. Balentine, 93, of Harrison, Arkansas, passed from this life on Monday, January 20, 2025. Ms. Balentine was born October 8, 1931, to Ray and Esther Richardson of Big Flat, Arkansas.
Ms. Balentine married her husband, Bill, in 1948 and they raised three sons together while residing in Marshall and later moving to Harrison in 1960.
Ms. Balentine pursued a life of service, in many ways, to family, friends and often to those she only knew briefly. After serving many years at Boone County Hospital, she retired only to begin serving those in need of home care and companionship in their elder years. She loved her entire family with a fierce and unconditional love that she had come to know from her Savior, Jesus Christ and her home was always a warm and welcome place for all who entered.
Ms. Balentine is survived by her son, John (Drew) Balentine and wife, Kim of Joplin, Missouri; four grandchildren, Ashley, Kristen, Whitney and Aaron; nine great grandchildren and one great-great grandson. She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Bill Balentine of the home; two sons, William R. (Rick) Balentine of Owasso, Oklahoma and Joseph N. (Joe) Balentine of the home and one grandchild: Terry Miller of Owasso, Oklahoma.
She will be well remembered for her spirit of compassion, caring and hospitality by all who knew her.

Molly was one I had many opportunities to share as neighbors, home health care, church, school and the boys community play time in Southern Hills, a true friend.
