May 27, 1944 - December 17, 2023
Henry Rohrscheib, 79, of Lexa passed away on Saturday, December 16, 2023 in Helena, Arkansas. He was born to Eunice and H.W. ''Judge'' Rohrscheib on May 27, 1944 in Helena, Arkansas. Henry was a member of the 1963 Barton High School graduating class where he was a standout athlete on the Barton Bears football team.
Henry was a member of Second Baptist Church in West Helena and was a well known and respected farmer in the community. He was an always humble man that could answer pretty much any question anyone ever had related to farming rice, cotton, corn, or soybeans, that could also deliver cattle in the middle of the night if assistance was needed. There was nothing he couldn't fix or at least make it work long enough to get by.
In 2012, upon the arrival of his grandson, Spencer, he would take on his most cherished role as the mayor of Papaw, Arkansas. Known only as Dadoo, he was responsible for countless trips and memories that we are so thankful for today. In his spare time he enjoyed fishing, going to Razorback games, cooking, wood working in his shop, gardening and studying the bible. He was also notorious for going way too fast on his lawnmower and sometimes required assistance from his loving neighbors when things got out of hand.
Henry is survived by his wife of 57 years, Billie Sue Rohrscheib; his son, Cotton and Donna Rohrscheib and his grandson, Spencer. He is also survived by his siblings, Leonard & Mandy Rohrscheib, Nancy Hill, Cathy & Jerry Pryor, Emma & Jerry James, Pat & Dennis Delk and countless nieces, nephews and cousins whom he loved immensely. Also, very near and dear to his heart was his four legged companion, Barney.
Visitation will be held at Roller Citizens Funeral Home in West Helena, Arkansas on Wednesday, December 20th from 5pm to 7pm. The funeral will be held at 10:00 am on Thursday, December 21st at Second Baptist Church in West Helena, Arkansas. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donations to Ag for Autism.
Pallbearers will be Jay Hollowell, Joey Grubbs, Curtis Rohrscheib, Craig Garrison, Scott Pryor, Terry Grubbs, Reed Rohrscheib and Mark Garrison.
Services will be directed by Roller-Citizens Funeral Home, West Helena, (870)572-2571. Relatives and friends may sign the online guestbook at www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/westhelena
Prayers for you and your family. Henry was a great man, husband, dado, and friend to many. He will be missed.
Did not hear of your great loss until this morning. My heart hurts for you and the entire family. Henry was such a unique and special man.
So sorry to hear this. ?????? for the family.
Now I understand your facebook post with Bo Wilkinson's daughter. At the time I didn't know about Henry's passing. I don't even have words to express how I am feeling. I think of the close bond he had with Spencer and how Spencer will cope with this loss. The Barton-Lexa Community has recently lost two Barton Highschool legions.
May God wrap his arms around with love and comfort!
Mr. Henry was a one of a kind man who Loved his family deeply. I am with you in spirit today, Hoping that you are wrapped in the Peace that passes all understanding.

I have many fond memories of helping mom and dad with the Barton HS reunions. I always loved seeing and visiting with Mr. Henry and Mrs. Billie Sue. People like daddy and Henry are salt of the earth. They are god-fearing, family and community loving, strong men. I’m not sure they grow’em like that anymore, but I’m going to do my best to raise my boys to be fine men like dad and Henry. We love the Rohrscheib family and are praying for you as we all navigate the next year.
