April 13, 1937 - December 31, 2023
On Sunday, December 31, 2023, Verdarhea Langrell, a loving mother, grandmother, aunt and beloved member of the Quitman community passed away at age 86 in Conway, Arkansas.
Verdarhea was born in Damascus, Arkansas to Haydon and Hannah Skinner and was the fifth of nine children. She married her husband, Leo, in 1956 and had one son, Kenneth Wayne. She was a longtime member of the Cedar Heights Baptist Church in North Little Rock, Arkansas and the Flat Rock Missionary Church in Quitman, Arkansas.
Verdarhea was a small-town girl that was well traveled. Indeed, her quest to enrich her life led to extensive travels across the United States and abroad. She was a long-time employee of the Timex Corporation retiring as a corporate statistician. She maintained a closeness to GOD and led a quality life filled with love, strength of purpose and compassion. A source of inspiration and a mentor to her family, she blessed the lives of so many people over eight decades.
Verdarhea is preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Leo Langrell; her son, Kenneth Langrell and great grandson, James Hayes Langrell and brothers and sisters, Arvil Skinner, Evangeline Morris, Troy Skinner, Marjorie Spillers and Murlen Skinner.

I had the pleasure and honor of being her pastor for several years at Cedar Heights. Wonderful lady, wife, mother, and friend to hundreds! She has joined the “great cloud of witnesses” spoken of in Hebrews 12:1. God bless all her loved ones.

My prayers to the family. I was one of Kenny’s friends in the sixties when we were at Oak Grove. I spent the night at the Langrell house a few times and went to church with them at Cedar Heights. The Langrells were always so very kind to me. I am sure she will be missed. So sorry for your loss.
