Obituary
Roy Lee English
Age 93, a resident of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, passed away Monday, April 7, 2025 in Rogers, Arkansas. He was born September 13, 1931 in Ozark, Arkansas, the son of George Roy and Jetta Maye (Whitson) English.
Roy was a proud graduate of Ozark High School in 1950.
A proud veteran, Roy served in the United States Air Force. His service reflected his deep sense of duty and commitment to his country.
Roy found great joy in the natural world, especially in the mountains of Colorado where he spent time camping and fishing for trout. He also enjoyed bird hunting and cherished the peacefulness of the outdoors.
One of Roy’s proudest accomplishments was building his home on the farm—a place he envisioned as a haven for his children to grow up. The farm was more than land; it was a reflection of his values and love for family, faith, and hard work.
Roy held dear his love for the Lord, his family, friends, and the land he called home. His life was rooted in these enduring connections that brought him purpose and fulfillment.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Nancy Carolyn Skelton English, two sisters Billy Catherine Adams and her husband Grover, Tommie Annette Grigson and her husband Brosie, and one brother Paul Phillip English.
Survivors include his son John R. English and his wife Elizabeth of Olathe, Kansas; his daughter Nancy K. Hughes and her husband Ray of Little Flock, Arkansas; three grandchildren Karen Anaya and her husband Buzzy, Sara Crismon and her husband Kelley, and Grace Cameron and her husband Matthew; and five great grandchildren.
Memorial service will be held 10:00 AM Monday, April 14th, 2025, at Main Street Baptist Church in Farmington, Arkansas. Burial was in the Rutherford Cemetery in Prairie Grove, Arkansas.
In lieu of flowers family ask you make a donation to the charity or ministry of your choice.

Attended Church with Roy and Carolyn for quite a number of years. They were truly two of the most caring individuals we have known. May God send comfort for the family.

I grew up knowing Roy and his sweet wife, Carolyn as they lived across from my grandparents in Hogeye. He was as good as they come and always so unbelievably kind. He will be missed and Hogeye isn’t the same without him. Big hugs and prayers for the family and friends.
