Reta Jean Hoyt

 Sadly, our precious mother, Reta Jean Hoyt, passed away on 3/15/23 at the age of 76 at Cox Hospital in Branson MO.  We feel honored and privileged to have been your children. You have loved us unconditionally and gave us the example of how to be the best parent anyone could wish for. She was the most forgiving kind soul anyone could ever meet. She always found good
in others and never put herself first. The most important thing to her was her family but most importantly life was her kids.  I’m telling you these things because some of you only knew mom through us and didn’t get the chance to meet this amazing person. Those of you who were blessed to have met our mom realize that we will miss her contagious smile and the sparkle of love in
her beautiful eyes.    

She was preceded in death by her parents: Roy and Lillie Kelley, her husband Jack Hoyt, and Siblings; J.A. and Wanetta

She is survived by three children Randy Martin of Harrison AR, Roseann Pratt of Gassville AR, and Cindy Durand of Harrison AR., four grandchildren (Nathan Durand,
Taylor Martin, Tave Martin, and Danielle Martin), and 5 great grandchildren. Siblings; Betty Whiteside, Carol Baughman, Pug Kelley, and Ronnie Kelley.

Private Visitation.  A graveside service will be held on March 20th, 2023, at Mary Mother of God Catholic Church at 10am.  

Missing You Always
You never said I’m leaving; You never said Goodbye, You were gone before we knew it; And only God knows why.
A million times I needed you; A million times I cried, If love alone could have saved, you; You never would have died
In life I loved you dearly; In death I love you still, In my heart I hold a place that only can you fill
It broke my heart to lose you; But you didn’t go alone, As part of me went with you; The day God took you home.

When I lost You
I wish I could see you one more time come walking through the door
But I know that is impossible; I will hear your voice no more
I know you can feel my tears and you don’t want me to cry
Yet my heart is broken because I can’t understand why someone so precious had to die
I pray that God will give me strength and somehow get me through
As I struggle with this heartache that came when I lost you
