Mona Frances Bratton

Mona Frances Bratton of Jonesboro gained victory on Dec. 16, 2020, as she reached out and took the hand of Jesus in the quest for wholeness. This gentle, loving, caring and wonderful woman has left a permanent mark on our hearts and she will be supremely missed. She had the most beautiful smile that could light up your soul. She loved quilting, ceramics, singing and had a compassion for dogs and cats. She was a member of Finch Baptist Church but most recently attended Nettleton Baptist Church until her health failed.

Born April 4, 1933, in Bear Creek, to Myrt and Sally Bohannon, she was the youngest of 10 children.

She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Billy M. Bratton; daughter, Phyllis Easley Schantz; brothers, Vernon, Willie, Howard and Joe; sisters, Modene, Berlene and Vaudie; son-in-law, Randy M. Toombs; and the father of her children, Duane Easley.

Survivors include her daughters, Ann Toombs and Sheree Easley of Jonesboro; stepson, Billy Lynn (Debbie) Bratton of Rimrock, Ariz.; stepdaughters, Kay Lentz of Branson, Mo., and Sandi Flora of Blytheville; her treasured grandchildren, C.W. (Katie) Toombs of Jonesboro, Cari (Jason) Warfe, Molly Schantz of Oklahoma City, Okla., Emily (Dave) Boclair of Silver Spring, Md., and Hope Bratton (Kevin Chessman) of Phoenix, Ariz.; great-grandkids, Avery Toombs, Jacie, Carlie and Ava Warfe and Reilly Chessman; and her sisters, Maye (Homer) Webb of Burdette and Hazel Taylor of Marshall.
