Carol D. Shelnutt, 78, of Benton, Arkansas went to meet our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday, March 24th, 2024. She was born on Monday, August 20th, 1945, in Texarkana, Texas to Edward John (Eddie) Hass and Margaret Marie Haley-Hass.

Carol was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and follower of Christ. Her faith was unwavering. She never missed an opportunity to share her faith and her extensive knowledge of God's word. Carol was an endless fountain of knowledge; she could solve any Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune puzzle before the timer even started. She would tell endless stories about the love of her life Gary, her childhood, her family and any other subject that you could possibly imagine. She had a great love of flowers especially red roses, red birds, her childhood pet kitty Boots, horses, chocolate, and anything that sparkled. She had a dream of dancing and is fulfilling that dream now with her favorite people in Heaven.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Gary Shelnutt; her parents; and one unborn child James; grandparents, Effie Lavada Miller-Haley, Martin Duane Haley, Vada Texana Campbell-Hass, and William Haywood Hass.

Left to cherish her love and memory are her children, George Shelnutt and Doyle E Shelnutt, their spouses; grandchildren, Doyle H. Shelnutt, Krista Franklin, Haley Shelnutt-Holland (Darion), George Shelnutt Jr; brother-in-law, Finis D. Shelnutt; and many other in-laws, cousins and friends.

Her celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, March 27th, 2024, at 6:00 P.M. at Temple Missionary Baptist Church: 3215 Coats Rd, Benton, AR 72015.

Church service starts at 4:00 P.M. prior to the celebration for anyone who would like to attend.
