It's with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Nae; the heart and soul of Dial and Dudley Funeral Home.

Gina Reynae Dial, 52, of Bryant, Arkansas was born to George Autrey Dudley and Joyce Amanda (Depriest) Dudley, on Wednesday, September 5th, 1973, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Reynae left this world way too soon on Monday, November 10th, 2025, surrounded by those who fought for her life.

Reynae graduated from Gospel Assembly in 1991. While in high school, she entered a competition for cross-stitch and painting, proudly winning first place in both categories. She also traveled with her senior class on a memorable trip that included Canada and several states.

In 2002, Reynae enrolled in the Dallas Institute of Funeral Service in Dallas, Texas, where she met the love of her life, Jim. She excelled in her studies, serving as a class officer and a member of the scholastic fraternity Pi Sigma Eta. Reynae graduated with honors at the top of her class, earning her Associate of Applied Mortuary Science degree. Her and Jim married and they began their shared calling and lifelong ministry of service.

Reynae set out to serve her community with compassion and excellence. Together, she and Jim founded Dial & Dudley Funeral Home, the first funeral home established in Bryant. Since that day, they have faithfully cared for over 5,000 families, walking beside countless hearts through times of loss and healing.

She had a rare and beautiful gift for comforting others, helping people through the hardest days of their lives. She knew how to speak peace into pain and bring comfort to each family she served. She was deeply devoted to her work and took great pride in serving others with dignity, compassion, and grace. Over the years, many families were blessed by her special touch and gentle strength. Reynae truly loved helping people and reminding them how deeply valued they were. Every family she met became part of her extended circle of care, and her kindness left an imprint that will never fade.

Reynae loved her animals, Seymour, Sally Mae, Cali, and Mr. Socks ''fatty''. She also loved fishing with her husband in the tournaments they participated in through Skeeter.

In her younger years, before she had children of her own, Reynae's heart for family shone brightly through the love she had for her nephews and nieces. She adored her nephew Brandon so much that when she started working, he always knew when payday came, he'd say, "Nae, can I have…?" and she'd make sure he got it. When Kristen came along, she did the same for her, always calling them her babies.

Reynae will be remembered for her compassionate heart, her radiant smile, and the way she made everyone feel seen and loved. Her life reflected grace, faith, and service, a light that will continue to shine through all those she touched.

She is joined in eternal rest with her daddy, George Dudley; her beloved cousin, Morgan; many family members and friends; along with every loved one she helped lay to rest.

She is survived by her loving husband of 20 years, Jim Dial; her two beautiful children, Mikayla Dial (Sam Chaplin) and Hunter Dial; her mother, Joyce Dudley; three brothers, Sean Dudley and his wife Lynnett, Tim Dudley and his wife Suson, and Nathan Dudley and his wife Wynnette; nephews Brandon Dudley, Jonathon Dudley, and Matt Dudley; and nieces Kristen Dudley, Annette Carrier (Nathan), and Lauren Brake (Dalton).

Reynae's celebration of life will be held on Saturday, November 15th, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. at Christ Church and her visitation will be held the evening prior from 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. at Dial and Dudley Funeral Home. Reynae will be laid to rest at Mt. Olive Cemetery in Bauxite, Arkansas.
