This is my beautiful mother who was born and raised in Garland County in the tiny town of Royal, Arkansas. The family moved to Dallas, Texas in 1943 when she was 15 and she found work in Rubenstein's Egg Plant where they made powdered eggs for our boys overseas in the war. She met my father, Billy Jarrett, there and they dated during that winter and married in the spring of 1944. She had two children that did not survive infancy, my brother, Roger Franklin Jarrett who is buried in Cunningham Cemetery in Royal, Arkansas, and a miscarriage who I have always felt was my sister and I named her Mattie Louise, in honor of our two grandmothers. My mother was wise, kind, very perceptive, and saw people for who they were, good or bad. She was an artist who painted with amazing realism and a very talented musician. She was our "quality control" in our furniture repair/refinishing shop and she had an impeccable eye and patience to achieve perfection in anything she did. I never knew anyone whose love was as strong as hers. She loved the Lord Jesus most of all and was the first person to teach me about Him. It is because of her I am a Christian. Thank you, God for the blessing of my wonderful parents.
