Harold McDonald, 88, of England, Arkansas, passed away on July 3, 2020. Burial will be at Mulberry Cemetery.
Harold was born to the late Ben and Virgie McDonald, grew up in Seaton, AR, but lived his entire adult life in England, AR. He never met a stranger and was always willing to introduce himself by telling a story or a good joke. He loved to drink coffee with his friends at the "coffee shop" every morning. Harold was a "Jack of all Trades".
During his lifetime he had many jobs, some of which included being a farmer, insurance agent, bookkeeper, tax preparer, and well driller. He could fix anything and was always willing to drop what he was doing to help others with their problems.
He modeled his favorite Bible verse Ephesians 4:32 which says "Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." He was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church of England where he served as Deacon, and member of the kitchen committee spending countless hours helping cook church meals such as the annual Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
Greers Ferry Lake was one of his favorite places to go with his family where he would joke that he was the Captain of his Boat, and his wife permitted him to say so! He had a huge collection of caps, arrowheads, and old marbles on display in his office that he would gladly show you when you came to visit.
He loved to go fishing and to deer camp with his granddaughters, McKenzie and Shelby, and cheer at England sporting events especially when they were participating. If you looked closely when you passed him on the road, you might see him playing his harmonica or singing along to Gaither gospel music.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Carole Anne McKenzie McDonald; brothers: General, Bill, and Lyndell McDonald; and sisters: Thelma Williams, Dorothy Leonard, and Jean Rakestraw.
Survivors include his daughters, Milicent McDonald and Rosalind Cheek and her husband, Scott; granddaughters who were the apple of his eye, McKenzie and Shelby Cheek; sister, Dee Davis; several nieces and nephews; and many friends. Z5
