As a child she lived in Gourdneck on Grandpa’s (Green) Mountain outside of Magnet Cove, AR. As a teenager the family relocated to Little Rock where she attended Central High School. After high school she worked at Timex until 1974. She moved to San Diego, CA with her husband where they raised their two daughters. Second to caring for her family she loved tending to her rose garden. In 1986 they returned home to Arkansas to be with and care for their family members. Which she did with remarkable grace, joy and love. She was a true caregiver at heart.
Along with the love she had for her family she had a great fondness for roses, panda bears, puzzles and Elvis gospel music. She was our rock, guiding force, the center of our world and the greatest Blessing of our lives.
She is preceded in death by her devoted husband John Arthur Sparks, two sisters Marion Allbritton and Baby girl “Lil Sis” Allbritton, three brothers Junior Allbritton, Fred Allbritton and Edward Allbritton.
She is survived by one sister, Marjorie Allbritton Hammond of Beebe, AR; two stepsons, Johnny Sparks of AR and children (Paul Sparks and Phillip Sparks), Jerry Sparks of TX and children (Matthew Sparks, Nathan Sparks and Daniel Sparks); two daughters, Kimberly Miller and Karla Cochran of Benton, AR; four grandchildren Peggy Mae Cochran (Michael Simpson), Morgan Cochran (Gary Phillips, Jr.), Jessica Miller (Matt LaFlamme), John Miller (Sydney Cyr) of Benton, AR; and two great grandchildren Ashlyn Grace Rose Parrish and Isabella Lily Marie Cochran.
