LEPANTO - Hervey Lee Wallace Howington passed away peacefully at Three Rivers Nursing Home on Feb. 14 at the age of 84. Hervey lived a long and fruitful life.

The oldest child of Mary Ona Oliver Wallace and Oliver C. Wallace, Hervey was born in Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis,Tenn., her family moved to Malden, Mo., where her father had a five and dime store. The family moved back to Lepanto, Ark., where she has lived since, at the beginning of the Depression when Hervey was five years old.

She leaves her loving husband of 65 years, Mack Lee Howington; a brother, Dr. Oliver Wallace of Green Forest, Ark.; three sons, Lee Howington of Phoenix, Ariz., Edward Howington of Little Rock, Ark., and Harvey Howington of Lepanto; three grandchildren, Wallace Claire Howington of New Iberia, La., Robert Andrew Howington of San Antonio, Texas and Devin Elaine Howington of Little Rock.

She graduated from Lepanto High School and attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority.

During the war, her parents put her on a train bound for Raleigh, N.C., where she married her fiancé, Mack, who was stationed there studying engineering for the war effort. The war ended and the couple returned to Lepanto, where they lived with Hervey’s parents while they built the home in which Hervey would live the rest of her life.

Hervey taught school briefly at Lepanto, made a home for her family, and kept books for the family enterprises. She was active in community service, including the Methodist Church where she taught Sunday School, the Women’s Society of Christian Service, the Parent Teacher’s Association, the Lepanto Art Club and the Audubon Society.

For many years, she served on the Board of Directors of Crittenden Memorial Hospital, serving as its Chairman before she retired.

She had an artful eye, a creative spirit, and a wry sense of humor. She was a loving wife and mother, wonderful cook, loyal friend, and lively storyteller. She could handle any situation with aplomb, be it a snake in the house or her son’s head wound in a foreign country.

An intrepid traveler, Hervey began in 1964 to take her sons on extended camping trips. After an initial test run at the state park in Walcott, the first trip was a three week trip to the American West. On this trip they narrowly escaped a flash flood in Colorado Springs where they camped to see Pike’s Peak. They then trekked on to the Garden of the Gods, Yellowstone National Park, and the Badlands of the Dakotas. Other trips followed to Big Bend National Park, the New England states, the GreatSmokey Mountains, Florida, Canada, and the Grand Canyon. She liked to comment that her son Ed had cut himself in every state of the union.

She remembered sail fishing with friends off the coast of Mexico at Acapulco, and hermany trips with friends and family to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, Banff, Colorado, and Alaska. She and her husband twice took motoring trips through Great Britain and joined Mack’s brother Harvey and his wife Pat on a tour of Italy.

The family thanks the many caregivers and friends that have helped during Hervey’s last months and years.

Visitation will be Wednesday from 6 until 8 p.m. at Murphy Funeral Home Chapel. Services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at the United Methodist Church with Janice Williams officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Lepanto United Methodist Church, Crittenden Memorial Hospital or their favorite charity. Murphy Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
