Mary Lynn Wilkins

Age 88, a resident of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, was promoted to Glory on Thursday, August 28, 2025 at Prairie Grove Health & Rehab in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. She was born February 10, 1937 in Newport, Arkansas, the daughter of Walter and Sarah (Carey) James.

Mary was saved at the age of 13, and like so many of her family was called to serve the Lord. For over forty years she helped at the Salvation Army where she taught Sunday School classes and cooked for the homeless, veterans and children. She spent almost every summer teaching girls church camp and helped lead many people to Jesus.

Mary's life was not easy as she was preceded in death by two sons Jeff and Steve Davis, four brothers Rev. Marvin, Charles, Walter, Gephart, six sisters Alice, Dorothy Jewell, Lacy, Imogene, Ora Bell, and Janice.

Survivors include Terry Davis and his wife Tamyra of Cave Springs, Arkansas, Phil Davis and his wife Cheri of Prairie Grove, Arkansas; one brother David James of Newport, Arkansas; eleven grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren; and numerous beloved nieces and nephews.

The family will have a Celebration of Life on Saturday, September 6, 2025 - 11:00 A.M. at the Salvation Army Church 219 West 15th Street in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Burial was in the West Fork Cemetery in West Fork, Arkansas.
