Charline Huffaker
January 22, 1941 – August 21, 2026
Charline Huffaker, 85, of Lincoln, Arkansas, passed away peacefully at her home on August 21, 2026, surrounded by the family who loved her most. She was born in Moore, Oklahoma, to Charles and Lorene Carver.
Charline was a true spitfire with a big heart and an even bigger love for her family. She shared 48 wonderful years of marriage with her husband, Joe Huffaker, who spoiled her rotten. Together, they owned and operated Huff’s Video, where Charline loved talking to everyone who walked through the door. Many of those customers became friends, and to countless people, Charline became their “grandma.”
She loved her family fiercely and would do anything to protect them. She treasured her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, saving every picture, drawing, and piece of “chicken scratch” they ever gave her. She was a proud Arkansas Razorbacks fan, loved Lake Tenkiller, and had a love for dogs that often surpassed her love for humans. Her beloved dogs Sammy, KB, and Jax held a special place in her heart. Jax remained by her side until the very end and continues to sit beside her bed.
Charline is survived by her husband, Joe Huffaker; her children, Carri Huffaker, Kim Leming and her husband, Willie, Jodi Huffaker, and Joy Huffaker; her grandchildren, Cody Shephard, Laci Spears and her husband, Ryan, and Madison Rothrock; her great-grandchildren, Presleigh Spears, AC Spears, Hayden Shephard, and Callum Rothrock; and numerous extended family members and friends who loved her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her son, Jerry Hill; her sister, Vicki Gleason; her brothers, Don Carver and Larry Carver; her mother, Lorene Carver; her father, Charles Carver and his wife, Edna; and her stepfather, Lonnie Fowler.
Charline will be remembered for her fierce love, big personality, stubborn streak, humor, and the way she made everyone feel like family. She was Mom, Meme, Grandma—and to many who knew her through Huff’s Video, simply “their grandma.”
Rest easy, Meme. You were loved fiercely, and you will be missed even more fiercely.
