Bobby Ray Emdondson

In loving memory of Bobby Ray Edmondson, a devoted husband, father, brother, and friend, who passed away peacefully on May 12, 2026, at the age of 67. Born on August 7, 1958, in the humble town of Seaton, Arkansas, Bobby was the beloved son of the late J.C. Edmondson and Ida Mae Bizzell Edmondson. His life was a testament to the values of hard work, dedication, and above all, love. Bobby was a man of unwavering principles, known for his enviable work ethic and a deep-seated commitment to his family. His journey began at Union Pacific Railroad, where he worked diligently before dedicating 27 remarkable years to Riceland Foods in Stuttgart. His colleagues remember him as a steadfast and reliable presence, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. Bobby retired in 20xx, leaving behind a legacy of integrity and dedication that continues to inspire those who had the privilege of working alongside him. On October 14, 2000, Bobby married the love of his life, Pauline Edmondson, with whom he shared 25 wonderful years. Together, they built a family defined by warmth, laughter, and unwavering support. Bobby was a guiding light to his children—Montesha, Erica, Priscilla, Bobby, Bradley, and his cherished stepsons, Otis (Rosalyn), Tim (Lisa), and Kimyul. As a father, Bobby set the example of what a loving and supportive parent should be, always putting his family first and nurturing their dreams with patience and encouragement. Bobby is also survived by his devoted sisters Claudia, Mamie, Vergia, and Terri, and his brothers J.C., Samuel, Halbert, and Billy. His family was his pride and joy, and his six grandchildren were the apples of his eye, each holding a special place in his heart. Though Bobby has joined his dear parents and his beloved daughter, Martina "Jr" Edmondson, in eternal rest, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved him. His strength, kindness, and unwavering dedication to his family and community will forever be remembered. A celebration of Bobby’s life will be held on May 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Victor's Empowerment Center, located at 805 N. Grand Ave. in Stuttgart, Arkansas. Family and friends are invited to gather and honor a life well-lived, sharing stories and memories that underscore the profound impact Bobby had on everyone he met.
