It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Kathie Youvonne Willoughby, who peacefully departed on July 5, 2025, at the age of 76.
She was born on September 11, 1949, in Paris, Arkansas. She was a devoted and loving mother of two children: Kelley Manning and Tracy Campbell. She was the heart and soul of our family, a woman who filled our lives with laughter, love, and endless stories. She enjoyed cooking for her family, hunting and fishing, going to flea markets and antique shops, family get togethers, phone calls with friends, western movies, and being in the country. Above all, Kathie cherished her family and always wanted to be present for everything. We will forever be grateful for the love she showered upon us, and we will miss her terribly.
She is survived by her children and her five grandchildren: Savannah Saunders, Reese Saunders, Greyson Manning, Jesse Williams, and Stephanie Carmona; three great-grandchildren, Brayden Williams, Braxton Williams, and Hudson Williams; and her sisters Johnnie Ruth Evans and Jeannette Limbocker, and her brother David Riggins.
Family will receive friends on Friday, July 11, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Martin Funeral & Cremation Chapel in Mansfield, Arkansas. A celebration of Kathie's life will be held on Saturday July 12, 2025, at 2 p.m. at the Martin Funeral & Cremation Chapel.
Arrangements are under the direction of Martin Funeral & Cremation - Mansfield.
