In Loving Memory of Jerry Lynn Newton
December 26, 1943 - January 2, 2026

From the lakes of Bella Vista to the waters beyond

Jerry Lynn Newton, a devoted fisherman and beloved soul from Bella Vista, Arkansas, cast his final line on January 2, 2025, leaving behind ripples of love, and stories that will echo across generations. He was a man who found peace in the early morning quiet of a still lake, the warmth of the sun reflecting off the surface of the lake, joy in the tug of a fish on the line, and exasperation only when his phone took an unexpected dive in the water.

Many didn’t know Jerry was not only a creative story teller, he also sketched using different mediums. Even his imagination could not conjure the scene, as he is welcomed by those who went before him. Most recently, his wife of 53 yeas, Brenda—his parents, LeRoy and Henrietta; and his brothers Clyde, Lyle, Bernie, and John all waiting with easy smiles, open arms and tackle in hand. His stepson Rob and great-granddaughter Sophia are there too, waiting for their moment along with Jack and Lenora Zeigler, his in-laws, whom he loved dearly.

Jerry’s journey isn’t over. He’s preparing the perfect place, opening a clearing near the lake , getting things just right for his children Robin, Jeremy, and Benjamin, sister, June, brother Bob and the nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren and ocean of nieces and nephews, who carry his spirit forward.

He was the best demonstration of the value of hard-work, steady with purpose, an enduring spirit, brightened by a dry wit that made every outing memorable—especially when it involved untangling lines or telling stories no one could quite verify.

Fishing wasn’t just Jerry’s pastime—it was his sanctuary. He understood the quiet rhythm of nature, the thrill of the catch, and the magic of the still moments on the water. Though he’s no longer with us in body, we imagine him now on the water of a perfect lake, rod in hand, the breeze just right, the rhythmic tap of the water against the side of the boat - phone, safe and secure and a boisterous laugh, that makes us smile; see you soon!

Pamela was known for her vibrant and strong spirit. Though petite in stature, she possessed a presence that filled every room she entered. Her family often marveled at how someone so small could command such attention. She was a cornerstone of her family, the one who built the memories that continue to live on in the hearts of those closest to her.

Her children remember her not only as a loving mother but also as a force to be reckoned with, especially when armed with a long hockey stick. With equal parts humor and discipline, Pamela kept close watch over Brenna and Brandon and their many friends. Her home was a place of laughter, guidance, and unforgettable moments.

Pamela found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved gardening, spending hours tending to her plants or simply “piddling around” as she liked to say. These quiet moments were where she found peace and expressed her creativity.

Her legacy is one of strength, love, and dedication to those she held dear. Pamela’s influence will continue to echo through the lives she touched and the memories she helped create.

May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her. A Visitation will be held on January 9, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. The funeral service will be held on January 10, 2026, at 11:00. Both being held at Mercy and Grace Cathedral 5185 Apple Rd, Springdale, AR 72762.
