Beverly Jeannette Freeman

Beverly Jeannette Freeman went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on August 7, 2026 surrounded by her family. She was born on December 13, 1952, in Searcy, Arkansas, to Audie and Viola Pennington. Known for her unwavering faith, gentle spirit, and unconditional love, Jeannette’s greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother. Her life was a beautiful example of selfless love, quiet strength, and steadfast faith in Christ. Jeannette was the devoted wife of Robert Freeman for 57 wonderful years. As a stay-at-home wife and mother, she dedicated her life to caring for her home and the people she loved, always putting her family first. She found joy in the simple blessings of life and made every person who entered her home feel welcomed and loved. One of her greatest joys was fishing. Knowing how much she loved it, Robert built a pond for her and their family so she could fish whenever she wanted. She also had a passion for sewing and crocheting and looked forward to gathering with her sewing group whenever she was able. No visit to her home was complete without Jeannette proudly showing off her newest project. Nothing brought her greater happiness than spending precious time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She never met a stranger without finding an opportunity to proudly share pictures of the family she cherished. Her warm smile, gentle heart, and compassionate spirit touched everyone who knew her. Above all else, Jeannette loved Jesus with all her heart. Her faith was the foundation of her life and guided the way she loved, served, and cared for others. She lived out her faith through kindness, compassion, generosity, and quiet acts of service. If you needed prayers, she was your prayer warrior. Her granddaughter, Brittany, beautifully described her by saying: “She loved on a level that most people don’t even understand. The most selfless person you could’ve known. She loved her family with everything she had and would do absolutely anything for us. She wasn’t the kind of person who would just tell you she was praying for you; she would stay up all night doing it.” Because of her faith in Jesus Christ, we have the blessed assurance that this is not goodbye, but until we meet again. Jeannette is survived by her loving husband Robert Freeman; her son, Bobby Freeman; her daughters, Melinda Horton, Pam Wallace (Rusty),and Tammie Hiser (Charles); her grandchildren, Jeremy Freeman, Cody Hiser (Myra), Brittany Brown (Brandon), and Devin Wallace; her great-grandchildren, Lynlie, Amelia, Mateo, Lily, and Samuel; her brothers, sisters, and many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Audie and Viola Pennington; her brothers, Randy Pennington and Tom Pennington; her grandson, Micheal Coates; her granddaughter, Michelle Coates; and her great-grandson, Bo Hiser. Those honored to serve as pallbearers are Andrew Bogan, Dusty Blevins, Jordan Pate, Jeremy Hargis, Ricky Thomas, and Easton Rice. Honorary pallbearers Randy Brackenridge and Brian Brackenridge. She showed us what unconditional love looked like. She taught us that serving others wasn’t a burden, but a blessing. She loved with her whole heart, gave without expecting anything in return, and made everyone around her feel important. Funeral services will be held at Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church on Monday, August 10, 2026 with visitation beginning at 9:00 a.m. followed by the funeral service at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Mount Pisgah Cemetery in Letona.
