Patricia Hemphill

Patricia Wynn (Weir) Hemphill, 63, of Benton, Arkansas passed away on November 7, 2021. She was born March 13, 1958 in Lake Charles, Louisiana to Patrick and Lalah (Stidger) Weir.

Patricia attended Istrouma High School in Baton Rouge and later became a dental assistant. She spent over forty years in the dental field and took great pride in her skill. Her coworkers and patients loved her and the joy she brought to the office.

Patricia loved her family more than anything and always put them first. She enjoyed hosting family get togethers at her home most weekends, which jokingly became known as the "Hemphill Hotel". Summers were spent having cookouts by the pool where she was usually trying to challenge the kids and grandkids to a game of Marco Polo. She was always singing and dancing; radiating joy wherever she went. She was a people person and everyone who met Patricia loved her.

Preceding Patricia in death are her father, Patrick Weir; and brother, Mark Weir.

Patricia leaves behind to cherish her memory her loving husband of thirty-seven years, Martin "Mike" Hemphill; three sons: Noah Temple, Waylon Temple, and Justin Hemphill (Kathleen); two daughters: Emily Hemphill (Patrick) and Katie Hemphill (Jordan); grandchildren: Myriah, Savannah, Logan, Jaylea, Leah, Cameron, Connor, Brody, Lydia, and Ronin; great grandson, Josiah; brother, Donald Weir (Madelyn); sister-in-law, Darlene Weir; and many family members and friends who love Patricia and will miss her dearly.
