Judith Sparks Blenden

Judith Ann Sparks Blenden transitioned to her heavenly home on March 24, 2023. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. Albert Reuel and Ruth Jane Sparks. She is survived by her four children, Debbie Cothran (Greg) of Sherwood, Pam Gunter (Craig) of Little Rock, Sandra Blenden of Sherwood, and Chris Blenden of Atlanta, Georgia; and her siblings, Carolyn Simpson (Carl) of Stuttgart, Jan Bryant of Florida, and Timothy Sparks of Tennessee. She was also blessed by a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
