Opal "Maxine" Moppin

Opal “Maxine” Moppin, age 86, passed away on Wednesday, January 20, 2021.

She was born on January 31, 1934, in Hot Springs, the daughter of William “Mac” McKinley Naven and Esther Rassberry Naven. On April 10, 1950, she married E.B. “Bud” Moppin, who preceded her in death in 2007. She is also preceded in death by her parents; a daughter, Billie Alene Ennis; a granddaughter, Lajuana “Cookie” Collum; three brothers, John “Pat” Naven, William “Butch” Naven and Fred Naven.

Maxine was a Christian in her faith and a Missionary Baptist. Mom cared for her family and her church and they meant everything to her. When we told her “we loved her” she always responded with “I love you more”. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her and loved her.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Esther and Ronnie Collum of Hot Springs; four granddaughters, Crystal Davis, Sarah Savelli, Melissa McClun and Martha Clark; eight great-grandchildren; two great-great-children; her brother and sister-in-law, James and Jerry Naven of Florida; two sisters and brother-in-law, Terry Brock and Mary Jane and Ronnie Weatherford all of Hot Springs; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and a host of wonderful friends.
