Beverly Burroughs Huddleston
1941 - 2007

Beverly Burroughs Huddleston, born December 26, 1941 in Fordyce, AR, longtime resident of New Orleans, LA, and a recent resident of Harrison, AR, passed away at The Gardens at Osage Terrace in Bentonville, on December 30, 2007 at 2:45 p.m.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Paige and Darren "Shaggy" Francis of Rogers; grandchild, Fox Hollis Francis of Rogers; sister and brother-in-law, Betsy and Jay Penix of Springdale; nephews Judd Penix of Springdale, Lee Penix of Fayetteville, and Ben Penix and his wife Leslie of Fayetteville; former husband and friend, Roger Lee Harrison of Rogers.

Beverly was a maid to the Queen of the Cotton in Memphis, TN, in 1959, and was a member of the 1963 Senior Class of Hendrix College (last semester, honor roll and Dean’s List). She was the lead majorette for the 1960 Hendrix band, the last year that the school played football.

Beverly’s charm, joy, wit, infectious laughter, and effervescent personality endeared her to many, many people, young and old, wherever she lived. She was an accomplished social worker, dancer, and tennis-player. She adored and doted upon her daughter, sister, and nephews and will be eternally missed by those whose lives she touched.

Beverly was preceded in death by her husband, Lea Huddleston of Harrison, AR; infant son, John Stephen Harrison of Fordyce, AR; and her parents, Hollis and Lucile Burroughs of Fordyce, AR.
