*Obituary
Ava (Woodall) Harding, 84, of Conway, AR, went to be with the Lord Tuesday, July 16, 2019. She was born March 25, 1935, in Waltreak, AR to the late Noma and Anna (Coppak) Woodall. Ava was also preceded in death by her sister, Dortha Todd; and her brother, J.M. Woodall.
Ava retired from the Arkansas Highway Department. Ava was a faithful member of The Rock Solid Church in Conway. She devoted her life to the Lord and her family. She was an excellent seamstress and was known as a bit of a perfectionist when it came to making custom garments for her family and clients. Her hobbies included baking, gardening, traveling, hunting and fishing. Her husband described her as his best friend and, “the best thing that ever happened to him”. Ava was loved very much by her friends and family, who will dearly miss her great sense of humor.
Left to cherish her memory is her loving family; her husband of 64 years, David “Dave” Harding of Conway; daughters, Donna Williams (Robert) of Florida and Susan Spielman (Ronald) of Wyoming; grandchildren, Thomas Williams (Denna), Steven Williams (Kristen), Nicholas Williams (Crystal Russo), Brady Spielman (Ashley) and Jessi Szott (Trevor); great-grandchildren, Savanna, Gavin, Noah, Ava, Erianne, Shaylee, Brooklyn and Wilken; and a host of nieces and nephews.
