Homer Mack Price
Homer Mack Price, 74, of Paragould, passed away in the early morning hours of March 28, 2008, at Arkansas Methodist Medical Center. He was surrounded by his family.
Homer was born Sept. 6, 1933, in Jonesboro, to Fred and Daisy Lee Price. He had a membership at Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
He was preceded in death by his parents; five older brothers, Darrell, Harold, Leroy, Carrol and Cleo; and by a great-grandson, Charles William Watkins.
Homer wore many hats in his lifetime, including service station attendant and truck driver. He worked at Trice’s Furniture for 20 years, and retired as Fire Captain from the Paragould Fire Department in the early ‘80s. He went on to work for Paragould City Light and Water until early retirement. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, yard work and mornings at Terry’s Café. But of all of the hats that he has worn, none fit him as well as “husband”, “daddy” and “papa”.
Homer is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Dorothy; two sons, Russell Mack Price and Gary Dale Price; and daughter, Teresa Nan Speaks, all of Jonesboro. He is also survived by two sisters, Mable Reeks and Martha Anderson, both of Paragould; seven grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.

The family would like to offer special thanks to extended family members and friends that have been so supportive during this time.
