ELIZABETH ANN FRANKLIN HUTTO

Elizabeth Ann Franklin Hutto of Damascus, Arkansas, passed from her family and 
friends January 5, 2017 from a sudden and terminal illness. Ann was born on 
September 25th 1947, the second child of five children born to Julius and Grace 
Jester Franklin of Curtis, Arkansas, near Gurdon. She is preceded in death by 
both parents, who are interned at the Southfork Cemetery. Ann is survived by 
all her sisters and brothers, Judy Franklin Fendley and her late husband Hugh 
of Arkadelphia; Buddy (Priscilla) Franklin of Las Vegas, Nevada; David (Deana) 
Franklin of Hot Springs; and Jane Franklin (Mike) Register of Monroe, 
Louisiana. She is also survived by her ex-husband Dwight Hutto of Clinton, 
Arkansas and their daughters April Suzanne Hutto (Stan) Carson of Greenbrier, 
and Ginger Renee Hutto (Lonnie) Duncan of Damascus; three grandchildren, Dausen 
Garet Duncan and Mason Brenner Duncan of Damascus, and Isabella Hopkins Carson 
of Greenbrier. Ann leaves many nieces, nephews and many, many good friends and 
relatives too numerous to list.

Ann's father passed away when she was quite young, and times were difficult for 
her mother, Grace, who was raising five children on her own. Ann grew up as a 
country girl. She had pets including a horse named Sugar. She loved 4-H 
activities and fishing in the creeks and ponds around where she grew up. She 
spent a lot of time with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Riley and Ludie Jester 
of Curtis and Maw Franklin of Shiloh. She attended Gurdon Public Schools for 
twelve years and graduated there. She loved basketball and was on the senior 
girls' team her 10-12 grade years. She enrolled in Cosmetology School while in 
high school and became a licensed cosmetologist. After graduation, Ann enrolled 
and completed two years of college at Henderson State University. While 
attending college, she met and later married Dwight Hutto of Clinton, Arkansas. 
From that union, her two daughters were born. During the years that followed, 
Ann was a devoted house wife who worked as a hair stylist, a sales clerk at 
department stores, as a pharmacy assistant and later a hospital aide. She was 
devoted, hardworking and creative, always an excellent employee. She loved 
cooking and everyone always looked forward to her Thanksgiving chicken and 
dressing and homemade chocolate pies which she made from her mom's recipes. Ann 
also loved making all types of holiday home decorations. Her greatest gift 
however was the loving help she so freely gave to her friends and family during 
sickness, where she would give unconditional nurturing until that friend or 
relative was well enough to take care of themselves.

Ann loved going to baseball, softball and basketball games and cheering on her 
grandsons and granddaughter. She enjoyed good humor and loved to joke, giving 
back as good as was given. She was true and gave uncompromising love and 
devotion to her friends and family. She exemplified the meaning of the phrase 
'good mother and grandmother'. She was strong in her will and straight in her 
ways, following good Christian standards and passing those ideals down to her 
children and grandchildren.

She will be very much missed by everyone she touched.



Her graveside service and internment will be held at 2:00P.M., Sunday, January 
8, 2017 at Blackwell Cemetery, Bee Branch, AR, where she wanted to be close to 
her family.

Pallbearers will be Lonnie, Dausen and Mason Duncan, Stan Carson Jr., Dwight 
Hutto and Jeff Matthews.

Honorary Pallbearers will be Matt Moix and Wilber Walters.

In lieu of flowers the family requests contributions to be made to Arkansas 
Hospice-River Valley 220 John Babish Lane, Russellville, AR. 72081.
