Cindy L Hassell Somervell , February 17, 1949 — February 14, 2019

Cindy Hassell Somervell of NLR, Ar, 69, was called home to her heavenly Father on February 14th, 2019 at her home. Cindy was born on February 17, 1949 in Jacksonville Arkansas, but was raised in Mabelvale, Arkansas by her loving parents, the late Daniel Dayne Hassell, Sr and Margaret Katherine Morrell Hassell. Cindy was proud to be a Master Gardener and a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, of which she served as chapter president 2004-2006.

She was most happy digging in the dirt, planting flowers, or being on any body of water fishing. She firmly believed that the worst day of fishing was better than the best day at work. She also loved the dusk of a summer night and hearing the cicadas singing, traveling to old cemeteries, the smell of freshly cut grass, and metal detecting for Civil War relics.

Some her favorite memories as a child were talking to her pet chickens, Lousy and Gousy, waiting at the end of the road for her daddy to come home from work, and lying in a field of tall grasses by the old house in the sunshine. Cindy is preceded in death by her parents; brother, Lanny Wayne Hassell; and nephew, Lyle Hassell. She is survived by her husband of 29 years, Frank Byars Somervell of North Little Rock; brother, Dr. Dayne Hassell, Jr of Shreveport, Louisiana; son, Nathan Smith of North Little Rock; daughter, Nichole Smith Collins of North Little Rock; son-in-law, Ryan Collins of North Little Rock; granddaughter, Cameron Collins of North Little Rock; grandson, Caden Collins of North Little Rock; nephew, Dr. Daniel Hassell of Greensboro, North Carolina; nephew, Jess Hassell of Houston Texas; nephew, Luke Hassell of Dripping Springs Texas; niece, Dayna Hassell Farquhar of California; and many cousins.

She will be greatly missed and leaves behind many cherished memories. There are some things I may not know, there are some places I can’t go, but I am sure of this one thing, my God is real for I can feel Him in my soul. The family would like to give thanks to Baptist Hospice for assisting in caring for her the last few months.

Visitation will be from 10:00-11:00 am on Monday, February 18th at Smith Funeral Home, with a celebration of her life to immediately follow. Online guest register at www. SmithFamilyCares.com.
