Traci Lumpkin

Traci Michelle Lumpkin went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on December 18th, 2020. Traci was born in North Little Rock, Ar. on March 27th, 1972 to John and Anita Allison. She attended Park Hill Elementary School and graduated from Northeast High School in 1990. She then attended college at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. After college she moved to Rose Bud, Ar. where she met Pete Pallone. They married in 1996 and had one child, Colton Hayes Pallone. In 2006, now divorced, she moved back to the North Little Rock area and reconnected with her childhood sweetheart Jason Lumpkin. They married in 2007. Traci worked at North Hills Services in Sherwood for 13 years as both a Caseworker and Administrative Assistant where she developed life-long friendships with many of her co-workers. Traci truly enjoyed her job as she was lucky enough to be able to work alongside her sister, mother and aunt. Diagnosed early in life with Type I diabetes she courageously carried on with her life even as she battled daily with complications from diabetes that included debilitating nerve pain, terrible gastric problems, eye problems and a long list of other ailments. However, she was determined not to allow her diabetes to dictate her life. She always put the needs of others before her own even to the detriment of her health. The accomplishment she was the proudest of was her son Colton. Every waking hour of every day since he was born she did everything in her power to make sure he had a happy life. She was a wonderful, caring, selfless mother and step-mother. She helped raise step-children in both of her marriages and was intimately involved in each of their lives, never missing an activity or ball game. Traci loved to travel and it didn't matter where. She appreciated the majesty of the Canadian Rockies and the beauty of the emerald waters of the Caribbean. She was always ready for her next adventure!

Traci was a versatile woman. Although she loved big cities and dining at fancy restaurants, she equally loved riding 4-wheelers, fishing and deer hunting.

She is survived by her parents, John and Anita Allison of Mt. Vernon, Husband William Jason Lumpkin of Sherwood, Son, Colton Pallone of, Sherwood, Step-daughter, Brandi Head(Ryan) of Austin, Step-son Ryan Lumpkin of North Little Rock, Sister Terri Allison-Mathews of Beebe, Brother John Allison III (Janice) of Vilonia, Sisters Sheila Allison of Sherwood, Laura Durle (Anthony) of Pennsylvania, Michelle
