Awww, everyone who lived in Miss Mattie's subdivision who'd have been there 5 or more years knew who she was. She was the absolute first person to move into the subdivision and, of course, knew all of us. She was always smiling and had a kind word to say to all. She helped wherever she could - even when I accidentally locked myself out of our home on a chilly day with no cell phone! At that time, few folks were at home during the day, but I had good hopes she'd be there. Got to visit with her sweet bird. Us long-timers in the subdivision have missed her since she went into a good home, and will continue to remember her in death. Rest In Peace, Miss Mattie! -- Susan & Michael Corum

She is resting in the arms of Jesus now, for thirty so years I had the honor of being her hairdresser, she was a beautiful person inside and out, we had so much fun and we talked and we prayed together, there was so many things though the years I would love to share , but now to her family, which she loved so much , I send my prayers and love

MLH was always a sweet Grammaw to me.  We both enjoyed being rascals and I loved when she shared her low-key-wicked, sharp, hilarious sense of humor with me.  She also communicated how much she loved me with words, hugs, and candy.   I am sad she is gone but I am confident she is with the God she loved and her family that she missed.  I miss her but I am glad she is at peace. 

Met Mattie at Matt Dunn’s wedding and we hold on to that JOYFUL time and look forward to sharing at the Table of the Wedding Feast with Jesus and Mattie!  The Peace of Christ be with all her family!  

Mrs. Hughes Daughter, Nancy, and I were best friends in jr. high and high school.  We played in the band together and we both had cool Moms that we didn't mind going on our band trips with us.  Mrs. Hughes was a loving, sweet, and kind lady who loved everyone.  She was so blessed to have lived so long, because she was a child of God!  I know her family will miss her so much, just as I do my Mom;  but it will be such a delight in seeing them once again when we join them in Heaven!  My love to the Family and especially to my Best Friend, Nancy!

I remember sitting around the ping-pong table that had a white sheet over it as a tablecloth so all of us could fit around it. It was when we stayed with Aunt Mattie and the rest of you when we were moving to New Mexico.   She will be loved and missed. I love y’all. Thinking of you. 

Will be missed by her former neighbors/friend in Tipton Station Subdivision. One of the sweetest ladies  ever.  We enjoyed all of the times we spent together. You  are in our prayers and thoughts. Sandy and Rick Smith

She shared often of her life in our Sunday School at Stock Creek.  We appreciated the wit, faith, and courage that she lived throughout the difficulties of a widow raising 5 children during WW2.  Wow!  She was always encouraging everyone and always with a smile on her face.  She was a dear, sweet lady.


Mattie was a member of our Sunday School Class and such a sweet lady. She enjoyed my apple butter and always returned the jars with some candy in them! Heaven has gained an angel


Fred and I are saddened by the news of Ms. Mattie’s passing.  She loved her family, her church, and her many friends.  Our thoughts and prayers are with her  family during this difficult time.  For several years, I was a member and co-teacher in Mattie’s Sunday School class.  She loved to hear those Bible stories and how they applied to our lives.  She loved Jesus our Savior.  When we visited her home, she was very welcoming and warm hearted.  She enjoyed her cat and told us stories.  Once when Fred and I were traveling by car through Arkansas, we stopped at a gas station where I purchased a small souvenir, a key ring with a Razorback on it.  When I got home, I realized that I didn’t need it and wondered who I might give it to.  Shortly after, I was talking to Mattie and found out that she was a big fan.  I was delighted to give it to her and she was thrilled.  Mattie was a precious soul.  We will miss her.

Raised her family in the midst of great obstacles by hard work and faith in God.
She was also a master at plotting a driving destination using only right hand turns. Truly a gift🤔.

Mattie was my friend and absolutely the best neighbor ever. She had a giving and servant heart toward everyone. My heart breaks for all who will miss her as the Lord knows I sure will.  God bless you Mattie and family.
