Rogers, Arkansas
Berley William 'Bill' Mark, 76, of Rogers Ark. passed away Saturday,

After attending Coffeeville Community College, he went to work for
Funk Manufacturing in Coffeeville, KS where he worked his way up to
Mechanical Engineer. He worked for Rockwell for a few years, but the
majority of his career was with Emerson Electric.

His sense of humor was one of a kind; simple, sarcastic and country.
Reminiscent of Will Rogers; a man of few words and quick with a one
liner, he loved to make others smile.

He will be remembered mostly for his love of family. His wife, children
and grandchildren were his focus in life. And if you were close to anyone
in his family then you were family too.

He is preceded in death by his parents and his wife.

Bill is survived by a son, Mike Mark; two daughters, Lisa Cops
(husband, Terry) and Lori Mark; five grandchildren; one great
grandchild; two nieces and two nephews.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of

Patty Sue Cason Holland

Bella Vista, Arkansas

After a courageous battle with cancer, Patty Sue Cason Holland, of Bella
Vista, Ark. passed away on March 5, 2016, with her husband by her side.

She was born on February 7, 1949, to Wylma May Cason and Carl D.
Cason. Patty grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, graduating from Rogers High
School in 1967 where she met Mike, the love of her life. They married soon
after graduation and had two children, Shelli and Jeff. Patty was very
involved in the lives of her young family as a homeroom mother, Bluebird
leader and soccer coach.

As her children grew older, Patty went to work outside the home eventually
settling at State Farm Insurance where she had a successful career in medical
claims and then entered the company’s agency program. In 1998, she and
Mike left Tulsa to begin a new chapter in their lives in Marietta, Oklahoma,
where together they built a successful State Farm Insurance agency,
developing many friendships in the Marietta and Falconhead communities.

A lifelong creator, Patty was known by her family, friends and co-workers
for her sewing, cooking, cross-stitch and crafting skills. Those close to her
were the lucky recipients of gifts she generously made from the heart. She
worked alongside Mike as they tackled endless home improvement projects
including gardens, decks, refurbishing a cabin at Lake Tenkiller, and
completely remodeling their business office in Marietta and home in
Falconhead. Patty retired from State Farm Insurance in 2014 before moving
with Mike to Bella Vista, Arkansas, in August of 2015.

Friends and loved ones will remember Patty’s beautiful smile, dry sense of
humor and giving spirit. She was a dedicated mother, always there to
dispense sage advice or lend a hand whenever it was needed. Her devotion
to Mike as a wife and friend was the definition of true love and marriage.

Patty was preceded in death by her mother, Wylma Cason, and father, Carl
D. Cason. She is survived by her husband Mike Holland of Bella Vista,
Arkansas; daughter, Shelli Holland-Handy and son-in-law, Bill Handy of
Tulsa, Oklahoma; son, Jeff Holland of Vian, Oklahoma; brother, Gene

Andrew Jackson Lee, III
April 8, 1948 - September 5, 2016
New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Andrew Jackson Lee, III, 68, of New Smyrna Beach, FL, died Monday,
September 5, 2016 while visiting his family in Bentonville, AR.

He was born in Harrisburg, PA on April 8, 1948, and was raised in Bentonville,
AR. Andy graduated from Bentonville High School, and received an Associate’s
Degree in Police Science from Indiana Hills Community College. Between high
school and college, Andy served as an officer for the Motor Unit at Metropolitan
Police Department in Washington, DC for ten years. It was during this time that
he pulled over a young woman, Holly Roehrig, for an illegal U-turn. She stole his
heart, and the rest is history. They were married on May 26, 1973 in Washington,
DC.

Andy and his family later moved to Bentonville, AR, where he got involved in
local politics, serving first as a Bentonville City Council member, and then as the
executive director of the Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce. In 1988
he was elected Sheriff of Benton County, and served successfully in that capacity
for 14 years. His tenure included the construction of the current state-of-the-art
Benton County Jail in Bentonville, AR where he posted his own version of the
Ten Commandments, and did not allow television, tobacco or hot meals. After
retiring from law enforcement, Andy worked as a licensed realtor and builder.

Andy and Holly moved to New Smyrna Beach in 2007. Andy was an
accomplished builder, and spent much of his retirement years remodeling homes,
including his current house, where family and friends were frequent visitors and
always welcome. He was passionate about politics, weightlifting, and family, but
most of all he loved doing those things with his wife Holly. In their later years the
two were commonly seen together at the gym, where Andy was never shy,
boasting proudly about his chest muscles!

Andy was a captivating story teller, regaling everyone with stories that ranged from
childhood tales to family events, but most often, his law enforcement adventures.
He had a big heart and was always willing to help others, something that became
apparent to anyone who met him. Andy grew to love the beach life and lived so
happily until the day before his 43rd wedding anniversary May 25, 2016, when his
beloved wife Holly died. That day a part of Andy died too. The loss of her
proved to be far too great for his heart to recover, dying a few months later in the
early morning on September 5th, 2016.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew Jackson Lee II and Thelma
Mae Lee, his brother Walter Reese and sister Dixie Carmack.

He is survived by his four children; Andrew J. Lee IV of Bentonville, AR, Jessica
and Seth Garner of Fayetteville, AR, Travis and Jennifer Lee of Cave Springs,
AR, and Allison Lee of Bentonville, AR; and 10 grandchildren; Taylor, Tia,
Andrew, Caleb, Gracie, Cam, Kennedy, MacKenzie, Alexis, and Christopher;
siblings, Caroline and Jim Anderson, Robert and Linda Lee, Andrea and Mike
Ross, Hattie Lee and numerous nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00am, Friday September 9, 2016 at Cross
Church at Pinnacle Hills in Rogers, AR with Pastor Jeff Crawford officiating.
Following the service there will be a procession and final salute at the Benton
County Sheriff's office.

Visitation will be held Thursday from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at Cross Church at Cross
Church.

A Memorial Service will also be held at a later date in New Smyrna Beach, FL.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Andy’s memory may be made to: The Martha
Christine Roehrig Trust; 705 Faulkner Ave., New Smyrna Beach, FL, 32168.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Stockdale-Moody Funeral Services of
Rogers.

many adventurous trips, together, and with a delightful group of friends.

trips to California and the West coast, to the East coast and Nova Scotia,
