JoAnn Tidwell passed away peacefully on January 5th, 2022. She was 86 years old. She was days away from celebrating 67 years of marriage to John and according to him, she was the boss for all of them. He said they were blessed to have many more highs than lows. They had long ago reached that point in life where it wasn't just "JoAnn" or just "John" . . . they were "JoAnn & John".
She adored her sons. She was so proud of them and spoke often how much it meant to her that she could rely on them for anything. They were by her side anytime she needed them. She loved her daughters-in-law and thought of them as her own daughters.
She is survived by her husband John Tidwell, and sons Mark and wife Tracy Tidwell of Conway, AR and Tony and wife Kathy of Heber Springs, AR. Also her sister Norma and husband Fred Rogers of Topeka, KS. She had 4 grandchildren; Kassy & husband Darren Eason of Benton, LA, Amy & husband Jeremy Champlin of Cabot, AR, Zach & wife Morgan Tidwell of Dewitt, AR, Ashley & husband Jonathan Shick of Paragould, AR and 6 great-grandchildren; Kaleb & Hannah Eason, Stuart, Levi & Connor Champlin and Jack Tidwell.
