Mrs. Jennifer Delaine Dismuke

Mrs. Jennifer Delaine Dismuke, age 75, of Waldo, Arkansas, peacefully passed away on Thursday, January 23, 2025, at Chi St. Vincent Hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas. She was born in Orange, Texas, on July 11, 1949, to Leodria Moses and Ernest Sibley. Jennifer was a graduate of MB North High School in Orange, TX. After graduation, she moved to Waldo, AR, to reside with her Big Mama, Thelma Humphry—affectionately known as “Big”. Little did she know that, in the small town of Waldo, she would meet and marry the love of her life. On July 29, 1978, she united in matrimony with her gentle giant, Lee Odis Dismuke. They shared 38 wonderful years together until the Lord called him home. Jennifer was a dedicated member of Cedar Grove Baptist Church, where she served in various roles over the years before her health began to decline. She was well-known in her community for her many talents, including being a skilled seamstress, a talented hair braider, and an exceptional cook. Her passion for helping others also led her to serve as a Brownie and Girl Scout Troop Leader, as well as the leader of the Waldo Community Youth Club. Above all, Jennifer cherished her family. Spending time with her loved ones brought her immense joy. She was a great listener, always offering wise, nonjudgmental advice, and treated her nieces and nephews as if they were her own children. Her kindness and generosity touched the lives of everyone she met, and she was a beacon of light to all. Jennifer was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Lee Odis Dismuke; her son, Lamar Dismuke; two sisters, Birdie Reed and Earnestine Foster; three brothers, C.K. Villery, Billy Ray Moses, and Donald Sibley; and her bonus brothers, Ralph Jackson and Nathaniel Jackson. She leaves behind a legacy of love and memories to be cherished by her children: Mark (Michelle) Dismuke, Sr. of Magnolia, AR, Kendall Dismuke of Waldo, AR, and Nicholas (Tammy) Dismuke of Magnolia, AR; grandchildren, DeAndre’ Dismuke, Mark Dismuke, Jr., and Demarion Carter; seven great-grandchildren; her beloved baby sister, Helen Moses of Magnolia, AR; bonus sisters: Gail Williams, Michelle Jackson, and Cecile Jackson; bonus brothers: Byron (Shironda) Jackson, Harry (Kim) Jackson, and Michael (Melva) Jackson; godchildren: Tia Davis, Kwesi Morgan, Dominic Buffington, Rodney Wheeler, and Kenneth Harris; special nieces, Nakia Green and Alysha Davis; one sister-in-law, Shirley Freemon; her dedicated caregiver, Patsy Witcher; and a host of other family and friends who will miss her dearly. Jennifer’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her, and her impact on the lives of those she touched will never be forgotten.
