Connie Huntsman`

Connie Blanche Morris Huntsman, 76, of Brinkley passed away July 9, 2026 peacefully surrounded by many loving family members. She was born December 17, 1949 in Monroe, the oldest daughter of Billy and Charlene (Fowler) Morris, and attended Brinkley Schools.

She adored her five siblings, as well as her many cousins. Her quick wit, fun-loving spirit and sassy personality made her the life of the party. She was also a true daddy’s girl and had a deep desire to provide for and protect her mother as she grew older.

She married and began her family as a very young woman. Her daughter, Lisa and son, Rodney, were the very center of her young life. Beneath her strong personality was a deeply protective heart that gave everything she had to her children. She carried that same love, loyalty and encouragement into the lives of her seven previous grandchildren. She was the most amazing grandmother who always made sure each grandchild knew they were unconditionally and wholeheartedly loved.

Connie had a very successful career as a beautician in Brinkley. She was a favorite among her customers because of her friendly personality and tremendous speed and talent for making women feel beautiful and loved. Her job was a passion that she felt proud and confident in doing.

In later years, Connie enjoyed attending church with her mother, Charlene Morris at the Assembly of God Church in Brinkley. She also had a special fondness for listening to and watching Elvis videos. By far, however, her favorite moments were those spent with the family she loved so fiercely. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren, Tyler Paschal, Hope Wells, Hannah Cooper, Becca Joy Paschal, Rachel Paschal, Jerrod Partee and Kaylee Partee.

Connie’s memory will be cherished by her siblings, Ronnie (Carol) Morris, Brenda (Ronnie) Bragg, Vera (Leslie) Bragg, Vera (Leslie) Gaddy and Kristy Vance.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Charlene Morris; father, Billy Morris; and brother-in-law, Scotty Vance.

Her children, Lisa (Van) Paschal and Rodney (Heather) Partee as well as her seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren will forever miss her and be comforted by the tremendous love she had for each one of them.

Funeral service was held Tuesday, July 14 at the Brinkley First Assembly of God Church.
